Hot Start Problem - a new clue and a work-around
One thing I have noticed: Last summer I changed out my intake/exhaust manifold. Being lazy I never got around to putting the heat shield back on. Since then, my hot start has gotten worse. Time to put it back on. Bad me, I should know better. Wondering if I should insulate it and were I can find insulation locally.

Door/window trim moulding pics
Agreed, I had a small swimming pool on the passenger side till I found and installed the seal. I would not expect it to make that big of a difference but it did. Even here in Seattle. I think I got mine from MSA.

will 280z 2+2 seats fit in a coupe?
Are you really sure? perhaps they can. I don't know myself as I have never tried but people install all sorts of different seats ranging from BMW to Mazda's in there car. I would be surprised if 2+2 seats could not be fitted. Perhaps just swapping out slide hardware.

Question about water temp switch?
switch or sensor? Anyhow I don't know why one would want to remove the sensor. If it is bad it's a really cheap item to replace.

Hot Start Problem - a new clue and a work-around
Just thinking out loud: What if there was an Air temp sensor that had the same resistance range as an inline resistore or pot people are putting inline from the WTS. Then if you mounted it near the fuel rail you would have automatic compinsation for the hot condition. Probably this would not work and there is no such atp in existance. Just thinking out loud.

Door/window trim moulding pics
The pic I provided shows the piece before I trimmed and glued it (only the upper portion) using lock-tight W/S cement, it is holding up nicely. The rear door peice I have not obtained yet so I can't help you there, sorry.

Turn over 240z engine on engine stand.
Pull the plugs yet? and I have heard ATF fluid and let it soak for a while. I am sure other people know more than I on this one.

fuel injection to webber carbs
I know I am not answering you're question, but there are ways of getting the EFI system to perform well. Search the forum or ask what you're symptoms are and you will get help. But at the least you will need of course, a new intake monifold and carbs, but you know this already.
