Same thing happened to me... I just got use to it. the poly tightens things up nicely.

wow, just wow, great history there. Glad I picked up an ASNA before they were all gone. But a great story none the less. My fall back was going to be the Monza, but thats no more.

So let me understand... it makes the hissing sound even when the car is not running, just with the power on. If thats the case, it sounds like you have a leak somewhere in the fuel system. I think 280Z's have an electric fuel pump. Normally a hissing would be attributed to a vacuum leak, but if the engine is not running, thats a tough one.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I forgot to mention that. The only problem with going at it from the underside is shifter would spin when I turned the nut. And I had no way to grab the shifter hard enough to break the nut lose. From the inside, you can clamp down on the shifter. I also had my exhaust routed deep inside my driveshaft tunnel, so it was a bit in the way as well. Removing the center console was childsplay for my particular application.

Just thought I would update on my zeds progress. I decided to install the shifter bushings I had ordered almost a year ago. Well, what I learned is its FAR easier to do this from inside the car, than underneath. So for anybody who is looking to do this, its a piece of cake. I found out that I was missing some compression washers on top of my rubber bushings, and thats why my shifter was spinning. So I fabricated some and now my shifter not only feels more 'gated' but it no longer spins!!!!

You are correct, its suppose to be .20mm... on the intake and .25mm on the exhaust. Although I have always preferred a hot lash. I think it yields better results.

This looks just awesome! I may have a weekend project soon.

must have more pics of your car!

Thanks so very much.. I am in fact in love with those wheels in that vid! Are those Konigs?

Good question.. depending on how much you want to pay, you can get a nice european curved dizzy from MSA for a reasonable price.

I can respect that beandip! We all like different ice cream

Dang, I just updated that.. How about I wait until I get something else done...Not sure what that would be though?

I know its been beat to death, but after you do everything on Z trains list, try adding some 'redline water wetter'. I have used it on three different vehicles, and on all three, I have noticed a double digit difference.

This is just achingly beautiful... really its mindboggling how pristine everything... You sir, have me green with envy

Thanks guys, I love the new look, and I can finally get Arne off my back! haha RIF, check your personal messages.

To each his own. I am still 'finding' myself and what direction I want to take my car. THe longer I have it and drive it, I lean more an more to a more stock look. I love the stock car. I do not think the clears looked bad, but in my eyes, the character of the car is surfacing!

Thats hard to say. If it really bugs you, do a quick valve lash. Its easy insurance. If it persists, I would start with a compression check.

Dude, your gold rims are AWE-SOME

Yeah, thats one of the fixes talked about in that sticky linkage thread, right? I think the advice is to use a 280Z linkage rod, as its longer. I still need to find one though...

This is very good to know!! Thanks for the review!

As the title says, I want to replace the throttle linkage to fix my sticky throttle situation that many Z people experience. I know of the two fixes that are popular, but I have not been able to find anybody selling these linkage pieces... its the next thing to fix on the old girl...

Hey Houston TExas, Where at? I live near Kemah

Awesome, congrats!!!

Try replacing your cap and rotor.. just a hunch, but it really helped out my revving problems.
