That is my reasoning for hole #3 on the cam spocket.

Gave mine with the last Z I sold. No part number, sorry.

There's some Ford inner fender that's close, a littile too large but they'll work. Ebay has 50 for about $10 or so? @gwri8 @SteveJ turned me onto them.

Panty hose and a vacuum. That sounds like a young mans first girlfriend.

If he goes off the reservation and buys a rotisserie the "jig" is up, sideways and upside down.

Good read for your layovers. I read it a couple of times and used a highlighter on what I thought were important details, and they were. He doesn't get all technical and keeps it simple. I think he's from the South. Look at the hair do on the guy vatting the block.

6 penny finish nails for me. Then when I buttoned it up for the last time I bought those high dollar Nissan rivets. A lot of trial fitting was done and removed using those nails. Or #4? It's been awhile.

Still available from Nissan. The smaller ones behind the tag also.

Can hardly wait to see more of this!

That's a two way street in my experiences. Yard sales, I get a phone call. "I've found a fantastic deal, can you bring your truck?"

Those fuel level sending units on 240s are a pita to get wired back up. Nail head connectors is what I've always heard them called. When you do get them back on slather them with liquid electrical tape. If you ruin the OE ones you can use female spade wire connectors.

I'd love to build a framed up motor holder with a lawnmower gas tank and radiator to run motors out of the cars. That would be easier for the carbed motors than efi.

He said his parents had a barn...? I have an 8x12 storage building from floor to ceiling packed with all things Z related. It does have a spare refrigerator with all my electical stuff crammed in to keep the humidity/moisture out. Learned that from a welder. You can "pay it forward" & trade stuff over the years. You realize this is more than a hobby right? You've joined a community now Sir.

Welding wire works good to run through the lines and vents to make sure they aren't obstructed. Follow up with a good compressed air blow job. 8^)

Yes the heater core valve and hoses may have been the biggest pain for my 240. It took a lot of "chemicals" for me personally. If i do it again the passenger's seat will be taken out for sure.

That's the p79, no? It's got an oiler cam already. You need the to keep the laughing one your garage. it says!

If you can smell that chemically smell of the tank liner wait until you can not. That's when it's cured and ready for fuel.

That's Red-Kote tank liner. I coated both mine with it and it works great, one in 2011 the next 2015. I wouldn't waste time or money on the outside of your's, it looks good to me. Get your evap hoses replaced and let it go. To have a visual put a glass fuel filter before the fuel pump.

They should use a different sticker. No empty spaces would be better to me. But i bet his happened during shipping. Did you find the broken peices Mark?

I like the looks of that one too. The sticker on the valve cover makes me think it's a really stock motor. You could have that p79 shaved a little to bring up the CR. After reading on here for years those seem to be the head people want. I gave one away a couple of yesrs ago but it was to a nice guy so no regrets. I know where a couple more are.

The glaring, it wasn't inspected by the Quality Assurance Inspector. There's your problem.

I had to do $37 for 12 months, $444 total but I'm not paying any shipping charges. 10% interest is super low.

I'd bet the n47 has an oiler cam too. The 75 76 n42 had spray bars only then they started the oiler cam. Kinda of rare from the reading i did in 2011. I have an n42 on mine. They have square exhaust ports with no liners the round ones do. People didn't like them at first but i think that's changed now. Diseazed has a great motor he puts in his Zs with p79 which has the liners. You should read his build specs. That datsungarage page tells how to do it or google "diseazed engine classiczcars.com". He runs carbs though so i kinda wonder how well efi will work with a high compression motor. I've read stock efi doesn't like agressive cams and would be that crappy running you've spoken of earlier. Lot of talking on this. We have the time and the info to get you straight for not to much money. Looking forward to your build!

Ferg does your n47 have a spray bar and an oiler cam? My 9/76 build date did. You want a turbo oil pump either way i think. The nissan turbo head bolts too. I'm getting the horse ahead of the cart now so I'll quit. Get you a notebook and start making your to do list then parts needed. I ended up enjoying working on mine rather than driving them. Keeps me busy and the mileage down.

Probably said this before but the best money i spent was Tom Monroe's "how to rebuild datsun/nissan L motors". $20 from Amazon. Bought parts i knew i would need every chance i could. retailmenot.com had 30% coupon codes for Advance Auto. Buy online and pick up in store, no shipping. Starter, alternator, chemicals like aviation gasket sealant and anti seize. Assembly lube etc. and a felpro gasket set. I reused my bolts but now you can buy stainless whole car kit from zcardepot.
