You don't want stripper chemicals to come into contact with your body parts either. Nasty chemical burns can result.

IDLE and Spark Plug Fowling Problems
Only way I know to eliminate worn throttle shaft bushings is to replace the carburetor bodies. Since you have a relationship with ZTherapy, you might want to contact them to discuss this. In the USA a bird such as a turkey is sometimes refered to as a "fowl". Michael was making a joke about the country of Turkey, and the bird "turkey". Also there is a spelling joke in there. When talking about spark plugs, the term is "foul", when talking about a bird the term is "fowl". Both words are pronounced the same way in the USA.

Hi David: I don't know if this is the story you are refering to, but this one is an Urban Legend that seems to have no basis in fact. But if it did, it probably would have featured Nailheads father as one of the charectors. http://urbanlegends.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.snopes.com%2Fautos%2Fdream%2Fjato.htm

Ballast resistor on the 280Z
Well I sure don't see the term ECU mentioned in his post!! And even if he does mean it's in the ECU he still seems to be saying that there IS a resistor. I'm not trying to argue, but his statement ( as I quoted) seems quite clear to me. JZM are you out there? can you clarify?

Nevermind, Ben cleared it up.

Ballast resistor on the 280Z
I understand that, but it seems to me (unless he's talking about a resistor that doesn't function as a ballast resistor) that JZM is saying that there IS one, inside the car.

Ballast resistor on the 280Z
Are you sure about that? JZM seems (if I'm reading correctly) to be saying that there IS one. (see below)

too late, you already posted again. This is the funnybone section, so don't take things so seriously

Suspension/Wheel alignment adjustability
No one can fault you for thinking this out now (while you have the car disassembled). Far better to be thinking about it than not thinking about it. Good Luck in finding a solution that will work for you.(and the inspectors).

B&M wants to borrow your car!
Where do you think these companies got the money to "give to people in ravaged third-world countries. Just for the feel-good purpose!??? Oh, I know, they got the money from designing, building, and marketing products that only one guy in OH wants to see on the market. Judging from the responses to your thread, I think you are on your own here. For having worked on it "for years" it doesn't seem that you've gotten very far with any of the established manufacturers. But hey, you're still a young man; maybe this idea will come to fruition sometime in the next 20 to 40 years. Of course by then there might only be 7 S30's with automatic transmissions left in the world. A small production run ought to cover any sales orders that might be generated.

, I wouldn't be suprised if there was more to the story. I thought the part about it taking him 6 days to seek medical (dental) attention, and "he had been eating ice cream to help the swelling." was pretty funny.

Acetone works also, and is cheaper. But in my experience (with POR solvent and acetone) they only work if the POR15 has not "set".

Ah, but there is a difference. BLUE states actually COUNT the red votes. RED states don't seem to be able to count the BLUE votes. (FL) (OH) This is the funnybone section, so don't take things so seriously

No I don't remember it. I live 20 miles from SJ and read the newspapers daily. Anyone have a link to a story about this? or is it just another Urban Legend? PS Even BLUE states allow RED people to cast votes. This is the funnybone section, so don't take things so seriously.

Well, he does live in a RED state.

Por15
In order to protect aganinst rust, the POR must be in direct contact with either rusty metal, or properly prepared metal. If applied over paint, it is simply another coat of (expensive) paint. I don't know how engine heat would affect regular POR15, although they do make high temp coatings.

Re: Struts for Stacey
That is true. Being able to compare the 280Z Tokico ride to the 260Z Monroe ride should ilustrate that statement quite well.

I can imagine. How did you do it, sand blaster, wire wheel, or ?????

Z Restoration Progam
Then you wouldn't have bought a new 240Z. All you got was the Monroney label. If that wasn't good enough for you, the guy standing behind you in the sales area bought the car.

Thanks for the information. Makes sense to me.

Vacuum advance
If the Vac advance "isn't holding air" it's probable that the diaphram has a leak. The BB most likely came from the "cage" Tomohawk referred to. These are 2 separate parts. Maybe you can find a used distributor, cheaper than buying the parts?

did you strip all the paint off the spare tire well, and strut towers, etc. down to bare metal? ? ?
