You guys in Japan are very cool!

Before: Bumpers are in good shape. Roof liner is perfect.

My Sept 70 parts car arrived today. Sadly it only had two front wheels on as rear suspension pulled apart when putting on flatbed. Grrrr. Anyway all is well. Back end is gone but a lot of interesting parts: BRE Spook Rear hatch with vents Dash with radio and 140psi gauge Excellent Centre console Grill Badges I need to figure out how to get the hood off to see head and front end (which I need) It also came with ZFinding floor pans and BadDog Rails in boxes ?

YES!!! A light coloured steering wheel. Please tell us how you restored it and maintained the light colour!

WOW that is a big flywheel. Must be for stability during turns and bumps!

Be sure to see the Castle in Trim and New Grange passage tomb if you are traveling just north of Dublin along the Boyne River!y You can climb the tower in the Monastery at Slane. My fav spot was a bit further north in Old Castle, another passage tomb/hill Witch's Seat/ Cairn. We used to go to Virginia when homesick... lots of coniferous trees! Watch out for black spots and speed traps! Also if you are in a pub, be sure to try chicken curry half chips and half rice. We were addicted to Tato crisps and Cadbury chocolate. You can get nice sandwiches and soups too. Best in the world... even at a Spar. Chicken with stuffing... baps.... chicken tika sambo, almond fingers..... mmmmmmm

That looks like the west coast! Watch out for the mud and dirt and flooding on the road on rainy days (very few elevated roads with ditches). I lived there for 3 years. The short cuts were fun but you had to be careful.

There usually is some play in the drive train when the rear is jacked up and turning one wheel. If you secure the other wheel and the the transmission it should reduce. Is it a stock transmission?

Looks like it could be C3 and C4 connectors.

Yikes, that seems like the body harness to the rear of the car connector is the common part.

Looks like the play is in the differential/drive train. Put it in 1st gear and secure the passenger side wheel then see how much play you have.

My wife is reading a book The Blind Mechanic by Marilyn Davidson-Elliott (Nimbus Publishing) about a local celebrity who I never knew of: Eric Davidson. He was blinded in the Halifax Explosion at age 2 then went on to follow his love for cars. He was a master mechanic and could diagnose many cars by his attuned hearing. Here is a brief video of him:

WOW MIKE! I AM THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED! GREAT WORK AND GREAT POST!!! Btw I still suffer eye damage from looking at your engine in the Memphis sun!!!

It has been a long series of battles but the end of your war is coming!

One must accept: price is set by the whim of the purchasing population. prices increase with time and the value of some older items increases more than the values of others. price increases do not occur homogeneously across the full population of products. price increases do not occur homogeneously across geographical distributions. price increases do not always linearly scale with time. Pricing is bursty, price-growth is bursty, buyers are complex and independent entities who are wise, suckers, or carefree.

You mean the hub caps are off and in cardboard boxes on the rear deack?

Cursed a lot to help two steering rack bushings fit better on my freind's 240z.

Mike, did you see the photos of the Chilliwack Datsun Dealer in 1971? They are somewhere on this site.

Ships are slowing down with the tariffs. ?

" I don't believe it!"

The fact is that you do not see many G-nose Z's here in NA so that one is a treat. @gnosez's is my fav!

I feel bad scooping you. If you really need it, I'll bring it when visiting Dallas and trade for something in your hoard? ?
