Damn! A perfectly good Diamante, too. steve77

Good, because it's a 390 I might want to use someday. What happens if you put a 390 behind a 240 4-speed? Hmmmm...I am assuming the ZX 5-speed normally in front of the 390 is a bit taller. YES, I know where all the tranny cal-q-laters and all that is...just thinking out loud. Thanks for all the input. steve77

Yeah, most people who sell the Suspension Techniques 25mm sway bar 'kit' includes the mounts and bushings with it 'complete'. So ST makes a 'universal' mount P# 9.5129 which the bolt holes will fit (holes are 2 1/16" to 2 7/8".....240 is 2 1/4 or 2 1/2", I can't remember). Anyway, it should work and Energy Suspension also sells a 'universal' mount of identical proportions. That's what I ordered from Suspension Restoration in Modesto, CA. steve77

So here's a possibly stupid question the answer to which has escaped me in all my reading on coil-ever conversions (cut/weld housing to relocate perch). How do you know what size cartridge to order? And where do you go to order it? Do manufacturers have a 'private' page page where they disclose the actual dimensions of the cartridges (without a make and model obviously)? steve77

All the Energy suspension and Prothane listings go up to 20mm. Where do I buy 25mm (1") front sway bar mount urethane bushings? steve77

Yes, the drive shaft roatates. steve

So.....normally, you jack up the rear end and when you rotate a tire one way, the other tire rotates the opposite way, except LSD's which rotate together blah, blah, blah.............What does it mean if the other tire DOESN'T rotate? Is the rear end horribly worn? I tried both sides, and the input shaft rotates along with each side, and the opposite end nudges a bit in the opposite direction, but doesn't rotate at all. Yes, the brakes were off...completely off: disks, calipers, everything. Nothing but raw shafts. steve77

Saw a set of ADVAN's on a ricer at a Honduh show this weekend which looked very much like that. GORGEOUS!!! steve77

They could be one of several brands. Quite a few folks have made a mesh alloy over the years. Alot of them had contrasting centers, but they could have been stripped. They look pretty deep...probaby at least 15X7.......Enkei, BBS....... steve77

you still had the driveshaft in your hands and were able to quickly stick it back into place to stem the flow. <<<< No. The drioveshaft was still on the car and I was taking out the tranny through the front (empty engine bay). Now I REALLY got to paint my garage floor. steve77

You guys never told me all the gear lube would pour out of the tranny when you pulled the driveshaft out! Thanks a million! steve77

...there's got to be a MacGuire's product that'll shine up that area.... steve77

>>>pictures eric b, PLEASE! Slow down, Alfa...we don't have any pictures yet...but we will take plenty at the track..... A couple of FAQ's I have been getting: 1. Your passenger does not get in for $30. Cost is $45 per person, NOT per car. 2. You can't take your Z out on the track for a few laps, silly! This is Laguna Seca! There is NO track time opportunity for attendees. Rumor: Since the theme of the year's Historics is Ford, it is considered very likely Carroll Shelby will be there. steve77

Yes, Yes, YES! If you can come up with 2 good reasons NOT to go EFI, then you really shouldn't. Still waiting....... steve77

Calling all race fans! It's time to get serious about reserving a spot on the growing list of attendees for the Nissan corral at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca Raceway Saturday, August 16. This is an amazing event each year which is very heavily attended and parking is at a premium. Don't get stuck out in a pasture somewhere riding the shuttle bus in to the race! Reserve your spot NOW for corral parking right in the center of the action. $45 includes an all day pass including the racing, paddock and of course reserved corral parking alongside at least 30 other Z's. Z Owners of Northern California has put this together and we need to get as many as possible to be considered. If we don't get at least 30, we are out. NOTE: There is one catch. Only Z's will be allowed to park in the corral. If you reserve a spot, you can ONLY park a Z. Laguna Seca is not allowing any exceptions. Please view the attached flyer and send your money NOW!!! Steve McConnell, Director Central Coast Z Car Club

>>>>>>>and I can't afford the other. <<<< Totally understand. I can't afford my wife either.... steve77

I posted this knowing full well at some point you would chime in, Bonnie.......If it's such a 'guy' thread, how come it's running so close? Seems more than I expected have their priorities straight. And Bambi's comparison is the best: Easier to spot a good one? Now that 's spot on! steve77

.>>>>>......steve(2 wives<<<< Contrary to what my first wife believes, the two did not happen simultaniously!!! steve77

Curious how many of you have your priorities straight.... steve(2 wives, 9 Z's)77

>>>>...a Nguyen-Win situation<<<< OMG...you slay me! There is a very popular restaurant in Sacramento called 'Andy Nguyens'. Honkies have such a hard time with that name!!! steve77

There's another perspective without the oppressing negativism. Nissan was trying to get back to where they were with the 240z? They purposely dropped the X to because they knew it confused the casual consumer and irritated the purist. Face it, people: Times change. Attidudes change. Products have to change. steve(not gigantically in love with them, not going to own one, but welcome them into the family and not going to rail at them at every opportunity)77

Is there a site or archive listing all the intake mani's throughout the years of the L-series? I think there is at least three double carb mani's and maybe 5 or more EFI's. Anyone? steve77
