It's fixed. Back to normal programming...

Auction ends in about two hours. Up to $33,333 at the moment. Almost to the $35,000 it didn't sell at before.

I guess you could rotate the switch and see if the blue wire powers up. I cant think of any other reason for it to power up.

I was thinking more about the Spiderman meme of multiple Spiderman’s pointing at each other. But you’re right. Maybe I am a bot….. Maybe you are a bot…… Maybe we all are bots living in the matrix!

Wait..... Mitchel0407... How do we know you're not a bot???? Can you prove you're not AI? Anyone remember the scene from The Thing when they are all standing around accusing eachother? Hahaha!!!

Haha! I doubt that has anything to do with it. I'm sure he's just a busy guy with a job and a family and a car to work on. I don't think he's hiding or has been replaced by an AI. ☺️

I think you rage baited him to hard by calling him out and now he’s too afraid to show his face. At least it’s another rage prone neckbeard AI bot gone from the forum.

I am in the process of restoring a 280z where i will be adding the Rocket Bunny kit. This kit adds 4 inches to the width of the car so i will be adding larger tires. I've been doing research and found a few articles about current builds with this kit and they are running 17x9.5, -15 off set (FRONT), 17/10, -25 offset (BACK). or similar with 16 inch wheels all with the stanard bolt pattern 4:114.3/4:4.5 I am trying to find options and basically cant unelss they are completly custom which i probably dont want to afford. I technically found a way to do it with 5:120 bolt pattern and a more typical offset around +25 but i would be running 50mm spacers which isnt the best idea. I do like the deep lip offset look of the tires which i would lose by doing this. any suggestions?

Forgot to say - are you sure it's really Mike? The chatbots stop responding also. Maybe it's too late. We miss you Mike. 😪

I don't mind the chatbots, I think that it's interesting to interact and see what happens. It would be nice though to have some acknowledgement that they're here. I see them on Youtube comments and people do get fooled. Overall though, I do worry about chatbots scamming people. We're probably on the edge of a big wave of chatbot scams. They already have the AI voices that sound like relatives from a few years ago. Somebody is going to ask an AI model "what's the best way to scam a Z car owner out of their money?" and they're going to get specific instructions.

I don't think that it takes much to lock up a 12 volt DC motor. There were probably a few rust spots sticking that got polished away once you got it spinning. If it was mine I would just use it until there are problems. If it's not making noise and it's pumping how would a new one be better? They're not really precision instruments, they just push as much fuel as they can according to how much voltage they see. The regulator controls the pressure. Should be fine, I'd guess.

Mike has been active on the site in the past couple hours . He knows about these posts and is choosing to let them continue on. There is significant credence in your theory Zed: I don't think it's training though... I think it's straight-up spamming and it seems we're going to have to live with it. @siteunseen , I challenge you to a game of "Spot the Bot". Hahaha!!!

@Zed Head Do you think I will need a new fuel pump or I'm good as-is now that I smacked the pump to get it running? The pump is only about a year old when I let it sit.

I am trolling Spot the Bot. It's a new game I like instead of telling brain dead people the same stuff over and over.

I've gotten that before but just for a minute. Happened yesterday then took a wizz and back to normal. The least of my worries is with classiczcars.com, but I understand. Logging onto government sites for insurance scares the bee Jesus out of me.

Posted this on Website Questions. Can't find web site support. "We've been joking about Mike and chatbots but there really are some odd things going on. A few days ago the "not secure" page was coming up before signing in. Now the tag at the top just says not secure. Has a chatbot really taken over the site? This post must be approved by a moderator. Let's see. I'll post it on open chit chat too just for fun."

I want one, Then again I want my project to be on the road also!!!

It looks to be a nice Seiko watch with excellent features. Can't speak about the quality of Seiko watches. They were all the rage in mens wrist watches in 70s and 80s. My Dad received one when he retired from Goodyear Tire and Rubber.

Looks like a nice clean car. GLWS

"As profound as the abundance produced by AI may one day be, an even more meaningful impact on our lives will likely come from everyone having a personal superintelligence that helps you achieve your goals, create what you want to see in the world, experience any adventure, be a better friend to those you care about, and grow to become the person you aspire to be." https://www.meta.com/superintelligence/?srsltid=AfmBOopSi7nekJMPHVTg-DdFWo-IiwGRDkvLClsBgOnqpYmc0GawGYY3

Did any of you end up buying one of these watches? Just curious to know if the quality is worth the price.

It's actually the US govt developing the interface for next gen public services.

That's the scary part. If they put AI chatbot computer/brains in mechanical robots there will probably be a trail of human body parts left behind as they interact with people. They seem to get very angry when challenged.

I recently came into ownership of an '81 turbo car. I'm planning on swapping out the intake, etc, and the cruise will be an unfortunate casualty - putting out a feeler for any takers. It is on the car currently and fully functional. I can take some video of it in action the next time I take it out. Includes everything in the FSM pic below, solenoids, vacuum pump, tanks, and the dash control panel (not pictured). This is a pic of the actual engine bay:
