Good to hear from you mate! Frank. :devious:

texasz, it would actually be work trying to pull the rotating assemble out in the care while not causing the parts any damage, than just removing the engine all together. It might sound like more trouble to remove the engine, but it's not compared to remove the parts in the manner that you asked about. Once the engine is out you can have you way wiht it in any manner you need, with out all the suffering would go through otherwise. :devious:

In your post sblake your comments where directed AT Me. Not at the way the thread was going with other vehicles being mentioned other than Z's. I understand that MINE was the last one in line when you posted. That's was why I left my first comment. Yet YOU still had static with my original posting. I can, you can, every other member can read Mike's original post and take it as THEY would like to and add every different car to thier list they wish. But your comments where directed at MY post! And I truly find no personal enjoyment from "attacking" a fellow member from or club! Nor do I excpect to have to resort to such defense when I feel that a member is some how attacking me. Yes sblake your very secure, that's why you edited your original post! Yes I agree this is very done, and should never have happened! :devious:

But like other members would say "try the search function" :devious:

Yes, and Yes. :devious:

sorry dude. That's why radiator hoses get all soft and mushy when theres an oil leak in close proximity to them. They are not made for oil, only coolant/water. :devious:

The "O" ring you bought venom42 might fit and seems like it does the trick, but it in fact does not fit the bill for the apllication of "motor oil". It is not made with the proper chemical compostion to keep from being eaten by the oil it is bathed in. Oil eats rubber! Unless it was produce to fit in some application were said o ring was used in petrolum of some kind, maybe. Such product cost more than just on o ring to seal water. :devious:

Victor, What hassle? there is no hassle. I thought the State even suspended the 300 outta state importation tax. Which was if it has been suspended, the only hassle. :devious:

Nothing like a good cheater bar and being pissed offf! It'll work every time. In the end! :devious:

everything up like a eary 71 or 70. Leave the pcv, breather tapped into the air box(filter housing), vent to the filter housing, etc. Get rid of everything else. But remember to tune it like a earlier model Z :devious:

Just change the gear oil. All will be ok. Screwing with the end of the speedo cable wjere it meets the tranny is ok as well. As long as you get the square tang back in to mate with the drive all is well. :devious:

I thought that was old British iron, e.g. Nortons, Triumpets, Anything Leyland basicaly . But Of course you guys are right. My jag has one or two electrical problems (5) . :devious:

Wasn't PierreZ the other shop that Nissan Contracted to to the restos. I rember them closing to the public for a couple of years. Before the did I saw I z in the process of a ground up full restoration. It was perfect. After that I could not get anymore work done at PierreZ. This car is nice but that overspray on the vin tag in the door jam doesn't look very good. And the intermitten wipers were not offered till '73. :devious:

Hey now Ed, I got a Jag! Alpha What, what kind of comments? :devious:

You gotta love it here! :devious:

Just wanted to check up on Delta Dawn. I am sure every member that has read this thread is still very saddened by ZmeFly's passing. This is the fourth time i've reread the thread. I hope Dawn is doing ok considering all that she has gone through. My best wishes and thoughts are still with you. hope your doing ok. Remember you have support from those poeple who looked foward to coming here and running into him. and hopefully now you! Frank.

Is always that. Just Bad. Very sad that one of our Z loving members is gone. As his post and helpful commentary will be missed I can only imagine how deeply this affects Delta, my thoughts are with you in this time of grief. All of us here wish you the best and hope for your getting through this. Frank.

Ok guy's so it looks like LanceM has tried the '81's ecp48 adds that they will work, if all the parts are from the same time. Which would mean that the rotors from an early maxima will work with calipers from an early ZX. But not early and late together. If this is true, and Lance's not fitting issues were due to this, the question would be "Lance were the parts you were using from early and late 280ZX and Maximas?". If so then we would be able to use the bindders and rotors from and early 1979-80/81 280ZX(T) or Maxima on the 240Z. As well we could use the binders and rotors from later 1982-1983 280ZX(T) on the 240Z. But we can not us the rotors from a late maxima and the calipers from an earlier 280ZX(T) From all the information from all the members, due you guy's agree with this? :devious:

White smoke is water/coolant, aslo has a destictive smell. BLUE smoke is oil. Black smoke is rich (too much fuel). :devious:

JUST LIKE A STANZA. DID YOU GUYS GET THOSE. FOUR DOORS MID SIZED SQUARE 60/40 SPLIT REAR FOLD DOWN SEAT, SUNROOF, POWER DOORS/WINDOWS. BASICALLY A NICE SEDAN FOR IT'S DAY. :devious:
