I need help with a Dime wagon
Thanks Bruce, That's what I was afraid of. I will just have to try some numbers and see what happens. I need a lot of the seals as most of these are crunchy. We'll see what I get.

I need help with a Dime wagon
I haven't liked dealing with my local Nissan dealer. Also Courtesy has been very good to us vintage car owners and I would like to support that effort. I have the same thing with my BMW's. I buy parts out of Buena Vista, CA because my local dealer always wants to hurt$$ me. Even with freight from California the parts are much cheaper than I can get locally. Any insight on whether it is really available if I can add it to the cart?

I need help with a Dime wagon
I have a question. For those of you who have ordered from Courtesy Nissan, at what point do you know if they have it or can get it. I can add parts to my cart but the little red dot is lit. "Out of stock 2-4 days" Does that means they can get it or do I have to order and just wait and see?

'72 240Z Rebuild
We have lots of black snakes, some garter snakes. We also have cotton mouths in the low country, rattlers closer to the mountains and copper heads here. I killed one of those earlier this year. I can deal with them as long as they don't surprise me and I'm not in a crawlspace with them....

I need help with a Dime wagon
I don't know for sure. It has what looks like a 2 barrel down draft, but the choke has been made inoperable by a previous owner. It could probably use a rebuild.

Thanks Philip, Mike had posted that too. I spent a good deal of time there looking around.

Thanks for the links Mike! I spent an hour or so just researching parts numbers. It is interesting everything doesn't show in the diagrams. The actual instrument cluster and gauges don't shown and the quarter window glass and seals aren't there either.

I need help with a Dime wagon
I know I am potentially going to the dark side but my son just turned 15 and we bought him a 1972 510 wagon. It is amazing how rare parts are for these cars. They makes Z's look plentiful and parts look cheap! I know we have sites that shown the part numbers for Z's, does anyone know of a site that would show parts numbers for 510 cars. Would the FAST system show it? I think Courtesy Nissan and I are gonna become good friends. Thanks, Guys "...Luke, I am your father... Nooooooo!!!...

Rear control arms bushings replacement
If there is not a lot of excess movement like the bushing is shot then some would say "no"

Rear control arms bushings replacement
I can't tell on the bushing. It looks fine in the picture to me but maybe I am missing something. As for blasting the control arm. Blast them and paint them black or powder coat them black.

Rebuilding new brake calipers
I agree totally about not wanting unnecessary dirt and rust inside the system. It just shortens the life expectancy.

Need your help
Should be "HLS30-02148" Look above the brake booster on the firewall if it is left hand drive. Engraved into the firewall is the VIN number that can be stenciled. Yeah, What "quick draw" said ^^^ Those Texans are fast on the draw...

Rebuilding new brake calipers
How did you go about cleaning them up? If I am looking at the picture right the cylinder bore looks pitted.

Good day with my Z
Front carb was dry? The back carb had fuel? How did you check the lines for blockage? Which lines did you check?
