Sorry Hardway, I found it. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/44331-diy-how-to-recover-your-z-seats-lots-of-pictures/

@Hardway Has a great write up on seat r&r

Congratulations! I had been wondering where you've been until I saw your car for sale. I'm selling a 240 on craigslist right now and as the saying goes you get what you pay for, so I'm thinking of trying ebay and paying the fees. $10K, that's good money.

Or maybe some kind of guard for the blower motor? The contour of the bottom looks similar but without knowing the distance from the bolt holes I'm just guessing. Where's Waldo type a thing.

Heck yeah!

After rebuilding my 2.4 my gauge would peg out on the high side. After a couple hundred miles it lowered at idle. If the oil pressure is excessive will it blow the dipstick out? I'm thinking it's not in the same lines as the oil pressure sending unit so it wouldn't blow out. The pressure overflow valve under the filter was nice and springy feeling so I think I'm okay, I've never seen one peg the gauge like mine did though. Car runs fine after at least 500 miles, just curious. Thanks!

I replaced mine with high heat crimp on connectors. There is no rubber or plastic on them. And like Chuck said I closed them up for a sure tight fit.

That's a really nice looking car you have. I wish I was closer. I'd sell him my #110 red '72 240Z. EDIT: You might want to do a google search on Slick's Garage before giving him your keys, he's been in a lot of trouble. https://www.google.com/search?q=Slick's+Garage&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=Slick's+Garage&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Are "they" saying that from experience? We used to fill water guns with hot water and spray people walking down Bourbon Street from the balcony at the daiquiri bar I worked at. We would tell them it was wizz and they tried their damndest to get up there but no way, we had security guarding the bathrooms and stairway up there. I've never seen drunk guys get so mad after getting "peed" on and not able to do a damn thing about it. We could do anything to the drunks. We gave the cops free slices anytime they wanted and when a drunk person complained about us they went to jail. It was hilarious watching from behind the bar with security. So I guess it was better to get pissed off and walk away.

They got caught up in the excitement of ZCON.

Those women were robbed and raped by the time we got to see them run.

It has '72 also. http://www.classiczcars.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=62258

If it's a reman from a chain store it could be faulty. Happened to me a few months ago. Took it back and had it tested, FAILED, they overnighted another one and I had them test before I left the building. It PASSED and shows 13.75 at 900 RPM with nothing on but the spark plugs.

I wonder why they decided on a beetle as their namesake/brand image? Fast doesn't come to mind when I think of a June bug.

Bump!

Schneider fills in the blanks, there is an ink pen marking through HOT for valve lash.

roger Roger. I love that movie but when it first came out I was like 10 and didn't get the jokes. My parents were dying laughing, I think I went to lobby and played Asteroids.

Watching Austin City Limits, Thao and the get down stay down. Los Lobos up next. Hopefully I can get tickets during ZCON. Love that show and the production. 8^)

I am selling this car. I wanted to keep my personal business seperate from the forum but I thought I would offer to you guys before I sale it for not much more than I paid three and a half years ago. I paid $5,500 and have a buyer at $6k. Everybody seems scared at the rust but I've seen much worse. Anyway it is what it is and I'll sale for what I can.

More discussion equals more thoughts. The brain, use it or lose it. That's why I love this forum, you gotta think a little. With the exception of our "tell me what I want" members.

History lesson here? It is for me. Also a spelling lesson. One T in the US and Canada, two TTs in Europe. carburetor carburettor According to this it was fuel starvation at first then overly rich causing them to flood out. The early versions of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine came equipped with a SU carburettor. When these aeroplanes performed a negative G force manoeuvre (pitching the nose hard down), fuel was forced upwards to the top of the float chamber of the carburettor rather than into the engine, leading to loss of power. If the negative G continued, the fuel would collect in the top of the float chamber, forcing the float to the floor of the chamber. This would in turn open the needle valve to maximum, flooding the carburettor with fuel and drowning the supercharger with an over-rich mixture. This would lead to a rich mixture cut-out, which would shut down the engine completely, a serious drawback in combat.[1] Negative G commonly occurs when manoeuvring to fire on an enemy aircraft in a dogfight. Moving the stick forward would starve the engine of fuel, producing a sudden loss of power. This would let the enemy get away, and if continued the manoeuvre would cause the carburettor valve to open, provide far too rich a mixture and stop the engine. During the Battles of France and Britain, the German fighter aeroplanes had fuel injected engines and therefore did not suffer from this problem as the fuel injection pumps kept the fuel at a constant pressure whatever manoeuvres were made. The German pilots could exploit this by pitching steeply forward while pushing the throttle wide open, the pursuing British aircraft being left flat footed since trying to emulate the manoeuvre would result in loss of power, or fuel flooding and engine shutdown. The British countermeasure, a half roll so the aircraft would only be subjected to positive G as they followed German aircraft into a dive, could take enough time to let the enemy escape.

That makes perfect sense now that I am looking at your CAD image. When I disabled the rear my car would die so I turned the front further down to keep it running. I'm thinking there's a half a turn difference between mine. This winter I'm planning on going through all this information and get them more precise. But it ran pretty darn good this morning.

So that's the reason my Grandad was in Europe!

I dumped a FULL load of soaking wet crush and run with a single piston truck, converted from propane to a dump bed with wood sides, got all the way up and started to ease off. Twisted the bed off and damn near rolled the cab over. Almost crapped my pants. Tight-wad owner of the construction company I worked at for 18 years. He started off frugal but we ended up flying to Florida's pan handle in a Cessna CJ-1. 400 knots at around 22,000 feet. 5 hour drive took 45 minutes. Talk about a suck arse! I hated driving so bad I quit smoking so I could jump on the plane with him. We flew Joe Namath and Nick Saban many times. I have Joe Willies autographed book "#12" and a Crimson Tide football also Nick Saban signed football. Met Don Shula on that plane too. I pretended to be the co-pilot, University rules if your plane was part of their program. Khakis and a polo with Ray Bans, put the headphones on and I was a co pilot.
