Did it have bolts in it you removed? If so it is either glued or stuck. I would vote for stuck. Some heat or warm water might help. I agree, proceed with caution!

I almost bought a 190SL they have have really increased in value since then!

So glad you bumped the CR some. I think that was a good decision!

I think it would be great if Steve would make a mold of it. I don't know if he would be willing to reproduce it but the mold would be a good start. @nix240z

When the time gets close. Some one will start a PM to share contact info. Makes it easier to meet up when we get there. If you need any thing, ground transport or something. Let someone know

You can buy straight lines at most auto parts stores and bend a whole new line. Just need one with the right ends on it

You need to keep the cooler lines. Why don't you fabricate some reshaped replacement lines?

See if you can source a factory harness that hasn't been "improved"! That is the path of least resistance if you're not a "sparky"! ?

That sounds just like body work! You have some serious "bumples" there in areas you don't normally see serious "bumples"!

I thought your compression numbers looked good, well below 10%...

Steve and I have talked about it. He doesn't want to produce parts that could have significant liability attached to them

I googled the part number off a diaphragm out of a booster. I found a source for them but they had a minimum order of like 1000. I don't think rebuilders are patching up booster parts. I believe booster rebuilders have sources for these parts that we don't have...

I bet that's a lot of fun! Super light and lots of horsepower...

I think you will find your booster is salvageable. It really doesn't look that heavily corroded. I would prefer to have a booster shop rebuild the unit, because of the less than stellar work that is often found in reman boosters and dealing with a local business. If you have them do it and they do a good job. Post them up for others to support them.

I may need some. I wont know until I hang some doors. Soon, hopefully...

Thanks, I may need need some parts at some point. the cars are really simple which is nice and there are a lot of reproduction parts available. I will check out the site

Me too! I have a baby blue 56' that is next on the list. My dad bought it new in Germany in 56. I learned to drive in it...

EFI too. Very clean looking

Oh!!! I love the bug!! What year? Close to 56'...

I found some online links for the Nissan FAST. Many of them are dead. Even the Nico site has removed all it manuals because of a letter from Nissan NA. Unfortunately I hadn't downloaded the entire 350z manual yet. I did some searching and found a similar year on another website. I recommend if you need any of these manuals, go ahead and search and download them before Nissan purges them all. I may continue to work on getting the Nissan software at some point, but I did find this site http://nissan4u.com/parts/350z/el_z33/2005_6/type_5/ that has pretty good diagrams, but they don't have all of them

Yeah, I hate that. I don't have a good answer for you. A little far for me to stare at it with you...

Thanks Mike

I would like to know where the 1/4" bust is. That would bug me something terrible...

If you use the techno suspension parts you will probably be ok. I would be worried there is not enough adjustment to get the alignment right with the factory parts if the cross member is 1/4" out of square with the car... That is provided I understood your description properly...

Thanks Steve. I will try some of that...
