  1. Ed beat me to it. I can do it for you also if it doesnt work out with Ed. Chris
  2. I have those in my garage, keeps the cars the right distance away from the work benches, shelving, and tool chests. Cant comment on the e-brake issue because I dont ever use it. I would think leaving a car in gear would only stress things if it's parked on a relatively steep hill. My 72 is an automatic and its usually parked in the P postion so I wouldnt see any harm to leave a manual in first. Come to think, my 73 is in the garage in reverse right now. FWIW Chris
  3. Hey TexasZ, try this web page for some technical reading on cams. http://www.cranecams.com/?show=faq&id=2 Much luck,
  4. Hey Ed that looks great. Can you give us a little info on how you accomplished that? Spent my weekend with family, relaxing in the shade, drinking cold beverages, grilling good food, splashing in the pool. Chris
  5. Thanks for the tool specs Gary. I'll miss you. Chris
  6. Hey Tomo, get some of the clamps from a 240SX. The ones below and above the fuel filter will work for you. And they are worm type high pressure. My 240SX has them and I put them on my wife's 280Z before we sold it. The hose must be high pressure rated, but you knew that I'm sure. FWIW Chris
  7. I took Bambikiller's advice and got some Boss Gloss from the POR15 website. Its a good product with no silicone. Some of you may have tried it and not liked it but with all the products out there its like the motor oil analogy. Product A versus Product B. To each his own. But, I dont use Armor All, never have never will. On a side note, my wife's 240SX has had its dash hit with lemon Pledge since 1990. Nice smell and nice results. Granted the dash is not the same material. FWIW, Chris
  8. I have heard that the Supra Turbo intercooler can work, and the Isuzu NPR truck intercooler will work. Those are cheaper alternatives than getting the three expensive name brands you listed. The Isuzu truck might be harder to find if you have no salvage yards for truck parts in your area. Chris
  9. Hey Gary, I have about a quarter inch all the way across on my 72. Hope that helps you. Much luck, Chris

    If you connect this orange wire to a bulb wire on one of the three gauges above the radio would that solve your problem? Just guessing. Since you said the previous radio was on the fritz and causing other problems I would sort out the car's problems and then wire in the stereo. FWIW Chris

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....you said Nards!!! Chris

    Good one Bill!! Chris
  13. Thanks Enrique and Carl, I had forgotten about the bag. When I stripped my 71 down years ago I was shocked when I found the motor in the bag. I wonder how "weatherproof" it really is. Chris
  14. Chris, that's excellent stuff. Now it's just a matter of finding that fog lamp switch somewhere. You wouldn't happen to have the part number for it would you? Thanks, ChrisA
  15. Hi Enrique, That's an interesting picture of the console cover. It looks like two switches in the center and two switches to the right where the choke like would be on my car. Never ever seen anything like that. COOL!! Your drawing is a dead ringer for the hazard lite switch in my 72 except my switch says "FLASH" on it I believe. Thanks for the info. Chris
  16. Thanks Enrique, that is some of the most useful info I've ever gleaned here yet. Can I get to this cap without taking the motor out of the car? Thanks, Chris
  17. Thanks Enrique, most helpful. So if I'm reading you right on a "series 2" car the "Fasten Seat Belt" lamp in the center of the fuse cover would have been the location of the switch on a fog lite equipped car? If this is so, I wonder where the "Fasten Seat Belt" indicator would have moved to or would the car just not have had one. Again, thanks for the information. If anybody has pictures of said fog lite switches in any year S30 please post them. Thanks. Chris
  18. Try and get us some pictures of that car, you've got our interest up. Chris
  19. Interesting to me Ben, shoot away. It would show what to look for. How do you think the Ziebart is doing for your car? Chris
  20. Hey Jessica, welcome to the group. Do live close to Council Bluffs? Chris
  21. Bet you're right on that. Back to the salvage yard!! Chris
  22. Carl and Vicky, on my 72 I can stop the wipers at the top of their arc if I shut the switch off at the right moment. I usually do it on accident and I have to turn the switch on and then off quickly and they'll park at the cowl. I just figured this was a Z quirk. Chris
