rear diff oil?
the stuff leaking out might be synthetic. its a welded diff (spool). is it OK to use mobil 1 synthetic differential oil? 73 240Z. thanks! -james PS while im at it, how hard is it to remove the rear cover and replace the seal? ive rebuilt a couple of ford 8.8 LSD's in the cars so im familiar with the process.

brake pads, old ones glued in?
porterfield makes a bunch of different pads. these came in the box of spares so that why i am using them. fortunately, the rotors look new. ill check out the bleeding instructions. why so much bleeding required? is there something about the construction of the brake system? thanks! -james

brake pads, old ones glued in?
i just put a set of porterfield R4 pads on my ITS 1973 240z. the old pads were sort of glued on with this purple stuff. what is it and do i need i on my new pads? the caliper was quite different than on my other cars. no shims or springs, just those bars held in with the hairpin clips. thanks, -james

240z, 260z or 280z?
for a nice 240 you will be paying a slight premium for the 'classic car' status that comes with it. you can get it back when you sell it, of course. -james 65 FFR cobra 73 240z thevenom.net

race and street floats?
i was told that because it runs rich, it can foul the plugs. i popped them in today and it seems to run less smooth below 3K RPM. -james
