Parts Wanted: Mounting bracket for NISMO electric fuel pump
I'll be purchasing this after the new year and installing one of the Nismo pumps. It looks like the pumps are readily available on Ebay. Does anyone know if there was a period-correct pre-filter for this setup?

Yes, there are holes pre-drilled in the frame. I found mine over the summer -- behind the passenger rear wheel and near the tank. Sorry can't find the pic.

I would be interested.. 😉 Also someone mentioned that Taka-something is remanufacturing these. I have no idea who they are, but a link would be much appreciated.

Half shaft rebuild. What could require that?
Done, thanks!

VTO Wheels Spotlight - Mike Gholson
Wasn't sure if I added this somewhere on the site already. So, I'm adding this to my CZCC personal blog. Mike Gholson of the Classic Zcar Club knows wheel fitment is key to getting the look that makes his car stand out. Mike came to VTO Wheels because he knew our fitment and customer service is the best in the industry. The VTO Classic 8 GTR 16"x7" wheels gives Mike's Z car a stylish finish, while the deeper lip gives a much more desirable and understated aggressive look. This yellow beauty is sitting on stock struts with Tokico springs that lower the car 1 inch. The VTO's are 0mm offset and wrapped in 205/55-16 BFG G-Force Sport 2 sticky rubber. No rubbing issues are reported, and the ride is said to be smooth and free of vibration. Thank you for your support, and please let VTO help you find the perfect fit for your next project, whatever the year, make, or model may be. Don't know what offset or bolt pattern to run? With us fitment doesn't have to be a guess! We will send you a wheel to test your fitment so you know that when you place an order, the fit will be perfect. Shop VTO Wheels

Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
@inline6 nice work, she's looking good! Quick question, where'd you get that beautiful brake light switch (looks like a proportioning valve)? Mike

Lack of Site Support
Thanks guys! It's all good, I didn't see how this map update screwed up the profile page but it's a programming thing. Rather than try to fix it, I think we need to do some updates on the server back-end to get the newest update installed first. And, yes I'd love to visit Hungary to go check out their beautiful Z cars !! 😉

I figured it out... our community map module update screwed some things up. I disabled it until I can get the site software update going. Mike

Lack of Site Support
Hey guys! Yeah, I'm here... been on vacation for a bit and kiddo starting High School too soon... so it's been a zoo this summer. I'll take a look at these errors asap. But, just to let you know there's a big software update I need to install and it may take a few days to get everything back to normal again. Sorry things have been pretty afk on my part.. that will change in September when I'm back at the desk more often. Mike

Is it worth considering a used set of Panasport Formula wheels
Just make sure they are true round and balance is good before you buy them. 😉

Age & Wisdom Datsun Style
For me, here's a small list: Pick a stock color to paint my '71. It would be more valuable later. Don't buy NOS front fenders, just fix the fenders that came on the car (they weren't that bad). Don't install poly bushings, just use new rubber bushings. Don't drill holes in the floor. Never do this. Buy that electric fuel pump bracket you saw on eBay. They are hard to find now. Install stock front valance, the series 1 doesn't need to be modernized. I'm sure I'll keep adding to the list. Mike

Age & Wisdom Datsun Style
So, basically I was thinking about this today and thought it would be a great discussion topic. The question came up as I was working on my Z again this year. Are there some things I would have done differently in my older age and, if I could advise my younger self, what would it be? Related to the topic of this forum, of course.

Referral link
That link is a referral (obviously) but the actual link can be found on the main page blocks. It comes from "Tell a Friend" and clicking the Share option. Each user has a unique referral code and you will get credit for referring others. Other people cannot use it unless you specifically sent it to them or post it somewhere. Mike

Chat GPT - AI Bot
Since the AI bot pretty much scans the Internet for various bits of information, it looks to me like it took those words from our club description and put some extra content around it. It's not always correct because I did run into some strange information a few times. It's worth some time to re-generate content over a few inquiries before it gets the information mostly correct. But since it simply scans the Internet, who knows what kind of real true answers you'll get from the thing.
