:sick: .......ya may want to rephrase that one Ben.

:eek: (Looks good Ben)

Yeah, Thanks for taking the time. Fingers crossed!

well said! :stupid:

I also suspect one of the "hangers" for the E-brake cabling is disconnected, or stretched and allows the cable to contact the axle (half) shaft. Had that happen once on a Z that I owned previously.

Hey, You been watching me?

Sorry Mike/everyone, I didn'realize it was case sensitive. Oops, My bad. :lick:

Looks like an aftermarket wheel to me. Probably, like most aftermarket wheels, they were manufactured in several different widths, and offsets. If specific size data isn't cast or stamped into the wheel somewhere (usually on back side) your best bet is to pull the tire off and measure it up. ** due to extreme large size of pic, I won't be following this thread. It takes over 5 minutes to load on a dial-up.

Yeah, I saved that picture to remind people of what can happen to a Z car if not cared for. (Psst, I think its dead already, so it can't hear us laugh/cry over it)

Here's a good one....

I need to change mine also. (It was funny for a while, but.........)

The "smoke" in components is called "PFM" otherwise known as "Pure Freak'in Magic". It's what makes them work, or not. Depending on whether you want/need it. It's an inverse relationship.

It is the same for everyone. Mike needs to "install" the option, or create the buttons, or whatever to do this. The issue has been mentioned to him in other posts, so hopefully he'll get it taken care of as soon as he has time to do so.

Ask Mike. adding charectors to reach minimum

...........or maybe plant strawberries!

Where is Sopkane?

Step#1 Think you need to get under there and really look hard at ALL of the wiring to see if you have melted/burned wires that are shorting to other wires. Use your nose too. That smoke came from somewhere, and sometimes your nose can help lead you to the area.

Sorry, I'm not very knowledgable in this area. Our member EScanlon may be a better person to ask. He worked in a body shop for a long time. Good Luck! Carl

Link has been changed. I updated the Thread starting post to reflect the change. Good Luck

How rusty is your 240Z? Swiss Cheese rusty, or just a lot of surface rust? POR will stop rust from expanding, but it will not restore structural integrity that has been compromised. Need a welder and patch panels for that.

.........and a small weeny!

Doors will fit the holes in the chassis (unibody) but it would take MAJOR work to even attempt to get the latching system of those doors to work on the chassis. The project you are talking about is more of a "systems" swap into a different chassis, rather than a chassis swap, since the cars are unibodys. You'll end up with the chassis (and it's VIN #) of the 280Z with a bunch of 240Z parts tacked onto it.

PM on the way to you, Gary.

Here is a picture of R180 and R200, and some basic R180 VS R200 diff info

If it's just a seam, take it to a Radiator Repair Shop and have them fully open the seam, rodd out the core, and seal it all back up. Cheaper than replacing the radiator. Your local BEST REPUTATION Radiator Repair shop is the place to go for a repair, or a recore if that is needed.
