I ordered a decal I needed to complete the restoration of my 240Z to have it ready for a show and it never arrived. The item was sent with no tracking information so there was no way for me or Zeddsaver to track the delivery. My order was placed on June 6th. By June 16th still no delivery of my decal so I contacted Zeddsaver and asked them to resend the item since it had not arrived. instead I received a cash refund which does not help me one bit! I still need the decal to complete my restoration. Zeddsaver put this item in the mail and just assumed that it would arrive at my location. I am very dissatisfied with the level of customer support I received from Zeddsaver!! D…

For anyone who has looked at or bought the Recaro LX seats from ebay seller michikogoodproduct, this information about removing the headrests could come in handy: https://passionford.com/forum/ford-escort-rs-turbo/237664-remove-headrest-from-recaro-seats.html My order took the slow boat from Thailand to save shipping costs -- about 2 1/2 months -- but they arrived today and my first impression is very good. These are used Recaros that have been re-covered. Love the factory retro look -- the material and workmanship seem good quality. Still need the Wedge brackets to complete the install, but I'm freshly motivated! https://www.ebay.com/sch/michikogoodproduct/…

I am planning a major guage upgrade on #6333. Does anyone have experience installing and the results of DEFI guages? The oriental companies either don't understand my message or they are trying to protect their trade secrets. In my opinion this is porobably the single best upgrade to the interior appearance. Responses welcome. Thanx.

Hey all, started to work on Megasquirt tuning. Currently my fuel/air ratio's are way to rich. It would take about 30sec with the garage door to earn you wings. . if you know what I mean. Stopping at a light in traffic could turn you green. My car is a 1976 Datsun 280Z. The engine is a L28 out of a 82 280ZX turbo completely rebuilt with a new turbo. The air/fuel ratio was running in the 16.5 to 18 range at idle(800rpm's) Cough Cough. What level should I be at? I have seen on some U-tube videos that they run between 10 and 13. At the same time, what temp should the engine be running at? 160? 170? 180? We tinkered with it a little, the following screenshot was where we were …

I'm installing a vacuum pump to supply the brake booster with vacuum, it came with a sensor that detects low vacuum that triggers power to the the vac pump. I'm not at all sure if this sensor requires power to make it work or if it simply supplies power to the pump by a switch that is activated by low vac. Anyone have experience with these kinds of sensors? Thanks, Chris

This bmw engine I'm putting in the Z doesn't lend it self to taking vacuum from it for the brake booster so have been thinking about using a 12v vacuum pump to do the job. Hella makes a pump that seems to be used a lot in Volvo, VW and Audi but I have zero experience with these things. I'm not even sure how much vacuum is required by our brake boosters and I have read a few times in the archives of Hybridz of guys doing away with the vacuum assist altogether. Any advice is welcome,

I will be running MS in my Z, it won't be on a Nissan engine but it is a fuel injected straight six. Wondering if there is anyone in the membership who is fluent in the MS lingo that I can bounce some issues around with. I am on one of the MS forums but they don't have a lot of time for newbies stumbling their way through. Thanks, Chris
