    Interesting, how much is the installation of this product? I might be interested.

    Yeah this would be awesome. You can probably start with 3D printing prototypes. I know BMW has something similar with an adapter that can be mounted in a standard hydraulic jack. I believe it's called a "Jack Pad" or similar...

    I'd make them pay for the repair

    Some additional photos... rear tail light panel is now the correct color. ;)

    You guys recommend any changes to bring more value? I've been thinking about stock front nose (getting rid of the airdam).

    Gents, Looks like I might have to put up my Z for sale and I'm curious to know if there's a good market for the early-series Z cars right now. Mine is a 1971 model with parts from 1970 and 1971. Most of you know the history of my car but in a nutshell it was completely sandblasted and restored from the frame. Serial numbers do not match as the original owner let the car freeze while it was in storage. I've had the car since I was in high school (a looooong time ago). I bought it from the father of the original owner, Bob Gilder (pro golfer). Bob used the car when he was just getting started as a newlywed in the PGA. He used to drive the car to tournaments and I might be able to dig out a few photos of him pulling clubs out of the back of the car. Car was originally silver. Engine is a balanced/blueprinted L28 from Rebello and the carbs are triple Mikuni's with separate air cleaners. This was the first engine to have the triple weber setup from Steve at Ztherapy. Unfortunately it does not have the triple SU's as Steve kept those for his own projects. Suspension is adjustable Tokico's and matching springs. Pretty much everything else is stock except for the color of course. It does have sway bars installed. Dash is a new one from Les Cannaday when he was building the early reproductions that Nissan put together. Wheels are VTO classic 8's wrapped with tires that are only a few years old. Right now she's sitting covered in a storage unit and I just don't have the space to keep her at home. Windshield is the last remaining unit that we found in Nissan's inventory. All other glass is original, including the hatch with vertical defrosters (a 1970 model leftover when it was assembled). I have a Nismo fuel pump and bracket that has not yet been installed. Plenty of books, manuals, microfiche, and extra goodies will come with the deal. Not many things wrong, but there are a few glitches. The brake fluid distribution valve could use a rebuild. Some brake fluid dripped onto the rail under the distribution valve caused the paint to peel a bit. The MSA 6-1 headers get very hot and it affects the braking, I would think new owner should have the headers removed and coated or covered to prevent this (or use a higher temp brake fluid). There is a small paint bubble near the fuel filler that I have not yet looked into. Headlight cones were painted after the main car was done so the paint color is slightly different (body guy wasn't able to match the color exactly). Cold starts after sitting for months can sometimes take a few times, but she starts and drives without issue. Engine sounds great and does not leak any oil. Entire car is pristine and needs more daily attention than I've been giving her... I would consider her a stock resto-mod. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just comment here. Not sure if it would pull more value with a direct sale or if I should even consider putting her up on BAT. Thanks guys! Mike

    I found this and thought it was cool... so here I am sharing it with y'all
  8. Or just log in... What's the point of using guest mode?
  9. Done, I think it was your resolution but I was able to pull the menu down a little smaller so it no longer shows "More" thx for the feedback
  10. Yes, you can mostly thank the EU (GDPR) and California (CCPA)... We don't need to follow HIPPA since we are not storing healthcare information. Fun, right? 😵‍💫
  11. Fixed, thank you!
  12. I split this to a new thread because it was hijacking the intent of my original post. But, I will look for the code to see what changed. HybridZ is using the same software (thanks to yours truly) but they are still on the old version. They will likely update that site. I suspect there is a cookie policy change for guests, meaning the new 'internet' GDPR rules won't allow us to store cookies until someone accepts the terms and conditions. The old software did this without requiring strict acceptance. In order for the system to know where you left off, a cookie must be stored on your computer. Otherwise it has no idea who you are and where you were at during the last visit.
  13. The only option that guests can click is "Topics Last 24 Hours" which is shown here. When I click on a forum post in that list, it does look like the link takes me to the first post in the thread. I'll have to do some digging into the code to see what changed and provide a possible fix. Why do you think this is an important feature?
  14. What do you think it should do?
