This is for you, not your car.🙂 Something I figured out after getting older and working on these cars. You can help your back when doing all that tedious engine bay stuff by simply running it up on a set of ramps or raising it up and using jack-stands to get the motor up so you're not bending over all day. Another thing I had learn the hard way was resting my elbows on the fenders would cause dents I ended popping out with a suction cup from HarborFreight. Cover the fenders with anything like towels or paint drop cloths using magnetic bowls that hold all the fasteners. I'm about to adjust the valves on mine. I use a set of Rhino ramps to get my lowered 240 up to, looks like about 38". Just a courtesy bit of advice you probably figured out way before I did and it really helps. Have fun!

How long since a new fuel filter up front on the passenger's side? Sounds awful familiar of a clogged up tank. You can run a hose before the pump to a gas can to bypass the tank as an easy test

Well you don't know me as a music snob, just a greasy guy from Alabama, but you need to listen to that album. I'm going out on limb without google.com but that's the last one? P.s When I was young you could flip the needle over for a new one.

This is probably my favorite Steely Dan from the only CD I have of theirs. They were a tight playing group on that disc.

Never mind! Coffee kicked in. 3 outer and only 2 inner shims. I read back through that and this doesn't make sense. Diseazed do you know how many valve spring washers Eiji uses? I don't know him like you do and kinda scared to call and ask a bunch of questions until I am actually ready to do mine. I know he's a busy man. Because .080" longer valves are now in the head the springs must be shimmed up to from the bottom to retain the same spring tension. The washers are hardened steel and are there to prevent galling of the aluminum head...don't get them from the hardware store. The stock head came with only one shim under each per spring is exactly .040" in thickness. So just add 2 more under each outer spring (total fo three) and you can achieve the desired increase of .080". Washers used to be available at MSA and were inexpensive. The single stock washer under the inner spring is also .040" thick. But you can only add a total of 2 washers under the valve seal instead of 3, as it won't let the valve seal lock-ring seat properly. The inner spring is more of a "helper" spring and won't be adversely affected, I've had no problems using only 2 washers here and I rev my engine to 7,300.

Have you read datsungarage p79 modification? You shave 80 off, shim cam towers 80 higher and use the valves from the N head. https://datsunzgarage.us/p79/

What do you think @Mark Maras , Raisin Bran or Chex?

They look better wet.😁 Mine has water allergies though. Now for some windshield time.

Wow, road worn! That t-shirt made it back to Tennessee and even looks better than it did in Memphis. Thanks for the pictures, have fun. You just got me good...

Changed out fuel filters from 2015 when I did all the work on my 240. Anyone that may be on the fence about Red-Kote fuel tank liner, done the right way it's fantastic from what these filters show or don't show. Heres the G2 right out of the tank. It looked great besides being 10 years old. Fuel came out clear to as I drained out about a gallon before my dumbasss realized the hose on the tank had to be clamped off. Lawnmower gas.😊 I haven't fooled with mine since a knee surgery sidelined me but after @Captain Obvious's heroic adventure got me fired up enough to at least do something. If that beer guzzling rascal can do what he did, ain't nobody got an excuse.😂

I thought about that last night but it was too late. I didn't want to worry him with the heater core leaking.

Thank goodness for U-Haul and credit cards. At worst you rent a truck and trailer. I drove a "crotch rocket" to the French Quarter one time and there was no way in hell I was riding it back home. Got the smallest van and loaded that bike up. 😄

$36,500 bought it. Decent price for a non original paint and upholstery someone bought a few years ago and thought they were going to make big profit on the crazy prices they were bringing. That dead cat didn't bounce but it did move a little. 😄

I have a 280 radiator in mine with a full ZX shroud. Works great except it sits lower but the crossmember sits just as low. Took the drain valve off and put a bolt in. So far so good and that was around 2015. Bought it at Advance for $139 IIRC? What is that, coffee beans and a racoon's condom?

Here's the wiring for the E12-80 and the TachMatch's for 240s. Mine works great with Blue's Tech Tip ZX swap so I've got no issues in this. Blue's ZX swap... TachMatch's diagram. You'll have to open in another window. I couldn't figure out a way to copy/paste for side by comparison. 240ZTachMatchWiring.pdf

Something monkey going on here, ebay made a mistake? They're $56 on one link and $589 on another??? https://ebay.us/m/p2pa92 https://ebay.us/m/DMgyJZ

Don't forget about the bronze valve seats that came OE in the E31. They're not good with the gas we use now but you can have them updated to steel for not much money if you're not currently running the head.

Not the shipping tie downs but the ones that attach to frame maybe? Googled showed some similar when I searched... https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+tie+down+points&sca_esv=06dd4c047f376356&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1121US1121&udm=2&biw=1229&bih=556&ei=F8a0aJ7AG4b-p84Pzf-V8Qc&ved=0ahUKEwjep42dhraPAxUG_8kDHc1_JX4Q4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq=240z+tie+down+points&gs_lp=EgNpbWciFDI0MHogdGllIGRvd24gcG9pbnRzSP4gUKwHWIYccAF4AJABAJgBS6AB5QOqAQE3uAEDyAEA-AEBmAICoAJLwgIGEAAYCBgemAMAiAYBkgcBMqAH-QKyBwExuAdJwgcDMC4yyAcC&sclient=img

A good one. And you can't even here the Beatles.

Would calipers not work?

My Dad would be amazed at what you do. Similar in getting things done no matter what. After talking with me he always ended with "no excuses"

My Dad would tell you after all the hard work you've done now it's time to "skin 'er back and let the loose ends drag". His way of saying you're ready for this.🍻
