Here's that compressor installed on post #13, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/27963-installing-the-gen-ii-mini-ac-into-my-240/ Make your own decision.

I'm laughing my face off!

No go on the black bumpers. Talked with Dave and the rears were of bad quality to him so he's not selling them. Offered a full refund or the chromes for Cyber Monday's price so I gladly went with chrome. Can't wait to see them on my car. I appreciate his attention to quality.

Here's what I'm waiting for, http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?bp=4-114.30&fl=&pc=45470&counter=1&wd=15&rw=7 They've been out of stock for a month at least but promised me they will have them before Christmas. I'm sure MSA would have 0 offset too. Call them, ask about their holiday sales. They're doing a 3 part sale.

Thank you. Took them apart and soaked them in lacquer thinner for a day. Then blasted the grime off with air. Found a video on youtube that had a very simple solution to the soda blaster I'd built but didn't work very well. He put a small nut inside the pick up end to reduce the volume of soda it sucks up. Worked like a champ and only used 6 lbs of soda! That's $3 for 6 boxes at Dollar General. Then slowly blend everything together with 0000 steel wool.

Cleaned my carbs for rebuilding Saturday morning.

Will do, thanks. They have to be better than fiberglass and that's where I was headed. Actually I bought them before I found futofab's powder coated steel bumpers.

Is it April already?

You won't want to leave! Traffic sucks though.

Talked to Dave Patten at futofab.com, he said the black powder coated bumpers were a satin finish. Perfect!!! Can hardly wait to receive them and will post up pictures as soon as I can. $543 for both front and rear to Alabama.

Her 280 doesn't have all that mess, fuel injected. Finally found a good thread with pictures for reference, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/17542-treating-insideoutside-of-gas-tank-with-por15-products-and-removing-evaporation-tank/ He's deleting the tank though but still has some useful info. Here's another picture that'll make you cringe.

I bought one from rockauto.com about 2 months ago, $106 with $27 core charge so it was $92 after paying the shipping back to NY of $13. The top left nut inside the cabin took me longer to remove than installing the whole thing. You can lay a short peice of wood across the inspection lid to the front of the wipers making a triangle to hold up the brake cylinders while you're working. I had to unbolt that brake line manifold down at the bottom too. It's tough the 1st time but if I ever have to do another one I'll know the tricks. Looks like rockauto doesn't have them now, here's the part I bought. https://www.google.com/search?q=A1+Cardone+Remanufactured+Power+Brake+Boosters+53-5246&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=A1+Cardone+Remanufactured+Power+Brake+Boosters+53-5246&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 You'll want to paint it black as it comes raw metal grey.

Seems like when I deleted mine there was a small hose going to the BPT valve? then from there to the side of the throttle body, driver's side. I had to plug that at the throttle body. Yellow circle in the attachment.

He's in Oslo, Norway. Buying the car from California's scammer. "I'm about to import a 240z from California to Norway."

I am pretty sure that article was written when Mr Gibbs son Kevin reopened the place. Now most of the cars are on their side with the catalytic converters cut out. He's crushing them pretty fast, clearing out everything to sale the land. I think it's 70 acres of oil and antifreeze soaked soil. He can't afford to clean it up so the rumor is he's talking with the county about buying it to make a transfer station for garbage, like a "dump". When I went a few years ago to look for Zs I was hiking around and out of nowhere there's this 280 sitting on top of an old 70's hippie van. I took some pics with my phone but before I could transfer them the phone fell out of my shorts pocket while mowing. You can guess what happened next, LG mulch.

Nice car to pass along to a friend. You're a fine man.

This may be why I have black plugs!

I bought all my hose at an O'Reilly's Auto Parts store. They had all the way up to 5/8" on hand. Hoses and clamps were around $60, quart of Red Kote tank liner was $30. I have hundreds of PEX fittings, so $100 and a week of time. If I can find some of the pics. Don't forget a Fram G2, $3 bucks, coming out of the tank's supply side. That picture isn't my 240s G2, thats a 280 with the G3. Nissan still has the fuel sending unit, $50. The wires going to it are what they call "nail head" connections and they are a PAIN. When you get them on slather them up with liquid electric tape. Picture: I used a 1/2" pex 90 degree for the small vent line above the sending unit. You'll need two 3/4" pex 90s for the 180 turn on the top of the tank, it's the 5/8" hose connection. I'll find a picture of that somewhere, I know it's on my computer! That box has the Nissan part number for the sending unit. You'll also need an O ring, p/n 17342-18000 Gotta go, more when I get time. Cliff

After taking some dramamine I watched the whole DVD. I quickly figured out why both my car's consoles are broken. The nozzles are stuck. Best money I've spent and my hands aren't even greasy, yet. Thanks Bruce and Steve.

Here's some Sta-Bil fogging oil for winterizing engines, it should work for your tank. I've never used it but it got 5 stars from amazon.com https://www.google.com/search?q=STA-BIL%2FFogging+oil&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=STA-BIL%2FFogging+oil&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58j69i60j69i61l2&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

Well there's my dilemma, 2.8 or 2.4? I've got both. A 2.8 bored .030" over with dished pistons or a 2.4 with flat pistons. I'm thinking of putting the E31 on a 2.4, then working that early E88 head I bought a few months ago to put on the 2.8. Decisions, decisions.

Look at this thread, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/6320-are-early-gas-tank-vent-systems-simpler/ The early ones had the "T" and no tank according to this.

Man that looks good! I've got a long way to go but plenty of time to get there. Need more grinding bits and some Mother's Polish.

I don't know where you'd find that coupling but when I did mine I used brass "PEX" fittings. Any plumbing supply or hardware store should have them. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=3%2F4%22%20pex%20coupling
