  1. 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!
  2. I need some help!! Cody's under hood harness is not routed properly. Can some of you guys post up some pictures of the correct harness routing under the hood? I have done some looking online but can't find any good images to help... Thanks

  5. 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...
  6. What did you try?
  7. Nix240z has the rubber insulators. I have the little 4mm or what ever bolts but I don't have the clips
  8. 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.
  9. It's a shame it's so far away. Although some of these asking prices are getting silly....
  10. 9.57 is much better...
  11. 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
  12. I remember the news articles. Very sad...
  13. Oh, you could do two, they're six months apart! Just end your year in June and pretend they're in different years!
  14. Yes, that is my understanding. Sidewall height is represented by the percentage of the tread width
  15. This is how you get them to let you buy more...
  16. I like the wheels. Very correct for the year, and sort of different.
  17. If a critic is that close to the bars, it meant you just ran over them. In which case they will have bigger worries...
  18. 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"!!!
  19. @jalexquijano Are you touching the throttle when trying to start it cold with the choke on? One of your previous post suggested this...
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. My apologies. That was 4oz of Wintergreen oil in a couple of gallons of water. I think the heat helps the rubber open up and absorb it. I didn't want to use a solvent like xylene or alcohol as that seemed counter productive...
  23. Here is a short video of the plater
  24. Ok, so today I ventured out in a new direction. A container of wintergreen oil. About 4 oz of oil in 3 gallons of oil. Ran it over a propane burner. It never really boiled sort of simmered things for about 45 minutes. I started with a gas cap seal. It was really hard when I started... This is it when it came out So then I stepped up to a filler neck. These are really hard. I suspect the gas fumes make the rubber hard. These were too hard to get back into the chassis So simmer for about 45 minutes. Had to turn it over because it was too tall for the pot. Results were fabulous!!!! Indulgences for the videos. It's my first try at "You tube"
