  1. I think we, or almost all of us with the L28E engines, know that. But occasionally, an MAF or MAS sneaks in as it did here. Hopefully, our OP is updated on that. One person on another website, asked me to point out where the MAP is, then earnestly claimed that the E.F.I. engine cannot operate without one.
  2. I didn't know the '76 had an MAS?
  3. There are some favorites on my list, but most every song has a tempo that is beneficial to your attention and reflexes (believe it or what?) I think it's about 140 - 160 or so, but it's what you'd call a 'snappy beat.' You find songs like that in rock, jazz, pop, country, even classical.
  4. It might not be as simple as just replacing the fuse links. Each one is for a different circuit or circuits, and you need to be careful which ones you put together, as in post #1, for safe driving.
  5. If you could get one in Polyrethane, it would be great. I bet everybody would have them on. the only problem is that no one makes those for the S30, and the only ones you can get are steel, used and probably rusted too. thxZ
  6. You'd only need something like that if you're into serious competition. Those ball joints are said to make the ride rough, hence the rubber bushings, which work just fine.
  7. Take the Bazooka, point it out the back, nd crank it up! :laugh:
  8. I've got every one on your list, Will, except "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" plus 900 others. You'll find only real, classic ROCK music in my collection. Alice Cooper to KISS to ZZTop... BTW, I sent Mike a copy of my original "Z Music" disc that we worked on a few years ago.
  9. Thanks for all the links. I'll look for the MyClassicCar (with Dennis Gage) thing. So all this time I've been driving a Nissan? But the title says Datsun, and so does the insurance and the owner's manual! Isn't it interesting how they all have literally the same thing to say? I wonder who wrote the original story? thxZ
  10. If anyone can grab the videos, and the press releases, could you please share it, or a link? Neither www.USAtoday.com nor www.Autoweek.com had anything concerning ZCCA or Nashville thxZ .
  11. Your turn Will??? What Will's part for next year then? Mapping all the beer outlets in the area?
  12. See you all next year, in Savannah. I think Will has a smile on now...

    NOt only will it handle so-many amps, but it also acts like a slo-blow fuse, taking some time before finally melting. Otherwise, it would pop every time you put on a heavy load like headlamps or charge the battery.

    Aren't fusible links classified by the gauge instead of amperage? The material is the same for all, and the gauge of the (wire) is what determines how much it'll take before melting. We can figure (or they did it for you) how many amps by those two factors.
  15. This is the secondtime here I've read about someone thinking that too many CCAs might hurt the car. What makes you think that?
  16. I'm about 1/2 finished with the first splash guard. There was a longitudinal crack at the top of the arch. and a couple cracks at the front, where the bolt is, and near where the headlamp wire goes through. I first tacked the crack together using GOOP, and then used a cut-up antifreeze jug to form a patch, or backing piece. The patch was heated to the softening point with a heat gun, then placed over the crack, and formed to shape with a dry rag. The patch was then glued on the back of the part so it will not be seen. The patch was oversized to provide strength to the old, thinly-made splash guard. I will do the same with the crack at the front; you just have to move quickly to get the backing piece to form well to to the splash guard. Since the clips for the fender arch lip are not available, I will probably use a clip for electronics, such as below.
  17. Did you ever get your picture of the spoiler? thxZ
  18. TomoHawk posted a post in a topic in Help Me !!
    So far that's what I've been reading. Gas is gas, and it all depends on the additives added by the distributor.
  19. TomoHawk posted a post in a topic in Help Me !!
    What is the correct colour for automotive gasoline made for use in the U.S., then? thxZ
  20. At that price, why don't we all get one?
  21. That is really a cool machine & process. If only you could make a gorgeous supermodel for me? Otherwise, maybe a few people could sit down with a hug bunch of Z parts and digitize it all for posterity, max molds, etc.

    Mine had no pins; It was on with double-sided tape. The holes must've been filled & painted over, as I don't see any evidence of them on either side of the bonnet.
  23. I think the kid is catching on.....
  24. You might also want to get a copy of the "280Z Fuel Injection Bible." It has a lot of explanations and plain-english trouble-shooting stuff. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/efisystem/280zfuelinjectionbook.pdf I printed mine and had it bound. The AtlanticZ club website has lots of interesting tech stuff that also helps explain things, and hot to do things yourself.: http://www.atlanticz.ca/index.php/tech-tips.html
  25. If you can spray the Duplicolor stuff on right, You can get it smooth enough to look nice, (the splash guard is too "plastic-looking,") but not rough & runny like undercoating. And that brings me back to the original question of what should the texture of the inner fender splash gaurds be like? I still lean towards a wrinkle-type finish, but the chevy/hot-rodders insist on a smooth glossy finish (like Chrome. :tapemouth )
