Arizona240z

Desert Z is a decent local club however from MY experience it is full of 350Z owners who have more money than knowledge of the Z. There are a few really good and helpful members but most of what I saw when I was around them were a bunch of guys who had the new 350Z and didn't know much of anything about the Original Z. JUST MY OPINION

I've been looking at that since my 26 gallon husky was stolen out of my garage a couple of weeks ago by some border jumpers.... I don't need all the tools but the price is pretty good.

Just a warning that looks like somebody has hacked ebay and found people who buy and sell Z stuff. I got an email from the guy asking info about something I was supposedly selling... He was asking about: 280ZX / L28 ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT / ECU His email is bsamuel2@ozark.coop (though that could change on a virus). Here is more info on the email: Question for seller -- Item #2442531575 (subject heading) Can you please provide the part number? Thanks Blaine -------------------- Question from: samuel20024 Title of item: 280ZX / L28 ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT / ECU Seller: mark (text) Chart.xls.scr (44 KB) ugly attachment that is probably a virus. Be careful out there

I'm moving to Indiana just so I can use Lance's garage! I have 4 plates not including the garage opener plate. I hadn't planned on adding any because we were going to sell the house and move but it looks as though the better half might have a new job lined up so we are in it for a while..... time to go to the electrical department at HD

I KNOW you are trying to start something when you start talking smack about hacking a 240..... Do it to a 260. Many more comments like that and we might be able to arange a stay at a nice little hotel with padded walls. :stupid:

It's not a sign of a mid-life crisis. It's a sign of realizing you can drive a car with the top down and not have to worry about your hair getting messed up! If you can swing it, I say go for it! I've never owned a roadster but I've driven a few here and there and would love to have one to run around town in.

Come on... did I read the posts too fast or did all of you forget about Dirty Harry in The Deadpool and the remote control car????

Steely Dan....... Come on admit it, everybody likes Steely Dan, I'm just brave enough to admit it. It doesn't exactly make you want to drive the Z the way it was meant to be driven but the it's still great!

Big fan! His Z may have a better paint job than his Daddy's but at least his Daddy's Z runs on the road The link will only be active until 03/06/04

I've been watching this saga from just about every view available and I've got to add my 2 cents in.... I probably would have done close to the same thing as David did if I were buying a car from a person who makes his living sell Z or Datsun stuff. I might have asked more questions (I don't know what he did ask). Most Datsun people are good, honest trust worthy people. I've seen some of the stuff TIR sells on eBay and have spent some time on his site. Personally, I think he is one of the ones that has high prices. That's just my opinon. I will also say, that as a Z owner that will begin "refreshing" 1 possibly 2 (my current one is up for sale, sort of) 240Z's this year, TIR will get none of my money. Not because The engine wasn't original but because it was misrepresented and TIR made no effort (he came close to accusing David of lieing at one point) to correct the situation. I just hope that Chloe or one of the other vendors with a good reputation in our comminuty can get me what I need! One daily driver that needs some TLC (if I don't sell) and one 71 series 1 that hasn't been on the road since 1991. I think I'll stay busy once I get started.

Warning.... "rude" sign language.... winter.bmp

The mechanical pump should work fine... And they are easy to change if it does go out! When you say it reeks of gas, do you mean actual gas smells or exhaust? If it's the exhaust smell, there are several ways it could be seeping in (these cars are famous for this). Try getting an extension tip on the exhaust pipe to bring it out just past the bumper for starters. I'm in Chandler right next to Mesa send me a pm sometime, I'd like to meet and check out the car.... Not to see what might be wrong with it, I'm not a mechanic!

2forty... congrats on the find. Send me a pm when you get a chance, I'm in Chandler and have an extra set of carbs if you are interested. Post some pics!

While the subject is brought up you can check your compure for a virus by going to trend micro free virus checker Just because your computer is running fine doesn't mean you don't have a virus on it. Most of them run in a hidden mode and are looking to more than mess up your computer anymore. They are looking for passwords and credit card info and they get this by recording every keystroke you make. I sell this stuff for a living..... you don't need to get this products but get an anti-virus program now if you don't have one. Stick with Trend Micro, Symantec or McAfee. These three are the big three and have the fastest response times to new viruses as they come out. If you ever get an email such a the one from Paypal asking for credit card info DO NOT use the links in the email. They are for spoofed pages. If you are curious about whatever the claim is in the email, open a new window and go to that website, login and check to see if they do need info. 99.9% of the time they won't. Ok, that's enough of my rant...

It used to be hobby of mine..... until we had a kid now my toys are off limits......... grrrrrrrrrrr Gotta love the little z fanatic though
