Agreed. They do have info on the .100 needles as well, but they didn't write the java to put it into table form like they did for the .090s http://www.teglerizer.com/suneedledb/ Somewhere around here I've got a spreadsheet with all of them...

That table is needles designed for the .090 nozzle. Anything in that list will be way too rich to run in the .100 nozzle. Maybe one could switch over to a .090 nozzle/needle pair and find something that might work?

Seriously... You can say that with a straight face? If I told my wife I'm headed out to the garage to wax my drive shaft, I'm not sure she'd be home when I came back in.

KHAN!!!!!!!

Agreed! I think it looks great and I wish mine was that original. My PO applied paint is just one of a multitude of things that have been messed with on mine! If I were closer, I'd be happy to come over and swap interiors with you. I've got the black and have been digging the white for quite some time.

Good. Was hoping I wasn't crushing hopes and dreams... That's always a risk. So if I'm not mistaken (which is certainly not a given!!), I don't think a paint gauge will be necessary. It appears there is overspray: On the rubber bumpers on the top edge of the fenders that align the sides of the hood On the windshield washer bottle On the top of the pass door jamb latch Along the bottom of the pass door sill plate On the rubber door seals at the upper front corners of the doors (in front of the side view mirrors)

Guilty as charged. I'm not aware of an equivalent match for the N-27's and I believe that profile was developed custom for Hitachi for the Z's. Many people run the SM needles, and Stanley well described the issue that some people find with them. Boomguy, Just sent you PM as well.

Shield looks great! Have you conclusively confirmed that it has eliminated the problem you were chasing? Steve's Shield Shop. Has a nice ring to it... SSS Sounds like steam escaping like you're doing the French Mistake.

Beautiful, and looks like an unmolested example. I wish mine had been that un-messed with when I got it. However, with no bubble bursting intended... That's not original paint. It's been sprayed.

Where's my sunglasses??? Found 'em. Ahhh. That's better.

Beautiful. I love that color combo. How's the underside look?

Nice. Is the slug still stuck in the hole, or did the pin completely break off their punch?

Haha!! I understand completely. Someone's gotta do it! And for the record... Yes, I am well seasoned.

FlyingScot, I wasn't sure if there was anyone in that guard hut or not, and I didn't feel like taking a risk. Now I know for next time though! And next time, you and me at the bar in Cap's Place!

Hi Serban, This is the only other good pic I have of your car: And how bizarre is it that you mentioned Mosler... I saw this during my driving tour to search out the historical sites in Boca: That Mosler was directly across the narrow street at the entrance to Pearl City. This is the sign on the exit side:

Too many words... Pics or it didn't happen.

Groan.

Easy peasy on a lathe. Just make sure you have a catch pan under it.

The guy who owns that white Z is a member here, but he keeps a pretty low profile. I'll let him know people are asking. I agree that exhaust was pretty cool, but I don't know the details. FlyingScot, I wanted to see the site of the old safari park, but didn't know the whole neighborhood was private and gated until I got there. Best I could do (without attracting too much of the wrong kind of attention) was to snap a pic or two of the entrance as I sat at the stop sign across the street: The pic of the white Z IS in the lot for Cap's Place. Great eyes! I'm impressed! I tried to make it to there for dinner, but couldn't pull it off. Maybe if I get to the area again I can swing that. So I heard about the food at Cap's Place, but I didn't hear anything about the bar there. Is that worth going just for a couple drinks at the bar?

Check that out!! I'm headed to the garage to pull my dash!! Here's to hoping I've got something like that in mine!! Crap. Just got back... No luck.

You and me both my friend. You and me both. Now the only thing you can do is console yourself in the knowledge that you've got waaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much invested to stop now!!!

Sorry, my bad. I must be just getting lost in the description of the problem. When you said: "I have fuel, spark, but no power to fuel injectors", and "There's no power at the injector plugs, good ole Fluke confirms." I interpreted those as "there is no power to the injectors." But now with your latest "I have power on both sides of the injector plug", that's a step in the right direction and sounds like you're making good progress. Good luck with getting to the root of the problem.

Haha!! Based on the work so far, I'm sure it will all be worth it soon!!

Good luck with the fix. It's probably something relatively easy to take care of.

Beautiful photos. I was in the area once and tried to make it to the top of Pike's Peak in a rental car. It was raining at the bottom, and the ranger stopped us about 3/4 of the way to the top because it was blizzard conditions and road was closed because the snow plow slid off the side of the road. Something about the plow was trying to clear the avalanche? The thing was... They had just closed the road about a half hour before, and those who were already at the top were stuck there. Nobody up, and nobody down! I was with SWMBO, and I cannot imagine what would have happened if we were some of those stuck at the top... I'd still be hearing about it! She was already nervous about the roads and wanted to turn around. I wanted to get to the top and pressed on. If we would gotten stuck at the top, it would not have been pretty!
