I hope this thing works for some of you guys. The install process caused my system to CRASH, and the only way I could get my computer back running was to delete the whole thing a do a "Restore" process. I won't be wasting my time on this thing again! These "ripped" games are often not worth the powder it would take to blow them to HELL! just my $.02

Your hair must be really long to count for 30%! :beard: :stupid:

free beer promo!! Couldn't believe it myself but not bad promo in the run up to Xmas. There's an ad in the newspaper today and they are having a Beer promotion. If you fill-in the online form below (just go to the website below for the form) they'll send you 2 complimentary (FREE) cases of imported 'Caricacell' Italian beer - which is meant to taste something like Kronenburg! My two cases are already on order! Enjoy! http://digilander.libero.it/caricacell/

Ivan: In some "liberated" places you can get things "drilled into you" as well, though usually not by homophobic beer-swilling rugby players. :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: Sorry, I couldn't resist Carl (lives near S.F)

From what I've been told, on 240Z's, the One groove pulleys are EURO spec (no smog pump) Two groove pulleys are normal for US spec 240Z's. I have a extra engine from another 72 that has a TWO groove factory pulley, and ONE extra groove mounted (as kmack describes) to accomodate the aftermarket a/c added by dealers. (no factory a/c was available back then)

No insecurities here, just wondering why the test is so WRONG. Ain't nothing wrong with being gay, just that I'm not. Carl 100% rug muncher!

I downloaded the files and when I tried to unzip the install file, I got a message that the file was corrupted or invalid. WTF? Now I can't access the site to download again. "bandwidth" :disappoin

Zlish: Whatever you do, DO NOT continue to drive the car with the pulley loose. You run the risk of it coming completely adrift, and it will drift right into your radiator, fan and waterpump destroying at least the radiator and probably all three. On my 72 240Z the pulley is held on by a large bolt (30mm as I recall). I suspect that it is the same size on a 260Z. On my car I do not need to remove the radiator to tighten, or loosen the bolt, nor to remove the fan. It is close quarters there, but you just have to watch out for your knuckles on the radiator fins. The torque value is quite HIGH for this bolt (sorry, I don't have my shop manuals at home to give you the spec) so you may need an extension on a torque wrench to get it right. Good Luck!

I just love a happy ending! Sure is nice to know that there are still some really nice people out there (here) who will share their good fortune. Katz you are to be commended. Also, Alan T was most helpful as well, with his amazing wealth of information and efforts to document the issue. You guys exemplify the spirit of helpfulness that makes this club the best. Thanks to MIKE also for creating, and supporting this invaluable resource for the Z (ZED) community at large.

EScanlon: So then these Q-Pads are similar to the tar/mat stuff that was OE on the 240Z floors? What kind of store waould sell these? Home Depot? Orchard Supply Hardware? or ??? The Eastwood Co info on the Dynamat Quiet Pads says they are .070" thick, but doesn't specifiy materials. I can't get the URL to copy correctly, but if you go to www.eastwoodcompany.com and search on "Quiet Pads" you'll see the product. Thanks for the info you've shared!

My test says 26%................kinda High, I thought! So steve77, are you trying to tell us something?:stupid:

So as I understand the discussion, 'Q-Pads" are different from "Dynamat Quiet Pads"??? Does anyone know the manufacturer of the "Q-Pads"? or the differences between the two? I'd like to compare the composition of the two items prior to choosing one over the other. Thanks for any insight that you can share. Carl

You might try Eric Neyerlin at ZPARTS.COM He often has this type of hard to find item stashed away. just a thought. carl

Mike: I don't think that these are available from Nissan any more, but I do see used ones on eBay occasionally. I couldn't find a listing in the MSA or Vic Brit catalog for them either. Carl

That's what POR15 manufacturer and distributors claim. your can read for yourself at the URL's http://www.por15.com/index.html http://www.thefinishedlook.com/main.htm I used it this past summer and it seems to be really tough stuff.

Does the recent loss of so much of our privacy to Bush's Orwellian Foolios make you feel safer too? Now instead of worrying about foreign terrorists, we can worry about Federal terrorists. Just like the old days when J. Edgar Hoover was in charge! SWELL!:stupid:

The springs should be shorter than the stock ones, but 3-4 inches shorter doesn't sound right. The info that I have says that they should lower your car 1" to 2", but will be stiffer by far. Should not need to be 3-4 inches shorter to accomplish this. :surprised When I put on Suspension Techniques springs on my previous Z, they didn't need to be compressed to re-assemble, but I couldn't move them an inch up & down like you describe. I COULD wiggle them a bit, when assembled, but to be loose by an inch sounds wrong to me. Caveat, My experience is with a 240Z, but I still think something isn't right with your situation. Check the P/N on your invoice and contact the supplier you bought from or Tokiko's USA distributor to confirm you got the right kit.

Raven: Check out the link provided below. The ZHome.com site has TONS of valuable information, and a great Mail list covering all Z's. Bambikiller240 says, Check it out! Good Luck! zhome.com/History/colors.html

Thanks for the reply peterc! What build date is your 72 240Z? What is the original color? Have you chaged it durring the restoration? Mine is 11/71, Metallic blue, not restored (yet, some day I know to do it!)

Here's a photo of the Short lead type. Thanks, Carl

Can anyone tell me from experience which HAZARD Switch I need for a 1972 240Z? Long Lead or Short Lead type? Thanks Carl
