New owner of '77 280z from Upstate SC
Hey, another '77 owner! Welcome and nice Z. Search out Blue's tech tips on the Atlantic Z site. He's got a 77 as well and has a lot of great info and how to's on his site. Congrats! PMG

Passed a Z on a trailer in SE Michigan today
Welcome fellow '77 owner. Good luck with her. Maybe a car cover for the elements is in order? PMG

Somebody else's work
If it was Christine's 280z then yes it was from Chicago. Undergoing a motor overhaul at one of the local speed shops at the moment. PMG

Rear spoiler for a 1971 240Z
I bought the MSA spoiler with the flat portion and the quality is OK. Some of the gel coat needs to be sanded down and blended.. Not bad overall especially when you compare it to their plastic bumpers; horrible. When I was dry fitting it however I noticed that the center notch, where the hatch lock button goes, is off centered. If I do center it, the entire spoiler will be off center by a few mm. Is this "normal" and did yours come out the same? PMG

Anyone ever try spraying their faded carpet black with upholstery/carpet paint? PMG

Pet Food Killing Pets, Including my Deanna, Vital Information
Wouldn't call it exactly like this. Drug companies would "sponsor" events, donate to causes that benefited the hospital etc.. This has since been legislated. Food treats to the staff are still welcomed ☺ PMG

Pet Food Killing Pets, Including my Deanna, Vital Information
Most of the popular brands, due to advertising, aren't good quality. Purina, puppy chow, science diet aren't quality at all. Taste of the wild, Blue Buffalo are some good ones. PMG

I open myself for you criticism!
Well then I'll volunteer my Z for painting so you can keep your skills up 😉 PMG

Bringing back the RedZ
I've been to one of their meets, I believe it was in Addison 2 summers ago. Nice group of guys. I haven't joined because I can't commit to the time. I just parked my 280 in the other side of the lot to not infringe on their car show. I'm in Inverness, by South Barrington/Schaumburg area. I'm by Dundee a lot to visit my parents in Buffalo Grove.

Project Boondoggle (or, so I went and bought a Z!)
I'm envious of of where you're at. My ac doesn't function and I wish I had the access you have at this point. I don't want to pull my dash for fear of cracking it. Keep on keeping on. Good work! PMG

13th Annual GT Awards goes to a 240z
I think I would like this kit more if it was molded on. The way it is, it looks like it was slapped on. The luster difference between the metal and fiber glass also throw me off. PMG

1/73 240z brown interior
This popped up while looking at that car.. Wow, is that price realistic? I know it costs a lot to do a proper resto, but you wouldn't expect to get your money back.. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-/111808930992?_trkparms=aid%253D222007%2526algo%253DSIC.MBE%2526ao%253D1%2526asc%253D20150519202348%2526meid%253D70138247b45046408eb6d12eac8f1b31%2526pid%253D100408%2526rk%253D2%2526rkt%253D18%2526mehot%253Dpp%2526sd%253D262134355729&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460 PMG

Best ideas for steering wheel replacement, 1975 z
I wonder how much those run refurbished. PMG

Best ideas for steering wheel replacement, 1975 z
I have 16x8 wheels with 225-50 and I wouldn't get smaller steering than stock. Would make low speed turns like parallel parking more of a task. PMG
