I need a barbed one.

I resurfaced the head, it was warped. Looking at the EFI to see if it is leaning out too much.

Sorry to ask such a stupid question, I googled right after I posted. I am installing a metal head gasket in an F54/flattops/N47 that has popped twice at the track. I know nothing of these two products, I will do some research and decide which to use. Thanks!

What is copper spray? TonyD, are you saying use Hylomar on the metal head gasket?

Move air from the front ducts to the brakes?

I think it is 10, bought my first Datsun 510 in 1977. Bought my first Z in 79 or 80.

Bob, I just reread this entire thread. Why do we always have too many projects going? I remember sending you emails when you were a mid. I have nothing but awe that you did all this while in the training command. Navy flying life is a time hog. I did it for 20. Your car is gorgeous! I have a similar color but your is a little lighter. It looks great with the black wheels! If I ever get down to CC I will look you up. Fred

I will be there, see you in teh registration room.

ZCON2010.com The ZCCA National Convention is next weekend at Nissan headquarters.

Great to see all of Clive's little boo boos being fixed. I envy all you guys who know how to weld!

Nice job...... you do have a great plan!

As you can tell from my picture I have a set of Z31 axles and I took the differential side cups off a set of Z32 N/A axles. What I don't know is are the splines that the cups slide onto the same between the Z31 and Z32? Also,will the length be correct? I plan on trying this weekend.

Can we just take a Z31 CV axle, take the differential end off and put a Z32 5 bolt end on?

They are one of the top shops in Japan. Everything is extremely well engineered.
