and more... No pins on the vent grills-the pins align and secure the inner plenums-meaning without the pins they slide around with each turn of the car-installation hole filled-and not opened up before installation means the grills pins were broken before installation. Lots of openings in the rear of the car, incomplete and miss-aligned repairs, untreated rust... The Passenger door is a filler piece too, but because it is painted silver, I could not get the pictures to show the dents inside...

As promised...

As pointed out earlier, fix it and paint is black to match the hood-if no one there can match the hood color-have both the hood and the hatch painted-or drive to an area that has paint and body shops that actually know what they are doing. Will

I have been watching AU ebay for years, contacted Warren, and even had an infamous and well travled bloody bastard from down under try to find one...no luck so far. I am still working out making one-the hardware is the holdup-I have castings for the arm, but de/re-cripming the mirror is seriously a hit and miss situation-at best! Will

A small and concise update. Out of 87 fasteners removed today 78 were coarse self-tapping sheetmetal screws-of those 64 were forced into locations with pre-cut threads. Six fasteners were correctly reused, and the balance were 10/24 threaded into metric threads. There were eighteen missing fasteners including the passenger side seat rear retainers-meaning the rear of the passenger seat was not bolted down-though the studs had been replaced. The door panels have cut lines and damage underneath, meaning they were probably not NOS, but a recovered set-though nicely done. The radio install included a dead Kicker Amp under the seat-not secured at all, and grounded with a self-drilling sheetmetal screw through the floor-it appears that the improperly prepared frayed ends of the 8g wires used shorted against the case blowing the underhood fuse, and the amp. For the fuel and vapor hoses in the back Al used heater hose, and made no attempt to seal the hoses where they passed through the floor. There are also several welding burn throughs at the back of the car-meaning more holes to the outside for fumes to pull through. Pictures will be posted later. Have a look at the speaker box-yes it is sagging when upside down. It was attatched at the bottom with a single self drilling sheet metal screw through the floor-right on top of the gas tank. Will

I'm really not sure whether to say thank you .....or ouch!:finger: Will

Zak, Right now everything in in acrobat, I am experimenting with indexing the files and compiling the files and the index into a companded executable that has to be keyed with a second bootable program that temporarily disables the screen capture/file manipulation abilities of Dos/windows, and forces clock speed down. It is not stable on overclocked machines, is horribly cumbersome, allows no printing, and would force Carl Beck to have A PC-the Mac/PC emulators don't stand a chance of running it... This is not what I want for the project. I have considered watermarking the pages-and will definitely-but... Mike has a copywrite exemption for all printed documents involving the S30 series-so Nissan owns the rights, but we have license to use them. I have also considered serializing the copies (both on the media and in the software), and forcing online registration/authentication each time the software is accessed-again, not what I want for the project-but it seems the best option at the moment as the process could be set up on the club server(s) and possibly be integrated into Vbulletin. Will

It goes SLOW! The scanning is done, but the indexing and menues are monsterous. I want to make the searches as thorough as possible across all of the documents, and that is proving a serious task for any software I have tried. The most serious issue is to protect the data so that it remains exclusive to this club. The last thing I want is to have spent this much time and effort(by me and others) doing something to help the club and have it or parts of it end up on ebay lining the pockets of a lazy bastard, or posted on another website. This iteration of this content is for this club and the exclusive personal use of its members. I am completely open to suggestions for menues and further copy protection. As to the size. A healthy number of the scans were done in high resolution that really does not help viewing the documents, if I lower the resolution, they can all fit on a DVD, and be useable-even if printed. Will

Yes, it did, but his idea of a new hatch, and Nissans are just a wee bit different-not to mention MINE! I'll have to find a local member to ask to check it out-looks like rust free may be a matter of interpretation, not fact... Will

Yup! I wanted the hatch for the Fully Restored car Al Newell sold.

Take out the rivets at the top and they will either fall or pop our-pressure clipped in, held by the rivets. Will

A preview of ebay things to come...again, and again, and again! Will

Most of those NOS parts are still available from your local dealer, fenders, hood, etc, with very little travel time to get them. I talked to him (Really nice guy!) about the parts, He got more than what he was looking for ($1000), and good for him! Too much money and time for the parts I wanted. Will

...So you are the one who bought the Catipillar yellow 280zx powered snow plow several years ago! Standing out is not aways a good thing! Will

:eek: Stephen...Pinto.....Pintohno! Say it aint so! Then again...Bambikiller240Z did confess to keeping(hiding?) a pinto in his garage....so you were in good company... Mike, did you ask to see if anyone was closer to check it out for you? Will

Well, with because the tank has two 6" diameter sender openings(saddlebag style tank), allowing me to get to most of the tank, I chose to clean it out with simple green, some really hot water, and a serious slathering of elbow grease! I flowed around three cup fulls of loose fine sawdust consistency crap out with carefull aiming of the hose, then got busy and scrubbed everywhere I could reach(most of the tank) with a shop rag. The default sender side had a plastic baffle in it-fortunately held in by 5 bent over metal strips-that I was able take loose, and manipulate the baffle inside the tank to clean the areas it covered. add an hour, a blow dryer, and a four foot piece of 2"pvc pipe(to keep the blow dryer out of the fumes exiting the tank)and the tank was bone dry and back to a dull gray zinc finish inside! Since I had power to the sender harness, I replaced the fuel pump-certain it was simply frozen from being suspended in all of the crap I took out of the tank-only to find the new pump didn't work! I then thought "what a dipstick for I was for assuming", and ran my jumpbox to the old pump and started right up...$250 I shouldn't have spent...then I tried power directly to the new pump-suprise, it worked too. Tracking the issue further, the power for the pump is sent through the sender cap through a brass rivet sandwiching and centering what amounts to two plastic washers, a rubber insulator, and a brass washer that is connected to the pump. I had power to the rivet and not to the brass washer it was swagged on to! Contact cleaner was no help-the first time DeOxit has let me down-so I punted... I trimmed off the swagged part of the rivet, and separated the rivet and the brass washer. As with a typical rivet, there was a significant hollow portion still usable-though not as intended. I found the hollow portion was around 2.1mm in diameter, and the rivet was 3mm in diameter, so I drilled the hollow portion slightly larger and used a 2.5mm stainless machine screw to thread the hole to a depth of approx 1cm. Then I put two nuts on the machine screw, trimmed it to size with a dremel cut-off wheel, dressed the end, put a stainless lock and flatwasher on the screw and tightened her up! When tested, the pump ran like it should I replaced the sender, put in some gas and started her up. She ran smooth(vibration-wise), but noisy(empty lifters-seriously loud squeeling belt) immediately-more white smoke than I could believe-thought briefly a head gasket had given up... After 20 minutes the smoke tapered off to none, and the engine ran even smoother(I wouldn't have thought it possible) and quiet as a mouse! I even had time this afternoon to get her insured and tagged! Now I just have to get new tires and pads, and take her out on the road! A friend who is a Nissan tech came over, and used his reader to reset the ecm, found a bad Vehicle Speed Sensor, and remarked how dead on everything else was! We did not one peculiar dripping sound with no accompanying puddle...something to keep and eye on as I take her off the jack stands... Will

I think I would just walk away...the guy has only a vague idea of what he has, and even less of an idea how to sell it. You only hide what you don't want people to know, and as a vague seller, what you don't want people to know when selling something are the things that keep it from being valuable. Will

Ron, put me up for a set, I think I have a pair or two of clear glass lenses that will fit-it I do, they do and you want the second set, they are yours-a little closer to the originals-I'll even color the reflectors for you. Will

That white stuf is not snow, read the ad again...pretty clear what it is...and that the seller has been on it too long.... Will

Is it just me, or does it sound crazy to think someone will by a low vin without knowing what the vin is? This would be a case of "For those that truely want to sell. I won't reveal my bid until the vin is posted." Will

I would be very interested-but only with the approval of Mr. Brock! Will

It is far better than a Z33, worse than a Z32, and atleast favors a 240Z more than an Audi! The front and rear lighting and teeth look to be lifted right out of cartoons-I just can't take them seriously...but then cartoons were solely for enjoyment...untill ProjectX! I haven't seen the 370Zs options list, but a portable hole and an acme dis-integrator ray gun would be right at home, and a commercial where Wiley catches the road runner in a 350Z would work as long as Bugs, Chip, Dale, Yosimite Sam, the Elephant, and the singing frog(for a 350z link) are worked in, and maybe the alien to dis-integrate the competition...or those who don't take the teeth and lights seriously! I am sure it is a great car. Will
