43 here and I thought I was one of the old guys I can't believe all the members from other Countries. The US guys are almost out numbered on here. Being older then 2ManyZ's is going to really bug me for awhile

Here is a link with info from the Early Datsun web site on the Silvia. http://www.angelfire.com/ns/silvia/history.html

Its a 1966 Silvia.

Same here on the KYB's I have the receipt from the PO and mine fronts are dead , and they haven't been on teh car that long

Hi Eric, Some people will shudder when I say this, but try a squirt of starting fluid into the carbs. Just a small squirt to see if it will fire. If it does fire on start fluid then more in likely it is something in the carbs. Mike

There was a rear one like Vic Sias's car has on Ebay the other day . It was a new one that the guy found. I was to cheap to bid anymore and lost at $107.. What an idiot I was :stupid:

Sayner made my friends adjustable sway bars for his car. Someone in the LA area is also making them , but they are about double the price.

Hmmmmmm !!!!! Caprice_Pyro just doesn't sound right ! I guess we should pitch in an get you a subscription to Low Rider MAgazine Come on Z their are a few big Z Clubs in your area that could help you out. Most of us have spares we could send you to get her running. You are dealing with some pretty cool people in the Z community who will lend a helping hand. And besides " Chicks dig Z's " One track day with your Dad at Thunderhill or Buttonwillow and you will be changed.

I have to agree with you guys on that one. By the time the next issue is out my last issue is pretty much worn out from me flipping through the pages for ideas. I use to buy them at the newstand until I saw the " Free" trial issue. I went online and ordered the freebie and was really hooked.

The proper way would be with primer then paint over the top, but if the area isn't exposed to sunlight much you could get away with just POR -15 . I need to repaint my battery tray area myself, but not until another motor goes in.

I use Oxalic acid to clean rust and aluminum parts. I buy it by the gallon at paint stores. It isn't as hot as other acids and works great cleaning stuff off. You just have to remember to coat what every your cleaning right away.

If you are interested in the Japanese pieces and have lots of $$$$$$$$$ send me a private message and I will get in touch with you.

Hi Eric, Its me again :-) The Nissan Motorsports one is rated at 1.6 GPM. They also suggest a 75 micron filter. Mike

Lug nuts aren't a problem. Look at this link : http://www.wheelcomponents.com/ And then go click on accessories/car/lugnuts I think in that order. They wouldn't allow me direct link to the lug nut page. They have tons of styles of lug nuts. Including the step washers that you need to install the ZX wheels with the huge holes in them :-)

Eric, Are you going to use it to mount ZG flares ? If so let me know I have another source for something . Mike

THe Japanese ones in the picture are $$$$$$$$ they also have another setup that is less expensive. Mike Kelley's from ZF Suspension's are the least expensive and are fully adjustable on the car. Links to his set up pics are here : http://photos.yahoo.com/dat74z2001 His sell for $850 a set I believe and he is throwing in a set of rear Control arm bushings. Mike

Eric, try this email addy out. dat74z@yahoo.com Also check out the set up Kyle found in Japan. Mike

Hey Eric, Check out this link . http://photos.yahoo.com/dat74z2001 Click on my phoots album and if thats what you are talking about. It is Mike Kelly from ZF Racing . Let me know if thats the stuff. I will get try to get his email for you. Mike

Eric, Are you planing on changing bearings and seals at the same time ? John Coffey mentioned a driveline place in the LA/Orange County area that set up his R180 and the Quaife. He had everything the brearings and seals done during the install. $150 sounds pretty fair for adjusting breakaway pressure. I have seen people spend hours trying to get it right. Mike

Hi Eric, Here is the pic of the front air dam. Note that it doesn't have any brake ducting in it. It is solid straight across. http://users.adelphia.net/~bitterroot/brespoiler.jpg Thanks, Mike

Eric, The one in the photo has the brake ducts in it. The one I have is straight across. Same style, but without the brake ducts. I will get a shot of it tomorrow an upload it to my website. Mike

Hey Shock, Was it one of the Strictly BWM guys or another Bimmer ?

The front spoiler on my car pic isn't the one I want to trade. The one I have is the BRE Spook non vented spoiler that attaches to the lower valance.It has never been installed. The one in the picture had to go to the dump. Idaho isn't the best place to be for any type of ground effects. The spoiler in that pic sure plowed plenty of snow :-) I will wait to see what Eric wants to do before I make any decissions.

Hey Eric, You interested in trading for a BRE rear or front spoiler. I have both and am not going to use them. The rear has been mounted but never painted. Thanks, Mike

I always thought it had to do with corner weights on the Z , but I am not sure if that is why. I have a set of used Eibachs here and they we marked by the guy I got them from. He reminded me not to put them on the wrong side.
