Always a great play for July 4th regardless of your politics.

Does this coincide with A/C compressor engage / disengage?

On the HS30- 000099 car I wonder why it explicitly mentions the E31 head, wouldn't it be stock for that year car? That's the head that came on my 12/70 US 240z.

The 60's were good to me to! And I'm guessing were not alone.

For the last couple of days I've been getting an error message saying there's too many connections and I can't get to the forums. Is this just me or are others seeing this too?

Here's a thread on the Silver mine version...

Some humor... I bought my early mfg 12/70 car in 1990. I think I've opened up my tool covers a total of once just to make sure everything was there!

Can't believe the Knicks won!

Just a guess, but this sounds like maybe a cold start injector falling down on the job?

It seems to be a pretty nice car overall. Appears to have been rode hard some, but isn't that what it's all about? I agree that it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Yes, I've broken one of those plastic handles. I now ALWAYS pull the choke from where the choke handle connects to the metal lever.

I think Charles just did this... @Patcon

What about pipe dope or Teflon tape?

It looks like MSA has the squeegees Motorsport Auto - The Z Store - NEW! Door Upper Molding Repair Kit, 70-78 240Z-260Z-280Z Coupe

Did a little searching and I think these may be your clips. @Patcon @Namerow U Type Headliner & Upholstery Snap-On Trim Clip (AV9417) | Upholstery Supply USA

And it keeps the dashpot from bouncing off the ceiling of the dome assembly, like when you punch it.

Did you say these were freshies from ZTherapy? If so I guess you could try asking Steve @ Ztherapy. When I got mine I just bolted them up, didn't change a thing and they run just fine, idle and all. My elevation is base 4,500 ft and up from there to about 6,500 ft. I think my carbs are a little rich for this elevation. I can stand a little rich, it helps to keep the heat down.

Any possibility of seeing the "cut line" of these headlights shined on like a garage door at night, both low and high beam? Something like this; Thanks

It's coming together nicely! Put a LED bulb in the glove box to reduce the heat that warps the door.

I rebuilt my seats back in 2018 and did the leather from Interior Innovations, very happy with the results. I bought the foam from MSA. I did swap my series 1 seats for some I got out of a '77 Z. This was to get the seat back articulation for full forward and back tipping along with the base seat springs rather than the straps. Here's what I posted about doing it.

@SteveJ You use the Toyota 81110-60P70 rather than the Hella Vision Plus? Is that just because of the price difference since they're both DOT approved.

Can't find plastic, but over on Hybrid Z they say the 260 / 280Z plastic liner doesn't need much modification to fit. Also Skillard sells an aluminum liner box ALUMINUM GLOVE BOX | DATSUN | 240Z

It's probably a latter 71. The body vents are in the pillar and not below the rear glass in the hatch. The VIN is probably higher than HLS30-21000. I guess Datsun hadn't run out of vertical defroster glass yet when the car was built. You might want to retrieve the rear hatch glass.

I've also done the Wesco Roadster belts in my early 71 240Z.
