So how much does Balancing and Blueprinting add to the total engine rebuild?

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to disagree with you. When you move into a neighborhood with convenants (as I have), you sign those covenants upon closing on your property. If they specify certain limits on vehicles, etc.... then you must comply. I love the Constitution as much as the Founders, but this has nothing to do with personal property rights and the government. It has to do with personal property rights and contracts. Anyway, I'm sure we've been beating a dead horse.

I think a parts car (#6) class should be added to shows. You could have the best parts cars that can only be transported in an enclosed trailer (so parts don't fall on the road) brought to shows for judging by qualified amateurs.

I think there are only two ways to get a true value for a car, 1) professional appraisal, and 2) sell the car and what you get is what it's worth.

Enigma, government computers have strange blocking settings, and it also depends on the DOIM.

Are you seeing a psychiatrist? You should, really. Do you ever read your posts after you write them?

I'm surprised Mike allowed you to get away with titling this thread that way it is, considering.

Is this the same Euro light set that was sold by MSA?

I just looked at mine. My BRE spook is black on the back, but it is just like the off yellow one in your photo.

I remember my Datsun 510 had the ignition on the left side of the steering wheel so you could operate the choke with the right hand. The Z doesn't do that. Of course the 510 headlight switch was on the dash, so you didn't that that big stalk coming off the right.

So he lied? For money's sake? Carry on, I'm done with this; now you're just spinning off into the universe. Let's go back to 1970 now. I made statements and I gave the CONTEXT in which I meant them. Either understand or not, obviously you'd rather fabricate your own context to suit your purposes. You two can go ....... now. That book wasn't written only for race car drivers you bozo, don't tell me what my frame of reference should be. Good bye! :mad:

In post #25 I attempt to turn the thread back to its original topic. However, some had to continue. I thought it would be obvious that I was trying to make an effort to stop the "hijack".

I'm still looking for the Nissan badging.

I love the lines of this one, and the white finish is really sporty.

How much did that 74 Porsche 911 CS cost?

No problem, someone even put a turboshaft engine in a Z once. So whatever you can think of, it's probably been done.

Are you going to pop into every thread and defend statements that should have been written differently? My answer to your question is no. I stated I was having fun, and that we could just quit. But since you're here, you still believe that the Z handles like an American car and not a European car. Fine, you go ahead. I never argued that it did or should handle like a RACE CAR OR RACED PREPPED CAR, only you are doing that. So basically, you are and have been talking about something completely different from me. Cya.

I know, I'm just having fun right now. Let's forget it.

Well can we assume that muscle cars handle just as average American cars?

Zguitar71, NOOOOO, say it isn't so. It handles FAR BETTER than muscle cars???? And muscle cars handle far better than [average] American cars???? Hmmmm?? You can argue with experts if you like, but be careful I tried that and it didn't work.

Now what is the advantage of having these on my Z?

Think of all the parts we've lost.

Hahahaha.

So how did your Z compare to those American muscle cars. It drove about the same, right?

This statement is incorrect based on expert testimony. It handles more like an American car. :sick:
