Just have to watch for the pot holes when driving around here!

So take a look at this link and tell me what you think? http://rockyauto.co.jp/stockcar/profile.cgi?page=0&key=FAIRLADY%20Z&sort_item=9&sort_mode=4&label=23&hor=3&max=4&tpl=search_f&width=100% One member here had his car sold a few months back and now it is for sale at 3 times the cost with Rocky Auto's stickers all over it and claimed to build it. I guess after the they were called out on it, SpeedHunters came back and said the owner mentioned it was bought and being resold. Here is the SpeedHunters link: http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/04/mixing-it-up-spotlighting-necs-2013/ For sale ad of that car on HybridZ: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/98624-1971-240z-v-8/ I can't read their site but some of the cars I know came from here are in articles in Japan with Rocky Auto all over them. I know we can't do anything about it besides discuss it really but after seeing the video of their shop and their work it made a lot of us thing they were turning out these great cars....lies!

I am near 500 miles on my build also and will be pulling the valve cover too. Interesting to see how the metal has worn in that short time. If you are going to run the spray bar - I have been told to run the turbo oil pump. I am doing this currently so will report back to you maybe this weekend.

Same here - Permatexed mine because I built the 3L block at Rags house. Seriously though I have always seen people use permatex when installing "freeze/core" plugs.

I believe the answer is you have a gas water pump that is cast instead of stamped. Got any pics?

Great to see you got it going! Weather is slowly getting better here. I plan to get the tach working and some time in dialing in the tune with the MJ.

Get better Dan! Next year I think it will be a mod for myself - it was simple easy to install and driving Joe's car a few days ago reminded me how easy it is to make a U-turn! One hand!

Is it running yet?!

Finally getting my butt in gear here. Only because I don't know any better, I am going to start gathering all the parts I need to get powder coated and such before I begin to swap the ls1 next month and try to finsih up the white 260z within that same month. Today I placed an order for the AC parts from Johns Car. I also placed an order for ARP head bolts and gaskets for the head swap. LS2 starter and bolt will be needed when I install the new SS long tube headers. Will update with pics over the next few days.

Owner is fine, car is fine.....all recovered from Sandy and now ready to rock this Summer. Can't wait to get the GoPros out! Joe! Dave!

Mike how did you figure out it was the ground from the crank trigger? Just curious since I am now running a crank trigger signal with the EDIS setup. Glad to hear she is ready to haul a$$ around the track - hoping for a full day of shakedown runs!

Going to be a great summer!

$1200 for a NOS set......nice!

Hahahaha sorry John! These never end up on our side unless it was flooded!

The last 260 2+2 I had has it but I didn't open it up yet to eyeball it, I counted the rotations........I guess I should open it up this Spring. lol

I know there has been talk about if this diff comes in this car: https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/VehicleDetails.aspx?auctionID=13299834&itemID=14302272&RowNumber=26https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/VehicleDetails.aspx?auctionID=13299834&itemID=14302272&RowNumber=26

Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has an AZ CAR kit they were looking to sell. Would like the 6 piston/13inch setup for the fronts but Would consider the 4 piston setup and if you have the rears that is plus. Also would like to know if anyone has the mounting bracket for the 6 piston setup I can borrow if I can not find a kit for sale. I am thinking I can see how different it is from the other mounting bracket and possibly have it made so I can put together my own kit for my car. Thanks!

David the car is looking good so far! Glad they are getting to it finally. Don't feel too bad, remember my 1st track day at WGI back on 2007. 2nd day, last session and same section of the track but I came all the way around!

With some modding yes, I have seen teh 280z plastic one in a 240z

I am keeping the euro 240z tail lights I have on my 71 and going to have them installed on the 74 I picked up. Love the look of the 240z.

What condition are you looking for? A little more detail will help and budget?

Thanks! Will be fun.

David is right, they are never done but this will be the last chassis I use for my v8 swaps.

Perfect thanks! I can't wait until nice weather is here to finish up the car.

Remember I was joking about picking up 260z cars at the same time? http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/111244-evil-z-final-version/
