I found that thin layers of spar varnish (brushed on from a can), steel wooled with 000 between coats gave you a harder less tacky feeling than the spray-on MinWax polyurethane. Don't forget to mark your steering wheel before removing it so the pick-ups for the turn signals are returned correctly. All IMO.......Guy

Absolutely motorman7........the quality is OEM and Eiji labels everything for you. He ships fast and is easy to deal with. He's builds a Heck of a motor too....really loves the L series motor. He's still working on his new website, but you can contact him @ eiji@datsunspirit.com Guy

Just received mine,,,,,WOW! They're perfect.......I hope he runs another 50 sets(maybe 100).....they're that good!!!

I talked with Eiji today (Datsun Spirit) at the Richmond Car Show........he's still selling the original Nissan bolt kits. They're beautiful and everything is marked as illustrated above (Five and Dime). I've used them in my last 4 engine builds. I'm going to post his e mail info on Monday (I've got it at work). Guy

Gary.......Yes....I'll see him tomorrow at the Richmond Car Show. I'll PM you his e mail address Monday. Guy

It's a really good show.....Eiji's bringing his new 73.....it's awesome!

The early E88 is obviously no problem.....if using the later head with the larger exhaust valve, you should probably eyebrow the block for added clearance and flow if the block isn't overbored. The late 73's have the same bore size as the early Z's ......... not sure if they are eyebrowed from the factory for the larger exhaust valve.

Yes to question #1. Question #2 E-31 has 42.5 cc combustion chambers....E88 has 44.7cc combustion chambers. E88 up to 7-73 has the same size valves, then the exhaust valve size was increased to 1.38 inches vs 1.30 inches on E88's before 7-73. The intake valves on both the E31 and E88 were 1.65 inches.

My painter had the area under the windshield rubber to compare.....the match was amazing. You're right .....lighting makes a big difference.....from picture to picture can vary, but in person the match is exceptional.

My brother used to live in Moscow, Idaho.......engineer with Monsanto. Good elk hunting!!!

I once owned a 72 persimmon Z. The interior was white not off white!

Richmond ZCar Club is holding their 8th annual Z Car Show this Sunday at Victory Nissan in Richmond, Virginia.......address is: 11401 W.Broad St,; Richmond, Virginia.......time 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It's always a great show! For further info log on to www.richmondzcar.com

Thanks.....I should be able to show some full outside paint soon....looking forward to seeing yours!

My bodyman is painting my car as we speak......he said the single stage PPG wasn't a good match. He is using PPG Deltron 2 stage. If you need further info, I'll be glad to contact him for you. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25643&page=6 The color match is incredible!

Rich.....We blasted to metal, acid etch primer, then my son Brandon sprayed my suspension with urethene. I wouldn't hesitate to acid etch prime then spray with multi light layers of Krylon, Dupli-color or some other high quality spray can paint. That stuff is real quality.....my air cleaner came out beautiful and super durable too! Guy

Floor plugs, firewall plugs etc.

How about the wires to the auto tranny.......what do you do (which wires do you splice) to complete the starting circuit? Thanks Guy

Good looking suspension Lee........can't wait to see your next set of pictures!

Is the pedal box on a 73 240Z automatic transmission car the same as on a manual transmission car? In other words, can I just bolt the 2 pedals from the manual pedal box into the automatic pedal box, attach the springs and stops and bushings and proceed from there?

Ditto on the blue car Carl.....I bought a Z from the seller.....everything was better than advertised!

What class are you running the wagon in Bruce?

No more questions.........

Carl.....How about CB or at least ends in a B? Those repo air ducts would look nice on a yellow car! :bulb:

Carl ain't talking........

His initials wouldn't be JF would they?
