SZ do all their builds with OEM gaskets.

In your opinion, why are Cometic head gaskets better than OEM?

How far beyond the holes does the rusted metal extend? Assuming your are still going cut back to good metal and replace with welded in new sections in the Spring, then you could as a temporary measure cover with galvanised sheet metal and pop rivet in place. Then apply waxoyl/dinitrol type products to seal and protect over winter.

What is the name of the retailer?

I asked because my AP discs with straight grooves are mounted the other way round to get the vanes pointing to the rear.

What make of disc are they?

A very nice choice if I may say so...

You mean these holes on each side? If so, they have a rubber blanking grommet fitted from the factory.

Nice article of the Steve Millan's IMSA 300ZX 1994 racing season recently published in Autoweek. http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/steve-millens-imsa-300zx-and-his-dream-season-1994 The Watkins Glen crash described in the article involving Millan's 300ZX, his teammate O'Connell's 300ZX and another car is recorded here. You can draw your own conclusions as to their luck and the race organisation. [video=youtube_share;qf_8NjIIp4Q]

The bracket which fixes to the door pillar is held in place by screws to another bracket which is itself pop riveted to the door card. The pop rivit heads are under the door card vinyl skin, so would be more difficult to deal with.

Thanks for sharing these pictures Adam. My condolences to his family and friends.

Best wishes on your Birthday!

Très jolie!

Hopefully you won't have to see that view again! Looking at the spark plug projection into the combustion chamber, what plugs are they?

You learn something new every day, thanks for that.

They have never confused mine.

What do you mean by "as soon as the caps are back in place"?

Pre '94 models have two bleed nipples on the ABS unit. Make sure you follow bleed order and procedure as per FSM: http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/br/005.gif The bleed nipples are next to pipes marked FR, FL (front pair) and B (back).
