Team 24oz back in the hunt in Targa Tasmania 2018
Ran down a GTR, that's good. He is "getting it" through a lot of those areas. No room for mistakes there...

Meet Looey - 73 Fairlady Z
Before you start stripping flares be sure you are prepared for what you might find. The rear quarters may have been cut up. If they have, it can be put back original, it's just a lot more work. I love the "Tokyo Nissan" sticker on the back!

Fuel Spill Stain Won’t Come Off
A good buffing compound would be my first choice but it sounds like you may have already tried that. If buffing compound won't do it I don't know what will...

81 280z part out
It may not seem like it but he is trying to help you, like he does most people. Did you bother to notice his posts count? 9,000+ if you filled in the blanks like he asked it might help things move along. Also if you start too high many people right it off as being unreasonably high...best of luck.

You might want to tinker with one of the datsun engine calculators. Your ratio is pretty low but I don't know what your local fuel is like. I know alot of guys build closer to 10:1 with the right cam

Yes, that is my understanding. Sidewall height is represented by the percentage of the tread width

I like the wheels. Very correct for the year, and sort of different.

8k!, my butt. The gas filler looks like it's about ready to fall out of the quarter. Must be a lot more of that that isn't shown in the pictures. "Crack heads"!!!

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
I had sort of similar thoughts. I didn't think it would have been possible to get that filler neck back in the car as hard as it was. So I figured even if it wasn't permanent it would be short term useful.. I did 2 filler necks so the extra one I have can be monitored for how long the improvements last.

Just be careful wintergreen oil is toxic. I found this on WebMD. I didn't use gloves but I did try to stay out of the steam. After I removed the parts I washed them with soap and water. Wintergreen is safe in the amounts found in foods, and seems safe for most adults when used as a medicine. The oil is UNSAFE to take by mouth. Taking wintergreen oil or large amounts of wintergreen leaf can cause ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, stomach pain, and confusion. When applied directly to the skin, wintergreen oil can cause skin irritation. Special Precautions & Warnings: Children: Wintergreen leaf and oil can be poisonous for children. Taking 4-10 mL of wintergreen oil by mouth can be deadly. Don’t even use wintergreen oil on the skin of children less than 2 years old. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Wintergreen is safe in amounts found in food, but there's not enough information to know if it's safe in the larger amounts that are used as medicine. Don’t take it by mouth or put it on your skin, if you are pregnant. If you are breast-feeding, don’t take wintergreen by mouth or put it on your skin. Wintergreen products might be toxic to nursing infants. Stomach and intestinal inflammation: Taking wintergreen by mouth might make these conditions worse. Salicylate or aspirinallergy, asthma, or nasal polyps: Wintergreen might cause an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to aspirin or other salicylate compounds, or have asthma or nasal polyps. Use wintergreen with caution if you have one of these conditions.
