The new exhaust arrived today. Sean's system is gorgeous and I am looking forward to getting the Z out of storage and getting started. Don's iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

New seats arrived!

Autozone should have the hose and clamps, if you're talking about the fuel injection hose, Advance has them. 5/16" High Pressure Fuel Injection Hose and packs of high pressure hose clamps.

Jump on that, great price!

Don't bother cleaning and painting. Take everything apart and take it to Coating Concepts in Carlisle to have it blasted and powder coated. They did my race car suspension and ceramic coated my header 5 years ago and it all still looks great. http://www.coatingconcepts.net/ Chuck

I have a rebuilt set for sale - $275. Chuck

Interested in a sound clip when done! What do those go for? Is that entirely stainless?

I didn't have a B enough FH and limited swinging space as my dent was closer to the firewall so I used an old bowling ball, worked pretty good too.

You're OK until Nissan finds out, which may never happen but don't bet on it, and then you will get a letter from their attorney that will scare the snot out of you. I framed my letter from Porsche's legal team many years ago. The basic rule is that if you're reproducing anything owned by someone else, you are doing something illegal. Try asking Nissan for permission, you may be pleasantly surprised. They own the intellectual rights to what you want to create and sell and if they think what you're doing will dilute their hold/control, they will tell you to stop. Dennis

Actually, that's a sign that the thermostat is not working correctly. You might not even have one. The thermostat is designed to stop coolant flow until the engine heats it up. Normal temperature is about 180 degrees F.

Are you wanting a daily type for theft prevention? Or for fire prevention in case of racing crash? My 240 has a OE mechanical fuel pump so it's not possible with that. When I leave mine overnight somewhere unfamiliar I pull the coil wire off or the small wire on the starter. I'm sure there's more ways someone could recommend. Good luck with your project and will be reading the replies. I'd like something that could be activated from the cabin.

Gotta love before and after pics! I love this hobby!

I have the “dealer option” Racing mirrors on my 240Z. The ball joint on the 44 year old driver side mirror body was getting loose and would not hold position while driving. It finally got so loose I was worried it might fall off if I hit a pot-hole. I removed the mirror, and discovered the hole in the mirror body had worn / enlarged to the point that I could easily pull the ball out of the mirror body! I tried a few “easy” fixes, but none really worked, and decided a better solution was required. So I fabricated a plate that fits over the posts inside the mirror, having a central hole smaller than the ball joint diameter. To get it over the ball, I cut one side of the center hole so I could twist / bend the plate to install it after inserting the ball into the mirror. My thinking was that the holes in the plate that go onto the posts prevents the plate from deforming / spreading, so the ball joint hole won’t enlarge. I assembled a “rough” prototype from 1/16” galvanized sheet-steel and it works great! Mirror body is nice and tight with no movement when jarred. The hole in the plate may deform a little over time, but it can only deform so far. If required, tightening the ball joint screws in a month or so should create a truly permanent fix. Let me know what you think!

Don't want to hijack your thread. Just trying to figure out who decided. Seems to be the IZCC, I guess. Internet Z Car Club. Carry on. There's probably a past thread out there about it.
