Nice looking wheels. Very tempting! Click HERE to jump directly to the auction. -- Mike

ZX's are pieces of $^!#.

I'm not sure if the existing system will support that kind of bulb or not. When my car was running, I noticed that it had the similar headlight 'dim' associated with many other Z's. It was especially bad when I was younger and ran a high-voltage stereo system in my car. Times have changed for me and the car is sitting in the garage. But, I would consider upgrading the system because it would be pretty easy to do. Installing relays for the headlights can make a world-of-difference. -- Mike

Would you consider separating the family?

What's the link?

Those logos (on the images) suggest that it's an engineering company that probably has the resources to do this kind of thing. I would give my left nut to have that kind of fun!

Can you still buy new fuse boxes? I had one ordered many years ago and I never went to pick it up. Poor college student, was I.

Bingo... :cheeky: We all have differences of opinion. I like to see discussions where people present an opinion and provide possible solutions.

This is probably the one place where you won't get flamed for being a newbie. We've all been there. And, I respect the fact that you saved up your own cash instead of relying on your parents... makes you respect your car a little better. And, besides.... if someone flames you... I'll go after them.

Where do you get that idea? Bush asked the UN to be part of the war. They declined. Oil might be a part of the deal, but, it's not the ONLY reason. Read my sentence more carefully.

I've always wondered why people would loot, riot, and pillage their own neighborhoods. "Hey, I'm pissed off!! I'm going to burn down my own neighborhood!!" It just doesn't make logical sense to me. But, hey, I don't see how we could really control something like that. It sounds easy to say that we can crack heads. But, how exactly would you go about doing that? It's too easy to sit here behind our computers and come up with opinions, but, are they based on real-world facts and know-how? Not really.

The war isn't all about oil. People who think that are fooling themselves. There are other places to get oil.

Go with Figher/Wood/Leather. That's a sweet wheel. How much is it? The others either look too modern or plasticy.

Sorry to hear about that!! It's not easy to lose such a close pet. Don't worry about the non-Z related post. That rule is mainly to prevent spammers and flamers. You're part of our family and hope we can support you during this time. But, you're right, the decision sounds like it was for the best. The seisures and lack of eating/drinking would have been painful. Glad to see he went peacefully. Hope you're doing ok.

All that money and he's still got crappy wheels/tires.... man.

Kieth, set your DPI resolution to 600 or so. Email it to me and I can modify it to work here. IE: Scan at the highest resolution (600+ dpi) and use black/white mode. You can try greyscale or even full color photo to see what they turn out like.

Excellent! Let us know how it works out. Got a digital camera? Take a few shots and upload them... we'd love to see your progress.

Hiya, sorry nobody got to you... The sending unit is has a twist-off plate that holds it in place. I suggest that you buy a new sending unit and seal. Check with your local Nissan dealer for price. If you can't afford the sending unit, see if you can get the new seal. The plate should rotate to the left a few degrees and then pull straight out. Err... I should say that's what mine was like. What series and year car do you own? -- Mike PS: I moved this back into the HELP ME forum and deleted your old post. Not sure how you can seal it up w/out getting the parts you need. You could try removing the unit and making your own seal with cut-out gasket material.

Nice ride! Can you upload more pictures to your gallery so we can see more of the car?

That's pretty sweet... although I wonder where people get this kind of cash. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to pay for an L28 that needs a rebuild so I can install it in my 240z restoration project. Ugh...

How many different versions are available? I'd like to get them all on this site if possible. Right now we have 240z and 260z.

How many characters are you limited to in Oz?

Does someone have a 280z wiring diagram in electronic format? If so, can you send it to me? I have a member asking for one. -- Mike

Haynes: Rotate counter-clockwise. Translation: Clamp with vice-grips then beat repeatedly with hammer counter-clockwise. Haynes: This is a snug fit. Translation: Clamp with vice-grips then beat repeatedly with hammer. Haynes: This is a tight fit. Translation: Clamp with vice-grips then beat repeatedly with a hammer. Haynes: As described in Chapter 7... Translation: That'll teach you not to read through before you start. Now you are looking at scary photos of the inside of a gearbox. Haynes: Pry off Translation: Hammer a screwdriver into... Haynes: Undo... Translation: Go buy a can of WD40 (giant economy size). Haynes: Retain tiny spring... Translation: PINGGGG - "Where the hell did that go?" Haynes: Press and rotate to remove bulb... Translation: OK - that's the glass bit off, now fetch some good pliers to dig out the socket part (and maybe a piece of glass or two). Haynes: Lightly... Translation: Start off lightly and build up till the veins on your forehead are throbbing then clamp with vice-grips then beat repeatedly with hammer. Haynes: Weekly checks... Translation: If it isn't broken don't fix it. Haynes: Routine maintenance... Translation: If it isn't broken, it's about to be. We warned. Haynes: One Difficulty rating. Translation: An infant could do this... so how did you manage to **** it up? Haynes: Two Difficulty rating. Translation: Now you may think that you can do this because two is a low, teensy weensy number... but you also thought the wiring diagram was a map of the Tokyo underground (in fact that would have been more use to you). Haynes: Three Difficulty rating. Translation: Make sure you won't need your car for a couple of days. Haynes: Four Difficulty rating. Translation: You're not seriously considering this are you? Haynes: Five Difficulty rating. Translation: OK - but don't ever carry your loved ones in it again. Haynes: If not, you can fabricate your own special tool like this...

Translation: Prepare to humiliate yourself in front of someone you know. Haynes: Turning the engine will be easier with the spark plugs removed. Translation: However, starting the engine afterwards will be much harder. Once that sinking pit of your stomach feeling has subsided, you can start to feel deeply ashamed as you gingerly refit the spark plugs. Haynes: Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal. Translation: Yeah, right. But you swear in different places. Haynes: Pry away plastic locating pegs... Translation: Snap off... Haynes: Using a pin punch... Translation: Clamp with vice-grips then beat repeatedly with hammer. Haynes: Everyday toolkit Translation: AAA Card & Mobile Phone Haynes: Apply moderate heat... Translation: Unless you have a blast furnace, don't bother. Alternatively, clamp with vice-grips then beat repeatedly with hammer.

Those seats look like Recaros.... good question, I wonder if they'd fit a 240z. Who wants to buy them and try it? If they don't work... just sell on Ebay again.
