No more heretical than the fact that the so called 'new era' GTO was built in Australia.

If your car was originally a California car, a bad altitude switch could cause what you're experiencing.

This thread deserves a Zombie award. Two years in the grave and suddenly it springs back to life.

I never understood why who owns or owned a car could make it worth more though that has always seemed to be the case. Unless it was especially built for the individual, It's the same car thay you or I could have bought. A friend of mine once owned one of Hubert Platt's Mustangs. By the time he got it, it was pretty much just a clapped out race car. He still paid more for it than one would have paid for any other 'garden variety' Mustang simply of because of it's notable previous owner. For those that don't know, Hubert Platt, who was known as the 'Georgia Shaker', was a successful NHRA drag racer in the 60s and 70s.

Yes, December 21 it is. Good luck everyone. Sblake01, I noticed you were in SB, CA. I just moved down here a year ago for school. How you liking the cold [for California] weather?

I warn you buddy, if you used an impact wrench to take off the peened nut without cutting off the peened part, you just ruined all the threads on that axle. Ask me how I know.

Wow, a Norm sighting!! There are a few 'legendary' members in this thread who's names I've not seen in years.

The way you typed your paragraph got you banned or suspended.

I've seen many clips of these and other vehicles being abused in the Middle East.

I saw this 2+2 and another 280z (unpictured) at the shop that Elvin works at.

^^Why is this person still allowed to post?

Just note that before you test the equipment-- fuel injection system, you must relieve the fuel pressure by having the vacuum hose disconnected from the fuel pressure regulator and remove the fuel tank cap. Hope this helps. Thanks!

I'm not even sure that unit would fit under an S30 dash.

Doubt that he'll hear you. Those were his only three posts on this site and he hasn't been here in almost six months.

It that the place that Roger ran? I beileve that's actually Mayrville rather than Marysville. Really sad to hear. He helped me quite a bit with parts for the 810 coupe I had. Some of the parts unique to that vehicle are more difficult to find than Z parts.

Looks like he's located somewhere in Sacramento, CA according to his location he put in the following forums........

I always though it was "Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way if they get angry they will be a mile away and barefoot."

I've worked on both types and, actually, the earlier type that would be stock for a 1973 240K would work fine if properly rebuilt. It's basically the same unit used the non North American market early S30 and here beginning with the North American market 1974 260Z through the 1978 280Z. I never noticed much, if any difference between the two performance wise.
