  1. I'm guessing this is it? https://jdm-car-parts.com/products/air-condition-equipped-decal-for-all-datsun-nissan-cars-in-late-60s-and-70s?variant=1769352757257 @kats @HS30-H could you help?
  2. Recline in your "incline 6"
  3. Me too Mr Arnett. I also put them on the rear bumper mounts closest to the rear tires and on my Xenon front spoiler above the front tires. Lowes has a good selection in their Hillman cabinets. I call them rubber fender washers? P.s: I like the chrome bumpers too. Looks more original and not like a kit add on. You have one of the sweetest Safari Gold cars I've seen. "One of" @Diseazd.
  4. Could this be "urgelus" from some old post we talked about? Same wolf different clothes?
  5. On first start up I would do what Tom Monroe's"How to rebuild" books says. Open the lower drain on the radiator and feed fresh water from a a hoe's pipe at about half of wide open and equalize that flow in and out for about 20 minutes. If you have a problem with internal engine stuff the water won't be as bad as antifreeze. Thats what I've done twice and it worked good for me. 20 minutes at 2,000RPM on a new rebuild. Whatever you're doing, it's a good flush out know matter what. If you don't have a drain plug loosen the bottom hose. Good luck.
  6. I run a larger 280 radiator on my 240 with a full shroud off a ZX. 180F tops, fyi. The gauges on these cars aren't very reassuring. Mine stay on the right leg of the M in TEMP. That 170F to 180F. I strongly beleive the 180F thermostat from Nissan is far and above the chain store thermostats you can buy. Stant, I think, is not even in the ballpark when it comes to quality compared to Nissan.
  7. Advertising switch and bait type thing. Like I said "lipstick on a head".
  8. I would bet that's Dykem blue layout dye on those chambers. Somebody is using that photo to fool an unfortunate not very mechanical desk jockey looking at bat.com.
  9. He must've read about California Datsun then folded. Who in the hell paints a high temp combustion chamber? I wonder if the head is actually on a car or more for advertising flash BS?
  10. I'm sure the mouse trap springs were polished as well. It cost a little more but I had my lash pads polished on the last rebuild I did. I think I read that in the Honsowetz book? That blue looks good in the picture by the way. I wonder if that is the actual head that was installed or more "trickery" from California Datsun? Lipstick on a head.
  11. These are from 1972 when the dealer installed spoilers were put on. They aren't very noticeable to anyone but me. These are where the DATSUN emblem was. I removed that spoiler when I had the car's single stage paint cut and buffed out. Then repainted them in satin black. The rear was a huge pain getting off and even worse reinstalling it, FYI.
  12. Neither is Stihl.
  13. On my car the rear spoiler holes that are unsightly after 50 years are OE emblem placement. They put 240Z but covered up Datsun. So the holes where Da was are exsposed on my car.
  14. Pfff..my phone is 2 years old and works great. No need for name/model gratification. Pfff... Means "sigh" huh? well I been mowing grass all day so after some beer and dinner it's pfff..pfff..pfff..pass.
  15. I think I would keep the period correct upgrades and offer the OE parts as well when you decide to sale. When I read BRE and Mulholland it raises my interest. Just my fyi. Take it with a grain of salt...
  16. Or a pop-up book would've been good, maybe? This is what I first remember...
  17. For the "boobies"? I started out on another one but they all said "don't ask, use search" like they stayed on there all the time just to say we don't have time, do it yourself. Strike 1. Then one of the main "don't ask me" wanted money to marry his high school sweetheart that was homeless without him but he was broke. I knew then I wasn't going to listen to those fools and somehow stumbled on "blues tech tips". Been here everyday since. I owe him big for that. @240260280 the best draw for me. I need to know how to fix my Z, not so concerned with who designed it.
  18. I've read good things about uship.com. The guy that bought my Dad's el camino off bat.com used them too.
  19. I agree! That's the exact word I used in 2011. It would buck like hell up to 2,500RPM then pull good.
  20. Orange you gonna tell us?
  21. Thanks Zed. I won't have to climb thru my storage building again. I just found this from zkars too while you were posting.
  22. Looking at my 225 and 240mm hubs, yours looks like a 240mm. I took some measurements of the friction disc of both and a crappy pic of the difference in the hubs. Hope it helps. 225mm 240mm
  23. I have these on both my cars, 225mm flywheels. They grip good and are easy to use. Close to OE from all I read. https://www.amazon.com/EXEDY-06009-OEM-Replacement-Clutch/dp/B001B5D7TE
  24. Could need a new distributor cap and rotor button? Good luck.
  25. I am positive it is a number 1 favorite song I would love but unfortunately I can not hear it where I live. Thank you Kats.
