Not such a good idea IMHO. Likely the day would come when the wrong "arse" would get poked. Not to mention the liability issue aluded to.

I would use the circuit to break power to the coil which (as stated) would work on a carb'd vehicle. I also understand that it *could* be defeated, given enough time and knowledge of the system. It is NOT a guarentee of security, but rather a "layer of protection" to help minimize the chance of successful theft. I'm pricing a Lo Jack system as well. Exactly correct, I could care less about a discount from the insurance company. They are almost as big of A-Holes and just as big of thieves as the person who would steal your car. They will always figure out a way to squeeze money out of you in premiums, and will attempt to avoid paying out. I will have the install documented (now that I have a digicam) so they will have a hard time denying it's existance. I don't want some goon at the stereo/alarm shop chopping up my wiring AND having the knowledge of the system in my car. I'm confident that I would be able to install it properly, and invisably. Yes! Please do let me know how your build goes. You can PM to me or post to the thread

Bang, ZOOM!

Well, the Pup sure trys to keep the thread "off topic", but I'd like to point out that THURSDAY (the date of completion of his computer repair, and promised delivery date of the pic) has come and gone in Oz, and the "before" picture has not yet materialized. Wonder what the excuse will be THIS TIME?

Not sure if you saw the recent post by Jim of Dashboard Resto, but they are establishing a factory in the USA. It is planned to open in March. We won't have to ship our stuff half way around the world anymore.

Has anyone actually built one of these Immobilzers? after Victor's experience, I'd like to add a layer of protection to my car to (hopefully) prevent a similar occurance. DIY IMMOBILIZER The system described seems good, but I don't know much about relays and such at all. The article doesn't give enough detail, like what Part Numbers of components to buy, which pins or lugs on the relays you connect specific wires to. I can do the assembly and incorporate it in the car IF I knew more of the details. Anyone out there have any experience with this system they care to share with other members of the club? If so, you could help save many of us from falling prey to the A-Holes out there who want to steal our cars.

I think if you'll look in EScanlon's gallery you'll see a pic or two of that being done. He's discussed it before on the site. Might want to do a search on "cowl drain" or something like that.

That one is certainly based on a VERY OLD joke. I think the first time I heard it was on a "Honeymooner's" show back in the 1950's. Still kinda funny. For those too young to know, "The Honeymooners" was one of the first sit-com's on TV in the USA. Starred Jackie Gleason, Audrey Meadows, Art Carney, and Joyce Randolph. http://www.honeymooners.net/

Sean: Here's a LINK to the Lo-Jack website. I don't believe that it is available in Europe. Well, I'm sure you could buy it, but the Authorities have to have the equipment to actually "track" the signal from the Lo-Jack unit in the car to be able to find the car.

Or lift up the carpet and jute.

Yes, indeed!

Hopefully not, and don't call him Shirley!

Alpha! You finally posted your picture! Not at all what I expected you to look like. So, How does "it" feel?

No dents like you describe on my 72 240Z. Do you have a picture? The only dents I've seen on Z floors have been caused by people using floor jacks where they shouldn't have used them.

I've heard of people using 225's, so 215's ought to be fine. Especially with coil-overs. You can set the ride height to what ever you need to keep the tires away from the fenders. Just make sure you get zero offset Panasports. BTW, you must have SMOOOOOTH roads where you live to consider using 40 series tires on the street. In my neck of CA, your wheels would be ruined in short order what with all the pot holes around here.

Garage design has been discussed previously. Might want to read THIS THREAD

MSA sells 16 X 7 Panasports, so they must fit. www.zcarparts.com

Well, I thought about it, but..................................OK I admit it. I was too busy playing on that site to stop and post here.

About a year ago the Check valve and Anti-Backfire valve were still available from Nissan. Nice and Shiney and new. Also, the short hoses (straight and curved) were available. Chloe may be able to get the longer hoses. I'm trying to get some of them now. Oh ya, the studs for the exhaust manifold should be easy to get. I got some from MSA about two years ago. Hopefully you can "Kroil & EZ Out" the broken one.

My condolances to the Mrs. You should take some remedial classes. :devious: :cheeky:

Hi Sean: Check out this THREAD . I posted a list of production figures from www.zhome.com.

I'm not even close to being a doctor, but in reading the web page you linked to...........that is some serious stuff, not to be messed with. Hope your friend is already being treated by professionals and will be cured.

Damn, Sorry to hear that Victor. Are the Cops on the job yet? All you So Cal folks, keep an eye out for Vic's car. Lots of pictures in his gallery. Let's see if we can nap the A-holes that snatched it!

YES, 151 HP is GROSS with nothing attached to the engine. NO, kmack's figures are at the rear wheels as he indicated in his post.

Depends on the size of your boat. There were approx 9500 260Z 2+2 cars imported to the USA according to www.ZHome.com
