Vapor lock questions for the hotter climate guys
Jeff G told you that about a year ago.

A few photos of my clutch/engine gasket replacement!
Hold the phone, I was backwards. The centered side should connect to the S pipe. The offset should be at the bottom of the rear side. Still angled 1 to 7 though. Sorry about that, it's confusing as hell.

Actually 1oclock is where the S pipe connects and it should tilt like 1 to 7 looking towards the rear of your car from the front of the drivers rear tire. The output is centered. That's how both of mine worked out after a lot of reading (mostly looking at pictures). I can post photos when I'm home with my PC, tomorrow morning.

My muffler slightly touched the underside of my car, rattled at idle only. The offset should be at the top of the muffler where the "S" pipe connects.

1978 280z fuel pump not getting power
His fusible link for the pump maybe about to burn in half, or need the terminals cleaned.

A vast 40 year distance, making life good along the way with my Z's.
It keeps you young at heart to, desire that is. Jai will out live us all. I like to think I'm keeping mine as "low mileage" as possible but actually I'm so lazy I jump in my Camry instead of removing the car covers on my Zs.

Steering Rack Disassembly and Refurb
And these work good holding them in place, instead of the zip ties that come with them. ATV axle boot straps from a motorcycle shop.

If I live another 20 years there'll be one of these in my Z. I don't see how you do it Jai. Getting in is easy, just fall in, but climbing out is tough.

Another 240Z praise aritcle
I think the 240s are growing on Mr Wright. My magic 8 ball says "outlook good" when I asked if you would have one.

Thinking about installing an BMW M6 engine in my Z
Looks fantastic! I see a greenish tint, not blue. Whatever it's "ish" it looks really good.

Front end overhaul
Here's my cheap Stop Tec rotors. I'm happy with them and the ceramic pads I'm running. No brake dust or squealing. Street driving only. They have a left and right p/n.

[2017] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
That shows your hard work pays off, not actual money but smiles and trophies. Money comes later with all those trophies and accolades.

[2017] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
Life's tough isn't it. 80F here and 1 hour on the back roads. I needed to mix the new gas with the old.

They look upside down to me?

You're most welcome. I wish I could do more, I know you are frustrated.

81 5 speed "what it worth
I found my ZX transmission and f54 motor at a junkyard, $200. Paid a transmission guy $100 to look inside and put new seals in. He says those transmissions are pretty much bullet proof. $800 seems high to me, they are plentiful around here. That's the wide B. If it's rebuilt and all cleaned up plus delivered and i needed it then $800 doesn't sound too bad. I have read that the shift rods can get out of alignment while delivering and they won't go in gear. ZedyOneKenobi had that happen to one from zcarsource.com

280ZX vs 280ZX 2+2 transmissions
I have a '79 2+2 transmission in my '72. The ZX shifter wouldn't work with my console and boots. They are straight and my boots are angled toward the back. Some grinding of the '72 shifter worked for me. I put the 240 speedo cog in the ZX transmission, new oil seal around the speedo cable too. I like it. 75 @2,200rpm.
