Ed, and engine costs more than $.02, and your advice could easliy save an engine! BTW, I have pulled the gas filler plate for you. Will

Dan, These guys are right on your money. The seller is trying to give a very good idea of what the condition of the car is, and it is in need of a good deal of work to be a treasured car. All of the work can be done, but if you don't have the skills and tools, you will have to pay someone else to do it, and the expense and time frame fromthat will vey quickly turn a passionate feeling for a car into a frustrating and bad time. I would keep looking, that car is actually worse than a 2+2 I bought out junk yard last week for $250 . They are out there, use the internet, the Auto Trader type magazines, and the friends you make at clubs like this one to find a good car that is the condition you can work and LIVE with. You will be happier, your driving experience will be more fun, and you will keep and enjoy the car for a long time. Will

He is really after Budget and the schoolboard, you, your brother, and the janitor probably cant scrape enough net worth together to convince his laywer that he would get paid for his time.. If the facts of the case come out, the judge will see that Kevin went to grab it of his own free will, and was not coerced, pressured, or made to by anyone but himself. His decisions led him to split the rental fee, and to take responsability and liability for helping(He agreed to lend the van, and a hand if you paid him). He provided and accepted the van by entering into a rental agreement with Hertz and leaving the lot with it.. If neither the van or the wheel of the engine stand were defective, or in a state of dissrepair. all parties other than he provided an adequet level of care. If this happened as restated here, in Georgia, I would say that Kevin would be paying court costs and the collective plantifs legal costs for a good while, and that his lawyer would probably be publically repremanded in the court record for presenting a trivial case and wasting the courts, the plantifs, and the jurrys time. But then we have Judges who will eat a roach to protect CocaCola from the stupid crap some lawyers lawyers will try when going after a big fish. Will

I'm not going to ask what you had to do to get that info! Will

Honest Vicky, there was :classic: only aliitle vvoddkaa in my OJ this morning, Hic :stupid: WHilll Seriously-Oops! those fingers can't keep up with those thoughts...

Ya know, as I look ait again, it is white, right? All sirens are gray right? Isn't that that that piece the guy was selling of ebay that makes the car faster than the Millenium Faulken by creating a bubble in which selected laws of physics are changed? It is supposerd to make drag from moving through the air negligeable, allign all of the ions gasoline, make lubricant slicker than snot(blow your nose before you go for a drive)and increase the gravitational pull on the car to give it the ability to do a 6g turn, accellereation, and stop, and get 67 mpg doing it. If you used the "buy it now" he wired in a siren function as a disguise for free(normally a $12,000 option)! Wow! I hope he lists another one.... Of course it only works for one turn, and I bet the owner of this car already tried it out, so I guess, at this point, it is just a siren. Will

The plastic pieces are available from MotorSport Auto, Victoria British, and the Nissan dealer. I do have a spare ashtray cup. Will

That is a electric horn for the alarm system-not a factory part! Will

Update! MSA did give me a Z car club discount discount-even though it was not indicated on the invoice, it was reflected in the prices. They are sending me a Wheel seal at no charg! Doesn't look like being goofy is what they want to be known for, and Great Customer Service is. I can tell more about a committment to great customer service after a goof up than I can if there isn't one. What a great recovery! Will

When you get behind the wheel of a Z in a good state of repair, you will know that it drives like another Z, it is tight, accellerates readily, and the smile starts with the first blip of the pedal, and ends only with regret! If your Z reminds you of another car, you have some work to do because something is not right. Wax on, wax off Danielson! Will

Looks like an OEM part with nipples added. Problems that come to mind: 1)The supply tube does not have enough volume to feed all of those injectors throughout the powerband-talk about pressure drop! 2)The stock ECM does not have enough current to drive double its designed for load, Good idea, but unless you can take care of the problems, and have a turbo or supercharged system it will fit on, you would probably put it back at auction after playing with it.

Sounds like a no va to me! Will

Hey man, That is mine, and as owner, invenor, and creator of that intellectual property, I grant everyone who reads it the right to use it any way they see fit-just send me a picture!(I will not share, copy, distribute, or display it-but I will look at it, and enjoy!) Will

I would agree to dissagree and move on. Life is too short to worry about things you can't change-like other people. Will

What about instead of the BLACK PEARL, the RUSTZ BUCKET FEO2S30 FEO240Z 240ZR I wonder if all of those were available in only one color...SOrt of a brown orange... I think they could be had with any interior color thoug! Will

Tomohawk, I am after a pattern of the standard shift S30 shifter boot, but I will be happy to send you this brake boot-just send me back a pattern of the brake boot! WIll

Tomohawk, I'll send you a used brake boot, if you will send me a set patterns of the shifter boot and brake boot-whenever you get them. Maybe they would be a good post for the archives. PM me your address, and it will go out tomorrow. With that, I 'm in no rush for the paterns, My car is still under the knife (plasma cutter) on the rotisserie, waiting for more metal from Charley Osborne! Will

1GENZED, I must have missed that "variation" in the FSM, thanks for pointing that out! Will

Don't forget the colored ink! Will

~$7,500 all on parts-before front windshield, exhaust, paint, springs, seeatbelts, shocks, upholstery,and sterio(not necessarily in that order). Granted, I have bought NOS when ever I can find it reasonably, and refurbed that I could not find NOS. All of the labor is from my perspiration, I didn't count filling the welding tanks, wire, generic sheet metal, or bribes to others(food, drink, women, taillight lenses...) Will

Get the whole a/c system(inc the compressor bracket) from the 76, except the controls and the evaporator, it will fit with only a few tweeks, and look factory! Will

800 grit sandpaper, water and a massive smathering of elbow grease! Will

What Gary said! Will

I didn't give a primer on car painting becaouse I the article on Parts Edging in Autorestorer I referenced addressed the original question posed in this thread, whether to leave the panels off or reassemble to paint. Check outy the article, it nails the question! Given proper masking techniques, it has been my experience that shooting any light color low pigment translucent metal flake or pearl paint will respond wonderfully to the multi layer process, Each layer(starting from a different location on the car) has the suspended reflective particles oriented a different direction, creating several times more "action" or "electricity" in the paint with out adding the distraction of actually seeing the flakes(like looking at a .41 dot pitch monitor instead of a .24 dot pitch, thje picture is the same, but the eyestrain is completely different) The more action is in the paint, the more a huge difference is clearly made-unless the process is not done correctly The gloss benefits from the color sanding, but the transparent layers of suspended reflective surfaces is what really livens up the paint, and allows it to fade without affecting a color change as noticeably, or as quickly. Shooting paint that is a solid color with a high pigment density the same way is pointless. It is like a front surface mirror, there is no depth. When I want to shoot a dark color with metal flake or pearl, I shoot a base color coat first, then for a second coat, thin out the base color substantially with clear, mix in the additives, and shoot-atleast one more coat. This process brings out a depth unachieveable any other way-regardless of the paint system used. The key to the depth is the clear-even 1 coat will do, but, the key to the "electricity" is the layers of the reflective additives all slightly colored by the low density of the pigmnet layers in the paint. Will PS. if we all did everything the same way, there would be no differences in our cars-or us-what fun would that be?
