Rear Control Arm Bushings
I have bought from them, and my "kit" #23-4137 provided all of the bushings for both sides of the rear suspension. They sell 2 kits. One for FRONT suspension #23-4136 and one for REAR suspension #23-4137. Two pieces of Polyeurethane make up each contgrol arm "bushing". Just make sure the kit covers Inner and Outer bushings. Total of 16 pieces of Polyeurethane would cover both sides of the rear. One FRONT and one REAR kit should do it for the whole car. Then you need the Mustache bar bushings, again one kit should have all you need.

240Z stalls, won't restart with less then 1/2 tank of gas?
I've had the crack in the fuel lines (so bad that fuel was leaking out of the hose), but the engine never died. I would think there is more to it than cracks in the hose to cause the engine to die. I can't see how cracks in the hose would stop fuel flow. I'd think an obstruction that gets washed away from the tank outlet when you add fuel would be more likely. Good brakes on the bike in your avatar! Oh, wait, it's animated, it took a while to load! JMO,

Anybody Watching Daytona 24 Hrs race?
Been there several times. They have cars dating all the way back to the early 1900's. Such as Henry Fords famous #999 (1902), Ferrari's, Bugatti's, Talbot Lago, Jags, MG, almost any brand of race car you could imagine. Lots of great drivers attend also. Over the years I met & got autographs from Carroll Shelby there. Phil Hill, Dan Gurney, Jackie Stewart, and Emerson Fitipaldi too

Won't Start please help
Have you tried cleaning the battery cables or using a different battery? If the car has been sitting for 4 years, these would be my first steps.

Rear Control Arm Bushings
I don't know why they would need to be either, but that's how mine came from MSA. Having problems with just that one video, or others too?

Rear Control Arm Bushings
Hi David Well there are still 4 "bushings" in each place, it's just that the 4 PU inner, and 4 PU outer bushings each need to be assembled, from a total of 16 pieces of PU. He didn't mention PU or aftermarket, so for simplicity I just gave the OEM part answer. Did you get the Bob and Tom "Beach Boys" parody video that I sent?

Z-Cars at Barrett-Jackson Auction
I watched the auction all of Saturday and Sunday, and most of Thursday and Friday. I didn't see any of them on TV. But I did hear some lame talk on a variety of subjects (mostly from Brock Yates).

I don't think that a hotter cam is going to get you very much more performance if the E31 head doesn't breathe better (bigger valves). Just my opinion. I can't really advise on a cam, as I've stuck with the stock grind, although I wouldn't go too radical if you plan to use the car as a daily driver. Some of the people at MSA have good advice, and others don't; in my experience. I would tend to believe the book over almost anyone (except Rebello Racing or Sunbelt Racing)

Can't fill Differential!
Sorry Nate, I really don't know. I would assume pointing to the rear, but that's just an assumption.

Can't fill Differential!
"IF" you can get the plastic breather vent out (without breaking it, remember it's 30 years old!) you could fill from there, but I have no idea what the exact quantity of fluid should be. Have you used something like PB Blaster, or Kroil to help coax the filler plug to loosen? I'd keep trying to loosen the fill plug, maybe with an extension "cheater" bar on your ratchet. If it was my car, the plastic vent would break the instant I tried to remove it.....and I'd overfill the diff. PS: Keep this lesson in mind when you go to drain the transmission, although you can fill from the reverse switch if need be. OH, and use ANTI-SEIZE on all fill and drain plugs!

If you are rebuilding an L24, I recommend "How to Rebuild Your Nissan/Datsun OHC Engine". It will be the best $20 you ever spent and will answer all of your questions. MSA sells the headbolts also. http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=70-1041
