To Sell, or Not to Sell???
I'm going to be buried in my car!!! I've owned it for 28 years and my kids fight over who's going to get it when I die. I'm not ready yet so I drive and enjoy it. I'd pay and in fact did pay for the really good job, and never regretted it. I also have a '90' 300zx, the 240's better. My 2 Lincolns.

One for the purists!
Man, I was going to say that the mods were done with great execution. But after the previous comments I'm afraid mine might be the only execution.

Trick New Carbon-Composite Seat
Would that seat type be installed in a Toiletta, or an Outenhousen 2000?

Who are the worst drivers?
Well, if the hat were too tight that might explain your "screw drivers" response. !!!

Who are the worst drivers?
Bill, Have you been wearing that big tight hat again?

Who are the worst drivers?
Well Vicky, Over here in Polk county we call them the "white headed ganders". They drive 25 mph, make left hand turn outs to turn right, and think that the turn signal is a sign of their right of way. Not that their driving bothers me! Oh yeah, and they drive Buicks

Got a welder?
I bought my MIG some 13 years ago from Sam'S Club for about $195.00. My wife was pi--ed, mad, that I wasted the money. Since then I've repaired several of her things along with various Z items.

stalls while driving
Check the fuel filter. To start up right after shutting down, sounds like the filter is clogging, and when it sits the dirt settles back to the bottom until sucked up again.

Alternative Wheel Center Caps
Would a flat center plate fit on the front? Doesn't the front wheel hub stick out beyond the wheel?

How Old?
Seems that the geezers are winning the " Where are the Z's" war. I'm 51. Had my 72 since 1977. Street and show car. Driven not trailered.

What do you think of 72' Z as a daily driver?
Well if the car you are looking at was in Florida I'd say don't do it and where is it. Since it's in Cali. go for it. IF, most of the car checks out. Look for fluid leaks,oil, water, check the water in the radiator. If it's milky you could have a head gasket leak. Look behind the wheels for brake fluid leaks. Check the fuel filter for excess crud. Look at the back of the engine between the block and transmission. An oil leak there could mean a rear seal is leaking. Remove the air filter, stick your finger in the carb and push up on the piston. See if it travels easily. Both up and down. If it takes a while to drop, then it will need to be cleaned. Crank the car and repeat the carb thing while running. Listen for variations in sound. Also does it die. My 72 was a daily driver for several years, like 20. It never left me on the side of the road, but I was always inspecting her to keep tabs of the condition. Good Luck

Occasional low idle on starts...
Since it's injected, I would think it's the air flow meter. My 300 does the same thing sometimes. You might want to check out the throttle valve. They can get gummed up and need to be cleaned.

Driving poll
Mine is-was a garage queen. I spent so much time building her I was concerned about what I'd do if someone scratched her. That changed 3 1/2 years ago. Now I just drive when I want. Usually dry days though. Cars are meant to be driven. I still use my '90' as my daily driver, except today. 81 degrees and sunny. Had to take her out today.

Custom Airbox for triples
Check with Mull. Maybe you can get it in CF. That would look great.

Puzzling Oil Leak
You might find that a used gasket will just leak. A thin film of silicon can be used on each side of a gasket to help seal and hold the gasket in place, but not as a gasket itself. Oil preasure will find the weakest point and leak. If yo have a hard time finding a proper gasket, just purchase some gasket material and cut your own. Good luck.

headlight modification
Do you think all of that work in modifying the headlights is necessary? How often do you have to replace a headlight?

Carbon parts (post suggestions)
Are you guys still on the "What parts would like to see made from CF?" thread. Or has it morphed to THE TWILIGHT ZONE of CF parts and applications? Just courious.

fender flares
Inline6, Yours is the reason I suggested that bondo was placed on the metal up to the edge of the flare. Then glass the flare to the bondo. Fiberglass will not stick to metal, but bondo will and fiberglass will stick to bondo. As I said my fiberglass rear quarters have been on for 12 years without cracking. With no metal fasteners.
