That's what I use but with screws. A hook or some kind of claw would work on Ferg's if he could do the "slide hammer time".

I ruined an f54 trying to get that rear plug out. Drilled a small hole in it to thread a screw in to pull on with some vise grips. It's so close to #6 I drilled through the soft plug and before I could stop I'd drilled all the way into the bore. Stupid, stupid, stupid or maybe 1beer, 2 beers, 10 beers?

How far will your emergency brake lever come up? If it stands up to 12 o'clock your shoes are usually worn out. New shoes will go to about 10 o'clock in my experience with these cars. For what that's worth!

They do serve as a high pressure "path of less resistance". I've read on here where someone romped on their Z before the thermostat opened and one blew out. I've seen one that was pushed out of a water filled frozen block on an old pickup of my Dad's. They're the duct tape of the liquid cooled motor. Started out as one thing but ended up useful as others.

You're right about no info online. I got my "how to rebuild" book out this morning and here's what I went by... I rembered them having a metal wire like strip embedded in the rubber I assume for some rigidity to push them down? I had to nip that off to get the cap to sit down flush.

Know kidding! I have a short attention and seat span.

I don't remember my Nissan's having the "nails" but Felpro definitely had them. There's about 3 ridges on one side of the Nissan side seal. Google to be sure but I think those go towards the crank. The flat side faces outward. Please double check though, it's been a few years.

No contact on the tight side? Fubar is right! Good luck.

Sounds too good, right? We know better. Craigslist has turned to scam central by the vultures not the original sellers.

He hasn't taken it down yet. @Av8ferg there's your car. Pay the man, quick before they run the price up on you.

I adjusted mine back to working proper. Seems like ccw brought the rpms down? But I am most likely 180 off.

I would. Get the rear cap half way down and slide the side seals in. That's the easiest way I know of thanks to @Diseazd Buy Nissans too. I've got the p/n in a file at home I could give you tomorrow. $13 for the rear main but I can't rember the side seal price.

Sounds like my Dad's rules! Turn that hot water off! I know what you're doing. Deburring...

I was thinking about Anna Nichole and two black eyes. God bless her her tig ole bitties. RIP

A boobie joke!

The white M car has Brian Jessel dealership sticker on the trunk lid. Must be part of their pre-owned program?

Oil swinger.

N42 has square too. Big valves also.

We say "treat it like it's yours" Cars, boats, houses, whatever you need except the girl.

Anxious to see what the OE fuel pressure regulator does. My set up is very similar to your's except for that. I've only read bad on the adjustable ones like the one your car. Maybe this will get you where you can pass smog check?

Thanks Jeff! I have a "volume knob" fix on my CTS. Louder=more fuel. I can flood it out. 2 things to do this winter when it's too cold out. Oh wait. I forgot about the 99 other things I punted on this summer when it was too hot. I'm getting old.

Google "blues tech tips". I think it's under "electrical". Here it is... http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html Or maybe this? http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/maxifuse.htm

Good to know! Thank you. I've got an N42 combo, head and block with dished pistons and some F54 flat top pistons I could put in the N42 block. I was worried about running pump gas but after watching what you did I'm not too worried about swapping out the pistons. I have some later 240 rods I'd like to use. I've read they do something better than the L28s?

I apologize for being lazy but are using the stock cam and EFI on your car? I'm wanting to pep up my 280 now after reading all you guys build threads. I've got the stuff and the car runs great but I'm bored...

I rechecked mine after the initial "run in", about 150 miles of varying speeds to set the rings then again at 500 miles. Haven't touched them sense. I really need to do that soon too. Glad it all came together for you. Congratulations.
