Are these OEM lock pulls? Where to purchase?
Yes, that's what mine look like. Hope that helps.

After buying many parts I drove my 240 to show my parts guy. He was impressed even though it's not too impressive to me after seeing all the top shelf cars on here. Never the less I get a discount when I say "no, not 240sx".

Mine are a "T" shape plastic. More like a bugle I guess? They are OE too.

Did I miss something?
Those dome lights are available at dealerships for like $10. Good looking car though but that's house money down here. Small house but better than a mobile home.

Kind of a thud at the end there. Filet Mignon, Ribeye, T-bone and then Sirloin.

I have many times! As long as I do the research and give him the part number he's happy to do it. Usually I get them the next day. He even made up an account for me so I'll get a discount, "Cliff's Auto". Nice guy that respects the work I've done to my Zs. I also carry him lunch on Saturdays when he's there by himself. I don't what will happen when he retires?

Idle doesn't decrease-sometimes surges-when shifting
I'm guessing he got it fixed? But I think the dark plugs are most likely the old ones from 4 turns down?

Yep, only Japanese car too. There was a tricked out BMW with a roll cage and a door number, they were doing autocross racing in Birmingham. My Dad said they left out in stages, maybe 50 to a 100 at a time? It lasted from 9am until at least 3pm through my area. They were very nice to me in my little Datsun, a lot of thumbs up and smiles. Car people through and through. ?

Fill it with nitrous oxide and I'd live in there, polishing between giggles and the choo choo train. 8^)

1972 Float Adjustment ...
Me too on the brass, they last longer. Jalex if you have upgraded to the E12-80 ZX dizzy they're a little bigger in size so don't forget that when ordering.

I jumped in and rode with this rolling car show for an hour south then turned around and came back home. A whole bunch of American Hot Rods, and me. There was a BMW in the mix too. 6,000 cars from all up and down the East Coast. People were all over the sides of the road waving and taking pictures. It was pretty cool. http://www.hotrod.com/events/power-tour/

I turn mine on first thing in the morning, my big dehumidifier, that's when it's the highest in my garage. Then I have a timer set to come on every four hours and run for an hour when it's really humid. The biggest help for me was to stuff towels on the top of my garage doors. That's where my outside entry was coming from, and my dogs flap door which I keep adjusted now so it hits and sticks to the magnetic strip on the bottom. I'm learning!

I bought a gun safe dehumidifier for the inside of my 240Z. Works very well. For some reason my 280 seals up a lot better and has never gotten the light moldy looking spots on the door cards. They are inside though but might be of use to your situation? Walmart, https://www.walmart.com/ip/Remington-Mini-Dehumidifier/15729968

Brake light bezel install time
That sounds about right to me. It's been a few years though so just a guess. Those rivets aren't cheap but I think you'll only need two of the smaller ones behind the tag and 6 of the bigger on top?

Brake light bezel install time
Not much at all from what I remember. Be careful putting the screws in the tag light housing, don't overtighten or they'll crack. It is two pieces that slide into each other. The finisher around the brake lights have clips at the bottom, be sure to remember and get those seated. The trim around that stuff is stainless so a light buff with some 0000 steel wool will clean them up nicely. Did you repaint while you have it off? Here's a good thread on a paint choice. Here's the Nissan p/n for the little rivets, right side of the picture. Good luck. P.S I think those bottom two p/ns are for the rubber seals around the lights and all that came from my local Nissan parts department, non stocking but overnight delivery to the dealer.

N42 Head rebuild
I'm pretty sure the Z valves are shorter in length than the ZXs. Seems like Diseazed uses early Z valves on his cut P79 head.My machinists used Dodge Hemi vale seats on my E31 when I went to the bigger valves. My expirences/memory only.

New Exhaust for my Early '71
That looks great! Glad you're happy with it, same thing I have and I love it. I think the muffler shop was able to tweak yours but I did mine myself and the only way I could get it to work was the offset hole to the rear. I honestly don't think it matters which way the flow is but there's some way smarter guys on here than me. Maybe they'll chime in.

Sorry guys.

That's how all those lethal fake pills are being made. Chinese pill presses. But Ivanka and her dad make big money there so nothing will change for the next few days.
