Huge fan of Mr @CanTechZ His advice has always been spot on, saving me a lot of time and....MONEY. Thank you Sir!

I'm going to start cleaning up some of the stuff I have. Use these pictures and retire. 😁

I've got a storage building full!

Here's a way to clean your old tank if you ever decide to. 🤣🤣😁

I don't know if you've seen this, hadn't read the whole thread, but you should see the little mark in or close by the notch in the sprocket.

I hate the modern search engine! Useless! Shows you it thinks you want instead of what you asked for...

There is a thread on the forum, not an ancient thread, that shows how to replace the window sweeps on the the chrome door trim. I was going to reread it to see how he dealt with some issues I'm having but I can't find it now :(

Can somebody help? Maybe the librarian?

Here's what I came up with. Sorry to be late Charles.

@URGELIS double spit!

Looks like something off "truth social". 🤣🤣🤣

He must have read the book.

Keep those Alabama plates as long as you can, people won't get near it. 🤣

Yep…..Had to make a space for my new toy…..I always thought the 1995 911 was the most beautiful Porsche of all times.

Tom Williams car, or an individual? It's a beauty for sure!

I'd still choose the NSX. 😁

Could you dumb that down for me please? I hate not being able to go to the last post like we could do a month or 2 ago. Maybe @Mike knows the secret? I haven't been able to figure it out and believe you/me I've tried!

Not so much trained but he does what he wants and gets what he wants I guess by just paying attention. He's the reason I get out of bed, his name is Rolex. I know what he wants and he knows what I'm about to do and runs and hides under the bed. Hates baths and toenail trims, cleaning his big ears are a weekly fight too. But I can't imagine my life without a good dog. So yeah I guess he is trained but I didn't do it, he did.

Hi Site…..When installing new pistons and rings in an expensive rebuild, I want to feel confident that when I squeeze those pistons in the bores, they are perfect. The ITM pistons are awesome. When installing rings, I have found that the Total Seals oil rings mate up so easy that I can sleep at night shoving the pistons into the bores…….just me. I’m sure that ITM oil rings and Hastings will work, but I just never felt like I had them installed correctly….at least not in my mind. An extra $200.00 for top quality rings always seemed worth the investment…..whatcha think? BTW How’s your dog?

Regards

Guy

I've used Hastings twice and didn't run into any problems.

My dog has started eating those gummies all the kids are raving about. Now he just lays around and poots and then laughs about it.

We have some AI on here already, "why won't my car run as I think it should" 10 years going on 20.

Am I dreaming or do I remember correctly that someone somewhere had created a plug-in pigtail that 'converted' our US based wiring to the JDM for use with the JDM lens? The purpose of the pigtail is to prevent from having to cut into the factory wire harness.

This maybe?

I bought mine from Futofab.com and they were plug-up and go. No changes on my end.

It's a small car! I will get some nose to nose pictures with my 240. That dealership is only a mile from here.

Here's my offer of his for mine, no response yet but I'll leave that on the table for ONE WEEK!😁

My '77 has that wide B like you're talking about and I got one out of a '79 2+2 that I put in my '72 and am really happy with it. Never use 5th around here but it's a game changer on the interstate roads.

Always good conversations with these. I'm ready to learn something!

I thought that was the name of the Farmers union?

That's a midlife crisis screaming out loud car. I'd end up wearing shoes without laces. 🤪

Someone sent me photos of a Toyota g86 I think. Said they only made 860 of this 10th anniversary model. He wants to trade even. I think not but I'm going done there tomorrow in my car for some comparison pictures and to rub it in a little.😁

I used Hastings on a stock 2.4 but have read a lot about oversized ITM pistons and rings. About half and half good and bad but I do know this guy named Guy that's got about five 240s with Eiji Hosomi at Datsun Spirit built motors. Top-shelf stuff, https://www.datsunspirit.com/engines.

He says the best thing to do with ITM rings is trash them and use Total Seal instead. Here's a thread with some opinions...

Maybe he'll see this, @Diseazd

No-no, I said "My 12/70 (16530) is black. And my 6/71 is orange/yellow."

I never knew they made a black 240Z? Learned something today!

One last pic after washing and driving around for a bit. Thanks everyone for the help.

That's the same as mine, door guards and all. Your paint looks a lot better though as mine has never had a respray. Yours's is my good vs bad comparison.

@dutchzcarguy those are funny! The Richard Pryor baby is my favorite but it's a little coarse for all members.

Héy Site, that picture reminds me of those vid's about the farm from Jeremy Clarkson, diddly squat farm.. (on Youtube) where toddlers play the rolls of all the people in the series!
