Jeff is a great guy. He will get a kick out of it and appreciate your sticking up for his work.

I may have posted it before but worth a 2nd look: https://youtu.be/5rj5-49IW_U

I think you just exposed Mr H.

I'm wondering if you can spin them on a potter's wheel type contraption and sand the non-painted areas smooth then go for another re-chorme once smooth? The painted areas can be sanded and filled like regular body work so it is only the non-painted areas that need the extra attention.

Bright lad!

But then toe 300ZX came along: http://autowaffle.com/biscuits-and-crazy-the-spartan-ii-the-fanciest-300zx-in-the-world/

Thanks! I have a couple of early consoles. I'll have a look tonight. PM to be sent.

Thanks Mike. I can send you something you need. Now or later. Just let me know! I have loads of stuff. Philip

Getting the right sealants, oils, and greases also helps.

I need the plastic door "handle" part on a very early ash tray if anyone has this part for sale. The early lids were made from two parts, a handle and the main cover.

Hi Jim, I'll buy them. Paypal now or cash when I see you in June at Zcon works for me Philip

This one will get the dash.

Trained bats could get into that attic and fly parts out at night.

Good news. We decided to pass on F1 in Montreal for Austin ZCon.... Double trouble coming at you from NS.

I think the TPS and Air Temp alone would be too coarse for good a/f monitoring. Most cars have these with MAP or AFM and knock sensor along with the standard coolant temp.

I think a nice autocross race between the 280zx and this 300zx from ZCON 2015 is in order. The 300 may have a turbo though.

Maybe try to chase these down at Whitehead in Toronto: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/104844-fia-sumitoto-mk63-4-pistons-caliper/?p=1030825

3 Tuning of triples is key to gas smell for you and for those behind you. Most old cars stink from being too rich. Test with a wide band sensor. You should be able set the jets and fuel level to go a bit lean at cruise but be in the rich sweet spot when you are accelerating. Best of both worlds 1 The differential couples to the flat panels of the rear deck and the glass window also reflects sound forward. It is a noisy design. Using soft rubber bushings to decouple the differential helps. I noticed that my all stock 72 with 80,000miles has very little differential noise compared to others I have driven. The low wear and the drive line alignment corrections help reduce noise (compared to 70 and 71). 2 Manual steering is manual steering. The optional ball and socket compression mounts help on bumpy corners. If your compression rod bushings are too tight it also causes a poor feel. If the tension adjustment in the rack is too tight it will make steering stiff. Wide tires also make steering stiff but "rut grabby" too. I liked it when I installed a smaller steering wheel. A loss of mechanical advantage but nicer feel. 4 A quick experiment: Throw pillows and sleeping bags in the back hatch area and see if it makes a difference. A few layers of carpet or thick heavy rubber on the rear deck may help. I also found that the cavity where the muffler resides can couple more noise into the cabin: When I raised the muffler high into the cavity to hide it...wow it was loud in the cabin. Just lowering it a little made a big difference. Some sound proofing bituminous foil may help in this area..... just watch the heat and fire.
