Got it, I'll give it a look. Thanks!

Do you mean pull the cowl plate off and look or looking up from the passenger footwell?

Gang - I'm also in a classic British car restoration forum and they had a really cool thread idea that I wanted to bring here: Did you buy your Datsun brand new and you still own it to this day? If so, please post the oldest photo of you & your car in this thread, and maybe write a little story about what prompted you to buy it at the time! * Also welcome in this thread are stories & photos from Z owners where another family member (parent, grandparent, etc) bought the car new and it has stayed in the family until present day Looking forward to reading your story! I know @jfa.series1 has one!

Thanks Jim! This is what I'd used in the past whenever I found some sneaking around: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q0I62IU?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2. Thoughts on this por15 offering?

I was planning on sealing the rust with por15 which works really well in a similar sense

Why for dynamat specifically?

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I was going to replace it with dynamat

Hi all - Am I able to remove this black panel without weakening the floor (as it seems to be welded or glued to it and is pretty hard)? I pulled up the carpet tonight for a replacement, scrubbed the floor with a nylon brush to remove surface rust, and was able to scrub a small hole in the floor which I don't appreciate. I want to see if there is more under this big black piece (circled in blue), but if it is there to strengthen the floor (as it is very hard), I don't want to start yanking on it. Any ideas what it is?

If you shake it and it rattles, it's good. If it doesn't, it means it's gummed up and should be replaced. They are available at any autoparts store for a few bucks.

I did but to no avail. I even ended up blasting the old grease/dirt out with brake cleaner and then relubing it with sprayable silicone lubricant but the squeak didn't go away

Hi all - I took the spring-loaded seat hinge apart to re-grease it since it was making a squeak noise when I moved in the seat (the arm that sits between the seat back and bottom that does not contain the angle adjusting hinge) and after re-assembling it, the hinge flops around. Does the spring need to be spun to get tensioned before re-assembly? If so, how is that done?

Would throwing a bottle of that Lucas cleaner every time I fill up do anything to break this stuff down, or is the consensus just 'keep the tank topped off'?

Gotcha - that's odd and a bummer

Gotcha, that might be why we were getting standard fuel pressure when we had the gauge on, but still had to performance?

Would air in the line show up on a fuel pressure gauge?
