Rick, maybe you could come back as across of a pig and a dog-maybe there are some Shielas out there that have the idea you're already there! No worries though, we know that isn't good oil, you do respond on the keyboard, if it were true, your tongue would be waggin', and your fingers would be still! Will PS, the bit about a cats' wizz explains a good deal about the Disco era!

Carl, with enough time on your hands to get that score, either your car should be done, or you should be able to make most parts from scratch! That said, I am going to spend a little time bashing VIRTUAL penguins! My persuit of this activity in no way implies that I am cruel to animals, penguins in particular. Will

No way this is a Z, there would be no cockpit, the intake manifold is under and behind the firewall-not to mention wrong shape, and other give aways-this must be a large american car to move the engine that much. Most old cars from other countries were small land row boats compared to the land yachts we had in yesteryear! Will

No, The engine info is small relative to all that is in an FSM. Get the FSM 75 for the '75, and PM me! Will

Thanks Dave! I apploogize for the shortcoming in my short term memory! Will

Here is something else for your ebay appetite, and they go perfectly with europen springs, 240, 260, 280, it doesn't matter! http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=10657&sort=1&cat=500&page=3 Will

When I think of that I think of parts for my Z! Will

ODBII already has all but the GPS and transmitter functions already built in, and has for several years. When an OBDII equiped car has been in an accident, the data from the time of the accident can be downloaded from the ECM to verify the demands placed on the car prior to and at the time of the accident. The recording feature is limited to a small amount of time, but memory chips are cheep, and when the automakers get universally involved economies of scale will put everything on one chip for less than $5 Will

The guy selling them on ebay said it was good for about 40! Will

I resemble that remark! Will

The tranny gets pretty warm, but not hot, unless there is a problem-meaning the cosmetics would be the least of the worries. I think my choice will be to clean it-knock down the casting marks, and coat it with GlistenPC from the folks at POR15.com. I like the clean look of Eds and Panchovistas. Will

I am afraid I wold be more of a class case study than a student! Thanks just the same! Will

1) Before you do anything else, get a Factory Service Manual for your car-there is no better advice that a newby Z owner can get. The after market manuals are decent in a pinch some of the time, but the FSM is the way to go. 2)Following the FSM, check your plugs, points, cap, and rotor. If your plugs are anything other than NGK BPR6ES, remove them and throw them away(if they are Bosch Platinum-list them on Ebay with an off the hook BIN, and hope someone else is impressed by a spark plug that has platinum in its name enough to buy them). Give the car a simple tuneup. 2)Get a stepped feeler guage. (AutoZone carries it, but in this neck of the woods, most of the employees don't know what(or where) it is. It is in the tools section, and runs about $9). Follow the FSM procedure for adjustng the valves. I believe Valve adjustment is covered in the archives... Will

If you are after the electrics only, I have several working-at least when pulled-radio and cassette units they could be had cheep, and swapping the trim is easy! maroon was one of the most plentiful colors, but it fades and gets "the cumblies" horribly. I have a pretty good selection of spare interior trim too. Will Here is the message again-no new post to revive the thread: Here is a picture of most of the 280Zx radio parts I have. As you can see, the parts are all made by Hitachi not Clarion. All of these pieces were working when removed, and none of them has damage to the wiring. They are all as pulled, and as such will need cleaning and some touch up unless otherwise noted. None of the parts are is new condition, but all of them are restoreable, have no cracks or serious scratches, and would be right at home in a daily driver-after some cleaning. AAA is an almost complete radio pod-the only thing missing is the cigarette lighter. The ashtray, radio faceplate, and the cassette deck faceplate have obvious wear, with the cassette face plate being worst. The ashtray needs to be repainted. Notheing past the pigtales is included. $50 BBB is the circuitry for the sterio Wide switch, it has bothe the control found in a pod, the unit (found unre the passenger seat, and all the wiring between. $10 CCC is a cassette Deck with a faceplate-the faceplate need some cleanup/touchup, but is is complete and not damaged. $20 DDD and EEE are radios with no faceplates but with all buttons-could use some cleaning. $30 I did not find a lone antenna switch-I know I have one, but more searching will be needed. If you want more pictures of specific items, just let me know. If there are items you are interested in, let me know and I will get you the weights and shipping costs. Will PS, I will let you know on the other pieces from the '83 turbo, but I am keeping the alternator. I am hoping to pull the engine in a couple of weeks, when I do, all of the left overs will be available. Will

When I think of Salma, I think of a beautiful body, pretty much as she came from the factory, few if any real changes-little if any plastic! I think maybe you are looking for someone more along the lines of Latoya Jackson, enough plastic to cover most of the body-implants everywhere! Flares, spoilers, louvers, the works. Have a look at http://www.reactionresearch.com/automotivedetails.htm toward the bottom of the page-John Washington is the owner and fabricator-excellent work! Will

Carl, "(Many of my vices are located in the garage)" I shudder to contemplate your collection...Underware with sandpaper inserts :stupid: , a hot tub with 500 gallons of lime jello :classic: , and a life time supply of plastic sheets and motor oil-well that sort of belongs in the garage! Bryan, I have found that a firehose and a box of detergent can cleanup most messes-you might as to borrow them from Carl's garage :eek: Will

Be sure to catch him late in the day, and have him blow the froth off the better half a slab of XXXX (unless he likes plonk betta) before you ask, A little lubrication just might get you stuffed! Will

Gavin, If Neighbors only had the same reaction to cutting and welding in the back yard as they do to typing on a keyboard... Get real, I would have been at last years MSA show withthe car! Ya cranky bastard! Will

Brilliant! Will

Rick here is the one for you to ponder before you commit to your reincarnation! Dogs, cats, and most rodents can lick their own private parts easily. Pigs can't! :mad: Is a 30 minute workout that requires a partner better than one you can keep going yourself all day long-and into the next day... As a cat, DOG or a rodent, you could control both the intensity and the duration! Now we know why "fixed" animals get lazy and gain weight-nothing to lick forward too! :stupid: Will

Dr. Phill suggests that Penis envy and Z envy among owners of four cylinder cars with Blatt type exhausts and more money in road bling and "aerodynamic blasphome" than is real performance parts prompts those affected to project the "Dickness" that defines them on those around them, especially Z owners! The only effective treatment is a healthy dose of shrinking taillights from Z owning drivers. Almost miraculously, that is the only view a Neon or Honda owner gets, unless he happens to encounter a parked Z-which though rare, does occasionally happen-and, unfortunately, can be totally responsible for a complete relapse. The treatment also has been shown to actually exaccerbate the problem in those test subjects who are already in a state of denial before having to face the reality that there is no substitute for cubic inches. Dr. Phil also notes that those with a predisposition to this problem are 100 times more likely to appear on the Jerry Springer show(and subsequently in the unedited videos offered for sale) than on his own show. Another observation from Dr. Phil is that while most of the "guests" on the Springer show are paid character actors at the lowest point in their carreers, those infected with the previously described affliction just get their rocks off being in the spotlight even when it brings to, and saddens, the worlds view that they are in need of serious help.

Start with the good stuf until your tastebuds are numb, then drink the paint thinner! Will

The S30 is a P-ssy Wagon-meaning, drive one and you get plenty of... Only those misfortunate enoungh to have never found out first hand would call it a penis mobile-don't hold iit against them though, some people are born mentally challenged! Will

I see an FSM in your future....it shows where everything is, what to do with it, and how to troubleshoot it, all without waiting-not that I am not happy to help, just that having a printed expert when you are elbow deep in a wiring harness sure beats having to let go of the wire you just found to go make a post! Will
