MSA started to carry those again as a factory reproduction in the last catalog I think.. Yup, its like 54 bucks

Those are probably wantanabe's look like a 16x9 ish...VERY expensive

Call me jealous.. that is awesome! Man, I certainly hope you let me see that beauty in person, so I can see how much work my paint needs! Perhaps you can recommend a paint shop to me!

They both receive independent gas, but even if one is not working at all, the balance tube may be able to support the entire engine under certain circumstances. You can see how the balance tube receives metered air/fuel. Granted you its a fairly torturous path, but it is very possible.

I do like the BRE replica wing I have on my Z. Really fits the car. It was installed by the dealer according to my paperwork. One question though. I miss not having the 240Z/Datsun emblems on back of the trunk lid. When the factory added the deck lid spoiler, did they remove the emblems? Is there a correct way this config should be? With / Without emblems?

UPDATE: Roger sent me a tracking number on my Type A transmission, it is on the way. I have my shiny new tranny jack waiting to get to work. Only thing left to do is order an OEM clutch kit form courtesy (as recommended by roger) and get to work. I will keep this thread alive to post the process of dropping a datsun tranny. To most of you this is old news, but some may find it valuable.

I just bought one! Hope shipping is not too bad. Thanks so much! I cannot wait to go through it, polish it up and get her installed. 17 degrees of initial advance sure beats 5 degrees. Curse our emissions dizzies.

I most certainly was! Do you have a bead on one?

we may have to do that! That could be fun!

wow, Steve, you have a great eye! And your subject matter looks fresh even though I have been to a million weddings. You capture things in a very unique way

That is an option I have considered. I know a few places around me that are sort of secret that I use to shoot my other cars at. I have an 8MB Digital SLR, so I could set something up... What I am finding is I am liking the vintage racing photos more and more. I can take some of the contributions I have received and do some editing (change to black and white and making them look vintage, and presto). I will take some pics of my car though, but it feels like blowing up a pic of my car to hang in front of my car is akin to walking into some-bodies house and seeing a 6 foot painting of the owner. Sort of narcissistic. I cannot believe how great the response has been. I look forward to seeing more pics! Thanks again so much.

I want to thank everyone so much for the help, I have a few emails that I am going to use to get blown up. right now I am thinking of getting this one in a 12' by 8' to cover an entire wall.. its awesome, even though it is not really datsun related...its just amazing

much appreciated buddy!

I am doing some major garage overhaul, and I thought I would make a mural or a fathead from a photo and put it in my garage. I was wondering if people could send me any super hi res photos 6 MB minimum of any Z pics they have so I can blow them up to at least a 4' x 6' image. My email is sdamico555@gmail.com I got in the mood to paint the entire garage yesterday, then I figured I may as well put of a shelving system, then I may as well hang the bikes, and the list goes on and on. While I am waiting for my transmission and parts to come in so I can do a swap out, I may as well be productive! I must be crazyROFL

Been trying to get Roger to give me a call back. I am itching to get him some money. Great guy to talk to and do business with. I can respect that he puts life before Datsuns. And here I thought they were the same thing.

1971 240Z totally can confirm what Arne says. At night I am a good 1/8" into the + side, thought maybe I had a regulator issue. When I looked at the diagram again, and realized what was really happening I understood. I may one day upgrade to a 60amp internal regulated alternator, but not until my stock system dies.

When I had put my Ztherapy carbs on I had them removed as well. You can use the stock fitting on the oil filter side of the engine, but just block off the port that connected to the intake heater line.

This is a wonderful idea... thanks for bringing this up. I am still looking for a good way to hold my optima down...it sits in a plastic box that is held down by a stupid nylon strap. PO was not too big on fixing this.. It is time to make it right.

I took of my overrider bar, do you need any dimensions off it.. I would be happy to help.

All of you guys did a wonderful job. Exhausts can be made of great quality at home... your sound is amazing!

Looking forward to hearing the test drive results Dave.. Good luck! by the way, that antenna shot is awesome. You should keep that handy as many antenna threads are posted by newbs like me when they go into the car for the first time. That picture is worth a hundred posts.

Well this is what is to come with these cars. Fewer parts available for cheap. We should just be thankful we can find them even if they are expensive. What about Zbarn Dave? They seem to have hundreds of used parts.

what size tires are those?

Dave, rock auto seems to have a selection of these parts... www.rockauto.com OR you can try autoanything... www.autoanything.com has OEM nissan parts according to their website..

word of warning.. use care when taking off the stripes, they can pull off paint. I had a chip or two come off when I took mine off. Had to find some touch up paint to cover it up.
