  1. I have a 5 speed out of a '79 ZX 2+2 which is the wide B. Original R180 from '72 is 3.364. The speedo gear was in the original 4 speed and is a yellowish color if I remember right, maybe dirty white? I run 15" 205/55 tires. My speedometer was compared to a couple of friend's newer cars and a truck running beside me on the interstate. 70 75 and 80 were the same as we compared talking on our phones. I didn't want to get a speeding ticket and argue with excuses about my drivetrain.
  2. I can't figure out why the plywood clips are so different on the backside vs front. Is that by design or just not nailed down yet? Looks great, robust like a storm shelter too. #26 deserves it.
  3. I like my 180 and wide 5speed combo. I did take the speedo pinion out of the oe 4speed and put it in the 5speed. 2,200rpm is between 75 and 80mph on the interstates. Red light to red light is quick too but I do have a lightweight flywheel. Around town 3rd gear is good in the 45mph range. I rarely go to fifth unless I'm on the highways. 4th is perfect. My $.02. I'm sure you'll hear more opinions. Cliff

    Shocking unless there's a malaria outbreak. I read that newest one, rem?????, was created in good ole Alabama. Well actually Alabama, Tennessee and North Carolina all had a part but the main guy works at UAB.
  5. Hopefully he'll respond here. Currently out of stock but that's exactly what I need and for a fair price. Thank you!
  6. Horn pad mount, the hard plastic on the backside of the black pad. I have mine jimmy rigged but it still falls off. MSA sales the pad itself but not the locking ring. From https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic08d18/40-3140 DescriptionThis is the genuine, original equipment (OEM) replacement horn pad. The outer ring and word "Datsun" are chrome and the background is satin black. This is the pad only and does not include the plastic ring that holds the pad in place.
  7. PPG auto paint suppliers can still make it from a post I read the other day. Here's the colors from zhome.org. Probably 112? Click on the photo. http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html
  8. My 9/76 built '77 has the early switch n47 head. Oiler cam and spray bar. I would put a turbo oil pump on if yours has both.
  9. A lot of folks on here use Exedy 6009 clutch kit. I have one on both cars and really like them. One's on top of a 10lb aluminum flywheel, easy operating clutch in my opinion. $100 at amazon.com. Thanks again @LeonV
  10. My '77 has something very similar and it is the alarm switch for the hatch. There's one under the hood and both doors.
  11. Hard to tell except this one and to me it looks close. Those float syncs look nice and with them you will get the proper height.
  12. What a good idea! Works great on my Camry.
  13. This was just stupid people. Old timey veterinarian's office in Alabama. Who'd of thunk I was actually the stupidest in there. I should have done it over the phone and had them bring it out. Lesson learned. Thanks for letting me vent here Zed Head.
  14. Well it finally happened to me too! I had to go to my Mom's veterinarian to get flea meds for her animals. Signs everywhere, Xs taped on the floor every 6 feet. The whole push. But damn idiots where packed in there like sardines in a can. After 5 minutes my smart arse passive aggressive personality took over and I said really loud, "are these seeing eye dogs? Can you people not read? Please stay away from me!" One girl muttered "no joke, what are y'all thinking?" COVIDIOTS

    I have thousands of these if you think they would work. Metal wall stud screws.

    I remember wearing these down to the colored layers. Ew...now I remember my older sister throwing them at me like a frisbee to the head.

    And these for me. White tennis shoes. My Grandad put that sponge tipped shoe polish all over mine one time. Looked terrible.
  18. Looking forward to more post! When I first heard "Instagram" I thought it was some new drug. So yeah post here too when you can. Looks like you have a 280? Like to see that one too. Cliff
  19. Me too. My favorite actually.Their paint doesn't look that bad to me, probably clean up? Mine was similar but after about 5 washes with different types Turtle Wax it cleaned up the original paint to the signature picture on the left. Then after the motor rebuild was done I had it cut and buffed. The right picture.

    And for blue cars...
  21. Some do. Most match the body from all I've seen. Mine is black on #918 orange as is the lower rocker stripes. Looks good to me and was dealer installed "sport package", period correct I guess. Look through these. https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+rear+spoiler+color+classiczcars.com&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&prmd=svni&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjClNTmqOvoAhVvhOAKHQyXARsQ_AUoBHoECAwQBA&biw=569&bih=248
