    I am afraid we are going to see more of this...

    This is exactly right. Society, atleast society in the US, is not nearly as polite as it was 5 or 10 years ago, and scared and or hungry people are very unpredictable. There are a surprising number of people who realize this and that there is a limited amount of food in the grocery store. I believe that is the main reason for people stocking up. The government isn't going to give any notice if they institute interstate travel bans or shelter in place orders. So many people don't really keep much food at home because a great many of them eat out a lot. If you think you might be stuck at home tomorrow for 2 weeks, you might like to have some food. Easy food too, if you might not be feeling great. It's just logical... It's actually refreshing to see that there are still some logical people in this country.
  4. I believe all of those are R200 cars

    I have been watching the John Hopkins site for 3-4 weeks now S Korea pushed very hard from the very beginning to mitigate transmission and they have a very high percentage of hospital beds versus population. Also the death rates spike when the medical system gets overwhelmed like in Italy and Iran. That's when it gets ugly. That is the reason for all the current closings, to slow transmission to a manageable level.
  6. Your junk yard has a lot of cars laying around. If you find 300zx with the possible LSD, check it! It should have a finned cover and both wheels will turn in the same direction. Always buy the half shafts with the diff! I have 2 here that I bought a decade or so ago out of Florida
  7. Try this... 67088157-240Z-Automatic-Transmission-Manual[1].pdf Can someone move this to the technical knowledge base for me?
  8. "anonymous sources" are just gossip. Like playing "telephone"... I tend to be pretty skeptical of everything I read these days. Take it all with a grain of salt...
  9. I know very little about the 3 speeds but I would definitely looking at the solenoids. Isn't there an FSM for the 3 speed somewhere?
  10. That's funny!! I don't care who you are...
  11. Careful with the back!!! Several people including myself have had difficulties replacing the rear bearings. On reassembly the rear hub quits rotating when the nut gets torqued down. It is a function of getting the bearings set just right. On mine I took a big hammer to get them right. Maybe somebody could find the threads for me and post a link

    They have always had reserves It is primarily a market place for salvage vehicles, but they have tried to expand that in recent years to vehicles that aren't wrecked. They also sell donated vehicles, like Angel cars. A car like this is probably a private seller but most of the cars are being offered by insurance companies. sometimes the ad says who the seller is, sometimes it doesn't. I just thought the price was astounding
  13. This is really amazing to me. $6,700 significant rust and doesn't run. The ACV is unrealistic too $46k https://www.copart.com/lot/31672690
  14. If the rear bearings give you any issues with binding on reassembly, you might want to think about adding onto the end of one of the existing rear bearing / hub threads. Might also be a good time to skim those to avoid any issues. Hopefully you'll have no issues...
  15. I think I would prefer the correct shape over all else. It would be nice to know how they compare to the factory thickness
  16. I dont think I would try to reinvent the wheel. I would just buy the harnesses I needed and swap them out
  17. I think some of the difference is regional. A lot more datsun enthusiasts in the northwest than the southeast. So more supply...
  18. That's a solid deal!!!! You'll owe Cliff a run around in your snake one day...
  19. As a general question to the audience. Would you prefer thicker metal or a more accurate stamping?
  20. I agree on a level but I also have my wife and two girls in the house. My wife spins that toilet roll like it's wheel of fortune. One time I had my septic guys come pump my tank out. There was an iceberg of toilet paper in there. They made a comment about not using so much TP. I told them I have to pick my battles...
  21. Let me know if I need to send a care package. Provided they'll deliver it
  22. $250 is a great deal. The las I bought was $350 and I had to pull it
  23. I have two teenage daughters right now and they can be challenging! Do the best you can and don't damage the the long term relationship. Time will take care of the rest. About 19 or 20 they get their minds back... My oldest daughter is great to be around now, not so much as a teenager
  24. Ouch. I hope you stocked up on beer and toilet paper!
  25. My concern was the steel bar would bind up the cam towers because they wouldn't move at the same rate the rest of the head would or cause leaks
