• So much work, so little time. I figured out the end gap issue on my motor, progress slowly continues.
I also realize when I was working on a d16 head this past week that I made an error on the assembly, might have to go back to the bike, and pull off certain parts.
How goes the projects? There was a Datsun swap meet in San Jose anyone go?

So I found another 1971 series 1 at a scrapyard here in town and picked it up for $400. Not a whole lot left of it but it has a 5spd and a supposedly rebuilt L24 (rebuilt who knows how long ago) with no miles on it
...
I put some 240 tail lights into my 280. so that's cool I guess. I just like the more retro look.

Those DOT approved bumpers tho...
I hate you
Just about picked this uo the other day, the guy sold it to someone else before i could get there
Only wanted $250, no motor, working trans, 2 extra doors, 3 front fenders and a few other parts
I'm trying to sell an L26 on CL. I don't mean to advertise, so I won't post the link unless asked, but I only gave my cell# for call or text contact info. Someone texted me, asking me to email them. Should I just block them? Or do you think it could be legit?

260z resto guy here....
Unfortunately with my project the 280zx 5 speed decided to shit itself and now its coming out for a rebuild. They are hard enough to find around here that a rebuild is better than another risky junkyard/ebay replacement. Was a bummer, it decided to stop shifting into 1st and 3rd intermittently on Sunday during a large cruise to Mt. Evans. OH WELL, while the trans is getting dropped, I'll be taking the diff out, and replacing all the seals, new speedo cable and I'll clean/paint the diff too. Turns out the prev. owner did a proper swap and slid a R180 LSD diff out of a STI, neat.
nothing ventured, nothing gained. Up to you.
Though I've contacted/communicated with buyers using all three forms of communication - all worked out so far.
It'll be for sale once I'm done saving it :^)
I need to get a real spoiler
how about a bumper first
a nice bumper would look better
i still haven't figured if i want to fill in the holes and keep no bumper or if i want to put on the 240 bumper
What's protocol on posting your own CL ads in the threads relevant for them? I'd MUCH rather sell my engine to a /ddt/ individual who I know will use it than to anyone else.
And there we go...
Hello again old friend, didn't think we'd meet again so soon.
I know that feeling all too well. I kept mine in for less than a week before ripping it back out... and now I've got another one to pull from rusty yellow up there.
Throw it up in here, I don't think anyone will mind.
I'm scared to put this motor back together >.>

It should be apparent to you, but besides maintenance, that car has been customized heavily. That means it'll take longer to get to your preferred level.
Also, early Zs have a proclivity to rust like a motherfucker. Check the frame all over, but especially just behind the front wheels, and all exterior panels.
