Right you are Jim. It’s not an early manifold, it’s a manifold from a ZX with no exhaust tubes......W48. I tried 3/8 and 1/2 inch plugs.....one too small and one too large. I just want to plug it. I’ll order an M18x1.5 plug. Thanks so much for your help.....I am always impressed with your knowledge of Z cars. Regards Guy

Took the white 70 for some exercise. Developed an exhaust leak (loud). Found the cause....she’s missing a bolt (plug) from her early exhaust manifold. Anyone know the thread size of this item, or better jet do they have one they could spare? Thanks Guy

Sorry, missed that you wanted the decal numbered. Mike at Banzai had someone stencil my engine (brand new) serial number (in the engine bay) engine plate. Call him.....if anyone knows where to get it done it would be him.

Banzai Motorworks sells them. zzxdatsun.com

We’ll get there at 5.....start running at 6. Hope to get a least 3 runs. Would love to have you join us.
-
This should pretty much cover it. BTW, if anyone close to Dinwiddie wants to join us, we’d love to have you.

Safari Gold......great color choice!

Wow.....Sorry Jerry.....just seemed like the symptoms I had with a reaction disc. Pedal hard as a rock but had to stand on the pedal with both feet to stop.
-
Charles is sending him another......a lot easier to just use that one. A loose reaction disc won’t hurt anything if it just stays in the booster IMO.
-
I usually build my own motors, but Eiji built both of my Strokers. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Getting ready to go head to head at Dinwiddie quarter mile track again this Spring with Eiji. Gonna see how the Stroker does in the sprint.
-
I’ve known Eiji for a long time......he lives and breathes L Series Motors. I share his passion......as does everyone on this forum obviously!!!!!
-
Red77.....You made a very wise decision. You’ll get an amazing engine from Eiji and he will build it himself. He’ll check and double check every measurement and part and will send pictures throughout the process. It’ll be worth every penny you spend. Keep us updated with pics......congrats!

You don’t have to disconnect the steel lines from the master cylinder to install the disc. Just take off the two nuts holding the m/c to the master vac and carefully pull it away from the master vac. Pull out the plunger/adjuster shaft. Super glue the disc to the back of the plunger/adjuster shaft and reinstall in reverse order.
-
Sounds exactly like the symptoms of a missing reaction disc in the master vac. Did you replace the brake master cylinder when you did the front upgrade?
-
They are a blast......and the best part is that you can give em back at the end of the day Charles!
-
Love that Z!!! Safari Gold rocks.
-
You are dead on with the torque numbers....17.5 to 19 ft. lbs. Avoid at all cost the urge to give it a little more uummmph! Broken bolts in the flywheel suck. 19 lbs. at the very most....and just torque once!
-
That’s wild! .......wonder why they used two colors? Thanks for your help. Guy
-
Thanks Blue, I see the pic of the original wheel. Looks like a satin black (not gloss).....would that be a correct assessment?
-
Anyone know the color of the stock 240Z wheels? Friend of mine is restoring a 1970 240 and wanted to know the proper stock color. Thanks Guy
