Mr Camouflage

My first life keeps me busy enough.

I wonder how the mechanical and electrical systems of modern cars will stand up 30 years from now. Pre 80's cars are generally all mechanical with very basic electrical systems. But since the 80's computerised components have steadily increased in use, and so has the use of plastics. These parts are going to be the expensive parts to replace 25 years from now when they quit working. Some of which are not designed to last that long. I've heard the electrical connectors in the Z32 are biodegradable. Anyone with a 260/280z would know how plastics can degrade. Just look at how the fuseable link covers on those cars have stood up. I've seen ones that have crumbled away to brittle chunks of plastic.

Post some more pics when you fit the flares:)

Damn, mines right hand drive.

Maybe you are. The 350Z was designed by an Englishman.

So people are condoning theft now? How would you feel if someone stole parts out of your garage, or from your car, or from your business.

240K video This guy is crazy

Aparently the woman that get into the car is supposed to be a ghost, if you believe that sort of thing. I think its all fake, blair witch style.

Here it is.

Ah that reminds me. I have a 240z belt buckle. I'll dig it out an take a photo. Stay tuned.

if you think those videos are scary, this one will freak you right out. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5489018464221065117

Ha thats funny. I like the Dustin Hoffman Rainman samples. Obviously fake - something somebody edited up on their computer. Its not a Bruckheimer production. couple of photos of the car here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0811080/photogallery

I wonder if theres any time limit on when the laws apply? For example if the tint was applied 6 years ago and it was legal then, and in the mean time they changed the law, would your car have to comply, or would it be exempt?

Its not just the transmission, now his engine is on fire too: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=27586 Had you posted that information in this thread. I would have suggested your overflow on you flow bowls is leaking. What does it do when it leaks? It squirts petrol right onto your exhaust manifold/pipe.

I think that's just perspective playing ticks on your eyes.

Hmmm. I see where they've wiped years of oil grime of the front of the engine and sump, but stopped about half way up the side of the block. And Didn't wipe the anti sway bar, or steering rack. And they've replaced the diamond vinyl with carpet and plain vinyl.

Get it up on jack stands and have a look at whats burning.

You cant believe all you read in books. Some books still claim the 240Z was designed by a German.

If you are just browsing the site you can run it through google translator (french to english works on english sites). That way the logged ip's only go back to google.

There is nothing to debate. They are (well appear to be) Kobe Seiko manufactured wheels that were a Nissan option for JDM Fairlady Z. All Portuguese 240Z got them as standard? Cool. Do yours have date stamps on them and what size are they?

Rods??? in the head ???? what sort of rods would those be???

Now thats the best advice. If you want something done right.....

The camera on the roof was a cool touch. How'd you manage that?

Yeah. I got told at a petrol station that my 86 turbo Z31 was "old school". I guess it its to people under 30. As for the 240K, If you told them it was a mid 70's Skyline they might have known what it was.

Its only available from Japan on VHS tape (No DVD), and you have to learn Japanese, because as of yet theres no subtitles. Or you can just watch the fan subbed Anime version off the net. Darbji, Yep thats the place I was reading about. I cant find the article I was reading, but it was pretty much the same as this one http://www.houstonpress.com/2005-03-31/news/delorean-lives-on/
