That is SO not true. Use the Jags That Run method of installing a SBC and you'll end up with almost perfect weight distribution. Talk to the folks a www.hybridz.org

Well, I have actually HAD them on my car for 4 years now and mine have worked and still work just fine. Don't beleive everything you "hear". I, too can bleed my brakes in less than 15 minutes. Now, nobody get all huffy and think I'm pointing a finger at anyone specific, but......... The only problems I have ever heard are from HAM FISTED mechanics who overtighten them and snap them off. But if the mechanic has common sense enough to realize they are BRASS and uses due care to not overtighten them , they work great. FWIW, I have "heard" that Power Bleeders don't always fit every application properly.

Got any websites, addresses, phone numbers for these places?

I tried to send him an "F... YOU" reply, but it just bounced back.

I received the below email today. The "PayPal" link in the email actually sends you to http://rd.yahoo.com/computer/ghost/orange/stetch/hockey/maple/real/lincoln/matthew/sir/stand/eleven/eleven/raiders/*HtTp://members.aol.com/trawets1/jamie/p.txt?raiders , NOT to PAYPAL. Note: The link copied below actually does send you to the real PayPal site. Just wanted to warn you all about this clown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From:aria871133@optonline.net <aria871133@optonline.net> I am really sorry to bother you, but I was buying something off of the internet and I accidently sent my money to you. I wasn't aware of this until the seller told me he hasn't recieved my money yet then I checked to see what I did wrong and I had sent it to your email address. Anyways if you could please login to www.paypal.com and send back the money I had sent you I would really appreciate it. Well im so sorry for this mis-understanding and thanks for you time.

Actually this is the 4th time in 3 years. Talk about the same old song! :sick: :sick:

Sounds like your Wiper Motor (or it's wiring) went up in flames. Should have brought some marshmallows with you. (Chris drove the car for years without any problems, How come all this drama is happening on your watch?)

Great News! Thanks for posting that info. Now all I need is the $$$$ to buy them.

That hasn't been reported in any of the F1 websites that I follow. Seriously Doubt It.

Replace bleed nipples with Speed Bleeders http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9046&highlight=Speed+Bleeders http://www.speedbleeder.com/

Yeah, I used laquer thinner and a s/s brush, but the crud took a fair amount of effort to remove. If you take it to a shop to be dipped, make sure they understand that the Valve Cover is aluminum. Some hot tank solutions will EAT aluminum.

You won't find much in the way of Z parts places in the Bay Area (except for Eric and Rod). Very occasionally will a Pick N Pull yard have a 240Z that hasn't been stripped of most useful parts. Scott Performance 2555 Lafayette St # 104, Santa Clara, CA 95050 Phone: (408) 988-2233 and Dando's in Fleamont http://www.dandos.com/ are two repair shops that work on Z's, I think there is one in Richmond called Z Doctor also.

I'm too lazy. "DeOxiT 100" cleaned up my Wiper Motor connector electrical terminals quickly and easily to bright and shiney metal. When I first looked at them, they appeared so filthy and corroded that I feared they would fall apart in my hands. I am pleased with how it works. It won't add metal back, but it removes the corrosion very well, and seems to protect the connectors from corroding again.

depends on many variables....like HP (how you build/manage the engine), on weight of vehicle(how far you strip the car), and gearing(which trans and diff you choose). I can't help you with specifics. You might find more (and probably better) answers at www.hybridz.org

If that is all you want, then you could get away with a 2.8L ZXT engine/trans swap, and a coil-over suspension without mucking around with more complicated (and expensive) transplants. You won't get sub 12 sec time slips, but you'll still surprise most people.

For an engine or the whole package? you said you wanted handling also. Sub 12 sec 1/4 mi and superior road handling could take a lot of $$$$ Also, depends on where you are located, and what skills you have. You can't just throw money at the car.

McLaren F1

I wasn't meaning that Michael wasn't there. (He could have been) Just confirming that at least some of the Ferarri F1 team was known to have been there.

As for advice on using POR15, follow their directions/instructions EXACTLY. You should receive complete directions/instructions with your order, or you can find the info on both the manufacturer's AND distributor's websites, or you can call either of them with any last minute questions. They will be glad to help.

The link should have been http://www.baddogparts.com/, but if you are buying floorpan and rail parts, I'd buy from Charlie Osborn at http://www.datsunzparts.com/ since he has a floor replacement system that is generally considered by many to be the best available. ( http://www.datsunzparts.com/Summary.htm ) Everyone has an opinion, this one is mine.

Different strokes for different folks.

I don't know about Schuey being there, but Jean Todt and Roy Byrne were in the area. http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/formulaone/14486/ and http://www.planet-f1.com/news/story_18338.shtml

As stated above, lighting, resolution and other factors could conspire to alter it's appearance in the pic, but it looks considerably too light to my eyes in that picture. I don't think a silver car would look too good with the charcoal (roughly) colored trim panels anyway.

Especially since Barrett-Jackson doesn't have any control over the SPEED Channel employed Talking Heads
