That's not likely a dealer warranty tag. Most likely "Big Eddie" was a mechanic with a strong sense of complete disclosure who went to a lot of trouble to document an engine swap for the then current and all subsequent owners. Note that he installed the tag on the firewall over the factory stamping of the VIN and made no attempt to replicate the OE tag. Good job "Big Eddie"!!!

Let me help a bit with your knowledge base. NOS = New Old Stock New = not used; Old Stock = not recently produced. A lot of NOS parts are also NLA = No Longer Available, as such are often valued to restorers who want high accuracy and won't accept used or reproduction parts. These grommets go in the firewall where your heater hoses pass thru from the engine bay to the heater core inside. The grommets I have are NOS but are still available from Nissan - see this link: https://www.courtesyparts.com/oem-parts/nissan-grommet-rubber-2724328500. I also gave you a link to aftermarket reproductions for $25/set plus shipping. The new Nissan ones will cost you at least $21.68 each plus tax, your local dealer can probably order them and you can likely pick them up there to avoid shipping costs. The set I have are $30, including postage. If still interested, PM me and we can complete the transaction. Jim

Your tanks and frame are stock. The lower tank shows the radiator came out of an automatic transmission car. Your grommets are here: https://www.240zrubberparts.com/apps/webstore/products/show/4842851 And... I have a set of Nissan NOS grommets for $30 if you are interested.

The body of the ashtray is clear zinc, the fittings are chrome.

My car had the dealer-installed A/C when I bought it new, the original 2-row was in place. It did not hold up well and after several repairs I had it re-cored with a three row, still in the car today.

CO - the most recent batch was about 25 lbs., both clear and yellow. Three of us went in together, the total cost was $200, no breakout on the color. The largest pieces were a fuel rail and a heat shield. For individuals like me, it is a cash-only (check) transaction - no credit cards. I'm sure they have billing for the commercial accounts. As to whether they would ship, that would be a question to raise in a contact with them. The company is Texas Precision Plating, http://www.texasprecision.net/ Speaking of ashtrays, this one just completed (soon to be listed for sale ):

They don't separate the parts, all of the batch goes thru the bake cycle so everything is consistent in color whether its clear or yellow. Per the comments by @zspert above, this shop has tanks large enough to handle the long fuel/hydraulic lines. A buddy has his done and they came out awesome.

The plater covers that automatically.

We know you for the NOS partZ-junkie that you are! A 12-step program will not be successful.

I get all my plating done locally - lucky to not have to deal with shipping. My philosophy is that the results will be no better than the prep so everything is thoroughly stripped of paint, rust, scale, grease, ...etc. prior to delivery. Get rid of scratches and rough edges. Yes... small bits can and will get lost so I secure those pieces per the pics below - problem solved! Anything with a spring, including spring steel, will need a bake cycle to drive out nitrogen (?) molecules. if not done, the piece will break.

On Facebook, The 240Z Guild just posted of the sale of an original paint '71 for $72,500.

I had heard a story a few years back that Vintage was including PRP items in their Z kits due to ongoing mfg. issues with main seals such as doors, windshield, ...etc. Don't know if that was just a rumor but it seems it would be worth raising the question with them prior to placing an order. Don't overlook the Kia Sportage options if spot-on accuracy is not an issue.

Yup!

Going to Norway!

The very talented engineers at Nissan and those trained in S30 maintenance knew how to skillfully (and quickly) extract a window. I have never been able to master the trick and always ended up removing the window frame to safely get a window out.

I know that @Carl Beck is quite competent to defend his posts but nothing in his last statement suggests equating the compression force on a Tokico to spring rate. Simply put - where the OE hydraulic shocks were passive in the suspension setup, the Tokico shocks are an active suspension ingredient by creating downforce with 80 pounds of pressure. With the springs as a constant, ride height is affected. I have these shocks with Eibach Progressive springs and can attest to a degraded ride quality. His statement to Lee says nothing more than a hope that the pressurization does not approach the Tokico level of 5+ bars and a request that the pressurization be a disclosed specification. My unsolicited $0.05 worth!

Charles, I remove the springs, leave the nylon wedges in place. Plating leaves a residue on the nylon which I scrape off. Springs go on a wire to not lose in the process, insert after the nylon wedge is clean, add the New bumper from 240zrubberparts and done. Jim
