Northern California Z Car guys - Hey You!!!
I hope we will have an EFI expert, but we have the manual and there is a procedure outlined for testing it... Come on west coasters!

Auto Flexplate.
My Turbo flex plate is a welded unit. Sorry, I forgot to get back to you. I believe you sent me a PM some time back. It is from a ZXT and has a little bit of tooth rash in one spot where someone engaged the starter with the engine running.

We will basically be getting it running and finishing the details up. He will be feeding us Tri-tip, burgers, brats, and the fixings along with a good keg of Blue Moon to keep whistles wet. Basically, a Z car get together at one of the best Nor-Cal Restoration shops!

Cheap door lock fix
It would work, problem is they eat enough so just fixing the lock would be WAY cheaper! 8-)

Northern California Z Car guys - Hey You!!!
My friend has a long-term project car in his shop that he did rust repair on and painted a very red color. Now, the project is essentially done, but it will not start. I would like to do Mark a favor for all of the favors he has done me. So, I want to have a BBQ at his shop and gather all of you Z car experts, especially the EFI guys. It is a 280Z with LJet... He has the factory service manual... Before the critics start in, this project was a favor, he does mostly rust repair and modifications. Besides, my 240Z, he has not really even seen a Z except when I had the Carb Clinic at his shop with Keith Franck...

E31 head value
Dave Rebello will be building a motor for me over the winter. I gave him the choice of several different heads. He wants to use my E31 on flat-top pistons in an L28 block. It will have really high static compression which I believe he plans on taking care of with duration on the cam...

Tribal elders (you know who you are) – I need your opinion.
I guess I qualify. I've owned Z cars for 30+ years. I'd say leave it alone. It sounds valuable. Sell it to someone who sees that value and use the money to buy a nice driver. Maybe one that already has the mods you want done...

Except for the dirt road, this looks like my neighborhood. I often open my garage door to leave only to find a dozen wild mustangs in my yard. They are so cool to see...

Well, let's see, the Vette is toast for the 510 in corners. Especially tight ones. The Spyder has swing arm suspension so he's just out there having fun and staying out of the way. The 914 might be tough to catch if it's a six because it will have both power and handling... Looks like a fun day for the 510!

Paul says it was a parade lap/photo op at a Datsun get-together. He's 74 and details are fuzzy but he'll get back to me when he figures it out...
