    Well, I have been looking for a new project and everything is beyond my price, so I picked up this to work on for the winter. Not a S30, but it is a 70’s Japanese Machine with a Z in the model name.
  2. I think the gauge has a bimetallic strip in the circuit that heats up with current flow and opens than closes as it cools, if you put it straight to ground with no sensor it with heat up quickly. Take Zed Head’s advice and check it with a mechanical gauge.
  3. I never implied that he needs a shell, just a possible source for a rail.
  4. Years ago I got my rear quarters from a 73 at Hidden Valley Auto parts in Maricopa. I wonder if they still have the rest of the shell there. It would be worth a phone call.
  5. Yes, they all seemed to work at first, I do not recall how long the first two lasted, a couple of weeks maybe? they would start causing the car to run very rough and backfire, the timing gets messed up. The last one went for about 150 km and then started doing the following, it would be running well and just shut off like the key was turn off, it restarted every time for a while and I thought I had a loose wire, and then completely died. Swapping out it with an old one worked. If you do not have the old one try using the one that is on the coil as I am sure it is just for noise suppression for the radio.
  6. I would try replacing the condenser with one of you old ones if you still have it, I just went though three new ones that I bought from rockauto and all three failed. I am back to using one of my old ones with no problem.
  7. well, a bit more trading and got this mug, not 240z but still kind of cool.
  8. Went over to Vancouver Island on Sunday and spent the day on a cruise with a bunch of Datsun folks, it was a enjoyable drive. Everyone did the social distancing thing. @zKars I think you would know most if not all of these cars and their owners.
  9. I have been using the Kia weatherstripping on both doors and the hatch for 5 years now and have no issues with noise and/or fumes. The doors close with a nice quiet click.
  10. The only things that I can think of that could be different are when they changed the supports under the top of the fenders that the little foam pads sit on from one to two, and the metal tabs for the wire harness down the length of the passenger rail changed from one to a double tab. I am not sure when those changes occurred and neither will be a problem.
  11. Sorry no I tossed it when I replaced it with the exedy one. I had no problems installing it.
  12. Well that is good that you do not have a odd transmission, but still sucks as to what is the answer your problem.
  13. Rcv — 150. Mine - 153 73. 74 20. 18 25. 26 as well, I get 136 to the flat that the pivot screws into, Hope this helps.
  14. 31 with washer and 28.4 without
  15. I looked at my spare A and get 105mm to the pivot, what other measurements do you want me to check.
  16. I found this site good for some things. https://www.autopartsway.ca/category.cfm?nissan/1971/240z/base/2.4l-l6/allb/allct/allsct
  17. I missed the birthday for mine it was on the 25th.
  18. I found the post , I was wrong, it was a car that @zKars scrapped.
  19. One way to tell, even though most of the pollution stuff was removed, is if it has three or four lines under the car. A non emission car will have three, main fuel, fuel return line and brake lines. A emission car will have four, the extra vapour return line from the flow valve. Even if someone removed all of the emission stuff, I do not think they would bother to change all of the line rubber bits from four holes to three.
  20. Yes, my car has the same cover, I asked the same question about them in my build thread and also got no clear answer. I think I saw one on one of the cars that @zKars had bought and sold a while ago. I wonder if it is a "UN" cold weather option that never made the parts book. @grannyknot, do you know if you 01955 car was a "UN" model?
  21. So the old “company store” trick
  22. Hope she gets a cut of the profit
  23. I would be in for a set, and also hoping that the cdn dollar is stronger by the time you have them ready.
