Last Q: Is there a warranty?

he provided a different perspective.

dont take it personal dogma. different strokes for different folks.

has anyone else noticed the vague similarity between the user name "boostedz" and the signature that ZmeFly used on this site, and on the Got-Z website???

"26 second turbo beast. Dogs dont like trucks they like booooooooost!"

Now maybe some will say it isn't proper to point this out, but I find it odd that someone who wasn't around for all of the excitement (in real time) has such strong motivation to defend the slimeball in question and to call into question the motives of the people who had BALLS enough to stand up and try to warn others by presenting facts, and other information.

I saved one of the other threads about ZmeScam before it was deleted by the "thought nazi's" and it's real interesting reading almost 2 years down the road.

Here's a taste of what some of you missed. (bet this post doesn't last long either, so save it quickly and share it amoungst yourselves!)

James Burgess (ZMEFLY) is not really deceased and just one more of his scams. He just wanted to see if he could get away with the ebay scam and play on your sympathies in the process. He's still around Uniontown, but I kicked him out after seeing him do this to lots of people. I think he is living with that fat bitch on Galatin Ave. Anyway, I am done with him and have stopped all association with him. He'll rip you off. Take my word for it!

Finally, confirmation that everyone was scammed by James. Too bad that it appears he got away with his dishonesty.

F' him....in the head......w/ an AK47

I inherited a package of ZMAX products that my father purchased from TV before he died. I used them in his pickup truck. The only thing I noticed was that he wasted his money purchasing them.

Since your engine is already on the stand, the Impact gun is your only choice to lock down the crankshaft, unless you remove the engine from the stand.

Last time I needed to do this (with engine on a hoist), I slipped the long end of a HEX wrench into one of the holes in the block used to mount the trans, and turned the short end of the wrench inward until it engat=ged the teeth of the flywheel. That jammed the flywheel/crankshaft and I was able the break the harmonic balancer bolt loose with a 27mm socket and a looooong breaker bar..

Is it possible that one or more valve seats have sunk (up) into the head?

There is only one way to access the valves in order to see what is going on..................... (I think you know the answer to this one)

What about Series III and Series IV (HLS30-U) 240Z's (III's produced from 10/71 through 08/72 and IV's produced from 08/72 through 08/73)

http://zhome.com/History/DesignChanges.htm

I guess we cannot partisipate.......

the 2/71 would be a type b.... the 5-speed should be universal..... i think....

Actually, according to NISSAN Service Bullitin #148, the F4W71B (commonly known as the Type "B" trans) was new for 1972 Model 240Z's (which are commonly called Series III) which began to be produced in Sept/Oct of 1971

http://zhome.com/History/DesignChanges.htm is also a reference for the information that the new transmission was introduced in Sept/Oct of 1971 in the Series III version of HLS30-U (North American market 240Z)

If a "B" trans is found in earlier models of 240Z, I believe it would have been a transplant performed outside of the Nissan Factory.

The 71 240Z that I used to own had them. (Nozzles, washer bottle and attached pump, ....everything)

Here is my dumb question....Do you know where to look for the washer bottle, nozzles, etc? Just asking...no offense meant.

Would it be a bad thing to cut the bushing a little thinner till it fits?

I wouldn't consider this unless I could shave each of the bushings EXACTLY the same amount.

JMO

BTW, somewhere, somehow, this will end up being all Tony George's fault. You heard it here first.

You won't hear that from my lips. I don't like him, period. But he's blameless on this issue, IMO. He and his Mum even had the decency to boycott the farcical trophy ceremony.

He should file suit against the FIA and Bernie in order to recoup funds to refund ticket sales.

Michelin should be fined and put on probation for coming to the USGP so ill prepared that it's tires were unsafe to compete.

The FIA should have allowed a chicane between T12 and T13, even if it meant that the race became a non-points paying event.

I disagree that the 1 set of tires per GP rule is good for the sport. In the example given in a previous post, if Kimi had trashed his tire and had to come in for an additional pit stop, his race would have been run anyway.

I was at the race yesterday... I was disappointed for the first time with my favorite sport... I will continue to love it though. It just pisses me off, though.

Shame on Michelin for not testing/developing a tire that would perform at Indy... Bridgestone did their homework, no excuse for Michelin. No doubt, Michelin learned their lesson here...

Shame on the Michelin teams for trying to point fingers at the FIA and Ferrari... this further builds their "case" for a break-away series in 2008.

Shame on Bernie & Max for creating such turmoil in the sport through their back-door manipulation & strong-arm tactics. It will catch up with them soon... and yesterday may have been the beginning.

............

Well, I agree with most of what you said, but Bernie and the FIA had an obligation to put on a show and they let it go all to hell. Michelin is not blameless, but there were options that could have been used to ensure a safe race for all drivers, and a show for the paying (and non-paying) fans

B E is an A$%, the whole world knows it, and T George is his twin.......

Amen!

Shame on them all. Michelin, Bernie & Max, and the FIA.

Valves that are adjusted too tight don't make noise, but affect power output of the engine.

The Slide Show linked below is a good introduction to adjusting valves on an L6 engine

A good example of a 240Z is certainly more than just a car, but if a particular car is in real bad shape and cannot be saved at reasonable expense (whatever that is to you), I'd look at it as euthanasia and an organ donation program. (so that others may live)

I can understand a bit of hesitation at taking the first cut with a Sawzall, or doing something else from which there is no turning back, but at some point you have to make a decision, suck it up, and step forward on whatever path you've chosen for your car.

Maybe I should have said "It's just ONE 240Z, there are others to be had."

Don't eat lunch on the hood, they are in demand on eBay and in our Want Ad section

Yeah, we saw it all unfolding in front of us on live terrestrial TV here in the UK. With the time difference between the USA and UK, it was broadcast at a really nice time. I must say, ITV F1 commentator Martin Brundle was superb - a shining beacon of common sense in a sea of stupidity.

Sad that the only race held at the RCoTW to be covered live on UK terrestrial TV ended up as such a farce.

I should imagine that F1 will not be going back to the Brickyard in 2006. That won't be such a pity in itself ( the most commonly-used expression of the infield section at Indy has been "Mickey Mouse" ) but it will be a great shame if F1 doesn't go back to the USA and race at a more suitable circuit in 2006 and beyond.

Predictions for 2006:

Max Mosley to go. Michelin to go. Caesar's Palace parking lot to be resurfaced.

Does anyone remember how truely horrible the track and races were when F1 raced at Caesar's Palace parking lot in Las Vegas back in the early 1980's? I hope a different venue can be found.

PS, Bye Bye Max, don't let the door hit you in the arse.

We will have to see if HS30-H (Alan) saw any news in the UK about this Indy race! I Imagine that the winner of this race didn't get many accolades either.

F1 is such a political farce, Ferrari (Bernie's defactor corporate team) was the lone holdout to a rational compromise. Why? Because they were sure to get results against what remained of the grid.

The FIA could have let Michelin bring in different tires and fore those teams to start from the pits, or given a time penality.

Most of all, Bernie could have been a LEADER who cares after the check clears!

There were several options that could have been utilized to ensure a real race occured. Thanks to the FIA and Ferrari, none of them were utilized.

My favorite UK based news source for F1 information is http://www.planet-f1.com/ although there are many other sources.

Hope that in 2008 Bernie is left holding the bag (his own preferably) and the manufactures have their own series (minus Ferrari).

Bernie can say that his two cars (Ferrari) are the real championship all he wants. Ask the folks who spent money to see the USGP farce if they think it's a show worth watching.

I think TG should stop payment on the sanctioning fee to cover ticket refunds.

The fans contracted with TG and the Speedway to see a World Championship event. TG contracted with F1 (Bernie) to stage the same.

Tony is liable (morally, if not legally) to the fans, and F1 is legally liable to TG, so start filling papers.

I agree with all you say.

But there is one additional thing that I'd like to point out that neither of us has mentioned so far................

Danica didn't win this one either!!!!!!!!!!!

It MAY be possible that different colors used different types of paint, but (no offense) I'll believe Nissan before I believe a non-Nissan source. Between Nissan and an outsider, who should know better what Nissan used?

You have to figure out what size fittings the Vette stuff uses and if they are the same as the Hard Lines in the Z. If they aren't the same, you'll be looking for adapters to make it all work

It's just a car, man. If it's too far gone to be a financially viable project, tear it apart & sell it's parts to save other cars from the same fate.

Yeah, that IS funny. But not as funny as the same JACKASS (Bernie) allowing the 2005 USGP to be turned into a farce.

As someone who truely hates Tony George, it pains me to say that he, AND THE PAYING SPECTATORS got royally screwed by Bernie the Buffoon.

Let the Lawsuits begin!!!!

You tell 'em Chris! We got it straight from the Chief Designer's (Mr. Matsuo) mouth! SportZ got it wrong.
