have you ever tried adding some choke when it starts misbehaving?

My Dad spent $250 to find out the A/C switch on the control panel was bad, not allowing the compressor to engage. I actually just got back from pulling one at a junkyard for him. I got the whole panel for free, they are going to crush the car when the metal prices go up some anyway. Fortunately the guy that took the dash apart to troubleshoot can now put it back together, not me.

New Lexus LC looks a lot like the Nissan Z concept car to me. Yep, I believe I would.

You may have some bad rubber allowing water to get in, that old musty car smell? I live in a very humid area and found a gun safe dehumidifier in the cabin helped a lot. https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-E-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1493815584&sr=1-2&keywords=gun+safe+dehumidifier

California car too! You won't have any trouble selling that one, it looks really good. maybe pay a professional to wheel and wax the paint, couple of hundred bucks and will make it really pop.

You haven't seen his wife, Meg White! She's purdy and looks 30 @ the most.

Not sure if this is pertinent but heres what I did for a cheap cold air intake. http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/57527-does-the-maf-sensor-need-to-be-adjusted-for-egr-delete/?do=findComment&comment=518477

@Zed Head I would quickly be asked to leave my neighborhood if I bought those. Low vins don't interest me anyway. Thanks though.

back the timing closer to spec and see if that decreases the popping. Didn't you say yesterday an exhaust shop said there was no leaking? That's who would know and will have high quality gaskets if needed.

Don't believe everything you read.

Try googleing hagerty classic car valuation. They use #1 thru #4. See where Punkin falls.

Are Bridgestones the OE tires for 240s? I keep seeing them as the original spare. Mine has a "Metric" spare. Thanks for any information. Cliff

I bought a '76 in 1986 after my Dad kept taking my Camaro away every time I did something he didn't like, about once a month. I had a savings account he didn't know about that my Mom started when they divorced. Bought the Z and had it registered in my Mother's name and told him to drive that Camaro up his arse. He was a big "buy American" guy back then so it really stung for him but about 5 years later my girlfriend slung a rod cap through the block of my 2nd Z. A '78 that me and my Dad rebuilt together. It wouldn't crank at first so he goes to work and ask his friends, he had the firing order set to a straight six Chevy or Ford, changed the wires around and BOOM ran like a champ.

$40K?

BAT says put dual webers on it but those SUs after a rebuild, I think paid Ztherapy $160 for the parts and instructional dvd, will be fine. Love that color. Looks like a great car too.

You just had one. Homer Simon

If you've changed the afm make sure there's not a crack in the accordion boot. Its easily done to forty year old rubber.

I can honestly say that is the ugliest ZX I've ever seen but to each his (most likely her) own.

That's normal with a performance exhaust, both my Zs do it and all the motorcycles I've had did it too. If it bothers you go to neutral, brake pads are cheaper than transmissions anyway. Someday you should watch and listen to an F1 race, they pop like crazy and usually have flames coming out. I think it's unburnt fuel/air mixture that causes it.

When my battery is low my blinkers won't blink, they light up but stay solid. After an overnight 2 amp charge they're fine.

For what it's worth I run these Hankooks on my orange Z, 205/50-R15 and love them for their look and price too. discounttire.com has them for $260 with $90 worth of rebates right now, $170. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?ra=searchTiresBySize.do&fl=&pc=19441&counter=0&ar=50&rd=15&cs=205

Charles I'm sorry if that came out as dickish but the dot dot dot at the end left me wondering what you meant. Nothing but love from here.

If your brown buddy is like mine, he'd eat that terra cotta tile you have. I wish I could get mine on the roof! Maybe he is scared of heights and could/would stay up there. Now he's digging to "Shina" as president trump would say, or is it "vagina", I haven't seen SNL in a few weeks. Beautiful dog, I'm sorry for your life without him. Cliff

Battery terminal? I'd like to think Greg would know that right off the bat. But a bad terminal on the alternator should show up with a volt meter. Or are talking about a bad connection on the parts store's equipment?
