Nissan 400z Rumors
There's one for sale about a mile from here. I'm going to get side by side photos when we can get together and post them up on here. It has the quarter window that I don't see on the new Nissan Z but those F35 jet scoops can stay in the air for all I care. Don't get me wrong, I'd take a pink Supra if you offered me one.

Nissan 400z Rumors
They missed the 50th anniversary. 51 is okay if that's the one. I like the look, simple in my opinion. I like the Supra but it's got a lot of BS body lines to me.

L28 full rebuild assembly
Do you guys have the motor leveler for your hoist? They're cheap from Harbor Freight. Instead of turning that crappy handle you can put a socket wrench on the other end.

That's a fantastic bike! I rode a YZ490 4 speed once and couldn't keep the handlebars out of my face. That thing was like a rocket. I couldn't kick one over now. If it doesn't have a battery I can't start one. I apologize for getting off point on this guys thread but I need some good memories right now. Thank you for allowing me to play. Oh it's YOUR thread! Thank you once again. Cliff

I remember two 2 stroke street bike motorcycles. My Dad had a red Yamaha RD 350 and a friend had a Suzuki GT 750. I had a KX 80 and that fast little bike changed my life, damn power band! I can hardly walk now from the wrecks I've had on those two wheelers.

Don't forget to put rubber hose sections over the cap bolts to not scar the the crank.

I've used this one one 2 rebuilds without any issues. Just got it as tight as possible and tapped the piston down with a hammer handle.

5 Speed Transmission inspection and possible rebuild.
I got in a tranny fiasco on Bourbon Street a few years ago. I've never been in a fight but that was the closest so far. They are mean.

Isn't it notch towards the front, # to the left of the notch and oil squirt hole on the passenger's side? Monroe's book page 125.

It's been awhile but 12 oclock from what I remember was the windshield then 3 would be driver's side, 6 radiator and 9 passenger's side. There is that little nick showing the front of the cup which would be the radiator.

I miss my cleaners too.

What's the rear? Is the air flow the same? Just read Mark's post.

Gas Tank restore and POR15
Trying to remember I do believe the heater hose grommets are the same as the rear panel fuel vent line hose?

Gas Tank restore and POR15
I bought mine at local Nissan dealership. The heater hoses through the firewall and the rear hatch. Google these numbers, I don't remember which was which.

Gas gauge wire corrosion?

Squeaking could be the alternator belt or the water pump. Are you sure you have coolant?

Could have been silver originally? Those look good like the old Porsches. Look for the color code on the radiator support. Then look it up here... http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html

That looks like a '73's bumpers. Look at the manufacturer date plate on the drivers side door jam. If 9/72 they consider it a '73. The '73s have a slightly beefier bumper mount. The are a little farther out from the body and have heavier duty mounts. Still, a fantastic car. Slightly different from a '72 though so keep that in mind when ordering parts. Cheers!

That looks great! A real barn find too. Knowing it was your Dads is even better. My Dad passed on in January and I'm trying to get an old El Camino running he left me. The nice newer one he left to my brother in law! WTF? I guess he knew the best mechanic when he made that decision. Anxious to see yours out and cleaned up. The interior looks good.

Could be the tps or afm are stuck from spider webs or something. The sweeper vane under the black square on the afm should move freely. Throttle position switch should go from right contact to free in the middle then to wide open left side. I've read that after washing the engine bay down the tps will stay wet and cause problems. Just guessing.

If it's been sitting for 15 years don't try and crank it if you haven't already. That's a lot easier said than done. This is good to read over. It's a little heavy handed for me but still great information. Added edit: change the oil, charge the battery and bypass the dirty fuel tank by running the inlet hose to the fuel filter into a clean 2 gallon gas can with fresh gas. Before that though pull off the valve cover and pour oil over the valve train. Make sure oil is flowing through the oil bar that runs parallel with the cam. You can pull the coil wire to do this so it won't try to start while you spin the engine, oil pump.
