While doing Z Tyler Z's front suspension today, (Tokico's and Eibachs with ES urethane everything) We had to go to Schucks Auto Parts for an outer tie rod end and they had both sides in stock (Moog). Anyways, we stopped off at Auto Zone and found they had ES Urethane ball joint and tie rod end cups and also found the GM poly mount and the black Bump stops in stock and on the shelf. The bump stops were $12.99 ish' So it's nice to know it's readily available down the road. Wish I would have known that before I ordered from Jegs. Thanks for the info guys, and thanks for the quick write-up with needed info Arne. That helps. I'll be doing the rest of Tylers car next week (back end of the car) and everything is coming out for struts, springs, urethane and the R/T mount. Been working on his car for 12 hours (ran into issues) so I'm going to bed. Dave

"Accompanied is cosy Translator" Is that what you meant to say?

Paid $100 for my 79' ZX 5-speed at the local Pull a part. It worked great "Right out the box" No problems yet (3 years now) Dave

Nope, we're saying that your hearing needs testing, especially If the clock in the lincoln only clicks every 5 seconds. If every one is arguing against you, you might just be wrong for once. Back to the subject at hand.

I know, I was just making a point. It looks like a smooth movement though. And besides, IT'S A ROLEX!!! I'm just happy to have had it handed down from Grandfather before he passed on. Well, I'm off to go hang a 52" flat screen TV for a friend. Yeah for me.... not. Dave

ConchZ........... Tarmac............bpilati..............Powerglide........ I have not received your Payment/Order in the mail yet. We're down to only 4 left that are not spoken for. Once those are gone, I won't have much of a choice but to sell the "Spoken for" R/T's if I haven't heard back from you. It's nothing personal, just business. So Please let me know what you'd like to do, or if you've sent your order and I have not received it yet. Thanks to everyone that has helped make this a success. Dave

It's time to get your eyesight and hearing checked there Tom. I've NEVER heard of a clock that only clicks every 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds to save energy. EVER. Clocks tick Every Second, and some click a few times per second. Or they don't "Click" at all. My Rolex does not "Click" at all. It's just one smooth movement. If it starts to click, I want my Money back. Dave

Hey Guys, Sorry for the late responce, Been unside down in a Chevy Aveo doing power door locks and a full alarm, as well as a sub and Amp instal. Now I got an upset tummy from being upside down all day. Any ways, Duffman, no problem. Kawi585, Arne's right, 5 left and everythings on post #1, page 1. Just mail your order to me via USPS and I'll get it in 2 days (ish). Don't worry, If your names on the list, you get one. To everyone else, There are now only 4 left. Watch page 18 for name and shipping status. Dave.

It's an M10 1.25 and I use a 19mm long with a lock washer. You can also use up to 1" long, I think. But kep with the 19mm just to be safe and not go thru the floor. Dave

I'm gonna guess and say No. The collaps is on the wrong side of the firewall. But don't worry, in an accident, that steering wheel will still puncture and bruise ya, as Datsun intended. Dave

So I guess I'm a mix between a #2 and #3. I'm known in small circles as "Datsun Dave" My daily driver is a 70' 240Z that has been torn down and rebuilt to my own liking. Power windows, full alarm with Power door locks, 90/100 watt H4 Headlights with My Headlight Upgrade Harness, LED taillights, sidemarkers, front markers and dash lights. As well as an LED dome light and map light, My Parking light upgrade harness and 2) cold Cathode tubes under the dash hooked up to the door pins. 2) amp with 800 watts to the stereo systems 8 speakers (2 subs and 6 speakers) CD player and XM Sat radio. 79' ZX 5-speed and 3:90 R-200 diff make for great MPH and MPG (depending on the lead content of my right foot) Stock block and E88 head, 6-into-1 coated header, rebuilt SU's, Mallory Unilite dizzy, mallory Promaster Coil and MSD 6ALwith 7K pill. Aluminum Radiator, 2ga power wires, dist blocks and ground wire kit (my own) and the list goes on and on. May pages worth. Then there's the early 260Z. It's a project in progress and I hope to drive it by April. Don't get me wrong, I love the classic lines of these Japanese Sports Cars. I'll make minor changes here and there, like ZG flares, ABS front air dam, BRE rear spoiler, Possibly build another Cowl induction hood (All Steel) Custom build another grill (possibly chrome tube or aluminum tube) but it'll still look like a Z, albeit a Custom Z, but a Classic Z none the less. The add ons, including the ones above will also consist of a 1000 watt stereo system with 6 speakers in custom pods and panels, 2 amps, 2 Pioneer Shallow mount subs in the spare tire well. Angled rear pods to prevent the speakers from firing at each other, Double din Touch screen AM/FM/CD +R/RW/XM/DVD/NAV with USB card slot and iPod connector as well as bluetooth. Custom seats, 4-point harness bolted to a chromed roll bar, 76 sq ft of DynaMat Xtreme, new 5 peice carpet kit, shaved door handles, remote door pop and Maxima Start/Stop Button where the keyed ignition switch was. There's more but the question was What kinda of Zcar guy I am. I'm a Customizer who builds my cars the way I think they should have been built. I make inprovements where I want them and don't really care who it offends. I appreciate Datsuns for what they are, whether it came that way or you built it that way. So I'm a #4 Dave

Hey Lonny, I changed my mind. I delivered your package earlier today. I found I needed to head to town for something else so you'll see it a day sooner than originally thought. Dave

Yup, made to do that. I think it was Datsuns way of figuring out what length was optimal and also allowed for ease of instal when doing the column, nuckle, rod or rack instal. I found that my 260Z does NOT do this, which makes it more difficult. SO be happy that yours DOES do this. Dave

Bonzi Lon, Thanks Lonny, How'd you know it was my Birthday??? Just kiddin, but thanks for the card, I know why you sent it. I'm smart like that. Actually, it was Touching until I saw it was a birthday card. I thought I was actually getting a X-mas card from a customer. So I felt special for moment or 2, then I got over it. Thanks again, you're order will go out tomorrow morning, Dave

Damn, where were you when I was a kid looking for a car. Wanna adopt me? Welcome, you'll likely find a friendlier more informative crowd here at CZCC. Not to say that there's anything wrong with ZCAR.com but I guess you could say we're more of an Enthusiast site. We love stock and slightly modded but have no real issues with over modded Z either. Hell, there's a $100,000+ build going on titled "24 month restoration, Almost done" somewhere around this site. Check it out. Again, Welcome, Dave

Damn Jon, I shipped that yesterday. Looks good Ken. Be sure to post your Instal Pics. Dave

They're 15" and I agree, not enough sidewall. Dave

One more payment came in today. Terrapin Z, I'll ship your R/T out tomorrow. Thanks again for your order. Dave

where in Seattle are you? Maybe we can figure it out together? Maybe. I wish the author would comment on the wire colors on the Datsun side. dotted lines don't tell me much, and I'd rather know for sure, rather than trial and ERROR!! Followed by smoke signals. Dave

One of your Last Chances folks!! I don't think I'll be doing this again. Got way too much stuff on my platter and this has been very time consuming. And being as how time is money, and I didn't really make on this, it's time to move on to bigger and better things. I hope. So....... Only 5 Left, When they're gone, they're gone.

I'm kinda confused. and that ain't easy when it comes to this stuff. The above diagram makes no real sense (1st cup of coffee) What are the dotted lines on the datsun side? Are they the same color wire as the Honda side? It looks like the Honda's Blue/white is the relays activation wire... doesn't the Datsun control that relay? I guess I'll have to see it in an actual drawing and working unit to truly understand it. By the way Grantf, if it works on the 77' it should work on the 78'. Supposedly Dave

Awesome, you'll fit in just great around here !!!!!!

Nope, didn't make much but that wasn't the point of the whole deal. I just wanted to give everyone on here an option to the other guy who's always fishing or MIA. Plus he told me to only do it if it would be better than his. I think I succeeded. You're quite welcome Herb. Dave

It looks ok but if your suspension is tight, then I would go with a larger wheel and taller tire. I have 16x7 wheels and 225/50ZR16's on my 240Z. As you can see, they fill the wheel wells just fine. The car has been lowered only about 1.5 inches and never rubs due to the KYB's and Eibach springs. Dave

Arne, Thanks. I was kinda picky about the final product but kinda settled also to get them moving. Thanksgiving had a play in it as well. Glad you're happy with it. TZ, If your name is on the list (this goes for everyone) You have my word that it is yours. If anyone should change their mind, please let me know so that I can offer yours to someone else. nahurry, good to hear. Let us know how it goes. Movin on down the list. Got orders for Scotts Pearl and Z Car 77 and got both of them in the mail today, as well as orders for JonnyRock and 2 more R/T's for Diseazd. I also had to move the list to post 180 because I was no longer able to **EDIT** post 114. Dave
