replacement Antenna Mast Cable
It's a good idea, but where do you find trimmer line that's that heavy?

replacement Antenna Mast Cable
Can you get a replacement for the plastic pushrod/cable that's in the 280Z power antenna? Mine broke right at the reel. I could possibly splice it with some brass tubing & GOOP. I'm still cleaning the insides, and if the motor works, I'll want to put a new cable into it, and an Up/Down switch at the radio. Also, how can you get the mast out of the housing, if I need to? There were two screws going through the housing & mast, and after removing those, it seems the mast is stuck or rusted in. I can get some photos. thx

OK, what ever. Let's get back on with the partying...:laugh:

OEM Tool Bag
Funny! I have plenty of room under the rear deck (or what's left of it) and the spare wheel well. In fact, I was thinking of cutting some rigid foam, or squishy foam, to fit in the spare wheel well to hold the jack tools, the chocks, and maybe some other stuff. Other tools, and sparefluids in the tool bins.

OEM Tool Bag
(Long Pause)...Oh. I get it now... I just cut up a piece of 4x4 lumber to make some chocks, and drilled a hole through it so I could tie in a loop of rope for extraction ( or carrying, use as bolos, etc.) :rambo:

I had to conclude the 2+2 doors were longer because I bought some replacement window squeegees last summer, and they were too long for my 2-seater doors because they were for the 2+2 doors.

Heater Function Lever Problem
Thanks Will, I think there's supposed to be a slooted tube-thing on the end to keep the ball riding on the plate, and either a ball, or a rounded piece of rod in the end, held in place with a spring. the pic would be very welcome. thx a 10^6!

Heater Function Lever Problem
On my 280Z- when you move the function lever for the heater, is it supposed to 'click' into the different stops for the different modes? ( vent, heat, biLevel, recirc) I think my controls are missing some kind of spring-loaded thing. It would help to have a pick of the thing to maybe make the part- no help from the microfiche or FSM on this. thx

OEM Tool Bag
My car didn't have any chocks, so I made some.

I might be that we're talking about different courtesy light cutouts. The 2+2 door panels should be too long to fit the door.

What's a 'Tire Stopper?' thx

My door panels have the cutouts for that light. Where dd they run the wires? Maybe I have the connectors in there too, but hidden.

Exhaust Y or splitter
not a bad price. Why didn't I try eBad in the first place? You can find maybe just about any darn thing there. I tried Googling for ANSA tips, but you get too muck junk that way. thx, mate

Exhaust Y or splitter
Higuys, just back from Tampa, FL I survived Guavaween! Where can I get a 2 1/4 inch Y or splitter so I can run dual gasspacks in the rear in place of the coffee can muff? I'd put a straight tip on each. Long Dual tips are impossible to find. thx

Stereo amplifier and wire choices
As a rule of thumb, the audio (experts) will tell you to get an amp that has more power than the speakers you will be driving. The reason is because when you turn up the power all the way (to make it loud) the sound gets distorted, from clipping or whatever, and it sounds bad. With the extra amps, you will only have to use partial power, and the sound will be much nicer, the quiet parts will not have any hissing, etc.

Name my Pet Rock!
He's out of shape- so petty much just a 'blob' right now. Rocks don't get much excersize!

Air Flow Meter
There's a decarbonizing cleaner specifically made for throttle-bodies & air flow meter like yours. Kinda like carb spray.
-
Name my Pet Rock!
Yeah he was in the Hot tub for a while, but I had to ask if I could post the pic, because all his ladies flew off to Fla. for the winter. BTW, it's a guy (old man) so choose your names accordingly. I'll ask him to talk about his stats (height, weight, sign, turn-ons/turn-offs, etc.)

Name my Pet Rock!
I doubt he's is big enough to chock a car- maybe it'll stop up your roller skates. Arnold Rockenegger? I got a few pics of the guy...

Fuel economy tips
My old a/c pump and stuff probably weighed 100 Lbs.

Fuel economy tips
Some FYI... According to the "Tornado company" (they make the Tornado air spinner things) they recommend: --saving 100 Lbs from your car or trunck wil increase fuel economy by up to 2%. --having stuff on the roof can decrease fuel economy by up to 5%. I don't see how (or where) you could have 100 LBs of extra stuff in your Z... thx
