I found this thread using the search function: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18795&highlight=soft+ride+springs Hope this helps.

During my search for an anti-backfire valve for my ’72, which is also NLA, according to all the US Nissan parts people I have written, I found Mills Nissan in Canada. At least they took the time to quote me a price and were willing to order it from Japan for me. I ended up getting lucky and found a valve on ebay. Perhaps Mills might be able to locate a source in Japan for key blanks. Below is response to my anti-backfire valve part quote request. Thank you for your email. The price on the part would be $91.84 CND. Because it has to be ordered from Japan, it can't be cancelled or returned once ordered. If you would like to order please contact myself directly at (780) 462-6170 or 1-800-813-8817. Thank you, Jay Klaudt Parts Manager Mills Nissan 3333 - 92 Street Edmonton, AB T6N 1B9 Canada

This is a spare that came with the car when I bought it.

http://www.datsun.org will have the information you are looking for :-)

Miles, Here is a link that might help you isolate the problem: http://www.teglerizer.com/sucarbs/techtip6.htm Good luck! Ed

I'm pretty sure it's NOT factory.

You've found one of the best sites to help with your Z project. I grew up in Mililani Town on Oa'hu. Here's a photo of my '72 I took back in 1986. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=6118&size=big&cat=500&page=2 I'll be visiting the folks back in Hawaii next week and can't wait to eat some local food again!

Thanks, Mark... I asked because I have a non-flapper air cleaner, pair of carbs and euro balance tube in storage.

Chances are the color that's in your spare tire well is the original color.

Mark - Are you looking for an air clearner with or without the summer/winter flapper?

Saturn Sky I wonder if my wife wouldn't mind trading in her 2002 L300 for this :tapemouth

I hope we won't have to resort to extreme measures like this to find him :surprised I'm really starting to miss him

The linked article below also suggest riders of these large displacement bikes (like Harleys) are dying in significant numbers due to lack of experience. I'm a 13 years rider who is very happy in putting around on my 750 Honda Magna. :squareeye http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/usatoday/20050809/ts_usatoday/motorcycledeathsrisesharply "Jeff Rabe, lobbyist for the Modified Motorcycle Association of California, said more "middle-aged executives" are riding powerful machines without training. "There's a huge group of people ages 35 to 50 who have purchased motorcycles," Rabe said. "But they're still beginning riders.""

The yellow Z pictured in my second post doesn't belong to me. I just went to my photo album of the '04 ZCCA Meet and posted it as an example. When done, my orange car is going to look stock, but sitting a little lower and wearing ZX six-spoke wheels.

the interpretation is very subjective. An officer may pull me over for driving something like this...even if the exhaust is as quiet as a church mouse and I'm doing the speed limit. Heaven forbid I would want the right to install a 240ZG nose kit on my car

I'm not a big fan of "Ricers" or street racing, but this is getting a little out of hand! http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/05/576.asp Could you be their next victim?

Thanks guys! I was fortunate to have purchased the car from the non-smoking original owner. Also, the car has 41,558 original miles on the odometer, which helps too.

this installed.

My guess would be an aftermarket fog light or alarm system.

Attached is a photo I took of the smaller rear tail light finishing panel rivets compared to the interior ones.

I've noticed that Carl's visits and postings have dropped as of late too. If I recall, he started a new job recently, and that might be the reason for the absence. I hope all is well.
