Should I get a 240Z for my 1st car?
I realize Nebraska isnt Canada (althought it feels like it some winters)but I drive a 72 daily. In any weather! I've been driving a 240Z for 20 years and never gotten stuck. This past winter my buddy got his Civic SI stuck in an 8 inch snowfall....I drove TO him and pushed him out then DROVE home....in the Z!! I love to drive by folks in there FWD and 4WD cars and trucks while they're digging themselves out of a snow pile. My .02 Chris

New-age punishment for kids
I never knew my biological father, my mom married another guy and they had a daughter, my sister. I was disciplined with an iron fist by my mom but my "dad" wasnt to lay a finger on me. I did some stupid stuff as a teenager and I look back now and wonder what a good "father" role model would have done for me then. My sister got away with murder till she left the house. And she still at 31 years old is irresponsible and unrealiable and does what she pleases with no regrets. I guess I learned a little more than she did growing up. Oh well! Oh, its my PS2, my kid can get his own with his own money!!!! Chris

I believe that would be Moosehead. All you beer drinkers chime in now. Although Google turned up an Arlin Karger in Moorehead Minnesota that makes his own Pilsner....... Meanwhile the "oral adventures of Craven Moorehead" continue....... Chris

L24 horsepower
Hey HKSZ, why is the DMV so picky about what engine when you register the car? I have a L28 in my 240 and the DMV could care less, they just want to know how many cylinders and what fuel it burns. Curious, Chris

Everybody just drops right in
Stopped to get gas yesterday on my way to a club show. Guy walks over and starts to talk about how he misses his 77 280Z. Says he packed all his belongings in it and moved here from Cali. Then later I'm about 4 miles from the dealership where the show was and another guy pulls up and asks "what year" and I tell him to come to the show. He shows up and lo and behold, he's got THREE 240's at home in various states of repair. I think he's gonna get a lot of help getting them going now!!!:classic: Yes, it is truly amazing the number of people out there with such fond memories of their former cars and those I continue to find that have treasure at home hidden away.

Need help identifying interior console piece
Mike's picture is exactly what was on my 73. The round knob controls the thermostat with the long stiff capillary tube that goes over to the evaporator. The switch is on/off for the compressor clutch. My compressor said "ThermoKing" on it and there was installation paperwork in the glovebox when I bought the car. Thanks for the memories Mike. Chris

ZT Carbs and Advice
Hey Allan, I got a set of zt carbs back when Scott Bruning was running the show. They're really good stuff. The shafts are machined where the butterflies attach for a little more flow. The have the roller bearings on the shaft ends. From a "seat of the pants" opinion I really like the way the zt carbs seem to "come on" around 3000 rpm versus stock. I dont know if this is due to the aftermarket engine cam plus the zt carbs, but the stock carbs didnt have that "surge". My 73 uses the stock intakes but I too have some N36's I am getting ready to install if I ever get the time. I'm going to port match them and do a little parting line sanding. I drilled and tapped the smog ports and vacumm hose fittings and am plugging them off. I wish I knew a shop that did extrude honing and didnt charge an arm and left nut because I here that's a good way to better the flow. The balance tube from the 240Z is supposed to work on the N36 setup but I havent checked that out yet. Anyway, the carbs are superb!! Much luck, Chris
