No, sorry, I don't @nix240z Steve, post #5

I just contacted him the other day. He should still be an available source

So making patterns for tar mat today The Wurth material has a backer on it like this The top side looks like this I think you peel this face when you're done?? @Zup Do you remember how many boxes it took to do a car? I have one box and that seems like it might be just enough to do the tunnel. Also any recommendations on how you handled marking and cutting from multiple 8"x20" pieces? C

I agree with Steve but for $25-30 you can buy a complete fuel pressure kit on Amazon. Tee included...

I think I'm gonna have to do the same thing. Some of my panels are bad and I don't want to have half look new and half look old. I know https://resurrectedclassics.com/ show them also. A whole series one set is close to $1000

That sounds like the way the idle up was handled on some older cars in the day. When the compressor was energized it triggered a relay that actuated a solenoid that push on the throttle linkage enough to idle it up a couple 100 RPM's

I was looking at some of my spare quarter windows. I'm still not sure this wasn't painted black It scratches off, like a coating

@CanTechZ Mike, Do you have any recommendations on cutting tar mat? I believe the material I ordered is in sections. So I will have multiple panels to each pattern. C

Nicely done!

They do seem low but consistent. I would expect 150-175. Maybe 135 at a minimum Did you crank the engine until the pressures quit rising? Yes the throttle should be wide open... All 6 plugs should be out too! If the numbers are still low, you can add a little oil to each cylinder. If the numbers rise on the "wet" test then the rings are worn or damaged

I guess the reasons I would favor the R200: Nissan evidently found it to be a good idea to go to the larger ring gear. (wear?, strength?) Obviously it should be stouter, but I don't really thrash my cars like that anymore. My #1 reason would be there seem to be a lot more ratios available in the R200. Especially if you go to an R200 out of a more modern car in a hybrid z type manner. Potentially R200 ring and pinions might be available also if you had a really precise ratio need...

What's driving the return to R180? Most people want to go the other way...

More info in an older thread

So I got the headliner trim in Gonna have to pick up the pace to be ready for Zcon 2024 Momma is starting to crack the whip

I tried to get some better pictures of the interior roof trim I will work on this fold a little more. I glued the passenger side and it looks a little better. I'm sure I can make this detail right with a little more fiddling

So measured the Exedy pressure plate The Luk pressure plate was 44.3 mm The Exedy 06030 is 1.927" or 48.95 mm With the new collar and bearing it's 92.4 mm to the ears

I agree, it should be a set and forget item but it is nice to have for roadside diagnosis or just making sure the pump and FPR are good

Bear in mind R-12 has gotten very expensive lately and might change your monetary calculations. Check cost and availability before choosing a direction

That would be great!! C

I think the $66k is with the buyer's premium included

Looks like $66k
