  1. Sounds like something that would be best to come out of Oregon with a jar of jelly.
  2. They're not a shiny as I remember mine being. How long since the car has been run? Nissan used chrome moly from the factory so it should be slick and more shiny in my opinion. Take your thumbnail and go up down all the holes and see if you find any scractes, gouges. Your fingernails shouldn't get caught on anything. You can get some rags and lacquer thinner and clean those holes of the carbon. Be sure and take the oil pan off or drain it for sure before cleaning. This pic looks odd, the carbon build up on that one side. The scraper ring should keep them clean. I'm guessing that engine hasn't been run lately ?????
  3. Moly faced rings get the smooth hone. Iron gets the cross hatch from what I remember. Agree with the compression test first though but it sounds like you've pulled the head already.
  4. I used to use a Sharpie and write the contents on the Ziploc baggie. That wears off fairly easy so write the contents on a small piece of paper and drop it inside the bag. Made my rebuild easier to put back together when the time came. Nice looking early '72. Glad you're here on the best forum. Cliff
  5. Everything else is just an acquaintance.
  6. I'm a forum princess and should be treated that way.
  7. Or...I could title it in Alabama with a bill of sale written on a Burger King bag, pre 1975 no title required just a bill of sale. There's a lot of stolen Northern cars down here still. My Dad said it was rampant in the '70s thru early '80s. My '72 was tiltled with a hand written bill of sale on back of a packing slip. Carried that to the Courthouse and paid $20? then got an Alabama title in my name in a couple of weeks.
  8. Well that's convenient as hell! I'm only finding Amsoil though, no Red line.

    There's a lot of fakes out there too.

    @Av8ferg did you grab those at that junkyard you showed us?
  11. It matches pretty close to @five&dime 300ZX build.
  12. Mines a tail of caution as to how bad they can get with just rotten gas after 10 plus years of sitting in a barn. It cleaned up after reading and looking at great phots on Blue's Tech Tips.
  13. Does this look close to safari gold to anybody else? It's the closest I found at the paint store. Going to paint my front door on the house with this in a satin finish. Thanks for any opinions.

    I bought my 69,xxx booster from amazon.com and only had to paint it black. Works great on my early '72.
  15. Can't speak for grannyknot but I foam brushed on some SEM white over the rear driver's side panel where the antenna goes and it turned out great.
  16. I can't see the coolant sensor plug, green if I remember right? I'm not wearing my "readers" though.
  17. Hey there @240260280 !!! Happy Thanksgiving if I don't see you before. You are a Pilgrim. I always think about you turkey. Context for the newer crowd. Mr Pilgrim got me hooked on 240s. He helped me get my '77 running perfect then started me on the heavy dope of the 240Z. I'm forever greatful too.
  18. Those backside clips are available at Lowe's in their Hillman drawer isle. I did the vaseline on my horn pad too. Another good tip thanks to @psdenno is a silver Sharpie for all the silver around the radio and console. I bought mine at Hobby Lobby fyi.
  19. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic08j08/40-3633 Or SEM interior paint https://www.google.com/search?q=sem+interior+paint&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&ei=R9mKYYO9GcuSwbkPi4CZsAU&oq=sem+interpaint+products&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAEYATIFCAAQzQIyBQgAEM0COgQIABBHOgQIABANOgYIABANEB46BQgAEIYDUPQOWOUgYM0-aABwAXgAgAHLAYgBtgaSAQUwLjQuMZgBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp
  20. You've most likely seen this before Mr Zkars but for the later guys I thought I'd post them again. It's not rust as it wouldn't stick to a magnet just 20 year old gas that lost it's octane.
  21. No more copper BP6ES plugs from what I'm seeing. Nickel instead of copper.
  22. Read post 12. I think I went .45 or .44 in the end. Oh yeah, bp6 in both my Zs. Copper tips.
  23. I agree. I get new ideas on this forum everyday.
  24. Here's a good read on cooling the air with a 90s Honda condenser. Post #5.
  25. I guess you guys are on LOW speed, right? I'd hate to read about "a new way of burning down my shop".
