  1. DC8 is saying that he doesn't believe this. And he has a point. How do we know what to believe? But, that is also the tool that the current administration is trying to use to stay in power. Making everything seem unbelievable until people just give up and listen to the guy that says he'll take care of everything. In the end people just have to do their own homework, and decide what to believe. Which is really supposed to be the core of a democracy, the sum of the individual views and decisions. Nobody should be believing something just because they saw it on the internet or TV channel. Mass media has always been about manipulating people, to buy the goods that they're selling through advertising.

    An oldie but a goodie,
  3. This is correct. No 'X' on Japanese market S130 models: *FAIRLADY Z ( S130S ) - L20E engine *FAIRLADY Z-L ( S130 ) - L20E engine *FAIRLADY Z-T ( S130J ) - L20E engine *FAIRLADY Z 2 by 2 ( GS130S ) - L20E engine *FAIRLADY Z-L 2 by 2 ( GS130 ) - L20E engine *FAIRLADY Z-T 2 by 2 ( GS130J ) - L20E engine *FAIRLADY 280Z-L ( HS130 ) - L28E engine *FAIRLADY 280Z-T ( HS130J - BC ) - L28E engine *FAIRLADY 280Z-L 2 by 2 ( HGS130 ) - L28E engine *FAIRLADY 280Z-T 2 by 2 ( HGS130J - BC ) - L28E engine
  4. So I went digging through my carburetor parts in my parts storage today. (Something I should have done months ago.) I found some black Helix Racing Products 3/16 ID x 5/16 OD fuel line. At 3/16 ID, it's a tight fit on the float bowls, but it should work. https://www.helixracingproducts.com/316x-3-fuel-line-black https://www.amazon.com/Helix-Racing-Fuel-Line-Black/dp/B000WK5J0Y It did not kink at a bend radius of less than an inch. It's stiffer than the Nissan hoses, so I will put it on a spare set of carburetors to see if it binds the nozzles. It is tolerant to 10% ethanol and is less than $10 for 3 feet.
  5. Stringent regulations on classic cars would be one of the last boxes to check along the logical progression in the war on climate change. As someone said earlier, classic cars are a very small percentage of cars on the road. There are far bigger problems that would need to be assessed first, and to regulate classic cars right off the bat would be like spraying a burning house with a water hose thinking it'll make a difference, or to restore a crumbling building firstly by painting it, that way you at least won't notice the deteriorating walls. The only reason I can imagine classic cars would be regulated prematurely is so a politician can look like they're making a difference or an effort when in reality they hardly accomplished anything substantial. At any rate, I live in a small town where large trucks blow out black smoke (roll coal) and while this, too, is a minor problem in the grand scheme of climate change, it is marginally bigger than classic cars. I'll begin to worry we're next once these trucks are put under the political and ecological microscope. Until then, I'm more worried about ethanol ruining my car than I am about the government regulating it.
  6. We can wait and see what happens or learn to swim. Like with COVID and the places that are waiting until it's too late then just suffering through the situation that they could have avoided. Similar thinking, different time frames. The scientists have been right.
  7. Hey friends, there's lots of "if" attached to climate and temperature changes. My point is simply that the consequences are severe, and now is the time to be serious about addressing them because the payoffs are down the road but are quite real. There are considerable benefits to all of us if we can change trends that make weather more extreme.
  8. The old bulldozer is pretty cool. You'd think a Cadillac would be a place of safety.
  9. Sociopathic Narcissism fits too.
  10. No, again, Japanese market had its own ideas. 'G' prefix in the S130-series denoted '2/2' ('2 by 2') model and appropriate emblems, just as it did in the S30-series. The '2 by 2' name was used extensively by Nissan in its sales and advertising for the cars. No '2+2' / 'Two plus Two' in the Japanese market. Export markets only. Factory sales brochure. These are for the S30-series, but S130-series followed suit:
  11. lol. value will only go up in the long run..
  12. The chassis brace fits well and also seems like there is more stability in the street driving i did today... I made some cup holders that matched some Porsche style ones i saw in the UK last year. They fit well, I can do a run of them if people are interested, I need to test them out a little more, I'm not sure how a thermos would do, but a large coke from in-in-out should fit. I like them on the firewall side, seems out of way from peoples feet. Edit* looks like i hit the submit button too many times, i tried to delete the old posts, but i only see a `hide` option hopefully it worked.
  13. I had a set of cables that the "blobs" were still on, but the ends were replaced with straight generic ones. This is what I did to make them more right(er). I used the covers as a mold.
  14. Notice that it is not red. Important.
  15. Instilling fear of "something" and instilling the belief that "someone (egotistical, charismatic leader) and an egotistical group (pick one) has the ONLY answer is the basis of mind control to gain and retain power. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely".
  16. Douglas DC-8. The DC-8-71F is a freighter version of this airplane, and with bigger motors.
  17. Thanks for standing up and fighting for me and my family, our rights and our Democracy. Thank you for your service.
