Checking cam spec, look for information which cam start having internal oiler. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm This site does not mention oil hole. I found information that '78 cam comes with internal oiler hole, but I'm not sure "E30" stamp on the cam tells something or not for the identification. I'm not sure just using internal oiler cam with later cam tower works OK or not...

After drain oil, I opened up valve cover. I expected camshaft might be rusted after 10 years. Luckily, inside of valve cover is rust free! Once thing I'm wondering... My head is N42. I thought N42 has oil spray tube on cam tower, but this head does not have it. This cam tower could be comes from N47 or later. But is it OK to combine different with them?

Thanks Bill, Leon, Here is small update. Before fire up engine, I did basic fluid replacement. Engine oil & filter change (5 qt for $15.99 @ Pepboy) Antifreeze coolant change (10 qt for $14 @ Pepboy) I bought cheapest oil since this is just testing purpose. I learned that Pepboy mobile coupon is really handy and beat the price from any other auto parts shop. Next, gasoline change. Drain 10 years old gas... Oh, man! She pees a lot! Make appointment for the hazardous recycle. http://www.sccgov.org/sites/deh/HMCD/Household%20Hazardous%20Waste%20Home/Pages/County-of-Santa-Clara-Household-Hazardous-Waste-Program-Home.aspx Buy small portable gas tank and pump fresh new gas at gas station.

I just picked up 1975 280z. Body condition was amazingly good and minimum rust. Only small dent on the passenger's side of the door and fender. The goal for this project is phased project. 1. To run the engine 2. Fix minor rust 3. 240z bumper and tail light conversion 4. Fuel injection to Triple weber swap. 5. Paint the car Let's see how much progress I can make monthly...

Welcome to Z forum. What is your goal for your dream z? And your affordable budget for it?

Thanks for posting video! I did not know license plate lights are different from 280z and 240z.

Isn't it easier just buy clear lens and paint inside?

Techno Toy is also. https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/240z/mustache-bar-datsun-240z-260z-280z

PMed. thanks, tamo3

Just got 280z. I would like to convert tail light for 240z style. I have a good pair of 240z tail lights, but not surrounding panels. Looks like this. (center piece is missing on this image) Let me know if you have a extra spare sets.

Looks awesome car! Which engine are you going to put it in?

You can purchase heater hose Coupling, clamp, and hose at local Auto parts shop less than $20 total. I bought them at O'Reilly Auto.

When I fix my starter, my heater hose start leaking too. I just cut the cracked part and replace for temporary fix until I restore entire heater system.

Is this how Tony D resurface head? I'm thinking about bring my N42 head to http://www.davescylinderheads.com/.

Looks nice set up. How is your holding feeling with the length with NRG 2.5 Gen quick release?

Thanks jdizzy204. Good luck find good 240z! Recent update. Just order rear rear "Rear Panel Upper Top Repair Insert" from MSA before holiday discount is over. Regular price is $149.96 and current price is $134.96. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/SBC1C02/30-7291

You can measure the width of your diff to find out whether it's R180 or R200. R180 is 195mm and R200 is 230mm.
