btw do you see similarities with anything?

Close. 250SE was in 1965. The parts are from an engine released 14 years earlier.

Nope.

Not a Nissan.

New respect for tires after this:

The rocket scientist Zedyone_kenobi gave us a great design. I am using 3 in my garage: Here is Zedy's

I'll grab it when there

Sold my Blue 72 today... looks like Blue 77 will be heading to Georgia

A few years ago in the moonlight. I could hear it rusting.

I took my 72 out for a spin on the street today. Near freezing but no snow.

I experimented with tucking and rectangular muffler up into the well behind the wheel. It looks great but it becomes a cavity resonator and significantly couples noise into the cabin. I now know why Z's have the low profile round muffler that seem to try and stay out of that cavity. Yes there is a muffler in there.

Let's go racing:

Sean, have you looked at Helmholtz resonators, H joints, or 1/4 wave devices to further tune or improve the exhaust systems?

oh oh... I added my post to the 2016 thread above and started a chain reaction...

I just pulled apart a head and took photos for the above procedure. I'll post here tomorrow.

Finally did some Z work... for a friend. Removed cam and head. Cylinder 4 plug was slightly black and oily. 4 head bolts around cylinder 4 were dry and crusty, all others were smooth and oily. Head bolt above exhaust ports in centre broke... but enough is out for the engine shop to weld to... lucky day. Cylinder 4 and 3 had some crust where the eyebrows are (L26 engine), piston tops look good. I had to call it a night. I'll peel off head gasket and inspect it further tomorrow along with valves. I took lots of photos

Carpets look nice. Neat photo of the old guy... he looks like he spent his grocery money on car parts though.

You are not special. I knocked a wire off my friend's hacked up 510 wiring when installing Webers for him, It took many hours to make good. Nice to be in your company! Congratulations!
