MAXIMA STRUTS

Went to the junkyard today, looking for an L20b to take apart. The last time I was there, there was an L20b in the lot, and the time before that there were two of them. Today? None. I still haven't found an appropriate timing chain... but I might have one handy in my collection. Not sure...
I did, however, manage to pick up a pair of front struts off an early Maxima, which I believe are the same as the Z-car... which means I get to upgrade my front brakes -- larger discs, larger calipers. Hopefully it fits... I've got 30 days to try it out to see if it'll work. If not, I can return the parts to the junkyard. Very cool.
In the meanwhile, here are some other pictures of stuff:
L18 engine I'm taking out of my 510:
Frankenmotor I'm building:
My 510 without an engine. So sad.
