The temperature here has been ideal for Z trips but the flipside, time to do as much property maintenance as I can before the heat and humidity set in. I am trying to figure out a "bubble boy" with A/C I could get in my car wearing. Summer hatch with a small window unit running off a generator? Well damn. Can't add photo??? Anyhow, I'm loving this weather here.

Dang, you must be running pretty good compression. You could try this website: https://www.sunocoracefuels.com/fuel-finder There's a station near me that has a pump with 110 for "off-road use only". It's nice living not too far from a couple of tracks.

Here's where I saw Mark Maras's comment. There are identical threads for some reason.

Hmm. interesting... That's a goiid point. But i'm not sure though if you can't reach it from the space between the grille / bumper and the front lower valances? It seems however a bit unsafe, if word goes around that every 240Z had a free key in the front ready for take-away, i'm not sure how not every Z would have been stolen in the US over the years 😅

A strange location to hide keys seeing that you would have crawl under the car on your back and fumble around to find the container, if you were locked-out and couldn't pop open the hood from the inside.

Both cars I saw this on were US cars. Maybe this is a specific regulation of certain US states?

I just did and I'm on. I had already sent you an email. I guess you didn't get it. You just did the very ironic internet thing of telling me to use the web site functions to tell you that the web site functions don't work. "If your phone doesn't work just give us a phone call and we'll look in to it!" 😀 I only got lucky in that I was still signed on on my phone. Usually I sign out.

Interesting! I can't say I've seen or heard of this before.. following this topic..

Cheap caulk gun is all you need. Go to Harbor Freight and pick up a cheap one for a few bucks. I’d go with the recommendations that are proven. IMO

So today another bunch of parts arrived: First a bunch of goodies from Sean over at datsun-zstory.com in France. A Bronze upgrade worm gear for the oil pump: Something similar has been on sale by Nissan (in this catalogue they state it's brass, but in some others, they mention it's bronze too). And a set of replica stainless steel window corner trim pieces, which he just recently released. It's also planned to release the longer parts soon too. so maybe i'll get a set of those too. from my first glance they look excellent! And then another bunch of panels from KFVintageJDM parts in Bogota. After we decided to redo the work on the right side, that my previous panel beater did so-so. I thought let's just buy whatever is available so i have it on hand if needed. i can easy sell thos items anytime if i don't need them and i didn't want to make any more unplanned orders. so basically i have almost every part of the usual problematic areas in stock and ready to be replaced. It's easy for a skilled panelbeater to make such panels by hand, but if you look at all these die-stampted details from the KFVintage parts, made as close as possible to the original panels, i have to say it will become hard to get all the details right. so here we are. I Will visit the bodyshop next week to have a look at the progress, So far i haven't got any feedback, which worries me a bit, but is nice if they prefer to work on the car instead of texting and sending photos. I'll see..

Another weekend, another car meet. There another couple of Z33s that showed up, but they were shy. The silver 260Z had the rare, but coveted, Golden Retriever option.
