bryan, your gallery is empty.

mwz, how much are these mesh grills?

I had bought an N42 head from a guy and just received it last night. It has been rebuilt and then stored without having been used so it truely is a fresh rebuild. However, there was no cam sproket or valve cover and there is some rust in a few places. Please see the pix in my my gallery, there is one where I have pix from all angles in one photo and have circled some of the rust locations in red. I don't understand how the gallery system works, the head pix are scattered throughout my gallery and not in the order I uploaded them either. In short, there is a little on the cam, on the rod that runs parallel to the cam, the manifold bolts, in the little passages on the manifold side, and the piece that hangs off on the plug side of the head. Can someone please tell me how bad this is for the head and what can be done about it? I don't really want to pay for another rebuild or anything like that. Can this just be cleaned up with something? Does it need cleaned up (I'm thinking yes)? What would be used to clean it up (tools, chemicals, etc)? Should I be mad at the seller for not disclosing this information to me? As a side note, since the cam sproket is missing are they all the same between the different Z heads?

I don't have the luxury of an inspection as the unit is half way accross the country. But from everyone's input I will get back with the seller and let him know I want it. Thank you all very much!!

When where these remanufactured? How much use have they had since then? Sounds like all that's missing are the pads to start using them. Is this correct?

The price is very right, R180 4.11 for just under $100 SHIPPED!! :classic: :bandit:

Here's a pic of the outside of the diff.

Here is a pic of the inside of a diff I am looking at buying and I'd like to know if it appears to be in good shape?

Zmefly, as I understand it this is a direct bolt on upgrade. No modifications or other parts are needed. Is this correct? I am just trying to confirm this before I spend money since you mentioned spacers and the fact that "it is mad to work with your eixsting rotor". Can you please clarify this? Oh! Also, do you have the master cylinder available? If not I'm sure I can find one but if you have the right one in good shape that wold be cool.

The car with the least amount of BAD rust/rust through is probably the best starting point.

Well I have 440 some odd posts, almost 500...and that's since I registered in only Jan. of this year! I am interested! But had a couple questions. Are these the Toyota 4Runner S12 calipars? Will they fit behind 14" wheels? Do I need to change the master cylinder or proportioning valve? If so do you have these also?

Still trying to find out where in SA you are located. I could have come by and taken a load of this stuff from you this past weekend. Please let me know where you are located. Also, are you still giving this stuff away?

The show is nearing and the club needs voluteers to help staff and judge the event so if you are interested contact them about it...and enter your Z while you're at it.

Well, I have had only one person say that they want any, at least at this price so it looks like a group buy will not work. However the good news is that the seller is a place called MidwestZ and have also recently become a member here and said that all members of this site get a 10% discount in this thread.

Anyone have any information that they can share about the service manual by autopress? I found one for the '70-'71 240Z for sale and want to know if it's a book worth having at a price tag of $26 + S&H or should I pass on it?

Interesting again...if you are talking about the summer/winter switch on the front of the air cleaner housing mine has that as well and my car was produced 8/70. I have no idea where it was originally shipped to and sold but it's in Texas, and the previous owner lived here too. *shrug*

That is an interesting observation. I have a series I and my door locks are on the top of the door. It looks like these were at one time but they have been plugged and one has been added behind the arm rest if I'm not mistaken.

Holly cow!! Your cam broke!? What car was that in and what other damage was caused?

For those of you who are in or near central Texas there is a Z car show coming up on Sept. 20 that you may be interested in attending. Here's some info. 5th Annual Texas Statewide Datsun/Nissan Autoshow
