Here's a roadsign that just might make you want to get religion!

Hi Alex, I've bought after market starters from a couple of local parts stores. I've found NAPA has the best deal. They come with a lifetime gauruntee (sp?). You buy it once, and that's it. Replacements are free (with core exchange). I'm on my third one now. Although they only last a few years, that's no worse than the other guys and I've not been hastled about a return. One bit of advice. Thoroughly check the new (rebuilt) starter against the old one. Sometimes the rebuilders confuse the Z starter with the Datsun four cylinder starters. They're identical except for the length.

Why is there a park bench on that car?

You won't see much of a difference at 60 mph in fourth gear (standard 240Z 4 speed trany) running 206/60/14 tires. Only 132 rpm. Here's the site that has the calculator I used. http://www.geocities.com/z_design_studio/

ooh.........Same color scheme as my '75. Pics soon please.

My '75 280Z has the hazard light switch in the center/horizontal position. In the center/verticle position is the low fuel warning light. Hope this helps, Rob

47...48...49, Ya, that's it 49!!!

Did you get all the parts from MSA to install? Or did the muffler shop make up some of it? It'd be cool if you could post a .wav file recording of the sound it makes!

A father put his three year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers - which she ended by saying "God bless mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma, and good-bye grandpa." Father said, "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?" The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do." The next day grandpa died. Father thought it was a strange coincidence. A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers, which went like this - "God bless mommy, God bless daddy and good-bye grandma. Next day the grandmother died. My gosh, thought the father, this kid is in contact with the other side. Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say "God bless mommy and good-bye daddy." He practically went into shock. Couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch sent in and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be OK. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and went home. When he got home his wife said, "I've never seen you work so late, what's the matter?" He said, "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life." She said "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me. This morning the mailman dropped dead on our porch."

**************** One fine day in Ireland, a guy is out golfing and gets up to the 16th hole. He tees up and cranks one. Unfortunately, it goes into the woods on the side of the fairway. He goes looking for his ball and comes across this little guy with this huge knot on his head and the golf ball lying beside him. "Goodness," says the golfer and proceeds to revive the little guy. Upon awakening the little guy says, "Well, you caught me fair and square. I am a leprechaun and I will grant you three wishes." The man says "I can't take anything from you, I'm just glad I didn't hurt you too badly," and walks away. Watching the golfer depart, the leprechaun thinks to himself, "Well, he was a nice enough guy, and he did catch me, so I have to do something for him. I'll give him three things that I would want. I'll give him unlimited money, a great golf game and a fantastic sex life." Well, a year goes by and the same golfer is out golfing on the same course at the 16th hole. He gets up and hits one into the same woods and goes off looking for his ball. When he finds the ball he sees the same little guy and asks how he is doing. The leprechaun says, "I'm fine, and might I ask how your golf game is?" "It's great! I hit under par every time." "I did that for you. And might I ask how your money is holding out?" The golfer says, "Well, now that you mention it, every time I put my hand in my pocket, I pull out a hundred dollar bill." "I did that for you. And might I ask how your sex life is?" The golfer looks at him a little shyly and says, "Well, maybe once or twice a week." The leprechaun is floored and stammers, "Only once or twice a week????" "Well, that's not too bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish..............."

Little Sally was not the best student in Sunday school. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, "Tell me, Sally, who created the universe?" When Sally didn't stir, little Jason, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pen and jabbed her in the rear. "God Almighty!" shouted Sally and the teacher said, "Very good" and Sally fell back asleep. A while later the teacher asked Sally, "Who is our Lord and Savior?" Sally didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Jason came to the rescue and stuck her again. "Jesus Christ!" shouted Sally and the teacher said, "Very good," and Sally promptly fell back asleep. Once again the teacher called upon Sally and asked a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" And again, Jason jabbed her with the pen. This time Sally jumped up and shouted, "If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!

An Indian walks into a trading post and asks for toilet paper. The clerk asks if he would like no name, Charmin, or White Cloud. "White Cloud sounds like good Indian toilet paper," says the Indian. "How much is it?" "$1.00 a roll," the clerk replies. "That seems pretty expensive," responds the Indian. "What about the others?" "Charmin is $2.00 a roll, and no name is 50 cents a roll." The Indian didn't have much money, so he opts for the no name. Within a few hours, he is back at the trading post. "I have a name for the no name toilet paper," he announces to the clerk. "We shall call it John Wayne." "Why?" asked the confused clerk "Cause it's rough and it's tough and it don't take no $^!# off an Indian."

A man staggers into an emergency room with two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened? "Well, doc, it was like this", said the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife when she sliced her ball into a pasture of horses. We went to look for it and while I was rooting around, I noticed one of the horses had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail and sure enough, there was my wife's golf ball..........stuck right in the middle of the horse's butt. That's when I made my mistake." "What did you do?" asks the doctor. "Well, I lifted the tail and yelled to my wife, "Hey, this looks like yours!"

Little Timmy was in the garden filling in a hole when his neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Tim?" "My goldfish died," replied Timmy tearfully, "and I've just buried him." The neighbor was concerned. "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?" Little Timmy patted down the last heap of earth then replied, "That's because he's inside your cat.

Oscar drove his brand new Mercedes to his favorite sporting goods store. He parked it outside and went in to do a little perusing with Jan, his regular sales woman. Jan was a pretty blonde, and as Oscar walked into the store, she happily greeted him. But he requested to look around alone today before he needed her help. She obliged him and let him do his thing. Five minutes later, Jan came running up to him yelling, "Oscar! Oscar! I just saw someone driving off with your new Mercedes!" "Dear God! Did you try to stop him?" "No," she said, "I did better than that! I got the license plate number!"

NOW I'm paranoid!

A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory. The personnel manager explains her duties, and tells her to report to work promptly at 8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45AM, there's a knock at the personnel manager's door. The assembly line foreman comes in and starts ranting about this new employee. He says she's incredibly slow, and the whole line is backing up. The foreman takes the personnel manager down to the factory floor to show him the problem. Sure enough, Elmos are backed up all over the place. At the end of the line is the new employee. She has a roll of the material used for the Elmos and a big bag of marbles. They both watch as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles, and starts sewing the little package between Elmo's legs. The personnel manager starts laughing hysterically. After several minutes, he pulls himself together, walks over to the woman, and says, "I'm sorry, I guess you misunderstood me yesterday. Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."

Dwight, It's like this. Way too many people here in California, I feel, have "Liberated" themselves from the constraints of common sense & consideration by replacing it with greed. As a Cal. native of almost 5 decades (man, that makes me feel old!, not) I feel embarrassed by what too many times occurs here. BTW, if you want to put in your 2 cents worth, it'll cost 10 cents. After all this is California ya know. ha ha!

This guy sounds like the clueless morons selling $300,000 fixer-upper houses here in So. Cal. to like minded people.

My '68 Mustang had them, and I believe my dad's '68 Buick Riviera had them also.

Hi Shannon, The sticker from my 1975 280Z states that the Mfg's suggested retail base price was $6,284.00. This doesn't include $425.00 for A/C, $95.00 for California emission system, $75.00 for suggested dealer prep, or $77.00 for destination & hamdling charges. The total price for this Z when new was $6,956.00! WOW, big bucks!! Oh, by the way, this car was purchased at Anaheim Datsun in Southern California. If you need it, I can scan the sticker and email it to you. Good luck, Rob

Hi Derk, I've had a dash cap on my 280Z for about 20 years now and it has held up very well. There's no warping or fading at all. Unfortunately, my dad installed it when it was his car, and I "think" he bought it from Motorsport Auto. He bought the "partial" cover instead of the "full" style. If you decide to buy and install one, be sure to place the leading (front) edge under the windshield trim piece. This wasn't done to mine when my dad had it installed. It hasn't lifted or shifted, it just looks kind of hokey. Also, watch out for ebay prices. I've seen bids go beyond the price of the same item available directly from the sellers web site.

I received this joke from a friend today, and thought, because we are members from all over the world, this joke fits. ____________ There was this Asian lady married to an English gentleman and they lived in London. The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but managed to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries. One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, and in desperation, lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. The butcher got the message and the lady went home with chicken legs. The next day, she needed to get chicken breasts. Again, she didn't know how say it, and so she unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breast. The lady got what she wanted. On the third day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store... What were you thinking? Hellooooooo, her husband speaks English!!!!!

Hi Nigel You did a nice job with your web site. Very clean and straight forward. Easy to navigate too! That's a cool image of the Z in profile! I'm surprised you don't use it as your avatar. Also, that's a very nice 240Z.

I know other people have posted pics of the G-Nose Z but I thought some of you would like to see another.
