We use Zone Alarm at work and it seems to be pretty good (personally I think that this is over kill here as we are behind countless firewalls - I work for IBM); it's mostly used on our laptops and I only turn it on when traveling and using networks I do not know or control (i.e. I don't use it at home but I do in hotels or other companies). If you have DSL or even Cable (i.e. Roadrunner) I would suggest a hardware firewall too. Something like the Linksys or Netgear or other brand broad band routers available as they have a built in firewall and also allow you to share that connection to all the computers in your house (you may need additional equipment depending on how many computers you have and where they are located). Better over protected than under protected!!

Not necessarily, many many sites have this set up when the pages load or on other events. Just go to geocities which I believe uses pop-ups to advertise and generate income for all the free websites they host for people. Yes, these are EXTREMELY hard to get rid of so make sure you protect yourself. There are ways around some of this. I have Kazaa installed on an old slower computer (PII 400) that is used for next to nothing so the pop-ups etc on it do not affect me. Furthermore, I do not leave it running...clicking close or the X does not do it, you must select it from the system tray and choose close from that menu. Next, I have also adjusted the settings so that downloads are not permitted from my system (I think it's called do not share my files). Plus if/when I download something I immediately move it off that computer all together. Yes, this program or any P2P software WILL slow down your internet connection when it's in use. Now I will warn you that Kazaa installs all kinds of crap with it that you can not uninstall otherwise Kazaa will not work either. This is another good reason to install it on an old machine you would otherwise get rid of. Hope people find this thread helpful and full of information.

Don't get Ad-aware 6.0 get Ad-aware SE it's the newest version and catches MUCH more. In addition to Ad-aware you should also go ahead and get Spybot and run it (they catch different programs on your system). As a friendly tip, if you are running something like Kazaa then you should use extreme caution in allowing either of these programs to remove things as there is certain 'spyware' that Kazaa and others like it require to run properly. Catch 22. Also, if pop-up bother you as they do me get a pop-up blocker! You can get one for as little as $20 and it's well worth the investment.

And where would the average Joe find such a product? Also, how toxic is it (how bad are the fumes)? And since the topic of stripping paint has come up... Has anyone used the automotive grade Read Strip product? I saw it on the web somewhere a few months back and can not find a like now but am interested if anyone has used it and what their thoughts are.

I'm planning on doing the same thing to mine when I do my engine work. Can you please tell me more about what you did? How did you strip the old paint? How did you do your prep work? How did you apply the POR15 (bursh or spray)? etc, etc.

I couldn't find any dates on the FSM for 1971 but on my 1972 FSM © is 1972 and it says "Printed in Japan".

The first pic that 26th posted is exactly what my '71 and '72 FSM look like.

You recall well...here is what my two say and they are both the single combine volume: Service Manual Datsun 240Z Sports Model S30 Series Engine Chassis and Body 1971 Service Manual Datsun 240Z Sports Engine Chassis and Body 1972 Now all I need are the 1970 and 1973 and my FSM collection will be complete. Anyone got either of these that would like to help complete my collection?

Do you have the short or long pigtail versions? What condition are they in?

Michael, can you tell me more about the one you posted the link to and email me the additional pix you said you have? Do you know what they want for it?

Over priced! There's no engine or tranny and it's rusted out so the body is trash. He wants way too much for it.

Hey 26th, those are the headlights I sold you! Glad to see that they are doing well and in GOOD company.

Yes, they do have lots of parts. I have been there a few times and got some things. Jerry (the owner) is not always the easiest person to deal with on the phone and don't bother by email but once you're in the shop it's not so bad. Don't look here for any series I parts though, I have and do regularly and they don't have any.

Where'd you find it and how much are we talking about...roughly?

Chat room??? I didn't even know that this site ever had one. :stupid:

Yep, he started the hack job on it right after the eBay auction ended. Go and search the thread on hybridz.org and you'll find out more information as this is where he was posting updates (at lease early on) about what he was doing.

So then a good question is how (it it's even possible) can one be made to fit and work in the early Z cars whith the L6 engine?

An L6 5-speed is somewhere around 70lbs give or take 10lbs from what I recall when I last moved the one in my garage.

Yep, looks stock to me too. I just tore down an '82 engine not too long ago and I have one from it that looks like this one.

este, I have yet to see in any post where you indicate where in Texas you live...it's a BIG state. You may want to update your profile with this info so you will never be asked again.

Shoot me a PM or email about this request.

See the pic below and let me know if these are what you are looking for. I have these for sale if you are interested. http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/Wheels/American%20Racing1.JPG

You're welcome guys! I'm just glad I have been able to give back to this group in some way for all the help I have received...and hope to continue getting.

Beautiful seat and I'd love to have it but I bet what I have to spend would insult you. Best of luck. Get out there and find a new job before you are forced to sell things you do not wish to...like this seat...and the car it's in.

I believe it and would expect at least that much hp with a twin turbo set et all like he has. These engines are capable of a lot of hp but like the othes said, it takes time and money.
