Yes it is.

<sigh> Try as I might, I can not see any redeeming value to either of those. I guess I am hopelessly old school.

Glad to hear it! I feel like I had a vested interest in this, what witht eh alternator adapter being involved and all. Pleased to hear that all is now well.

It looks like a previous owner has added a relay to the circuit that energizes the solenoid. No idea why someone would do that, as the solenoid itself is just a big relay. The fusible link is just a special wire, which connects to the same lug on the solenoid as the positive battery cable does - it is about 6 inches long and plugs into the harness. In your picture, it is black, looks like to me.

I don't have any of my timing covers off right now to look at them, but I think that bolt goes through what should be a sealed passage. So I don't think it should leak unless either a.) the timing cover is cracked where that bolt goes through; or b.) there is something preventing the timing cover from sealing properly against the front surface of the block.

Not in any form I recognize from the brochure, kats. Isuzu had no market presence at all in the US until General Motors re-badged their compact pickup as the Chevrolet LUV in 1972.

What a great idea, Brian, using an inner socket for the pivot! That should work slick for track use.

I have to admit that since there are a fair number of club members here in Oregon and Washington, that I have had the pleasure to meet a number of you in person. I've been involved in automobile hobbies for over 3 decades, and in all that time, this is the first club/group where I have actually found new friends - not just acquaintances. We up here in the Pacific NW are fortunate to have many active members in a relatively small region. Unfortunately the "share a drink over the Internet" choice applies in so many cases. I'm truly sorry that there are many of you - whose knowledge and personalities I enjoy - that I will likely never have the chance to meet in person. Related to that is the "withdrawal when the site is down" choice. I don't post here as often as I did a while back when I was really new, nor do I read every thread anymore, but when the site is down I find myself clicking my bookmark frequently, hoping that it will soon be back. And it's not just the cars, it's the people.

The "JWL" logo is generally an indication of a decent quality wheel though, even if they're not Panasports.

Any markings on the backside?

Before I eBay one of them, I thought I'd ask here. I've got two owner's manuals for late '71 240Zs, both in decent-but-not-great condition. Does anyone have one for a Series 1 240Z that they'd like to trade? Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Yeah, wheels are one of the things I'd want most off those cars, the ones on the blue car are great.While we're talking eBay and wheels, get a load of this one - those things were garbage when I (reluctantly) sold them back in the late 70's and early '80s! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RIMS-CHROME-WIRE-BASKET-14-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-280Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ140748QQihZ008QQitemZ180020890049QQrdZ1

I took enough grief on the second one, even knowing that it'll be hauled off and crushed when I'm done with it. Five? Not a chance.

I'd be surprised if the lot of 5 sells. The buyer would need to be relatively local, have someplace to put them, have access to a trailer/flatbed, and be willing to buy a bunch of unknown cars. Might be a good way to start a small Z recycling business, but it's probably going to be a tough sell. There's parts on them I'd like to have though, so if anyone here takes them on, let me know.

Will, don't share that info! That's how I get my best buys on eBay too! Typos ROCK!

Hadn't thought about excluding sellers, but it's not a bad idea. Might work better than my normal filter does, or the two might work well in tandem. My filter includes some of the same type of things, plus a few things I'm not interested in. -baseball -diamond -projector -leather -antenna -tokico -nology -weber In other words - no baseball caps, wierd headlights, antennas, tokico shocks, nology plug wires or Weber carbs. Even so, my results are typically 14-17 pages.

Well kats, HLS30-12746 (10/70) has the "tapered long leg" mirror. (No red dot, of course.) But HLS30-27602 (4/71) has the short leg mirror. So the change was apparently between those dates.

You're right, Chris. I should have figured out the backspace myself. Not like me when it comes to wheels. Must have been tired last night.Go for them Mike.

Those little Hondas are not very common here in the states, especially a right-hooker. Can't remember the last time I saw one. Probably 20 years, at least. Pretty significant model, as it was Honda's first mass-marketed automobile. http://www.hondas600.com/ http://www.highwayone.com/Classifieds/Honda/02caae.html http://www.microcarmuseum.com/tour/honda-s600.html

$88 from Courtesy Nissan. Your local Nissan dealer might match that price as well. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=17208-S3074

Offset seems a touch high, everything else is OK. Might need spacers to keep them from rubbing on the strut tubes.

Both of my '71's have the monster-sized caps too. The MSA catalog shows '70-76 as all the same. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/SFC05/11-3221

Your best bet for this type of question is to visit HybridZ.org as those folks do this kind of thing all the time.

In the early cars, I don't believe there is any difference between auto and manual driveshafts. I used the auto driveshaft with my Type A four speed when I converted. Do you think you need an early (short) driveshaft, Dave? I should have a spare one soon. Can't vouch for the condition of the u-joints, you'd probably want to replace them.

No Enrique, you were right the first time, the sender provides a decreasing resistance to ground as the pressure rises. I have tested mine that way to verify that.
