Thanks Julio. Great work!

I spy a z!
Saw a sweet silver 240Z with twin exhaust tips driving on 101S in the North Bay last Friday (or maybe it was Saturday)!

Finally got one...now to make it mine: 1973 240z Refresh / Personalisation
I bet it sounds glorious!

My Neighbor's 240Z - Almost Done!
The interior is in awesome shape, Julio! Are the plastic panels and diamond-pattern vinyl new?
- Repaired the dash!

SU Sightglasses available (see fuel bowl levels)
Sounds like you want a set of OER triples.

280z 76 not timing, just cover l28
Putting anti-seize on the threads will definitely "affect torque" in that even though your torque wrench will read the same, bolt tension will surely be different. Torquing lubed bolts to dry spec will lead to over-tensioning of the fastener. Whether that makes a difference or not depends on if that over-tensioning yielded the fastener.

Looks amazing, love the color combo! And what local car event would that be, if you don't mind me asking?

Where do I find RB26 throttle bodies?
Nice, ITBs are a dream of mine as well. However, in the meantime... somehow I've wound up with three complete sets of triple Webers...

That doesn't sound right, shipping is supposed to be included in the price.

No problem. Interesting. I'm running H22 hypojets and am planning to downsize to H18 or H20 soon. However, this is a stock-cam L24. I'm building a mild L28 for my other Z and will be using 45s, so sounds like the H28 would be the size to get. Awesome to see others trying out and experiencing Keith's jetting.

Will MSA's fiberglass radiator shroud fit a 2 row champion radiator?
I'm using a Champion 2-row with a stock plastic clutch fan, no shroud. Cools great, even in 100deg+ weather. This is precisely why I stayed with the stock fan after considering e-fans. It cools better and doesn't add any extra circuitry or stress on the (already weak) charging system.

I am at my wit's end with these brakes!
FWIW, it's the other way around. Your rears will tend to lock before the fronts in the dry more so than the wet. There is less weight transfer in the wet (less grip), thus the rear axle is more loaded and less likely to lock prematurely.
