The 510 Realm

The North American '65-'70 311 Roadster, '77-'78 280z, '77-'79 620, '80 720, '78-'80 810 all used a steel 5th gear synchronizer. 32361-20100 This is a piston ring shape with a gap and is not at all like the brass ones with the tiny gear teeth on them. https://i.imgur.com/VjHPWHg.jpg No idea if this ...

Using drop blocks does not change the shock absorber length. Re arching the leaf springs will compress a shock absorber to some degree and make bottoming out easier to do so always increase the springs rate to compensate for this. I can't see a car maker designing a car that would bottom out the sho...

It's an electronic distributor in that the points are removed and it's solid state switching but it's not a higher output like the L series EI matchbox. Uses a stock 3 ohm or 1.5 ohm coil plus 1.5 ohm ballast resister. Still it's better than fiddling with points or no distributor at all. I wonder if...

J15 engine and solid axle/leaf spring rear and probably drum brakes. Parts should be available south of the border.

Longer pitman arm would make the steering 'quicker' but at the cost of more effort to turn the wheel. (it may also be almost unnoticeable depending on the length difference) If it positioned the driver's side steering rod higher or lower it might affect the bump steer but only on that one side as th...

I can't see it.

Very well, retired now, no longer have 620 but have had a 710 goon for 10 years. Your daughters must be all grown up by now. Time flies.

Jason? Jason Wong???

We got Z20, Z22 and Z24 engines but I know elsewhere there were Z18s. (I suspect they were L18 blocks with Z heads on them) There was even a Z18ET. All Z series engines are cross flow and designed for low emissions at low speeds so there is not a lot of power over 4-5K and the design can't be improv...

Here's me, another dinosaur. Keith has dinosaur status I think. It's my birthday today. Some things I embrace like being retired but f/b I never will.

I am set up for e transfer. Took forever to figure it out.

I have a friend in Norway? Bjorn-Einar Otteson who wishes to view and read content. Can't do either. Has an old account? but can't get in. Needs to reset his password or something. I've asked for help for the last 4 and a half months but it goes nowhere. Talked to him two days ago and he's about to ...

Thanks for sharing. I've seen on the Canadian parries (winter) and in southern Ontario. (again in the winter)

West of CR in Gold River got snow yesterday. Nice 10C here in the Comox Valley. Bright but overcast.

Try Nissan. 32354-A7400 used through '78 and changed in '79 to 32534-A7400 depending on vehicle. The original did sometimes loosen and you loose 5th. My '79 zx 5 speed I tightened (just to be sure) and it turned maybe 3/16" but I'm sure it was right hand. This would make sense as the left turni...
