I'll post some higher resolution pics. You took some nice pics marc. I especially like the one that Ania must have took of Mike's white 280. -Ben

Those were awesome Victor. Thanks for sharing. Here is a movie. Just click on where it says movie under the beautiful white Z. I wonder if Alfa saw those videos. There is a mean looking white GTR in there.:devious: Thanks again Victor. The Fairlady is very cool too. I would like one someday along with a bunch of Z's. http://jp.z.com/HERITAGE/history_s30.html -Ben

I know, those cars were punked. The one pic of the rear views of the cars is good. Yours is the most visable. We will definately have another meet. Take care, Ben

Hi Guus, your car looks great. I saw that picture in the gallery and it looks like a works car!!! There is some awesome cars in that race too. Some rare ones, the turbo 2002 and the fulva. I especially like the mini. I have a soft spot for those. Not as soft a spot as for the Z's. If only there were rallies like that here in the states. Sigh. My car could still not do it. hehehehe. Take care, and post more pics of your beautiful Z. -Ben:classic:

Hi Ben, sorry that you couldn't make it to the meet on the 21st. I wish I could make on the 27th, but I have exams that following week. Hmm, do you have any people going to your meet yet? If you don't get anybody, maybe we could plan for a date in the near future for another meet. Just pm me about it. I was going to try and see if there could be a meet a month if peoples schedule's permit. Take care, Ben too

one more...enjoy

Hey everyone, that was a great meet. The weather was great on Mt. Diablo and the drive was even better. Oh and Carl, we did not hit any bikers. I hope we have another meet in the near future and maybe more people will be inspired to go. -Ben:classic: p.s. picture. from right to left, my car, Marc's car(280z), Charlie's (stryder), Marc's friends car, and Canton's (z_boi).

Welcome to the forum prince. Skylines are welcome here. Alan, I had to do a double take there. I like 'Little Red Corvette.'

Hmm, how rough does your car run at idle? Is it going down in rpm's and then up, or do you have to give it gas at idle? I am not a mechanic, but my car runs at idle a little rough too. If it is a hot day my car runs pretty good at idle though. By the way, what is your rpm at idle Canton? -Ben

I just went on a drive and the car drove fine. I didn't go on a long one, but the weather was hot, I went up hills on the freeway, got on the gas some, and drove it around town in traffic. I am hoping that it is the gas filter like 2manyzs said. The car felt like it had a lot of power, but if it was the gas filter, why did it all of a sudden start doing this? The only time that the car would get bogged down was in the heat, on the freeway, and usually uphill. I would think that is when I need the most fuel. I am going on a drive with some guys from the forum tomorrow. that will be the true test. Thanks for everyones comments. -Ben

Hmmm... Well I replaced the gas filter and there was a bunch of rust in it. It is wierd because when I first got the car in 99 it sat for awhile and I had the filament and rust removed from the tank. Now it is there again. Also, the diaphragm in the gas pump is sucking in air with the gas. I took it on a drive yesterday and it did not have the problem, but it did feel a little shakey. As regards to gas, I go to this generic place all the time just to support a small business near my home. I am going to start using brand name gas from now on. I will keep you guys posted on how the car is running. -Ben

Thank you so much guys. Now I know why my car has been broncoing in the heat. I thought it was vapor lock, but you verified my claim. Now I have to insulate my hoses or get a heat shield to cover my exhaust manifold. Any suggestions? The only wierd thing is that my car just started doing this. I had driven it in the heat before with no problem until now. It was 88 degrees F both times when my car got vapor lock. Any more suggestions why it would all of a sudden happen now and not before? Thanks ahead of time, Ben

Thanks Enrique, I will have to try that stuff. I am using this gloss sealer called Master Formula. Has anyone heard of it? Thanks, Ben
