Thanks Chas. They really help freshen up the back end (insert joke here). The old ones were faded and peeling, so I definitely appreciate having clean, shiny ones in there! Everybody knows shiny stuff makes you go faster. I think my exhaust tips add about 25hp.

Inspect your bushings.

My tail light trim came out pretty nice. I've yet to do the green car, but will install them once I re-paint the surrounds.

Lots of S2000-swapped cars too. I loved the 1UZ Celica! It was so well executed and was a sleeper for sure. The gold and black 240Z has it's brake and clutch masters under the windshield cowl. Pretty ingenious! Lots of work went into that Z, I saw it at the ZONC show last year. It also had a nice side-exhaust setup (floor was modified for ground clearance). Darius' Z was amazing (black one)! I couldn't stop staring at it. There were so many cool, unique cars at the show. I really enjoyed speaking with various owners and seeing their personality in the car. Ingenuity and cool stories go a long way!

Saw a nice silver 240Z with black rear spoiler on the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday around 3pm!

Wish I could watch your guy make 'em.

Thanks Takashi, good shots! Looks like I missed out on seeing a few nice cars.

Cool stuff! Is the flange able to be 90deg to the air path though? Wouldn't you need a sharp corner at the ID on the flange end? I don't see how spinning can achieve that, unless you guys are doing something clever.

It's not like it's that difficult. Nobody is asking anyone to head to the library and list through archives of text. We're all sitting on our arse, typing on a keyboard. Type it into Google and there it is, no scanning through 40-year-old documents necessary. Again, it's not difficult...

Interesting... How is the mounting flange incorporated? Welding? That's what I was forseeing: welding on a mounting flange, drilling holes for mounting and for the center airway. The airway hole seems tricky (fixture and milling, or just grind it out by hand?).

I didn't take very many, I'm sure there will be some coverage on this, especially from JNC. Here are a few shots... Managed to cram this stuff in the Z Early morning, just after I showed up Nice examples of a Roadster and 510 Ooh, orange-y! Mmm, tasty. BAR-approved S2000 engine swap into Corolla There were so many awesome cars there. I took the time to check them out and talk to owners instead of taking photos. All in all, it was an awesome day at the Marina. What you see here is maybe 1/3 of the show.

That's because HBZ already has everything written out, you just have to look for it...

I'm guessing the valves at #2 and #6 are tight. A lash adjustment is definitely the next step.

Metal spinning is very cool, but probably not the "best" method for making air horns. The metal would have to deform quite a bit just to get it to the air horn shape. We CNC'd air horns for our FSAE car back in school. It's a cool idea though, I wouldn't mind seeing someone try it. I forsee a good bit of post-spinning hand-work though...

Excellent!

Awesome show James and Ivan, I enjoyed every second of it! Honestly, this was probably the most fun I've had at a car show. No judging/award BS. Great location, nice weather, and a lot of awesome people to hang out with!

BTW, what was the fix for the right tail light?

When measuring voltage at the power feed to the tail lights, where are you putting the negative terminal of your multimeter to? It sounds to me like you have an open circuit in your left tail light, i.e. a bad ground. However, you say that the turn signals work on the left tail light, which suggests the ground is OK. Are the bulbs correct? Strange...

FWIW... Japanese Nostalgic Car ? View topic - Marin Concours to have a JP Class 311s.org ? View topic - Marin Sonoma Concours - "Japanese Manufacture" - 5/19/13

Keep up the great work, that Z is fantastic!

I don't know how this hasn't sold yet...

My suggestion would be to first make 100% sure that the clutch is slipping. No point of replacing it if it works fine.

Or Google.

Looking good!!!

Yep, I said the same thing 2 months ago...
