High compression 4 cylinder with Jenvey Heritage throttle bodies. Motronic EFI. He’s a machinist so lots of custom built parts. One six industries cam angle sensor, which is supposed to also do crank but doesn’t. Oh, and so clean you could lick it!

To begin with I had a great time and met some great people. Got to see some amazing cars up close. Met the JDM guys, Eric and Mauricio and drank lots of beer. That was my first national event. Living on the east coast of Florida 3 hours away made it doable. I understand next years event is in Nashville at NISSAN north America HQ. I am reluctant to say I WILL BE THERE, a year out but that is the plan. As we all know plans change. Oh yeah, some good vendors for those working on projects.......LIKE ME! One in particular is Klassic Fab. www.kfvintagejdm.com. The carry everything for restoration except for a roof. All 4 now!

I spotted this on one of my FB groups (S30 Life), looks to possibly be a great product for all S30's. Interesting wording on the product description: an exact fit for '69-72 models to 06/72, then a very good fit for all later models. Anything coming out of the folks at S30 World is usually spot on. https://s30.world/product/datsun-240z-nissan-fairlady-z-set-of-door-rubbers-door-weather-strips-for-lr-side?fbclid=IwY2xjawFn5BlleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHaFz08OpowthIb4moKiiPnBPNcmmq4RaSxakN8zokI1Jhbkwj32GjHmYIg_aem_XFFA0aZ0MJ1qJZtj6rG2cA

In fact seats came in two specs from the beginning of production. We might call them 'Deluxe' and 'Standard'. 'Standard' seats had no quick recliner/flip forward lever, but 'Deluxe' seats did. North American market cars received the 'Standard' seats until they were superseded (12/71?).

Rex came by today. I was in the shower so I caught up with him and saw his newly painted 510. I’d say perfect!

As usual, the FSM has good information. I'd have to have a rack in front of my eyes to know where to put the nipple and observe the outlet but apparently there is a lubrication procedure defined. Also, various grease applications described before this section. 1976 FSM - Steering.

It looks like I stand corrected, moving to figure two with the arrow confirms the grease reservoir was limited to 240Z models and discontinued for the 260Z and later. I too had never noticed the arrow function before - learn something new every day.

The last time that happened here was about 7 years ago. We lost power for about 6 days in that hurricane, I should have been better prepared this time. All in all we're thankful that power was the only thing we lost. Hundreds of people closer to the beach lost their homes and about 8 or 10 lost their lives. One friend lost 4 of his collector cars to storm surge flooding (a 65 Corvette, 65 GTO, 66 Chevelle SS, 68 Cutlass Convert.) Another neighbor of his lost his house do to fire - - his electric car was flooded with salt water and caught fire burning the house down. I think there was as bad to worse damage in the States North of us - death toll is up to 80/90 there.

I've never seen the multiple figure pages like that, with the arrow you have to click on to get to the next figure. Didn't know they existed on the carparts site. You're right, there's two versions. Many (some?) people remove parts 17, 18, 20 and 21 and pack grease in there. On the 2nd figure, Aug 73 and up. You can tighten it up a bit too, but you have to be sure it doesn't bind at the extremes of travel.
