some pics from cleveland!
I was browsing the DVD from the convention, and I counted over 2,500 pics on it! The photographer is a Z enthusiast, so he made very well sure only the best photos were taken! You all should get the DVD because it won't be soon for another convention to be held in Cleveland...

When should fuel pump begin operating?
The fuel is turn on when the key is on Start. After that, the fuel pump stays on because of a set of contacts onide the Air Flow Meter.

Hazard lights
Correct. The turn signals have always worked correctly while there was an intermittent problem with the hazard flashers.
-
Hazard lights
I have an intermittent problem with the hazzard lights. Sometimes when I remove the center console, they stop working for a while. Sometimes the switch itself is the problem (you need to jiggle the rocker just right), and sometimes the connector by the firewall is the problem (pins not connecting properly.) Check the big green connector by the firewall to ensure that the pins inside are connecting or touching properly. thxZ

Core support holes
A/C condenser mounts maybe?

2008 Int'l Convention Sep 28 - Oct 3
The only thing left needing attention or revamp is the judges! Really... What it means is that some judges know just about everything about every detail about every model & year of car, and others are less experienced or knowledgable. You get that at any kind of car show, especially if there is a volunteer judge that was 'pulled off the street at the last minute.' :eek: BTDT (at musclecar "classic car" shows where an S30 is just some kind of foreign car ) AFAIK, One goal of the ZCCA software/website updates is to have a more centralized data system, so it will be easier to register for conventions, do the car show judging, and other stuff. That way, in stead of having one specialized computer for registration, one for the car show, etc., all you need is a few ordinary computers with WiFi, or a wireless phone/Internet card, or whatever to connect to the Internet. thxZ

2008 Int'l Convention Sep 28 - Oct 3
If you are referring to the car show judging sheets, those will be s-mailed to you- 'soon.' The results for the car show, and autocross are going to be posted on the clevelandrockZ.com website- 'soon.' :classic: Due to the large amount of sponsor donations, Z-store inventory, goodie bag stuffings, and other convention-related stuff that helped make the convention a success, there is still a lot of cleanup & organization to do, so please be patient. I think I can tell you that are are still some engine & body parts (300ZX performance intakes, S30 floorpans, etc) in the inventory and will go up for sale. Everybody on the convention email list will get a notice about that. thxZ

Looking for good graphics of emblems
You might want to collect vector graphics (eps files) in stead of, or along with rastor graphics (bitmap, jpg) because they are clearer at any scale. then you could even use the vector graphics to engrave things.

Hatch sill question
You must have an aftermarket light switch installation. My car (11/78) doesn't have it, or even an indent or hole where your switch is located. there are no connections or wiring to the ome lamp either. That is unless you can explain it. thxZ

I just passed traffic school ! !
It costs me $0 on traffic tickets, school and everything else because I don't speed! It's WAY cooler to cruise through town. Why would anyone need to go 55 MPH in a 35 zone? Like you can't tell you're going almost twice as fast as everybody else?

Hatch sill question
My 280Z doesn't have a dome light switch on the hatch either. Maybe you are thinking ZX?

Sorry mate- Most of the convention committe is still (repairing) their lives from the convention commitments, not to mention organizing all the stuff that's left over! FYI, there might be convention stuff/equipment for sale later. I'll let you all know if it is. So for the time being, get over to the ZCON photos website and order up your photos! Link to ZCON photos website thxZ

'A Fuel-injected Investment' and 'Identified Datsun Flying Object'
Did you see the one with the police car chase? A girl in a 280Z is being chased down a country road while a police car and a mysterious plane chases, the plane drops a bomb in front of the 280Z and the girl panics, swerving and stopping the car, blocking the road. Then the police car clips the front of a 280Z! :eek::mad::devious:

Desmogging the Z
Before you start removing things, you should define your goal for desmogging.
