Bilstein shocks
I believe I read a previous post you commented on these years ago. I have one that the shaft looks a little scratched, so not sure I can a complete set . I haven’t removed the front yet, but everything came apart easily. Like to run these but not sure without a complete set . Do you have the nuts also? I am going to test them based on the suggestions on the 2009 post . The car sat very square but it wasn’t drive- able at that time , so way to tell for sure . The fronts look adjustable with a smaller shaft. Did you have the fronts?

Bilstein shocks
Someone can school me on these shocks ? This is one of the rear shocks from # 4858 . The shafts on the front are smaller . Are these the infamous p30 Bilsteins ?

Thinking about installing an BMW M6 engine in my Z
Impressive work Chris ! A friend down the street owns a repair shop and had two of those motors sitting on stands . I keep drooling at those ITB’s and thinking .....

Ceramic coated vs straight stainless for header and exhaust system
It would be a shame to cover up the natural SS, but the ceramic really does help with underhood temps

Ceramic coated vs straight stainless for header and exhaust system
I do like that race sport header ! That’s a ceramic coat on the race sport ?

Ceramic coated vs straight stainless for header and exhaust system
The ceramic coating works well - no doubt. I am still impressed after years how well the coating has held up and it helps beat the heat. I personally don’t like MSA as a business, but the header works . I’ve heard some issues with the flange and some folks were having issues with them sealing .

Optimal performing exhaust for street
So your Fuji is like the GreddyTrust shape? Looks like an equal length but it’s not really . I’m looking at a used Greddy and looks identical but it’s blue :). Let me know if you decide to let yours go. I just want something that has side by side dual outlets . Currently have the MSA .

Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build
I was too cheap since my guides were good. I imagine he waits to do the valve job after wards . He can get nice and tight on those seats and if the grinder skips or gets scratched the valve cutters will clean it up. I would also think he put the larger seats in and is blending before doing final valve job.

Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
FYI- my last engine I was shooting for .021 clearance . I based everything on the Felpro to compress to .049 or 1.25mm .

78 280z Thoughts
If you have the money - I would stay EFI . Buy one of the kits that some of these Megasquirt dealers are selling for our cars . Almost plug and play - cleans up your wiring , keep your stock intake and maybe injectors too, plus the pump should be correct .

If you have .026 piston pop out and you use a stock Felpro gasket which is .049 , that gives you .023 . That would be a good number !

Don’t mind sharing my mistakes . I’ve learned reading about others too. It would be easy to blame my cheapy Ebay Perfect Circle old stock rings that gapped bigger than stock, but that’s not the real reason. Can’t expect rings to seal on a sketchy bore. In the end, I’m glad to know why this stuff was happening and not blame it on cheap parts
