Hi Guys Like to know if you guys can tell me if all of my vancum lines are hooked up and or routed correctly. Here are some pics of the newly rebuilt engine I'm finally posting. Below is a link to my photobucket that has many more close up pics and angles to help view where everything is going. Remember it is an stock 1977 280Z 4 speed engine as mentioned above with the same engine and a newly rebuilt cylinder head that is the exact same as the old one it replaced, a N42. All new conntor plugs too. http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/ee59/partnateam/Ruby/ I also added pics of the MSA Aluminum Radiator, Thermostat control for it and the K&N Cold Air Intake Hoping to see if a line is wrong making my car run rich and not pass smog or if a injector is stock open. The injectors were rebuilt but one of them, the number 5 I think it is in the pics, was leaking where the top of green body casing meets the side of the injector casing. The warranty I believe is expired on them so I repleced it with a new Napa injector I originaly bought. Attached files for future thread searchers. ~Z~

Read this thread here, it's what I went through buying my 77 280Z. Need tips on Buying 1977 280z Please. And heres the results The State of Things.... Good luck on your find and check for EVERYTHING. PS she's better now

Well I guess you just have to pop that valve cover off and set it straight. When valves and or rockers get loose they start to rattle. Before my engine was rebuilt I had that same effect at 4500RPM and above. Valves needed adjusting basically.

Wow she's beautiful, named her yet ? Get a car cover from Motor Sport Auto.com . They have the ones that repel water and keep moisture and mold from between the cover and car paint. If you really want a garage keep your home and get a barn shaped storage thing, like sic you see in backyards, and park your Z in that

Ouch, bad drivers stink. I agree, the up angle is way better theres another muffler I can maybe get with that same outlet pipe design. AND I'll finally be done with the Prototype ANSA Twin Stacks i've been working on building this weekend for Z cars! They look nice so far. Will post pics when done . I say that also. I would've loved the WekSos event too, sadly I won't be making it to this event either . I'll try and attend something in April .

Both the Celica ANSA's are going to kobe hyogoku, Hyogo JAPAN. Sold to a really nice Cat who owns this TA27 Celica for $150 each

Here goes the pics of the BIG Red Ansa Sticker! Attached files below, will have the othere pics up Monday. And heres the photo albume link http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/ee59/partnateam/ANSA%20Decal%20Authentic%20Factory%20Race%20Sponsor%20Stickers/?start=all

PM sent bro For thread reference purpose heres the pic of the red lion style spoke of. The new one I found is actually in better condition than this one, has no nicks, comes with the original box aswell and still has the original Yellow price tag on it Heres the link to the photo album http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u280/Wingzr0/Datsun%20Prince%20Rally%20Shift%20Knob/ ~Z~

Z's run on 0 offset rims but you can use anywhere between +10 or -10. Any rims on like 1970's to 1980's rear wheel drive Celicas will work mostly along with 60 to 70's Mustangs or similar size muscle car like a Dodge Dart. Triumph cars too. Brands like Enki, Watanabe, American Racing, Ansen or anything old school. Look at Zbarn.com for a nice selection of old school bolt on and go wheels.

Thats true. But you just see it, 20 year from now when people are draggin those cars out of the weeds, "Dude I just scored some Hella rare Stanza steering knuckles! ".

Sounds like you know what your gettin in to

Ha Ha , I like you style partna . I'll tell you what, if you really want it then $45 shipped it's yours . You can hit me up at the phone number in my parts store link in my sig.

I also highly recommend you visit IZCC.com and another site called Zpoint.nl , it's a rally car site with tons of cool vintage 1970's rally racing movies too watch he you really wanna see what these cars are about . ~Z~

Well if it's really right hand drive then it could've been retitled, or renamed rather, as a 240Z once it got here into the States. And as far as this part goes, maybe 1 out of 60 in the states and maybe 1 of 60 for that year of 1973. You gotta remember there were quite a few military guys bringing these back in the early 70's. Also you should know it originally came with the S20 motor and NOT the L series inline six engines (L24, L26 or L28 ) offered for us. So you'll need to find another Fairlady parts car or S20 motor for sale to put it back to stock JDM spec, other wise it's just another right hand drive 240Z.

Just got my hands on a pair of authentic 13.5 x 5 inch "ANSA SPORT" stickers! The background is white with the words ANSA in red and SPORT in black if your not familiar with the logo. Only two I've seen since I started hunting Ansa's . And also got 3 of the same clear static cling reverse windshield version of this ogo in 5.5 x 3.5 too! The white paper backing can be left on to make it more visible as well. Put one of the static cling ones inside of my quarter window. AND IT LOOKS COOL, YEAH . Will post pics tomorrow or on Monday when I'm back home. Saga NGK . . . . continues . . . .

WoW! What a GREAT DAY! WHAT A AWESOME freakin day. I was going through some of my boxes of auto and Datsun stuff to put on my parts store site and came across another NOS red datsun lion walnut shift knob that I'd completly forgot about . What a awesome day

Sounds like someone's avoiding inventory tax, by throwing out tha cash.

Therrrrres your sign

A MINT condition Limon Yellow 1970 Celica just strolled across the intersection wearing chrome American Racing Outlaw rims. Guess that makes 3 now .

Yeah, like i said, "Thread Dredge" . Get this, the guys out in the ocean off the coast of Brazil on a Siesmic Boat right now! Guess they studie earthquakes. Anyway he's going to have someone email some pics of the ignition box and write down the make and part number. Also says the distributor is factory and was asking about MSD PN8910 Tach Adapter FWIW. Will report back once I get those pics.

Pm sent to ya.

Great recovery! Serves him right, Bloody Bastard. They need to bring back the chain gang, I hope he bust rocks.

Heh brother, sounds like you have a beauty! Wheres the pics ? Blue Plates are awesome on a Z. Had a Polar White 78 with some. What are your plans for the car, a complet tear down or just get her going?

Thanks guys, the guy's in the Soviet Union and sent a message out the blue. I'll relay the info and suggest he come visit the site as this is a bit out of my league. Wiring, oh the horror .

Now we see your point, good question. At this point his job should be done right? Does he plan to buff it out? Maybe you should take him at face value and start re assembly then, call my body guy who also paints Z's at 530 632 7447 and see what he can tell about the process. Tell him Isaiah sent you .
