E30 BMW seats must be easier ( I did read the Dime Quarterly article years ago...), but I found some nice E36 seats for my '73, and the bases on them are so tall I had to mount them to the floor without the 510 seat pedestals.  Had to make ups separate mounts for each corner to level it out with the floor height differences.

M16 would be extremely unusual size for for a brake fitting thread.  Even modern cars rarely use larger than 12, and 14 is possible on power steering fittings.

Is there a bushing missing from the master cylinder that should have the actual m10 x 1.0 thread for the line?

Cam towers are not that big a deal.  The process is to install them on the head with the camshaft with the bolts snug.  Then you can hit them with a rubber mallet to settle them until the cam turns freely.  Fully tighten them, then check again.  I have had to do this a few times and it works.

Typical cylinder head stuff like replacing seats, guides, etc., and doing a valve job should be considered even if you buy a different used head.  Unless you get something already done, no guarantee it might not need the same work.

Just like the active-aero air brake a few pages back, this is very unlikely to ever happen... but I still gots to know.

 

What do you think about running the livery from the Pink Pig Porsche 917 on the Dajiban?

 

Or a whale, but then you will need a whale tail on the roof.

That one on ebay is in Greece, so the free shipping is a huge factor in the high cost.

I have a bunch of Z22 truck parts, including a distributor and coils.  If you can show me what you need, I may have one for you.

Rare coupe hood vents that are just style no function.

Oh, to go with your "coupe" grille emblem?  😉

Rear window for what? No info, no answer!

Presuming as did TJ above that it is for a 510, as that is the section it is under.

I like the door trim.  I am hoping to replicate the early door panel pattern in stitching since repro versions of the early type are not available.  

Replicate the torsion bar with larger diameter to increase the spring force.

Pretty substantial brackets for the fan mounting.  Are they welded to the radiator body at the top and bottom?  That's what I seem to see at the bottom.

I don't have anything that needs these.  Maybe put them on my lawnmower?

Banks won't lend him money and that's the reason he had to inflate his worth. 

Completely untrue in this situation.  His organization and the banks negotiated about the values of collateral for loans, which were made, and then all were paid back.  No defaults, no rejection of loan requests, no victim, no fraud.  Maybe you can explain why NY feels the need to get into complaining about business deals in which the parties had no issues themselves.  I sell you something, you agree to the price, you pay, I give you the goods.  Consideration accomplished, thus a valid contract.  Why should the state of NY care?

Those are nicer than a set I had done by a professional upholsterer for a different vehicle years ago.

A few things to watch for.  The L16 manifold will readily fit the L20B cylinder, presuming that it is a rectangular port head.  Datzenmike will likely chime in and say it will fit a round port head as well, which it will bolt up, but not the best combination.

Given the L20B block is taller, the manifold will end higher above the exhaust collector pipe, and connecting them may lead that exhaust pipe to hit the front floor/lower firewall.

Also due to the height, you may have contact with the hood from either the valve cover, or air cleaner.  You did not mention what air cleaner assy or carb you plan to run.

These all generally can be worked around with modifications, as thousands have done over the years.

I think I have watched about every interesting 510 video this winter.  Need to turn it off and work in the garage (which is 34 degrees today).

They live in a blue bubble and they're ok with that. 

There is a famous quote from some New York socialite/dignitary (can't recall exactly who) that was uttered after the 1972 election where Nixon won in one of the largest landslide victories ever:  "I don't now how he was elected, I don't know anyone who voted for him".  That's most likely somewhat of a paraphrase, but point remains the same about a bubble.

She had stacks of cash at least 6 months of living expense, but she was extremely broke at the same time she testified later on ha ha ha ha.

 

She is a fucking hostile witness lol..

 She has a race guard, err I mean card. 

I wonder where all the cash came from?  Couldn't be Open Society could it?  

Good call on removing the balance shafts.  I have done that on all the 4G63 engines I have built.  

Is it a screw-on oil cap, or twist-in?  I have replaced just the gaskets on Mitsu screw-in caps before to fix the oil leak.

Yes, 8x1.25. Didn't get a length, but I can.

 

I am now thinking they were used on the giant CVs, not the driveshaft, but they work for driveshafts because I've used them there.

OK, probably right.  I tried checking that bolt yesterday in the NIssan system and spec book, and could not match up those characteristics and part number with what Mike listed.  I will check that CV bolt. 

I can see they would work as they appear to be shoulder bolts, other than the comment above on the flange size as there is limited space around the u-jt flange..

Clean find.  I have thought about one of those a few times, but nothing up here in the north.

Those are 8 x 1.25?  Underhead length?

So are they 280ZX strut and spindle assemblies already?  The MK63 bolt directly to those.  Is that how they are mounted?

I have a pair of Koni race front strut inserts BNIB I would consider selling if you are interested in those as Carrera replacements.  They should fit 280ZX strut housings.  

Is it still running and L16?  I have various parts for those around if you need something.  

Except the shifter is going to have to be shifted by a rear seat passenger.  Unless you remove and modify that rear extension.  71C already moves the shifter back substantially from stock and requires raising the tunnel.
