Remember.......Higher lift reground camshafts require performance springs and different lash pads to center the wipe pattern on your new rocker arms. If you go with a new cam, I would highly recommend Stage III......very steetable and you can actually feel the difference. IMO

Gotta get rid of the beauty bar and she'll be a finished product........

Took some pics outside.....

Zedy.......It's a BRE type spoiler from MSA. Guy

Andrew......Whenever you engage the chokes, you are lowering the nozzle under the carbs. It is very common for the nozzle mechanism to bind and not snap back up tight. If this happens, you'll never get the carbs to run smooth. Reach your hand under each carb and push up on the nozzle with the chokes in the off setting. If you feel a little snap, you'll know that they weren't completely snapped back. IMO, don't start 2nd guessing Z Therapy settings. You can take it to the bank that they didn't send you carbs that were out of adjustment. Also, regarding vacuum leaks.....just hook up a vacuum gauge at the brake booster outlet on the intake manifold.....reading should be constant at 18 to 20 hg.

Thanks Leon....

No inspections, no taxes, no fees........none! You can drive anywhere for pleasure within 200 mile radius of your house and anywhere for shows or service. You can't use as daily transportation (to and from work or for commercial use).

Ditto that newtonhubcap....I'd love to purchase one of those units.

Virginia is $25.00 fee and it's good for life. The car has to be over 25 years old. There is no personal property tax and no inspections of any kind required! Pretty awesome. I can register the 90 300ZX in 3 years as an antique.

1st post.........

A trick I use when painting blocks.........If you want to mask off the freeze plugs, use an old freeze plug or a pill bottle the size of the freeze plug. Get a roll of wide masking tape and trace the 8 circles (the size of the freeze plugs). Cut 'em out with scissors and press them over the freeze plugs. It's a hell of a lot easier than trying to mask them off with little strips of tape.

Nice job Bonzi......A perfect example of what this site is all about.......restoring one of the greatest cars in automotive history!

What carbs are you running? SU's or side drafts?

Found a reaction disc.....thanks PJOE. I removed the two nuts holding the brake master cylinder to the master vac.....then pulled the master cylinder back 4 to 5 inches. I shined a light in the master vac and sure enough, the reaction disc was absent. I epoxied the disc to the adjustable plunger and pushed it back in. It's raining, so I haven't test drove her yet, but there's absolutely no question that the disc is what made the brakes work a little funny. Hope this helps someone else.

LOLMy favorite color combination.......orange with a blue interior......One of one!

Wow......The Muratic acid cleaned it up like new......the rust was so minor and cleaned up so good, I think I would have run it without the sealer. IMO, I wouldn't use a second coat. What does everyone else think? Muratic acid is great for cleaning parts for plating.....full strength for 60 seconds or less.

:stupid:If Mally002's car was 918 Orange, it would be in the garage.

Nice shots.......beautiful car. White is my favorite color on a Z.

Gtom.....The 71(920 gold car) is running Eibach springs, Tokiko adjustable shocks and Willwood front disc brakes. The wheels are Panasport 16 inch "0" offset with 205 55 16 KDW II tires. I've collected every 240Z year.....don't think the wife would let me collect every color. Green, gold, silver and white is probably it!

Yes......That is correct. I'm running Ground Control Coilovers with adjustable camber plates, so I can tuck them under the rear fenders. I would suggest running 205-55-16's.......I run those on my 71 and they look and work great.IMO

Mally002......Did you ever sell that car? It's nice! Guy

To fix the angular problem, you'll need to get a 72 diff hanger (curved not straight), a longer driveshaft from a 72, flip your mustache bar, and install a 72 front diff mount (or flip the one you've got 180 degrees).

Just a guess Steve.....you're probably right....could push $100,000.00. It won the big trophy too......You won't have to compete against him next ZCON! You saw it.....It was perfect.

Right John......He placed first.....Eiji was 2nd. Beautiful car....absolutely perfect. My guess is he probably had a minimum of $50,000.00 invested. I believe he was from Oregon.
