Which Header?
MSA ceramic header, ports matched to the head. All day long. The heat reduction is unbelievable. And it sounds great. Lug it and it's quiet. Turn more rpms it will get louder for sure but it's a fantastic sound. I have the 2.5" full exhaust from MSA also on both of my Zs. Best bang for the bucks IMO. I will say my 2.8 needed a $20 resonator installed but my 2.4 sounds wonderful without the resonator. I have not read info on the Arizona product but the Pacesetter, like Zed Head says, does not have the correct flange thickness.

Clutch Max clutches!
I read all your post, you're no half arse I know. But! I must say this as I learned the hard way. Have your throwout bearing pressed on at a machine shop properly. I did my first one myself with the old bearing and a 2lb hammer, it has a slight spinning noise out of gear. The 2nd one I paid $10 and it makes absolutely NO noise out of gear. Just an FYI. Cliff

Siphoning Gas
Use clear hose. You see it before it gets in your mouth. We had a fuel tank on a trailer for boat gas we could take to a gas station and fill up. Much cheaper than buying it on the river.

Clutch Max clutches!
I've been happy with Exedys from amazon.com. Have them in my two Zs. $100 back a few years ago. 6009 is the number I remember.

front end clunk/steering
Use your video device as your helper. Those wheel bearings were a hard torque to figuring out as I recall. There was something in the fsm I believe. Tighten to a certain place then back off? Good luck, it would be nice if the battery was loose like Zed Head said.

Too cheap, I agree with that. It'll slip with your motor I'd bet.

front end clunk/steering
What about the calipers and pads? Are they tight? Hot out and bored, please excuse my redundancy.

front end clunk/steering
Have you tried unloading that wheel/tire and checking for unusual movement? Could be a bad bearing or race? Does the steering wheel shake while driving? Braking?

72 240Z question and mechanic in North Dallas needed
How long since a fluid and filter change? That seems to help once the filer clogs and won't allow flow. Start with the simple/cheap stuff.

ISO 280Z damper bracket
Im helping out a fellow member who's in need of a fuel damper bracket that mounts above the pump. I've searched from W to the last W.com and haven't had any luck. If anyone has a 280 parts car maybe you could help us out? It would be very much appreciated. Here's what he needs... Thank you for any replies. Cliff

Datsun 280Z Interior Trim Question
Here's the single on a '71. Maybe the single is the early cars and the double is the later 240s. That's my guess. https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/news/2001/time-warp-datsun-240z-sells-for-au463000

HELP!!! S/U wont idle
It's been a long while since I've read this but it seems like the fuel pressure was a main link in the switch over. Maybe the fuel tank vents too? Anyway here's the thread from an old friend I've bookmarked for my "one day soon" SU swap over on my '77.
