  1. I find the incorrect items can be fairly easy to remedy. The VIN number is fixed however and they don't come up for sale that often and each year we lose a few of them.
  2. #229! Thats low. Hand throttle... Should draw a six figure number. If it doesn't it's a sign of the recent reduction in values. Even the other cars seem cheaper compared to 6 months ago
  3. That's possible. Most of these products cure for 30 days or more. I always wondered why high ends shops take so long to do cars and they seemed to sit for a long time between fits of work. Maybe that's why, they want all that shrinkage to set in before they continue work?

    That is what it appears like to me

    Is it easier to put the clip into the hole on the car first and then push the badge on? Where is a good source for the correct size pins?

    Do you have a link to what you bought? What was the thickness?
  7. I believe that was a factory option...

    Most of the heavy rain went East of us. It rained hard last night and we had some wind but nothing too bad, thankfully
  9. Some people drill and pin the spindle gear to prevent that
  10. Those are both really strong numbers for a 300ZX!

    We are expected to get a good bit of rain and possibly some relatively high winds but shouldn't be too bad. I'll know more Saturday or Sunday
  12. I would not consider those webers an upgrade to the SU's! Even triples might not really be an upgrade. Properly tuned SU's can support a lot of motor Steve beat me to it...
  13. So it takes weight to make it happen or the suspension in a certain position. That will narrow the possibilities
  14. I agree, don't put alot of heat into them. Cut a few seconds, let them cool, cut a few seconds... A 36 or 60 grit pad will give you the mm you need pretty quick
  15. I am unsure if these are the right part for you or not, but if I was going to trim them, I would pull a flap disc on a 4" grind and burn them down to what I wanted...

    My theory would be increased resistance lowers the voltage to the pump. Lower voltage turns the pump slower and with less force. Increasing cranking time waiting on fuel

    What material for the booster gasket? What did you use on the Zx bracket? Paint? Details on the quarter windows please
  18. Yes, it should. Smaller bores tend to be torquier which helps off the line. Everything's a compromise ...
  19. If it ain't broke, don't break it... Now if you had dyno time that might be a different story.
  20. If its posted on the internet it will be on hybrid Z. They reverse engineer many things
  21. That would be a great use of that old roof skin The joint at the A pillar and B pillar are leaded. Be careful working with that. You can easily get lead exposure! I don't know if the joint was welded or brazed but we were told by Matsuo? that those areas were designed to flex some. So making them too rigid could be detrimental. So it wouldn't be surprising if those areas were brazed

    Are they on the wrong sides possibly?

    Thanks Kats

  25. I disagree with dutchzcarguy. These cars are rare in Australia. Most of these parts are readily availabl, albeit not local. Find a roof skin and push on ahead!
