Probably bad bushings. Think I already said this before.

Too easy. Still a ton of work to do. Good luck.

In other words, real people are controlling the chatbots. Things will probably get weird when they figure out to set the chatbots free to "converse" at will on these forums, without a handler. Or, conspiracy theory, Mike is using the forum to train chatbots, or is renting the forum out to a chatbot developer. You never know. I've seen many job advertisements for positions to train chatbots. Hard to really understand what the long-term goal is.

They are proliferating like cancer out there. Metastasizing. WhatIs27 of the best large language models in 2025Large language models are driving AI hype in 2025. Learn which ones to follow.

I don't think that these are "bots". I think that they are real people using one of the large language model programs, like ChatGPT. Testing them out to see if they can sound like real people. I don't think that a bot would edit its post. Training tip - "cracks from the inside" and polishing away a film around the edges is nonsense. And it listed a 240Z as its car but talks about a 260Z. That's clever attempt but it's a sign of not quite right. As far as deleting them, it might be best to keep our enemies close. We need to see how these manipulative tools develop. Be ready.

The bots are watching. Don't mess with the bots. 😬

Here's a pretty nice modified early 240Z. Always interesting to see how modified cars do against the restored cars. Sometimes the modifieds get surprising money. I don't know how a person can post on something like BaT though without actually looking at past listings to see what bidders want to see. No driving video. Maybe the tires rub. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-341/

Naah. It's just about honest disclosure. That's all. As usual, you've twisted something simple in to a mass of convoluted irrationality. To what end, who knows. Again, sorry DC. I imagine that you can see how these things start. It's not a pissing battle. It's just one guy who feels like he can wizz wherever he wants to.

A buyer mght assume that it came "out of the factory" in red. If "out of the factory" is meaningless then your point is valid. Changing the sticker removes a significant piece of provenance. If provenance is unimportant then your point is valid. Why not leave the green color code sticker? If provenance is unimportant then changing anything on the car is "okay". Replica body panels, paint, engine (just grind and re"stamp" the numbers on the engine or have alternate ID plates created), etc. Originality doesn't matter. Just have alternates created of all of the things that collectors usually inspect for originality. Create an alternative reality Z car. Sorry D.C.

It's former greenness is "clear" now. Seller posted a before picture.

Stumbled across an interesting video about zinc. The answer is at about 11:00.

Didn't mean to contradict you directly. There might have been something in the fuel that was left behind as a solid. Crystalline and solid are two separate things in the materials world. A solid can be crystalline but it doesn't have to be. Who knows, it might have been residual fuel stabilizer, left behind when the gasoline evaporated. Most of them are a witch's brew of chemicals designed to save the metals and the fuel. I took some chemistry courses! 🤢 https://www.lucasoil.com/pdf/SDS_Lucas-Fuel-Stabilizer.pdf https://defender.com/assets/pdf/sta-bil/safety_data_sheet_302110.pdf

Hey! If you remove the screws that indicator light can be removed. Unless the PO glued it on. I get nervous just looking at that picture.
