I plugged mine off but it doesn't get very cold down here. Less chances off leaking, losing coolant was my main reason. Lots of info in these threads... https://www.google.com/search?q=plugging+water+to+carbs+240z+classiczcars.com&sca_esv=77dc914585b7f4b2&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1121US1121&ei=1oETafjINaKHp84P-LudoAw&ved=0ahUKEwj4i8S_3uqQAxWiw8kDHfhdB8QQ4dUDCBM&oq=plugging+water+to+carbs+240z+classiczcars.com&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiLXBsdWdnaW5nIHdhdGVyIHRvIGNhcmJzIDI0MHogY2xhc3NpY3pjYXJzLmNvbTIFEAAY7wUyCBAAGKIEGIkFMgUQABjvBTIIEAAYgAQYogQyBRAAGO8FSJZBUOkFWKcfcAF4AJABAJgBlgGgAcYIqgEDMC45uAEMyAEA-AEBmAIKoALsCMICDhAAGIAEGLADGIYDGIoFwgILEAAYsAMYogQYiQXCAggQABiwAxjvBcICCxAAGIAEGLADGKIEwgIKECEYoAEYwwQYCsICCBAhGKABGMMEmAMAiAYBkAYIkgcDMS45oAfSHLIHAzAuObgH5wjCBwUwLjguMsgHFA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

Thanks! Of course and now that I know I was able to find in shop manual.

Thanks! Not really sure how that would work but more power to Datsun! I think I'll just leave it off and install some sort of standard nipple.

Well hell! @Tanker what year was that Honda electrical brake booster? Did you get a hold of the 3D print file? I’m intrigued but I can’t find the Facebook thread! 😫

I was purchasing a complete NOS ignition switch minus any keys. How difficult is to have keys made for it? Should I take it to a locksmith?

@Terrapin Z - you have a PM! @kickstand80 - you have an email.

This one is still in my 82 parts car.

It is a thermostatic switch to close off the manifold coolant line (the tube across the manifolds). A remedy for over heating the fuel, that did not function well. IMHO

Crankcase breather tube, The large hole goes the the PCV valve on the intake manifold.

Blue pipe I'm taking off my emissions and saw this. Seems important but I have no idea how important. It obviously needs to be attached somewhere...

Goes on the intake manifold near the firewall. Mine broke off when I was trying to remove the short hose that attaches to this doohickey.

Parts are located in North Dakota. If you want pix I can do that for you. I have been around this forum for a while and I make and sell Datsun Distributor parts that are NLA so there should be a few members that will vouch for me. You can DM me, email me at chaug@bis.midco.net or text me at seven zero one - 471 - Fifteen Thirty four. If you google search Matchbox distributor breaker plate repair kit you will find me.

@preith I have a HVAC housing with a broken mounting ear that I would be willing to part out. Do you have everything else needed? I have several complete manual HVAC setups and one Auto setup.

In the process of accumulating parts to convert from the dreaded "auto" HVAC system to something manual. In need of a used manual "water ****" valve assembly along with with associated air-mix door linkage pictured below. The valve need not be operational, I'm only interested in the linkage assembly and housing that bolts to the airbox - hoping someone can pull it off a parts car or something. Thanks!

Another reason to look @ a car before bidding/purchasing

Should have put it on BaT so we could pick it apart!

That seller 911r has legions of bat followers who droolover their driving videos and art pics. I haven't looked at the listing but I would guess no one has pointed out any of the issues beyond the mismatched paint work. Good from far...

It looks bent around the exhaust pipe. Maybe backed the pipe in to something and it caused some damage. Good Not so good, but not terrible. The bumper looks a bit dinged up on the bottom too.

Wow, that close-up really shows some warts, Thanks.

If, by 'damage', you're referring to the discoloration on the bumper face, it's caused by the fumes from the exhaust.
