The best looking 240z period...
In my opinion the stretched tire look came from the tire shop that didn't have the right size to begin with(the counter person was from a clothing store-it'll ride up with wear...), and the store manager was of the opinion that sales people should "sell what we have-who cares if it what the customer needs."

ARRRGGGG My Z got hit!!
That law is to stop the old folks who followed the published advice of AARP and drive only in the left lane because stats prove more accidents happen in the right lane. I would like to get a hold of the idiot that came up with that logic-when used properly, the left lanes cary more trafic-it stands to reason they would log more accidents-not to mention many other reasons having to do with roadway layout and construction.

Lose the flares(probably have to add coilovers-but then you could run a tire that is really wide enough for those rims) and the scoop and you have something nice, with them replace the "N" with an "R". Still, a pretty car-even with the dents and mangled airdam-interesting color! WIll

$500 for used taillights??
I figure a NOS set should be worth at least 5 times a used set-I have one pair, $2500 anyone? That just sounds evil!!! I have bought many things from Blake, he always had correct ads, and great customer service, it isn't his fault if a pair of lazy buyers didn't look for a great set of taillights, and chose to have a bidding war. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy! Will

P90A and P90A head info needed... Lifter size?
I have the local dealer checking-Nissan Publications has been buisy when I have had them check-otherwise I would have the info for you already-they will keep trying until they find an answer for me-I asked them to check the parts too. I will drop by tomorrow and put an in person visit on the books-they are great guys, but they get buisy too. Will

Anyone seen this engine yet
I have had a highly questionable experience with this seller-ask lots of questions, get the answers before sending any money, make sure that you have some way of getting a refund if he sends you a beautiful piece of yard art! Will

P90A and P90A head info needed... Lifter size?
I believe you can convert a P90A to a P90 just by swapping parts. Will PS, I will see what I have on the valve train in the '83 FSM, and I will ask the local dealer if there was a manual specific to the P90 or P90A, if so, I will get them if they are available. Will

78 280Z Troubles
The gurgling in the fuel tank should stop when the car is off, or almost immediately. You should hear gurgling whenyou turn the key on with the starter soloniod disconnected for between 5 and 15 seconds, than it should stop-there is a circuit running through the afm that controls the fuel pump and stops it if no air is flowing into the engine. this control circuit is bypassed on a timer immediately at startup-which is what gives the engine gas before it is running. I would connect a mechanical fuel pressure gage to the fuel line in the the injector side of the filter, and check fuel pressure through out the rpm range. I would also check for a vacuum leak by having the car at idle and spraying wd40 all around the intake. If the idle gets faster, you have a leak, and at speed this could cause your stumbling, fix the leak, and that problem should go byebye! I would also check for a voltage drop from the engine block to the negative battery terminal(with the car at idle)-use a digital multimeter to read voltage putthe negative lead on the negative terminal of the battery, and the posative lead on a clean metal surface on the block or intake-any fluctuation over .25 volts, add a 10 gage ground wire between the block and the chassis or negative battery terminal, and test again.

Strip the cars back to shells, and have them dipped, and get back to them-the caustic bath will remove anything that the car could have encountered. More money, but a one shot cancelization of the bad potentials from the week under water. Will

Anyone running a P90A head? Need Help!
You would probably be cheepest in time and money to get, clean, and use a used P90 or p90A-line up the timing chain, bolt it down, bolt the other parts to it, and drive off-keep the other head for vernon to straighten out-so much has been done to it, I wouldn't want to be in a position to put more parts on it with modified plumbing through it.

You won't know for sure until you have the fenders off, but it looks like a patch panel is all they need. Will
