Wonder why these parts are not in the microfiche? None of my Z's have had them, and I've never missed them either. Carpets stay put just fine without them......and IMO they look cheesy. Shouldn't (don't) need something that big and bright just to hold carpets in place.

They need 30th Anniversary badges if they're selling this toad in the USA, use them 35th anniversay badges somewhere else.

No Sweat, It went over my head also when Chris posted. I have a slide show for my Screensaver, got it from an F1 Racing website. Lots of pictures of 2002 Monaco GP

We're talking "Desktop" in this thread (see Subject Line), not "Screensaver". Don't think that will work for a Desktop.

Nice Balloons!

Chris: Are you using a PC? How do you make a slide show and set it up as wallpaper?

Hey, That's no fair. You reduced the size of the pic so small that I can't steal it and put it in my "Hot Photo's" calendar. :mad: As for your proctologist..........perhaps his flashlight needs new batteries? If AA's don't work for him, maybe he should try "D" cells? OUCH! Couldn't resist.

It's an F1 car with Carbon Fibre Rotors and Pads. It is fairly normal to see that "glow" on hard braking. Only becomes a problem if it stays that way for a long time. Go Takuma in GP of China tonight!

As a former coin collector (numismatist) for many years I must point out: The Composition of the Cent Following is a brief chronology of the metal composition of the cent coin (penny): The composition was pure copper from 1793 to 1837. From 1837 to 1857, the cent was made of bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc). From 1857, the cent was 88 percent copper and 12 percent nickel, giving the coin a whitish appearance. The cent was again bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc) from 1864 to 1962. (Note: In 1943, the coin's composition was changed to zinc-coated steel. This change was only for the year 1943 and was due to the critical use of copper for the war effort. However, a limited number of copper pennies were minted that year. You can read more about the rare, collectible 1943 copper penny in "What's So Special about the 1943 Copper Penny.") In 1962, the cent's tin content, which was quite small, was removed. That made the metal composition of the cent 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc. The alloy remained 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc until 1982, when the composition was changed to 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper (copper-plated zinc). Cents of both compositions appeared in that year. Stolen from

I would NEVER, EVER buy a classic car with a sunroof that wasn't part of the car when it rolled out the factory doors. And even then, I'd think really, really hard before shelling out money.

These are my 3 most recent Desktp images.

HeHeHe, Yep, Marc (280z) took that one. That is Ben and I (in Ben's car) on our way back from the Summit of Mt. Hamilton (San Jose,CA USA) this past April.

I think it's going to have to come from someone who sells/services those carbs. You might try a google search. www.google.com

Got any pictures of the process, Chris?

the current progran has (had) a rolling 30 year requirement for vehicle to be "in" the smog check program, after which they became exempt from testing. Now it will be simply that 1975 and earlier model year cars are exempt.

Looks like it did.

How about just posting to this thread so the rest of us can learn the outcome of your installation?

Everyone has an opinion and this one is mine. If Burt Diamond's '71 240Z can't draw a "Buy It Now" bid for $26,200, a 280Z stands little chance of selling at $25,950, and on the off chance it does, it will be an anomalie not likely to repeated any time in the foreseeable future. (I'm not being critical of DatsunZGuy for posting this)

Your car is safe Ben. AB 2683 SUMMARY: Repeals the "30-year rolling exemption" that applies to the Smog Check and Smog Check II programs. Specifically, this bill : 1)Declares the intent of the Legislature that vehicles of the 1975 model year and older shall be permanently exempted from smog check requirements and that the Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and Consumer Affairs be afforded adequate time to implement this bill's requirements. 2)Repeals the exemption for vehicles 30 years old or older from vehicle maintenance and inspection programs, effective April 1, 2005. 3)Provides an exemption from those programs for vehicles that were manufactured prior to the 1976 model year, effective April 1, 2005.

I got a set of regular GE Halogen lamps in the same wattage as stock. Also have a set of H4 lamps (uninstalled) that are 60/55 watt which a friend uses in a completely stock Z (no electrical upgrades or relays) without problems.

I'm guessing that this is a joke since it doesn't work that way. Every time "I" or "you" come back to this thread it counts as another "view", and not everyone who "views" the thread "posts" to it even once.

Dear P.T. Barnum: It appears that you were correct.

Is it a JPEG that you are trying to upload? EDIT: Also, per Ed's post below, max picture size is 1024 X 768 (pixels)

Mike: you might want to take a look at the "LINKS" section as things are a little screwy in there. I couldn't find the "Downloads" section (where the various Wiring Diagrams and Paint Code files are located) Also: The Irfanview Graphics editor post is in the "Technical Zcar Documents" section The Zcar CD Demo is in the "Wallpaper" section The Z Club Logo files are in the "Graphics Programs" section The "Internet Z Club Logo's" section is empty The "Zcar Microfiche CD" section is also empty There may be other anomalies, but I didn't check them all.

Right. I forgot to mention that we were using a late model console in our installation. We were able to get a good price for the early console on eBay so that was an added bonus ($$$).
