There was a thread on here a while back that said about five minutes was all that was needed.

I agree with blackice280zxt, the most important thing is to have a shell as close to rust free as possible; that is the foundation after all. Whether or not it is worth $1200 is entirely up to the person that will, or won't, pay that. I personally would offer $800, considering what you have described.

Yea, the craigslist link is dead as well.

Is his yard like a pick and pull self service, or like standard junkyards?

I have heard a lot of people complain about progressives methods as well as their settlements.

Let me guess its geico
Mine or theirs? Mine was, and still is, State Farm. Of course everything varies from state to state and incident to incident. The key thing is to know your rights and not be taken advantage of.

best of luck to you. Enjoy it and congratulations.

From working on projects in the past all I can say is plan, plan, plan; and then plan for the unexpected. Don't let time dictate what you want to do, have an idea of what you want to accomplish and wait until you have the funds to do it. If you don't you will only regret it in the end.

lesson learned I guess.

I got mine off of amazon. Pretty good resource, not a detailed how to, but a great read for the overall theory and basic applications broken down by category. Worth having in my opinion
Checked out amazon, really reasonable prices. Thanks.

Couldn't you take the housing off and take that to the locksmith; he should be well versed in removing the cylinder?

Always know what you are getting into, don't get burned. And, like Murphy's law, even though I knew I was buying a parts car, for a great deal, the 280ZXT I wanted became available shortly after I bought the parts car; short on funds.
-
If the car is truly rust free then you already have one of the hardest parts to come by. If you are wanting to drive the car right away and repair or restore it a little at a time then you would definitely want to make sure the car is safe to drive; otherwise a lot depends on how deep you want to go into a restoration.

An EFI tank will also have a return line, I am not sure if a carburetor tank will have one or not. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I went through something similar with my wifes car and the other guys insurance company. They were trying to lowball me on the actual value of the car. I was able to prove the value of the car, not via NADA or Kelly Bluebook, but via autotrader. I collected about five or six ads for cars of the same year and model with similar options and mileage in my area. In the end I was able to prove actual value in my area and got what we paid for the car just two weeks prior. Don't let the insurance company jerk you around. If it is the other drivers fault, and he admitted so, then they should replace the car for current actual value. I never heard of this 60% crap except when replacing parts designed to wear out, like struts and such. Whenever I get in a situation involving insurance companies, and yes, it has been a few times, I always talk to my agent for advice, when there is another insurance company involved. If you don't have an agent you feel comfortable dealing with you should get another one; mine knows me on a first name basis.

I have a rear hatch and glass from a 75. I think you called me earlier in the week; story sounds the same. Anyway, I still have the parts if you need them.

I'm pretty sure mine are some type of Recaro's. I bought them here, off a member.

very clean and sporty look, the red mag lite is a nice touch as well.

Looks great, and sounds pretty easy to do.
-
I also forgot to mention car-part.com Its a listing website used by junkyards nation wide.
-
Do you have a part number for the book, is that available through Nissan? Sorry for the noob question but I am a little new to the older Nissans/Datsuns.
-
mythbusters, thats where I saw the nucleation segment with the coke and mentos.
-
This link should prove helpful.
-
craigslist might also have what you need. I have seen some 280ZXTs locally listed for under $1000. You pull the engine and sell the rest to cover the cost.
-
This strikes me as being similar to the concept of nucleation. I have seen this put to the test in soda and beer. The dropping mentos into soda and then it spontaneously releasing all the carbonation held within the liquid may be along those lines. Also, some beer glasses have laser etchings on the bottom to release carbonation into the liquid. Maybe this applies here, maybe not, but it is very interesting. I wonder if there is any more research to support this guys theory, or if it is just his best assumption.

What about rust in the tank being sucked up when the fuel demand is greater? Also, no spark? Did you take a look at the plugs, wires, and distributor? Check the coil, as these can go bad as well.
