Has anybody gone on this website Vintage Datsun and Nissan parts and tried to purchase something recently. They have parts listed but no way to add them to my cart. I've sent them 3 emails since Sunday. No response.

Both the original tensioner and the new one have rubber type washers between the tensioner pad and it's housing.

Yes, I set mine as tight as possible end of the slot. My slot is on the top side pivots from the bottom. My original bolt had a flat washer to cover the slot. The oil Slinger is sitting in position same as your picture. I'm going to attempt to put the cover on today without removing the oil pan. Not sure if that's possible but I'm going to give it a whirl.

The timing chain Guide bar has a slot for adjusting tension. Is there an ideal tension to Set the guide at?

I really appreciate that thank you. I was certain I did everything right I just didn't get to number (11) eleven. I saw your 2019 post and your mathematical computations Cheers

The timing chain has the two-silver links and the top sprocket & the bottom of sprocket has little marks on them, and they need to line up, and I believe there's 42 links in between those two points. I did that & was 100 percent certain I was on top dead center # 1 and the crank wood drift key was pointing up; I assembled the new Sprockets guides and tensioner. One of the books I read said to rotate the motor two times making sure nothing's hitting which I rotated it multiple times got it back to top dead center, but I never did get my two-silver chain links to line up the way it did when I set it up originally. My guess is that's normal, but my intuition is confusing my thought process at the moment. Anybody can help me out so I can sleep tonight that would be appreciated.

Vintage Datsun and Nissan parts has the bolt kit (39628-E4100) for $95. But there doesn't seem to be any way to add it to my cart, so I've sent them an email. All the other sites sell the bolt only ranging from 21 to 33 dollars each. I've sent emails out I would like to replace nuts bolts and lock washers Maybe I'll have some luck on Monday

Yes it's 19 on the drawing.

I believe these bolts are 10mm x 125 threads and 22.23mm long. I'd like to replace those as the 54 year old rusted almost stripped ones that I removed I'd rather not put back on. Does anybody know where I can find these special nuts, bolts & lock washers? Most likely they are hardened as well. Thank you in advance for any tips or directions that may come my way.

Just got the harmonic balancer Back. Looks really good. Namerow asked for pictures.

I’m interested in your used tank. I’m in San Jose California. I remember 30 years ago the fuel tank in my 1956 GMC truck I had resealed, but I’m not sure that those kind of shops are even still around because of the chemicals in the EPA restrictions. My Z is 54 years old and from what I could tell, which, of course is limited with the Bore scope, it’s very rusted

So I emailed with Chris at S 30.world. He has a tank for me but it’s 695+ $160 shipping plus $435 tariff. he also told me that sometime in January, they will be establishing a warehouse in Los Angeles. That way we save the tariff and the freight from the Netherlands.

Just got this back today from Sanderson's headers South Francisco it's ceramic coated inside and out $150. Nice people quality workmanship

1971 Datsun 240Z upon inspection with a bore scope can see lots of rust inside my gas tank Wondering if someone can tell me where I can get a new tank.

Installing KYB Struts with KYB dust cover and bump stop. I noticed a fairly significant gap between the housing tube and the bellow. I thought it needed to be sealed to the housing. Is that true? Opinions welcome.

👍

My 1971 Z didn't Have rubber Bellows type dust cover boots on the strut rod. The manual doesn't show that the car came with that. But it seems like a really good idea to add those before I reassemble the struts Any thoughts on that idea?

I'll post pictures. It takes about two weeks.

I'm installing new KYB's I like the idea of a light coating of lube on the inner walls.

I was hoping to hear those words. Make sense. Thanks

Do I really need to use a special oil in the tube is there any other oils that will serve the purpose? Maybe I have something in my workshop already

I mailed the balancer to the guys in Reading this AM. $300. Thanks for the tip🙋‍♂️

Good information, appreciate your response. Sounds like I need to replace or re-core my original one
