Compressor main drive coupling, Sullair 24KT, 350HP...

95 Octane 10% Gasahol, or 93 Octane Unleaded?
Owners manual says "Don't use fuels containing over 5% Ethanol..." Put a full tank in and found out why (absorption of moisture from ambient humidity!!!)
So 47 pesos a litre 93 Unleaded for me, unless I can find out which station is brokering that 100 Octane Premium Performance Fuel from the tanker I see around occasionally. I hear it's 63 pesos a litre!
Right now, 43P=$1 US

I got a note, all is well with the builder. He is actually the second owner, buying the car as a brokered deal from the original owner in 1972 (remember 6-month waiting lists?) apparently someone placed a speculative order in 1971, took delivery specifically to flip the car upon delivery.
Selling as he is now reworking his Olds 442, driveline of which is for sale as he's "going bigger"!
I'm glad he's building something else, and has not croaked!
I highly doubt a 2000GT done up like this would bring what a true original restoration would bring. Jamie's Bond Ejection Seat Model the notable exception.
I say it's "fortunate" they haven't taken off in value.

I used mine to tow Z's, I may do this setup for the fat-bumper turbo 260 2/2...
I towed my Corvair with it, he'll I used it for pulling fence posts and dragging downed trees.
Never underestimate the use of a Z-Car with a trailer hitch as the TRUE original SUV!!!
Most any car I'll flat-tow another of same configuration. I've been doing that with VW's and Corvairs since the tail end of the 70's! Z's ate no different, you just have to be reasonable. You start cooking at 80mph across the deserts because it's flat, and you can.... That R180 is gonna get REAL hot! Frankly, the differential is the suckiest point on the car...put a cooler on it, and you're set!
Oh, and run real, full synthetic!

I tend to think JeffP would be able to use one of these on his 79 Coupe Drag Car...

Incomplete information up front wastes everybody's time.
Put what you want in there, it's been beat to death it won't make a shite bit of difference in your application.
Unless, of course you're playing more games and withholding more information.

Sign the delivery attempted slip, and leave instructions where to leave it.
Solved.

Passenger's footwell area. . . Dedicated track car can have a once in 1,000 hours use passenger move their feet a bit! "There is no best" but accumulators do tend to like the pistons oriented vertically with the outlet down... This absolutely puts any entrained air furthest from any injected outlet point, but with a dash in the car that can be difficult to attach (brackets of the front roll cage upright. )
No real reason to put it further in the rear of the car, tubing hassles/losses.
Need your glovebox???

Newbie indeed...
"Reading is fundamental"!
Not only was it covered, Whineosaurus, in another thread very specific temperatures, on an instrumented dyno test bed, were offered up as a reason not to "loop" it.
We're not here to spoon the Honeycombs till your project is completed and all your questions are answered.
Once we answer it a few times, we kinda expect some due diligence on your part to help yourself to. The knowledge base already put there by us, several times, in several ways, in several forums....
Apparently Groening is on a similar wavelength as I!
I think back to the Brain-Sacs from 50's B-Movies on WKBD 50 in the 70's on Ghoulardi's show, actually...

I could use a helping hand getting it to either of Newark NJ, Baltimore MD, Charleston SC, Brunswick GA if i where to buy it(obviously to the closest port).
Need some papers with it(title) as well.
The closest port is Seattle! Or LosAngeles. Or Oakland. There is absolutely no eason to Trans-ship the car to the east coast for shipment to Europe. The cost is cheaper to ship from west coast port than the Trans-shipping to East Coast USA!
Frank280ZX & I generally ship to Rotterdam a container in April. Six cars $3,500 TOPS, but packing stuff is around $100 per car and you gotta have someone to pack it. A shipping company can do it. For $1,000-1,300 and in some cases come pick it up within a given distance from the port.
Peter Smits Global (?) a part of CRS handles individual cars when we only need to ship one. The 85 Mercedes 380 SEL we shipped in April has been reprinted and went through Dutch Inspection three weeks ago. Top down cruising till the end of summer as planned!
Don't limit your shipping options to he east coast, you CAN ship out. Of SEA-TAC easily!

It says only two owners. The photos are in the Original Owner's Driveway, I wonder who the seller actually is...
This may be a convenience transfer for commission brokerage and liability separation (welcome to Southern California!)

That's what I was thinking as well, a strong spring on the plate and something like door weatherstripping should seal well enough....
Why don't you use a CL3 Plate mount? You can install the drop hitch with a 2" Receiver to stick it into.
As probably the only other guy in the world with a CLIII 2" Receiver we are equally diseased...
My dually has a similar hidden hitch receiver behind the plate, but it's CLIV and the CHP didn't like the 'plate thrown in the bed' so I ended up having one of those Vinyl Sticker Places replicate my truck's plate in Vinyl and I applied it to my trailer above the Trailer Plate. I have been stopped several times by the CHP to see HOW I attached my plate (and they saw the license plate tossed in the bed...) and then wanted to know how I got the vinyl sticker made as they thought it was a great idea. "Never can read a tow vehicle plate when I drive by anyway, but I could see you didn't have one!"

Xnke never asked about RX7 Oil Coolers from me... LOL

Job interviews really turn bizzare when the interviewer stops cold and says: "Excuse me, Forklift? Did you just say you had your own Forklift?"
I THINK the ability to unload up to 5,000# at my personal residence and break down parts pallets for several jobs each month was a primary reason I was hired at one company!
When I went into the office for training on Policies and Procedures people kept coming up saying "You're the new guy....the one with his own Forklift?"
No, I'm the other new guy, the one with his own Wind Tunnel!
LOL

Not a damn thing, I drank a bottle of Tanduay Rhum with some friends, instead.

I knew about it being posted for some time. I don't know why he's selling, I hope health issues or death has not befallen the original builder. I have not gotten the story around why it's up for sale, I was sort of shocked it was, given his history with the car. I would only see those two (and likely one) causing this, as he went through a Quad Bypass and didn't sell it as I recall!

JeffP meant what he said, he just mis-stated the Dash Number.
He was over 500RWHP with the stock 5/16" feed, and 1/4" return line.
When he updated, it was to 1/2" (-8) Feed and 3/8" (-6) Return of 0.035" wall T304L Stainless Steel which he used my Swagelock Benders (Thank You "Cost-Plus" Contracts!)
This dropped 1 Bar(G) off his static pressure at the rear of the car at maximum flow, as I recall.

Not sure if I follow you here, how do you do that? I have checked timing, its around 10 degrees
How did you determine your timing was 10 degrees with a rotor 180 out?
In fact, on a reluctor-based timing system, how did you check your timing without a timing light?
I'm curious.... good to hear you got it running, but I'm questioning your setups integrity.

The 81 unit is a distributor.
The 82/83 is properly referred to as a "CAS Unit" with the additional fact that the distributor cap is integral with it...
The 81 uses a standard distributor drive as angularity of up to 30 degrees is acceptable.
The 82/83 uses a spline-drive unit as angularity must be within 1/2 a degree as the CAS returns a 360 degree count to the ECCS ECU

Take your grease seal into a bearing house, and they will measure inner diameter, outer diameter, width, and lip style...and give you the same seal.
But knowing these dimensions you can specify a seal wider or narrower in width to move the wear point if you wish...or like me find the widest seal that will fit in the allotted space, and then double up on the lip seals for extra water intrusion protection.
These are standard things, lay money you will find an NSK part number on that Nissan Seal.
When you do the Tripod Axle Conversion, this is how you get the proper seal to fit the early housing with the later axle.

Yes, it is the same for all 2+2 S30's.

Good, reinforce it...move the failure to something that's easier to access, like an axle or drive stub!
