Just bought a pair and am looking forward to getting them. Thanks

In Wash. State it's Tabs.

Okay, here goes try number three or so. A friend of mine from Alberta, Canada - it's from an Aussie Radio show so maybe our friends Down Unda will recognize it. Tried attaching his wave file but that wouldn't work. Tried uploading to my gallery like I did a video awhile back and that didn't work. So did a Google search and got this link -- click and enjoy: Warning for our younger listeners, I didn't know where it was going at first, but thought it was pretty funny albeit a little risque' (however it's spelled). http://tekenaar.opelgt.com/Misc/AussieRadioJoke.wma

I just got a quote of $25 to have my gas tank hot tanked and pressure tested. Sounds good to me, so I left it to be done. Maybe living in the boonies isn't always a bad thing.

Thought some of you other Datsun/Nissan types might be interested in this RHD import. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Laurel-SGX-1976-JDM-Nissan-Laurel-SGX-RHD-Classic-JDM-Skyline_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6392QQihZ012QQitemZ220024980279QQrdZ1 and then there's this RHD Fairlady Z http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Other-FAIRLADY-Z-1970-FAIRLADY-Z-Datsun-nissan-510-B210-240Z-260Z-280Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6188QQihZ015QQitemZ250026452422QQrdZ1

Ian, I have an L28 out of a 280Z someone gave me that you are welcome to have. It is just taking up space in my garage right now. However, I am in Eastern Wash. I might be heading to Seattle around Halloween (if tradition holds) and could get it to you that way if that's not too late to start your project. I have no idea about what shape the engine is in -- it is pretty much bare -- no efi or carbs. It looks like it could definately use rebuilding.

Arne, I am sure you said somewhere, but is this the original L24 that matches the car, or did you have to go with another one? I have a Series I, but the engine that was in it does not match, nor did the block that came with the car and a '72 parts car.

If that was asked of me, I'd just have to say I haven't the slightest on how to rip to my computer, I had a look at converting VCR to DVD, but to be honest just got confused. Maybe I'll order the DVD. Also saw the Austin Healy one and it was pretty good too. Here's a link to the DVD. http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=72035&browseCategoryId=&location=&parentcatid=&subcatid=

The Nissan Z Car is on History International Channel right now as part of their Voyages Automobile series. I've got it on tape, but I always seem to stop and watch it when it's on the History or History Intn'l channel. It's on again at 1 a.m. Pacific Time. They speak with Mr. K and have some good old footage. I'd like to get it on DVD. I've also seen the shows on Saab, BMW, Volvo, Jag, and VW.

Thanks for looking I PM'd ezzzzz as he says he might have one for me. I want to thank everyone who has been on the lookout for one of these. Gary D.

Hiiiiiiii Brian. Nice car, forgot I started that previous thread. Brian you have a great starting point. Wish my car was that close to being finished. Guess I need to get a daily driver.

Thanks everyone who has tried to help -- I have someone sending me the distributor fixing plate. That's the half way there part. Thanks Savannah. I just need the thing the plate mounts to now.

I've gotten some help, but still looking for the part I posted. I think there has been some confusion in exactly what it looks like so I'm posting a couple more photos with text. The problem may be the block I started with, although an F54 was pretty bare and didn't have the mount. I will try looking through the wreckers, but most of them went on a crushing spree recently and I don't think many Zs or ZXs survived. Here's the photos of the part I need if I'm reading the AtlanticZ tech article correctly:

No problem, I knew it had recently been discussed so I did the search for you. Sometimes I search and search for stuff and can't find what I'm looking for -- just thought this sounded familiar.

This head was recentlly discussed here: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20278&highlight=Y70
