I would never remove this line. It is meant to allow your fuel system to vent pressure build up. It does no harm to you, the car, or the engine. Without a vent you will experience problems related to pressure build up in the fuel system. Cutting it in the tunnel will simply allow moisture (rain, water, mud and crap to either enter the fuel system, or plug the line and cause pressure build up. If you are worried about it's appearance...........paint it, or have it replated. There have been several previous discussions about this system. Try doing a search on "Flow Guide Valve" and you can learn more about this system.

It supposed to be connected to the Flow Guide Valve which "was" mounted below the coil. It is part of the emissions sytem to allow venting of fumes from the gas tank into the engine instead of being vented to the atmosphere.

It's possible that there was plastic on the panels. I never saw it, but have seen remnants like you mention. There definitely was a moisture barrier on the inner surface of the door shell.

Also, make sure that you have the calipers on the correct side of the vehicle. Bleed screw should be at the TOP, rather than at the bottom of the caliper. If bleed screw is at the bottom, you'd never get the air out.

Sounds like A "Ricer" gimmick, but what do I know?

At this point I bet that Burt is wishing the first sale had been completed.

Bidding ended at $22,100 this time. Still no sale.

Yes, CA is supposed to fall into the sea, any day now.

Inf (Andrew) The sticker with keycoade infor must have been removed by a prior owner. I was rooting around a couple of days ago and found an old Owner's Manual from my first Z (1973). Seems I peeled the keycode sticker and applied it to the back of the manual.

Be glad to. I'd even furnish them with maps.

You think too much! :pirate: I don't want ANYONE moving into CA. Looking to get rid of a few million people in fact.

That's the spirit! Please do your best to convince friends, neighbors, and relatives to stay in OH also. If you need any more population in OH, I'd be glad to refer folks your way.

15/16" is the diameter of the piston inside the m/c. BTW, the change of master cylinder is not "needed", it's just that with bigger wheel cylinders it couldn't hurt to push more fluid with a bigger m/c. The one in a stock 240Z is 7/8" (i.e. 14/16"). Minimal difference.

Ron! SHhhhhhhh! Isn't California crowded enough?

Simplest way to link is to "copy" from the webpage address you want to link, and "Paste" it into your post.

That is an aftermarket air cleaner, definitely NOT a stock one from any year. The balance tube between the two intake manifolds looks like one I saw on a 260Z.

I don't have a brand recommendation. I just found something at the parts store that was labelled as being High Temperature Silicone Brake Grease. It was almost clear (slightly yellowish) and came in a plastic tube. PS I don'tthink it has to be "High Temperature" but that was what was printed on the tube I bought)

Shannon: On the front end, it could be anything from frame damage to worn or broken suspension pieces (ball joints, tierod ends, bushings). As far as I know, the 280ZX came with U-joints, but it is possible someone changed it over to CV joints. Either way, I'd have the car inspected by a good shop to determine what is causing it to "feel squirelly".

"production" in name only

2. Yes, but USE EVERYTHING from the 240Z, and NOTHING from the ZX. Don't mix clutch/trans parts!! 3. Yes, if it is a 3 row radiator. If it's only a 2 row (stock 240Z), you will likely have problems as the radiator was marginal for a 2.4L engine in the first place. 4. Yes to fan, Yes to Shroud. If you end up changing to a ZX Radiator, you may need to modify the shroud to fit 5. Yes, Use same Engine mount brackets and motor mounts 6. How much fun you'll have when the job is done.

350Z Wins Grand Am

It doesn't "do" anything that the site doesn't do. In fact, you cannot send attachments so pictures and graphic are out. It does give people an alternative to cruising the site to get or give information. The mail list existed long before the club website, a precursor to the website, if you will. It was estabished by Mike as an alternative to the very busy IZCC mail list which caters to all Z models. The S30 series information was getting kind of lost amongst all the S130, Z31, Z32 content (as I understand it) If a person signs up for the regular mail list, all of the messages and replies come directly to your email account and you can choose to read or delete as you see fit. Some people like it this way. If you sign up for the "digest" version of the list (which compiles all the individual email messages into one "package email" that is sent to you once a day, people can read and respond at one brief sitting and move on with life. Some people like it that way. Anybody else have info?

The article also said that Nissan made FIVE of them to homologate for the JGTC. (all sold in Japan). That may qualify as "production" for JGTC homologation purposes, but for the rest of the world it surely does not. Even if the Nismo parts are available to modify your own 350Z, it isn't a production model for the NA, or OZ market.

My car squeaks a tiny bit in the winter time (temps below 50-55 F.) I probably didn't use enough grease, or maybe forgot a spot or two. Doesn't annoy me enough to bother with at the moment. Like Chris says, you'd have to disassemble to grease every P.U. to metal contact point.
