  1. $105 is a great rate. Thanks Steve. That's better than driving back to Alabama every night. Most likely "sleepy".
  2. Can I use one of those by myself, no one needed to push the pedals down? Thanks Bob. Happy Thanksgiving.
  3. That's what I need! Thanks for posting, I'd never heard of that. Harbor Freight has one too, $33.
  4. Tag receipts and proof of insurance for the last few years is what the Canadian buyer needed from me, FWIW
  5. The too short tip fix will help dramatically IMO. The air flow off the hatch isn't pulling it away like it should.
  6. Those are still available from nissan dealers. I'll post the part numbers in the morning. Takes just a few days to get them. Waaaay better than the foam two sided tape ones you get with aftermarket lights.
  7. Glad you're here. You'll find some very welcoming and knowledgeable folks on this forum for sure. Post up some pictures when you can and if it hasn't been cranked in awhile google "waking the sleeping beast classiczcars.com". Good read. Cliff
  8. You guys are right. Those cars were not much of a memory for me.
  9. I'm sorry but I disagree. If I lived in a colder climate, maybe but my carbs are cool to the touch after a good drive since I plugged those coolant lines. Gas mileage in my situation is I must drive the car to keep the fuel from losing octane. It's my favorite chore I have, driving my Zs to burn the flat gas. Life is tough at my house.
  10. My cables had slipped over a year or so. Once I got those adjusted it fired right up. If I remember right 2" down with choke, 1 1/4" without. Measured from the clamp down on the cable to the bottom of the wires. That's my goofy arse measurements. Good luck Mark, hope you get it figured out.
  11. Great picture! thank you. Is that a ZX above the front bumper, fan section? That's what I liked about Road Atlanta, you could park so close the the track. I'd drive my truck, back up against the guardrail and sit in a lounge chair in the bed of the truck. Then Barbers track opened right down the road from my residence.
  12. I have one that has all the horizontal housing cut out. With a Nissan metal filter it looks like a good idea. I can't imagine that much more air flow for my road car so I run the OEM with the summet/winter flap. I'll post a picture or two in the a.m when I'm using my laptop.
  13. I took an air gun off my compressor @120 psi and blew the loose stuff off. Then went over it with spray undercoat from local auto parts chain. Someday I'd like to do a truck bed liner but that's waaaay away.
  14. Hell yeah! I might see how light he can get my 225mm. Save me some dough ray me. My 225mm aluminum on the 240's like 10 lbs. Tilton or tifton I can't ever remember. Got it for free with a car I bought and resold for what I paid but I kept the e31 head, f54 block ..30 over but dished pistons. Triple 40s and some other stuff. The guy was going by datsungarage.com to the tee. Got married and it was in my garage soon afterwards. Imagine that?!?
  15. I'm missing a 10mm open/boxed end wrench. I'll check under the cap tomorrow.
  16. Do you run an aluminum flywheel Steve? I think that is my favorite thing so far. I want one for my 280 now. They add the getty up in "getty up and go".
  17. Like bench bleeding a master cylinder. You can use a clothes pin to hold the hose into the reservoir.
  18. Cool car until the pop up wanted my email address to enter some stupid $^!#. $50K you'd think this would look as good as the rest???
  19. I learned the opposite on my 325is. Syringe with a long tube down the slaves master pulling out the bubbles until it was solid fluid. Did it standing up! Another trick is getting something the right length and push the pedal down then prop whatever on the front of the driver's seat to hold it down. I have a claw hammer that works good but I have to move the seat forward. You can also prop something on the bottom of the dash. Buy speed bleeders too, they're great IMHO.
  20. Yeah mine was okay too but after the fuel tank rehab I went all new when possible. Don't like going back, cars, girls, jobs.
  21. I have a bigger one right off the compressor but the one that helped me the most goes before the gun. Bought it Lowes and has a valve core I press to release the water. Made painting, sandblasting so much better.
  22. That's crazy isn't it? I bought one from Nissan for my '72 and it was like $40? I think. '77 NLA.
  23. siteunseen replied to Mike's topic in Open Chit Chat
    I've bought "take offs" from local tire shops. My Dad only buys Goodyear tires, built them for 40 years, so when he buys a car that doesn't have Goodyear tires he goes and gets them installed. The tire shop keeps the brand new take offs and sales them for cheap. Just an fyi that may be worth a phone call. Cliff
  24. That would optimal I guess, hard to do at home though. The machine shop I use just has a crank balancer that sits on a table. If you could hang the crank from the ends with the rods and cups that might work. That's some Nascar money right there.
  25. When I first heard them Brian Johnson was the lead singer, Back in Black album. Then I found out about Bon, it was like younger guys listening to Sammy Hagar then hearing David Lee. Both are good but the original is best, kinda like our cars.
