Mine is the second one,nd a I already have that diagram someplace. I'm still trying to find out where the P.C.V. thing is, or is that the hose under the intake? No dashpot either. thx

You're thinking of the wrong end of that hose. The vacuum is coming from inside the rocker cover.

I noticed that i'm getting a significant amount of vacuum from the hose connected to the rocker cover. Is that correct? thx.

It looks like you can do the same thing with your 280Z? Something else to read: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=368587#post368587

Be aware that the glove box light doesn't work unless you have the b ody lights or headlights turned on.

The vacuum slenoids are under the hood on the right side by the fuse links. The vacuum can should be underneath.

Also check that none of the connections/connectors to the sensors are exposed and touching bare metal. BTDT.

The ones I saw that all the stuff on it were from JVC. JVC Arsenal CD Receivers Most decent (less expensive) receivers are now under $200, about $170 on average. I see no reason to sped kilbux on a receiver & speakers. You really should be able to hear what's going on outside the car instead. What would do with the remote? I just reach over and adjust things- it's only 2 feet...

I looked at some of those things at a car audio store last week. One had a USB port on the front so you can plug in your IPOD (a 4-letter wordLOL ) or a USB flash drive. The latter one was scary, because the flash drive sticks out , and you could possibly kick it or hit it with something:eek: breaking it and/or the port, rendering the whole unit worthless. Having an IPOD port on the back is better, and the unit I liked best (from JVC) had a built-in CD/MP3 disk player, a mini-jack for your portable CD or MP3 player, satellite radio interface, etc, and an interface on the back for CD mgazine, etc.

I got the impression that there was a community of Jags? That reminds me of a few communities in the States where everybody own airplanes and the runway in just past your back yard! Would you consider an airplane hangar as a 3 1/w2- car garage?Something to do with your $200 Mill MegaLotta winnings- a neiborhood of Z owners!...

Those look really neat- in a modern sense. Do you think you could put some fins inside, like the OEM ones? It could make it look a little more like OEM, but it also has the newer frame that isn't brittle. I'd bet that only knowledgable people would know the dkifference. Either that or just leave it open for more air flow (assuming they're functional vents.) The rally hood was interesting... I wonder if you can aim those lamps, and I'll assume the lamps clear the bumper when you open the hood.

It could be that. The ingredients are "petroleum distillates" which can include oil types, and a sniff didn't smell like any solvent I know, so maybe all I did was to coat the inside of the engine with some oily stuff, then let it soak in, and boil & burn it off. OH- the engine did syall a few times while feeding the Seafoam in..

I put another can of Seafoam through the engine today- the WHOLE can. I used the intake port (ahead of the throttle boddy) for the valve cover hose this time to see if I could clean up the throttle plate (I heard about using 'throttle body spray' on TV.) It smoke a little while the Seafoam was goin in, but the real surprise was after I gave t 5- minute rest, then off to the highway. It smoked like mad- even inside the car. I suppose the open windows allowed the exhaust to circulate back in, but eventually it was cleaned out ( after about 8 miles.) Again this surpised me even more than the last time I tried Seafoam because it smoke twice as thick. So now I'm wondering why I got some smoke the last time I used Seafoam, and a lot more thistime? Dose that mean I'm starting to get get the carbon off finally? Maybe I should get another can after a tankfull (about 300 miles?) thx

Speaking of cracks. Should the vents lay in tight and not flex? That's probably why they crack. maybe a strip of double-sided tape in one or two inconspicuous spots will keep them from flexing or vibrating.

The point is that the MSA fiberglass vent looks bad, but if there was one that goes in from the bottom, to hide the bolts, I think it would look better. And I think it would also look good if it was a vent made with some louvers, even though a scoop-type vent might be able to let more air out. Some hot rod guys use put louvers on the hood in small groups, like the Z has. Some put a whole line or several lines of louvers. I didn't want the full link to the MSA louvers in my post because it wouldn't help illustrate MY point, and might be mistaken that way. And I put in the same link into post at the time I created it, not after.

Other than bolting the bar on, what would you do with the plastic covers & the seat belt units? Anybody have pics of a finished install? thx

If they were the kind that go in the hole from the bottom and stick up like they do in the picture, they might be worth looking into. Otherwise, I'd go with some metal ones with louvers punched into them,like hot rodders use. Those should also go in from the bottom & stick up high enough.

Maybe we should go back to discussing when & why it's OK to break the speed limit...

OUR national anthem is NOT "art!" You DON"T need to artistify it. I suppose you want the President to do some break dancin' after he takes the Oath of office? If you want to sing your heart out, then do it with feeling, not "art." If you want to sing loudy, then turn off the microphone...

It's the part that the chain is connected to and will turn on the center rivet so the chain doesn't get twisted.

People make a big thing about "patriotism" lately. I prefer to call it Nationalism, since that is what it really is. Any way... if you are a person with so much respect for your country, why dishonour the original songwriter by adding all those unnecesary flourishes & stuff? It's just plain disrespectful to do it a little, and damn sacrilegious to do it a lot. An then there's Roseanne Barr...

Should we put on the chain to the later model cars? I always hold the cap in my left hand (never put the cap down) as I pump gas, but it might be better to have a chain, or a wire. Was it just a bare chain, or did it have a protectove tube on the chain? thx

What's that, NACA style ones?http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/7BSA03/30-7090

Up til about 1997, I used to think of beer as "The official currency of the .U.S.A."LOL You could go to a ball game ( any kind- football, basebal, BB, tennis...) and get a beer for $1.25? and now (at the Jac in Cleveland, OH) it's $4!?? If you needed a favour, you first bought a six-pack, invited your buddy, then negotiated the rest while you worked ( and drank!) And imported beer was something "extra valuable.":p Back then you could even buy Bud, Miller, etc. oversees! PrOxLaMuS- I think the newer auto trans from a diesel Maxima could probably handle a turbo. Except nobody knows how to put one in a Z with all the electronic control stuff. (Will?)

Yeah, I had an example of a black lady murdering the national anthem, but I've also heard white people doing it- Usually country singers, I think.
