Sorta like the stupid tags on Pillows. "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law".

Can't the Dupont retailer look it up from the Factory Code? Seems like they should be able to. Their # has to be referenced to the Nissan (or whatever manufacturer) code.

I don't remember, as I have only seen one FR Zcar and that was a couple of years ago. Maybe Vicky (ZRush) can tell us, since she owns one.

1A. The right to CHOOSE is a good thing. 1B. What do you care if any two people who love each other marry or not? Gays exist, whether they marry or not does not change that fact. They should be entitled to the same rights and benefits afforded to everyone else. THAT is what our country was founded upon: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,........... " Remember that? It's from the Declaration of Independence and should apply to ALL of us. 2. Values do matter, but not the values of exclusion, and deceipt and deception. You know, the values that GWB and his cronies espouse. 3A. Bin-Ladin has had a stiffy for the USA since the mid-80's (Reagan Administration). 3B. There are larger issues to the sharing of information between CIA and FBI. Each agency doesn't even run it's own house efficiently, how can one expect RIVAL (budget, power, etc) agencies to co-opperate successfully with each other? 4. As for the war, Who told you that Osama Bin-Ladin was in Iraq? Your pal GWB told us that we were in Iraq to fight Saddam Hussein and secure the WMD's. Guess he was LYING. Saddam is gone, can't find the WMD's, and the Iraqi's are still killing our sons and daughters out of gratitude for what we have done "to help them". Defend ourselves? From Iraq? When did they attack us? Oh, yeah after we invaded their country. :stupid: 5. Break? Which leg would you like broken? :cheeky: 6. Don't lose the fire, but get the story straight before you strike the match.

I wonder if it was really a "Factory Restored" Z. I cannot imagine that the Engine Compartment paint would have been left "original" on one of these, since the stripped the chassis down completely. Same with the Tail light Fininsher panel. Did it have the "Nissan Factory Restored" badges that indicate it was part of the program?

Hands in the Air, Bill.............Put the Crack Pipe Down! Gore (or Kerry) may not have been (or may not be) good presidents, but they would have to go a long way to SUCK as bad as GWB and his posse. Let's NOT talk about Clinton. He's just an ordinary citizen now, his turn at mucking up the country is OVER. Yes he's (morally) a POS, but he's harmless now. Right on, 280z (Marc)!!

Studs? Are you refering to the sugar scoops, or the Headlight bucket? My headlight bucket had phillips head screws.

I had problems with Never Fog when it first came out. Tossed the bottle in the garbage within a week.

Congradulations on the buy. How many miles does it have on it? Use the Search Function and I think you'll find lots of discussion on the Factory restored Z's. Pics in a few weeks?

Anything you put on the car to replace the stock air cleaner will flow WORSE without Air Horns. Don't believe me? Talk to ZTherapy!

Yeah, a hotty that likes collecting sports cards and driving a old VW. If that is true, it's a genetic defect, and she's the only one in the world!

There are 3 or 4 screws as you say (think it's 4, but memory could be wrong). My guess is that yours are covered with undercoating or mud and crap. If you scrape (or wire brush) all that $hit away, hopefully you'll find screw heads that haven't been buggered up by the previous owner of your car. This is easier done with the front wheel removed from the car. Support the car well, since you'll be sitting in the wheelwell while doing this.

Why not just buy a K&N filter for the stock Air Cleaner Assembly? Then you don't have to figure out plumbing places for the Float Bowl vent hoses, and the the Flow Guide Valve.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and no one should be castigated for voicing their opinion. We do not have to agree on anything. Discussion and differing views are OK.

Cheese anyone?

Bet that really frosts the a$$e$ of some Texans!

That item is called the "Flow Guide Valve". It is indeed a part of the emissions system (but on a 72 there is no charcoal canister). What it does is to route fumes from the gas tank to one of two different locations depending on whether the engine is running or not. If the engine is running, it will route the fumes to thebase of the air cleaner assembley so that they can be burned with the intake air that gets sucked into the engine. If the engine is not operating, the fumes are routed to the brather pipe on the side of the engine block which puts the fumes into the crankcase wear they remain until the engine is started, at which time they are drawn into the balance tube/intake manifold via the PCV valve and are then burned. Ah, the joys of aftermarket crap that doesn't allow for emission equipment that doesn't take away HP from your engine, but does help the atmosphere that we breathe. Give my regards to K&N.

ChrisA: Sounds right to me. I wasn't aware of the location of the FPR on the L28 cause I've never had one.

I don't think that you can use a 280Z fuel pump. reason? They operate at a vastly higher pressure (due to the fuel injection). If you cannot find a 240Z electric fuel pump, I'd get an aftermarket electric fuel pump that is designed for use on carbureted engines. You'll need to find a way to mount it, but it shouldn't be too difficult to fabricate a bracket (you may even be able to buy one). Check Summit or Jeg's on line.

Electric fuel pump on 240Z's (73 only) mounted at the rear of the car, near the gas tank. Passenger side, just in front of the tank. I don't know about a presure reg. on a L28, but if there is one, I doubt it would be "on the engine". For a carb set-up you don't want more than about 3 to 5 psi fuel pressure,

It seems as there is a limitation of 500 "entries" for a given search. When I search using my User Name, selecting to "show results as posts" ( or "threads"), posts "from any date", and "at least zero replies"........the results are limited to 500 entries. Since I have 4K posts, there should be more than 500 "posts" shown. Even though I have partisipated in new threads over the past few days, the results still show a maximum of 500 entries (post, or threads), so it seems to me that there is a limitation on the amount of entries returned in a given search. PS: Thanks Marc!

"Trust Me, Would I lie to YOU?"

Looks very nice, wish mine was looking that way.

New tanks are not available. Best bet is finding one in a good salvage yard, and having it cleaned and sealed before installation or sending your tank to Moyer's or elsewhere to be rebuilt. Cost = ($300 to 800) Moyer's http://www.gas-tank.com/ Gas Tank Renu http://www.gastankrenu.com/
