Not sure about the engine thing. You'll have to get the engine numbers and cross-reference that info. Ask a dealer. Or, maybe someone else here knows. Get your engine # and post it. Used injectors? Hmm... I wouldn't do it. But, I'm a stickler for good components like this. In fact, if you asked me... I'd tell you to replace all of the injectors with new ones. It's such a pain in the arse to replace, I'd do it right. If they were easier to replace, then I would say yes.... At least get rebuilt injectors. That way you know they aren't plugged. I had some pretty plugged up injectors due to old hoses.

Well, I did it... and I've been called a dummy (along with many other colorful names in the past). But, I don't know if you can replace the hose from the rail down to the injector itself. I just purchased all 6 new injectors and that particular flex-hose looks like it's permanently attached to the injector itself. As for all of the other hoses, replace them all when you have it apart... and make sure you use some compressed air to clean out the fuel rail at the same time. The injectors were fairly easy to replace and, yes, you need to pull the rail. There are a lot of little fuel hose clamps to remove and it's a job that requires patience. Make sure you don't bend the metal rail or you will need to buy a new one.

Uh oh... do I sense a new alias coming?

Can you take out the lines and make the Zcar shades of blue (leave the logo in full color)? I want to get the image size down to 15k or so.... This image is loaded by EVERY page on this site.

Done. You are now Ed.

Oooh mama... I like this one much better. It covers just about all years of the Z. And, I agree that the headlight buckets are one of the most famous parts of the Zed.

Ya, tell me what you want and I can change it.

My alias came from my Mum... She originally named me Michael. I've gone by Mike ever since I was a kid. I know... boring, eh? I also use another nickname on this board called Gholsie. My last name is Gholson and my coaches all used to call me Gholsie for some reason. I also go by Jedi. That originated back in the 70's when I was just a mere kid playing board games. My original name was Skywalker (probably because I am such a huge fan of Star Wars), and it was eventually broken down into Jedi. Now that Star Wars is too popular (again) with the kiddies, I've been using Jedi less often. At the time, it wasn't cliche, but, now that has all changed.

Hi all, I took a few photos of my trip to the V8 Supercar races on Sunday Aug 18, 2002. They are located on my personal gallery site (because they aren't related to Zed's). If you want to take a look at them, please follow this link: http://www.tatooniebar.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=3012&user=1&thumb=1 The races were great and the day was almost perfect. Only bad part was the crowds!!

Here's a great shot I took of a Fairlady logo I photographed at the MSA Nationals. I dunno, maybe you can do something with it... worth a shot anyway. http://www.240z.org/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=458

Or at least move the Datsun emblem over to the right a little more. Looks like it's missing now.

Would you be able to make a modification to this for me? - Remove the 240z. Possibly add a fairlady logo instead. I want to get away from a 240z only emphasis on the site.

Hey, that ballet-dancing spider man avatar is excellent. I couldn't stop laughing.

I've got about $10,000 into mine and it's still a shell. Paint job was about $6,500 and many other things like powder-coating, sandblasting, struts, shocks, new parts everywhere, and just too damn much to list.

I wasn't able to make it to the races on Sunday.

Alan, does the forecast call for rain on Sunday? What sort of weather are you expecting?

Last night I had the opportunity to participate in a local Melbourne (Australia) Zcar club meeting. Their club is called "Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club, Inc." I was greeted with nothing but friendly faces who all wanted to know more about our Internet Club. And, I also notice that many of the members in the NDSOC have been here to visit. Welcome to the site!! Anyway, we had a great time at the meeting and I was actually asked to stand up and give a small presentation about the Classic Zcar Club. I was happy to do so. The meeting lasted from about 8pm to 11:30pm with much discussion in the middle. I actually found out that the club will be at a race track on a small island to the East of Melbourne. It's called Phillip Island Circuit. I am planning to attend the meet and hopefully be able to grab a few pictures along the way. So, stay in touch and check back for some great picts next week. After that, I should be attending a race they call "V8's at Winton"... this event is pretty popular in the area and includes many stock and modified V8 race cars. I will also bring some pictures of that event as well. So, anyway... keep checking back because we have some exciting things to share with you. And, please hold out a warm welcome to our new Auzzie members! -- Mike

I think you are doing things right. Those door seals are known to be too fat. We have been advising people to just buy the factory door seals for the main doors because they work better. In fact, I think door seals from a later model 280z will also work. Someone else should back me up on that.

There is an option to upload a compressed version of your pictures in bulk. But, I haven't played around with it yet. Do you want to help me test this feature? [m]

Stevie, There is a Zfest 2002 gallery. You can post pictures in there. In fact, I created that gallery a long time ago in anticipation of these great pictures. [m]

That's correct... it's a 468x60 (pretty typical) and the banners rotate through.

Want to do a banner like that for us?

Oh damn guys!! Those logos look pretty nice. One of my biggest challenges with a logo in the upper left of the site is matching the blue background color perfectly (use an RGB value to get it right) and the lack of square or CUT lines. For instance, a cut line would show half of a car rather than smoothing the lines to make it blend nicely. I like the samples you've provided!! Got any more? :classic:

Damn damn damn... I can't make the show. I am going to be out of town. Anyone want to take some pictures and upload them to the gallery? I'll make a Zfest category right now for it....
