It's been swapped at some point in it's life. ALL '73s have the current triggered tach. The 280Z tach swap is a popular one, so I'm not surprised that it would be swapped in your car. Looking in the...

The only "difficult" part is if you want to retain the OEM tachometer. It's a current triggered tach that requires the ignition feed to the coil to be first connected to the tach and then from there...

For $5K that's a deal.

Sure it's in dire need of improving the exterior looks. But a few cuts here and there and a couple replacement parts and it could look great. Either using OEM S30 parts,...

You just need to get a RHD version. Japan, Australia, much of Europe would be good sources.

I get to the trio gauges by removing the heater control panel.

The bulb in the SW should be a simple incandescent bulb that will interface with the stock wiring without issue. It will dim along...

My car, also a '73 had a leather or vinyl wrap on the steering wheel when I bought it. I have since replaced the wheel with a Momo, but still have that original wheel stored away. It's not like...

The range is 8 ohms full and 90 ohms empty, or something very close to that, as suggested look in the FSM for actual numbers. I tried to quickly find the actual numbers, but didn't find them.

I...

WIN!!

I love it. lol

The ELF touch is good. ;)

Those pictures are NOT from Wangan Midnight. The blue S30 at the wreckers in Wangan Midnight is on the ground, and you see the left side of the car, not the right, though IIRC there is a close up of...

You don't need much of a heatsink, if you need one at all.

When I first swapped to EFI, I retained the dizzy and used a GM ignition module, since I am also using a GM ECM to run everything. I used...

You are wrong, you said the reason I wanted to use the live axle was primarily for drag racing, which is completly incorrect. yes I will be drag racing with my car, but that's not it's primary...

WRONG!!!

My priority IS handling, since the car will spend most of it's life on the street, and only go to 4 to 6 races a year, besides test and tune, in Drag racing form.

IRS is not the end...

When this is said it always bothers me.

I've been in, around and seen MANY straight axles cars go around corners just as well or better than many IRS cars.

The set-up is important to making a...

Mine's also currently outside, parked in front of the garage, at least until I get the suspension back on the truck so I can get it into storage.

SCC wasn't that great anyway. I bought a few issues a few years ago, and wasn't impressed by them, nor any others I looked through at the newstands or that friends had.

It was never about "down a...

Oh my god, The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

So because someone advertised a car for sale, discussed showing said car to a potential buyer, and then had someone else (in the same country,...

A scam to do what? Mike is not out any money or time (other than a couple phone calls).

Please explain this "scam".

Wow, you haven't wasted any time with this car have you? :o

That looks to be a horn. If you look at the one picture that was taken of the spark plug side of the engine, you will see the red mystery item at the bottom of the picture, and has vanes that look at...

My '73 has a straight bar.

The curved bar would be from a later S30 (280Z) with an R200. If I was installing the R200 I have in my garage in my 240, I'd want that bar.



The crossmember...

I'll be more interested in seeing pictures before you cut the dogleg out, to make sure I can use it. If the missing area isn't too much I'll send you a picture outlining where I need cut.

Thanks...

:( It's the driver side dogleg I need. If you can take a couple pictures of the area, I may still be able to use it.

Thanks
:D

Yeah that would be what I need. My car seems to have come in contact with an im-movable object in that area at some point, and has pushed the metal in, which seems to be a cause of a veryy little...

Actually that's the rocker panel.

The dogleg is the part between the back edge of the door, to the wheel well, and down to the bottom of the rocker. I'll draw on a picture of what I'm after later.

I'm interested in the driverside dogleg.

Also what condition is the front bumper in?

Where abouts in Canada are you?
