Are you kidding? This place is full of nuts.

He got back to me late last night (my time in CST). For some reason he had not received my previous email and is not getting notifications from this site so was unaware of the tags in this thread as well as the PMs. Thank you all for helping alert him that I was attempting to get in touch with him, this community is great!

I think you used a old or older adress, that he does not check every day! go to: www.z-services.eu/en/ and you can see all he sells! ALSO.. he says on his site: Lastly, we are currently experiencing issues with the email address contact@z-services.eu. If you have not received a reply to your messages, please contact us at info@z-services.eu instead.

Whatever you're writing in your messages must be something he's avoiding. You seem reasonable and rational on this forum. Any reason he would be avoiding you? Not a good look for him if there's no good reason. Maybe your messages aren't getting through. Never know. This should bring him directly to this thread. Good luck. @Sean Dezart

If you haven't got money in deal I'd seriously think about MSA ceramic coated headers. I've got 6to1s on both my cars and very pleased after 10 years of running them with MSAs 2.5" aluminum, I think, to the back bumper. They have other configurations but I like the sound and backpressure of the the 6to1. It's loud but only if you chose. Stay out of it until you get away from neighbors and then who gives a flip. It sounds like a Jake break coming down the small mountains of the Appalachians I have close by. If the guy won't talk to you, it's not going to have a wonderful ending no matter what you pay him. Get out while you can.

I bought an N42 that had been in machine shop jail for a few years, guy never came back for it and I paid maybe $200 for a newly rebuilt head with an oiler cam installed. Put it on and went about 5 miles and the god awfullest noise came from the valve train. Limped back home and found a lash pad had come off. Thank goodness there was no damage and @Jeff 78 280z talked me down off the ledge, told me how to fix it and I've not had to look back. Runs great every since.

Arguing with your machinist is worse than arguing with you doctor, he's always right no matter if he's wrong.

Aside from replacing a part that meets Nissan specs, another factor to consider might be that used Nissan is probably better than new aftermarket.

Wow, very nice production and a small necessary detail for proper restorations. Thank you !

I guess after reading this, i believe it's time for me to find a compressor and do a leak down test properly as last resort before opening the engine.
