I have sent Carl numerous emails to get my data updated. ARGGGHHH. Anyway, Nick Larcade, Harrison, AZ USA has the Z that was right behind mine on the assembly line. Cool. My Z is originally from Arizona.

I know to some I will be speaking sacrilege, but you should get an understanding about what WD-40 is and what it was invented for. Use PB penetrant with the yellow cap. You can see it go right in, not down the side of your strut tower. Everyone runs to the store to buy cans and cans of WD-40. It is not the great things you think. Liquid Wrench and PB are the best.

Nah, air wrench takes it right off on the bench.

I could swim through a sea of boobs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Boy, the shipping cost will be high.

Daddz, thanks for the comments.

You need a spring compressor, can't do it without one. Don't rig anything up, it's not worth the risk. Other than that it's pretty normal stuff. I don't believe there is any chassis damage. I only got to test drive it a bit with the rear suspension complete, but I noticed an immediate difference. The compression rod bushings and anti-sway bar bushings were long over due. The new bushings are Prothane brands, and seem to be made well. I hope to notice a huge difference in response and ride. All four bump stops were down to nothing.

Well I'm about 60-70% complete. The rear is finished, and boy does it look good. I painted every part and added the Suspension Techniques anti-sway bar. I'll take pics when my camera is fixed. I think yall are going to love this. It really came out nice. I also found a collapsed strut cartridge in one of the front struts. Boy is that ever a strange phenomenon to find. The strut rod wouldn't even budge, I wonder how long I've been driving with that???? :cross-eye

I installed Prothane bushings.

Dynorad Has anyone used this device? If so, what's your opinion? Please state how much you used it.

Daddz, my original comments (maybe poorly stated) were to say that I thought John Morton's specific statements in the Forward could have been worded differently, better or included the context in which he meant them. To take a production Z out on the track for C Production racing, maybe it was a POS. To drive out of the dealer lot and onto a highway it is not. POS is my words not his. My question is, did he really expect this? This was a $3500 dollar car, so maybe you had to put another $3500 into it to make it a professional race car. At the time it was probably the best sports car in the world for $3500, don't you agree? Do you think the great love for this car stems from ordinary people looking at the car and seeing C Production professional race car right out of the showroom? Of course not. Someone suggested he may have been commenting from a professional racer viewpoint. Well wonderful, but do you think that Bob Sharp and Pete Brock are the only people that will have this book on their shelves? They know more than this book. John Morton was talking to us (you and me), and my "criticism" was aimed there, in that context. Do I think John Morton is stupid or bad or anything, of course not, and I'm certainly not in a position to make such a judgement anyway. In fact, it is because of who he is that I was disappointed with the writing. If most anyone on this board had written it, I would have thought "pffft". Okay, so I made a booboo and got flamed for questioning The Morton. Sorry, but I think my point is quite plain now.

I'm not going to defend Carl, he can do that, however this statement is really a kinda "throw something against the wall and see if it sticks" statements. No one is going to go through a bunch of threads. I think you could do better than this. You either say it, or you don't at all I think. My opinion only. I was hoping this thread would kind of die.

NP, she tested positive.

No problem, honey.

I didn't know he was running ZX gear.

Arne, why do you need an elect. fuel pump anyway?

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that that $7K stereo is a fidelity POS. IMHO, how stupid can you get? Think about it, $7K on the STEREO and $.50 on the engine bay. :surprised Why couldn't he have chosen a Honda? :devious: Must be a teenager. He cut the springs! What is that all about? Momo steering wheel, wow! Pedal pads; boy that adds value. I wouldn't touch this car with a ten-foot pole without spinners.

Ditto that, Nissan engineers knew what they were doing, have faith. They designed the Z didn't they? Oh sorry, it was Al....j/k.

That's just what I need, speakers the size of my house. Hahahaha.

Arne, I believe the wiring is there for the pre-72 Z's, it's just that you need a certain harness near the front (maybe under dash) to go with it. Check with Carl Beck or Kim Blough, I'm sure they know.

I guess this will stay off the road, huh?

And who might that be?

Fun, who made your avatar?

How'd you ever talk my wife into standing next to your car?
