Welcome up I hear you guys have the best tasting Mangos down there for making dried fruit Snacks and Z's , you can't beat

Wondered bout that myself, thanks for solving the question Ron. Coolest thing I saw on there was the Yellow Chequered Flag on the rear fender wonder if they make that full scale?

Thyats what I'm talking about! Let the dismay continue Just about right up my ally too as Rubys' a '77. I'll have to see if I can find that issue on Ebay somewhere, seems to be alot of '77 related stuff turning up in the forum lately ~Z~

Will do

Off the line acceleration would be off the hook, I can already peel out most times (By Accident :cheeky:) Yeah, something about cruising around topping at 60/80 mph doesn't sound good to me I think the Tow Yard ZX is a '81 , '83ish. I'll be out there again Wednesday or Thusday to take a look.

Thats worth a looking into. I sent a email through their contact link, gonna ask them for pics of part numbers TK5168 Chrome Dual Slash Cut Tips (Resonated) 2" ID x 2 3/4" OD x 20 7/8" Long AND TK5768 Chrome Dual Slash Cut Tips (Resonated) 2 1/4" ID x 2 3/4" OD x 20 7/8" Long ~Z~

I missed out on the ANSA auction :mad: ! ! ! ! ~Z~

Theres still that 280ZX 5 Speed at that Tow Yard up tha street, I'll have to get my hands on it when funds allow :classic: Speeking of gears I read in the MSA parts book that '77 280Z's came with both R180 and R200 diffs. Is there a cut off date when the switch occured from the R180 to R200? Ruby has a 10/76 build date and I still got that NOS 4.37 R180 in Storage....... jus sitting there :cheeky: :tapemouth :rambo:

Yo thanks for that I'm getting used to slamming gears on Ruby's stock 4 Speed. I like it even more since I figured out my seat slides up closer :cheeky: For awhile there I was mid way back with my arm almost strecthed fully out locked in 1st! Think of it as Gangsta Lean with Race Agenda

Sorry bout yo lose bro. Will keep an eye out fo sure :ninja: If you can post a pic that'll help. ~Z~

Welcome Welcome Welcome ! I agree with the above, we need more Lady Grease Monkeys ~Z~

What do they look like?

HI Welcome to the Club I'd reply to this if I knew what I was doing cause I just got my own Z yesterday. But you better have a good excuse for that screen name All In Good Fun ~Z~

WoW, now thats a story for the kids. Keep up the great work ! ! ~Z~

Oh yeah, I only driven her twice on some what short runs yeasterday. She's been parked since last night jus to be safe. I walked to work :tapemouth

THATS FUNNY :classic: I came to that same conclusion about 5 minutes ago when I took a look at her just now after I came home from work, then sat down and read your post I never thought some one could miss this much wax, especially an owner. Some one must been in a real hurry as this stuff is literally all over the car Funny thing is I took her to one of those so called "High End" automated car washes, .... yeah good job that did :cheeky: and already theres a fine layer of dust on the car. So it's gonna be me, a cheese cloth, wax, and that tooth brush Also I noticed theres alot of heat coming up through the shifter boot making the metal part of the shift handle hot to the touch. Is this normal or is there a bad seal some where under the boot between the transmission and center counsol thats letting the fumes get inside causeing my "exhaust leak" problem? Thinking about switching out the exhaust manifold for a 3 into 2 from MSA and replacing the entire exhaust pipe line after getting a tune up, that is if the tune up don't fix "the leak". The moter was running hot at around 240 in the beggining and the oil preasure wouldn't go past 2 or 6 lbs preasure :surprised. The car has been sitting garaged for awhile for the better part of 3 years, so maybe I'll do a complete fluid change befor checking gauges and electricals. ~Z~

Yeah I thought a Angry potential buyer keyed her too as it showed up about a week befor I brought her home. The Blue you see on the back of the hood Blake is actualy steel colored or primemer maybe. Everywhere I look including the Sprare tire, Doors and so on only show Red paint. In areas where paint is missing or chipped only reveals metal and no other colors show. If it was a repaint someone did a very good job of it. There is however some majoy overspray of Red paint thats been "clear coated" over the windshield weather striping. And theres this Neon Pink clay stuff on most of the seems and cowl vents that I thought was worn or fadded paint untill I looked just now and noticed it flakes off revealing nothing but good paint undeneath. Whats is this stuff? I'll post more pics of the above areas in the morning and get on ordering those Fusible link covers :rambo: ~Z~

Thanks for the Link

RED Car? Here you go! My brand new Z, Ruby ! ~Z~

Also came with A/C that works. And was also part of some recall that got corrected as evidenced by a stcker on the back of the hood. Also the factory didn't write the Paint Color Number on the color decal so I don't what Ruby's true color ~Z~

Yup that game is still great! Fastest time on Nurburing so far is 7:58'ish Thaynx yo HAHA, Woke up this morning and found I loved it MORE Diffenitely have to look into that compound for sure. Someone had the nerve to key the car befor I took delivery :mad: not bad though jus minor. Says "F@@@ U" above Driver door handle and "F@@@ U Sunny" on the roof above the driver side window just light enough and small enough to put a Nismo logo Decal over it if need be! ....... No Good Bums.... The exhaust things first cause I have to pass smog to get the Title registered in my name at DMV. I think the Problem is this, rusty exhaust pipe and possibly bad manifold flange gasket between where the manifold connects to the exhaust pipe. I think the flange gasket is rusted out somewhat cause the gasket between the engine block and manifold looks OK. Heres goes a shot of the engine compartment and the build date of 10/76

I have no idea what they are but I like ~Z~

HEH, anybody notice a resemblance to my avatar :cheeky: !

Thyanx MSA Ultra GT Steering Wheel coming up A good day indeed, my dad seems to think it's a good name too! And shes already taking my money because what am I worried about, I just sprang an Exhaust leak :rolleyes::eek: !
