Mounted my original Fairlady grille.

I put a new Bosch FPR on it a couple of days ago and now it starts right up after cranking for only a couple of seconds. Thanks everyone Gary

Thank you for the compliments Red7. We are in the same boat on the blacked out engine bays. I personally despise them on Z car's as I always see them as covering something up. But to each their own but I am happy mine was repainted back to the original silver. Sorry RCB280z, I am keeping the original steering wheel as it belongs to the car. In fact, I may be putting it back on as I am still on the fence about the new steering wheel. It is nice to drive with but it takes away from the originality of the car. Look around on Ebay, the Datsun Classifieds, or Datsun Parts Facebook site, someone is always selling one. Also, don't be afraid of refinishing one, there are several DIY threads on restoring them. Plus, you may be able to get a great deal on one if you don't mind putting in some sweat equity.

I did this a long time ago, but I found, I think it was the rear studs were longer than the fronts. I purchased longer studs from Nissan Motorsports for the rear. I then put the longer rear studs in the front hubs. That way I had the same thread pitch all around.
