That's were I find a lot of good deals locally. I think it's the icon up top of a house. You'll spend hours on there if you're not careful. Way better than Craigslist in my opinion.

I should have gone to meteorologist school. It's beatiful here today! Thankfully it took a sharp turn to the east and petered out. We got some rain last night but nothing like the predictions were. Good for our friends at ZCON too.

Welp here we go in my part of this. Winds are high and gusting, rain for 24hr supposedly. Only wish I could send some @Mark Maras and @Zed Head way.

I used the ones from o'Reillys. The SS hoses won't have any effect on wheel cylinders. They are for connecting the hardlines to each other. One from up front under the length of the car to the ones of the wheel assembly. They are for the movement of the strut's up and down. @w3wilkes used the cheaper ones with good outcome on his '71 by bending the short hardline at the wheel.

They are now part of my retirement plan. 401K ? 240Z and a 280Z for me. I had another 240 but stupidly sold it so I could park my daily driver back in my garage. These things are money in the bank now. Like a stock sort of, bought low and will sale high. Yes! very high.

I use the highest pump gas I can buy because my cars aren't driven as much so they sit for a month sometimes. Gas loses it's punch after awhile.

The rears have their connections opposite. You have to bend the hardlines around some but they will work. When I did mine simply swapping sides made for a lot less bending. Driver's side fits closer on the passenger's side and vs/versus. Let me splain that better... The cheaper ones are at a different angle than the OEs. Look at the pictures and you'll see. I made them work and that's about all that needs to be said.

I believe you and I are about the same age Steve. Not too young, not too old, just right. Enjoy your stay and keep those photos coming please Sir. Cliff

They put pee-pee in our Coke too.

Dang! It's really bad out there huh? The wiper motor cover especially. Burnt your wipers off too! Kidding friend. I know you're enjoying that Z. Cliff

Is this the pipe @Zup? Not sure about my position for the pic but I'm pretty sure this is the one off my '72. I deleted the coolant flow through mine so I would be willing to provide this to a good cause. I.E, if it will be used? Cliff Okay, walked my lazy arse downstairs and it is the pipe off a '72.

I'm checking FB's marketplace everyday. I want a Yamaha RD400. My Dad had one when I was a kid and let me ride it. He had to hold it up to leave out and on return I blew the horn and rode around the yard until he came out to hold it up while I was climbing off. 2 stroke street bike. Kenny Roberts raced them for years, they have a replica of it.

On record, jealous of you! You are the man in "man cave". Party on Wayne.

And a bed!

It appears to not have any bolt holes for attaching it to a Z or any other car for that matter. I think your kid is messin' with you too.

Damn, that's sad on top of sad.

I rebuilt a '77 about 8 years ago. The Tom Monroe book AK260 mentioned is the first money you should spend in my opinion. Read it a couple of times then start the work. Bag and tag is the next best advice. I can add my experience with that too, write the description on a piece of paper and put it inside the bag. A sharpie on the outside will smear and rub off after being handled a few times. Buy a gallon of lacquer thinner for cleaning and soaking parts as you remove them. A couple of 5 gallon buckets with the lids will be useful too. Brass wire "toothbrushes" work great with the thinner. I could go on and on but like Grannyknot says "you found the right place". There's always someone on here to answer any questions or offer advice from experience. Here's a couple of the most helpful things I've read on the internet. The tech tips from 240260280 is a money saver. He also has a '77 so it'll be extra nice. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/ https://www.datsunzgarage.us/ Oh yeah! The forum has a lot of info too. https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/forum/184-build-threads/

I'm late/wrong as usual but here's a picture I have from my 280 combo switch labeling what I found.

Same over here if you average them out.

Here's my favorite quick way to check the fuel level in the float bowls. I think that's 5/16 clear hose? I buy it at Lowes. 3/16" not 5/16. Sorry!

When you pull the choke handle do the nozzles drop down? Those hoses from the float bowls to the nozzles seem to stick outward more than mine. Could they be pinched somehow?

Right in the middle of ZCON 2020 too.

From all I read before rebuilding my motor, there's a lot of build threads on here too , it was suggested to buy as much Nissan as possible. I've built 2 and have zero leaks. The side seals are tricky to install the right way. They have grooves on one side and an angle on one end. Once you get that figured out my best advice was from @Diseazd about inserting them with the cap half way down. It's a lot easier that way and when you get them set tighten the cap down snip the excess off and use some black oil resistant RTV on top of the cap when putting the pan on. I couldn't find anything right off but here's the threads I read. Good luck, take your time and you'll be fine, no leaks. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ei=PRhVX7H0N8aW5gKuj6qICw&q=rear+main+seal+install+classiczcars.com&oq=rear+main+seal+install+classiczcars.com&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIFCAAQzQIyBQgAEM0CUMQ-WO59YIWYAWgAcAB4AIAB7gGIAdkQkgEGMTQuNi4xmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesABAQ&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwjxhpuJg9XrAhVGi1kKHa6HCrEQ4dUDCA0&uact=5

Found a receipt but double check the side seals. This is 5 years ago...

I used Nissan. Get the part number and your local dealership can get one overnight usually. Mine did. Or buy online from Courtesy Nissan. Oh yeah, you'll need the 2 side seals also. Again, Nissan has those as well.
