my uni joint is just a little bit stiff side in one of the axis ( joke's already been had) lurch - do you have make/model/supplier ? or just "10 mm u joint" from skfc/rbc bearings in moorabbin do you need a press to get them out?

i have an L24 long block that i sourced from one of the guys in the forum ( top bloke) that i bought as a spare and looks like i won't need it as my engine build is complete. what's wrong with the spray bar? i have it on my E88 i also have an L28 with i think N42, but i thought i would assemble an original unit. i also read that the L24 block has to be notched for a N42 also looking for a manifold ( i think e36?), which i think is unique to the 240z. 260 i think used a different unit

for rebuild, looking for a complete unit with good cam, pads, etc not overly warped, cracked or corroded pls

if its makes you feel better, they're not as rusty or as bad as my one was hmmmua - psychotic giggle follows

if you decide to part out, i'm in the queue for some ( lots of) parts

all fixed, i got the cams from a wrecker and it all works like a charm can't believe they were missing from both the seats must be hard to get part

should have been clearer. need the rubber hose sizes for engine and tank side

had a search thru the forum, but still not clear there are 2 x sizes - large and small steel pipe diameter is approx 5 and 8mm smaller hose looks like 4mm inside and 11mm outside - looks like 3/16? bigger hose 6mm/15mm - 1/4? that's the hose that runs to the carbs also thanks

got the book. that's why the title says "double checking". its my first L rebuild, so slow is good on this one dave, you're right about the piston, i'll need to spin in over

thanks, ignition timing yet to come does it have the be slightly to the left?

if it is, then its good news cause i haven't missed anything i remember the engine guy telling me that the the head had dropped valve seats maybe its a souvenir haha

can anyone help me identify this part? so far, i have just about finished the engine, but this has been sitting in parts box https://www.flickr.com/photos/62957688@N08/24430263600/in/datetaken/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/62957688@N08/24358135519/in/datetaken/ it looks like a plain steel collar with a bevelled edge i have absolutely no idea where it came from, by just hope to chris i haven't missed anything first i thought it was a spacer between the chain and the oil pump drive, but it doesn't have the cutout for the key cam? distributor?

my rebuild is going along nicely this w.end, got the crank, pistons and the head done https://www.flickr.com/photos/62957688@N08/24097470454/in/datetaken/ (that color is NOT green, its the chrysler pale blue - close match to the datsun) now for the cruicial task - valve timing i understand the the L engines ( unlike toyotas) are interference engines, which means get the timing wrong and say good bye to all your new shiny bits 1. no#1 piston TDC, evidenced by the keys pointing straight up 2. cam dowell against the mark just to the left of the top cam plate bolt 3. shiny chain link on the timing mark https://www.flickr.com/photos/62957688@N08/24699423266/in/datetaken/ ( my chain came only with one shiny link 4. v mark on the plate mark. https://www.flickr.com/photos/62957688@N08/24632105851/in/datetaken/ there are some comments on a bit to the left, bit to the right - this one is spot on 5. now just bolt on the chain kit and the sprocket bolt? after that i was just going to spin it by hand a few revolutions. if it all moves freely, i take it i'm in the clear

has anyone actually been past his place recently ? i'm in melb and i find it a bit difficult to work out what this bloke actual has, esp. for s.hand parts can someone take some phots of what he's got sitting on his racks?

just got some seat covers and yeah hard work, had to follow up multiple times

how much are they asking for the paint job?

i got a rear 1/2 shell they can eyeball

i do try to do a search first, but find the search on this site has a 50% chance of success. perhaps the new software has a better search engine?

does anyone know what happened to this?

can u take a couple of pics pls is it factory or after market dealer? i thought the originals are all hitachi?

by the way, do you have pics of where all the holes and brackets are?

i can do $500 shipped if its all complete and the condenser and radiator don't have obvious holes

how much are you looking for?

looking for complete or partial components eg condenser, housing bolt on , controls, wiring, sensors, etc. not fussed on the compressor as a believe most people replace them with new ones for the new gas type i believe the auz cars got the factory hitachi air, but am not sure
