Plus if you look at any of my posts you'll see I don't really talk that way. I was doing it to be a bit funny...clearly it failed for some and not for others. Oh well. Anyhow, I'll keep my eyes open for some Z cars while in CA. I wanted Calli peeps to hollar at me to see if there was a way to catch dinner with some and maybe see their Z. I don't get to travel too much so it's nice to actually meet people you have come to know in the virtual world.

Anyone on here in the Torrance/Redondo Beach to Santa Monica area? If you are please shoot me a PM as I will be in those areas on business. Interested in what Z stuff there is in the area and maybe even attempting to meet up.

Ok, so I was watching Power Block and just saw them showcase another product I wanted to ask you guys about, Lizzard Skin. http://www.lizardskin.com/

Has anyone heard of and/or have any experience with a product called Boom Mat? It's a spray in sound deadening material. Here's a link to the website: http://www.designengineering.com/category/catalog/boom-mat-acoustical-products/boom-mat-spray

I found a wire harness that is possibly for a 240Z electronic fuel pump. The part number is 24015 e8200 and I was wondering if anyone here can confirm or deny what this harness is for...I just want to know before I buy it if it will work on my 1970 240Z that I need do the RX7 fuel pump upgrade in.

Give us the 411 on your NJ shop please!!

I've seen these before though never on the car, always in a pile of parts...in fact I believe I just sent one to the recycler last month. Clunks could be U-Joints or mounts or even the diff arrester strap. Check them all.

Bar none the best write up I have seen on this topic!!! Thank you Arne, I'll certainly be using your documentation when I make the switch to the JDM tail lights on my Series I.

Unfortunately that link is dead now. For what it's worth I have all of webdawg1's spreadsheets up to this point downloaded and hosted on my site also. I may consolidate them in to one file with each spreadsheet being one workbook/tab. Any how, here's the link: http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/Restoration%20Spreadsheets/

I've got those complete assemblies for sale, they are from a '73. Take a look at the pix on my website at www.TexasZ.net and let me know if you want them via PM or email.

I did!! He ended up posting a craigslist ad to which I responded and through a couple of exchanges I asked if he was ZXMan and it was! Just luck really. He said he had been out of town and things had fallen apart such as his website...he's working on getting things back on track though. I'll probably be seeing him in the near future to get a couple parts. All this just happened this past Friday too!!

Interesting idea, got any pix of the homemade rig you describe?

If you're looking for those parts I have a few of them for sale. Just shoot me a PM or email.

Good to see you back here! We met at a car show in Round Rock a few years back...loved your car then, even wanted the engine for myself! Can't wait to see it again when you are done with the changes. I even remember you yanking some parts from a DFW junk yard for me and bringing them to Austin when you came to visit someone.

Chris, why the L20B front cover?

First one is your antenna. It plugs in to the back of your radio.

You guys rock!! I knew his site was something like zxman.com and thought maybe I was just remembering incorrectly since I couldn't find him. I knew that he had moved to Round Rock a few years ago...my office in located there. saridout - the phone number is great! I'll give him a call next week. Thank you all for the help.

There's someone that goes by ZandZXMan or maybe it's just ZXMan. He was in the NE part of the country a couple years ago then moved to Texas. I used to have his website bookmarked and now I can not find it for the life of me. I've searched this site as well as the web with no luck. Does anyone here have the URL?

Can you two email me the videos please?

Not necessarily Mike, I have a server.

What is the video of? Can you email it to me?

Would you be interested in shipping me the E31 head (at my expense of course)?

sblake and 26th...you beat me to it! Anyhow, for anyone who wants to help grow the collective knowledge please contact me directly...I'd be glad to add what ever you have to my site.

I'm planning on running a '77 5-speed (early?) and an R180 3.9. The engine will be a 3.1L stroker with about 10:1 compression. The car will be for autox and some street driving (just for fun on nice days not a daily driver). Opinions?

While you're at it put on some Speed Bleaders, several people here have done so and like them. I'm putting them on when I do my brake system, in fact I've already got them sitting on the parts shelf in the garage. On the front you may also consider doing the 4Runner 4-piston caliper upgrade. This is another change I'm going to be making. Lastly, on the master cylinder consider going from the stock 7/8" model to the 15/16" model from a later Z car. The last two will make a noticable difference in your braking distance from what I've read. The above are items I'm changing on my brake system as a result of much research. I'm also doing drilled and slotted front rotors.
