MIRROR FINISH ON PISTON WALLS
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 ?????

MIRROR FINISH ON PISTON WALLS
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.

New member needing some opinions
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

Z's on BAT and other places collection
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.

Filling the differential & transmission
Well that's convenient as hell! I'm only finding Amsoil though, no Red line.

Getting the 73 Back on the Road
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.

Modern formula for safari gold
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.

Brake Booster 6” kit
I bought my 69,xxx booster from amazon.com and only had to paint it black. Works great on my early '72.

What are people doing to restore/replace white interior components?
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.

Putting in a replacement L-28
I can't see the coolant sensor plug, green if I remember right? I'm not wearing my "readers" though.

Fuel Line Blockage - New Cleaning method
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.

240 hood badge- A suggestion
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.

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.

I guess you guys are on LOW speed, right? I'd hate to read about "a new way of burning down my shop".
