SNORE, SNORE. :sleepy: :sleepy: Sorry Rick, guess we will be disagreeing on this subject. I can't help it, for me it's about as interesting as watching Flies reproduce. All of that time, money and effort put into something that simply disappears the next day. Seems to me that the effort, and dollars could be put into something that is more lasting an actually benefits people.

Steven Wight's comedy is an acquired taste. I haven't acquired it. He's the one comedian that annoys me more than Gallegher. IMHO, The material is funnier when delivered by anyone else, even in written form it's funnier than when he presents it.

Whiskey, now there's an idea! Think I'll go grab me some. Thursday was the first good day at work? This week? I'm just finishing up two days off, have to go back to "hell" tomorrow. Too bad I didn't win the Lotto, mebbe next week. yeah, right!

No pins up top, just hinges. FWIW, ther were no options available on 240Z's from the factory to my knowledge. True you could get a car with either an Auto or Manual trans, but everthing else was standard from Nissan. Dealers added stuff to the car as "Factory Authorized" options, but they were sourced in the US from aftermarket manufacturers. Wheels, Stripe kits, A/C, Sun Roofs, and Louvers, etc.

What do you have against Dario Franchitti? Did he beat you out on proposing to Ashley?

Forgot to attach the diagram I had.:stupid:

The fuel system "vent" hoses DO rot. I would pull the interior plastic panels before starting the job to get to them and see how hard or rotten they are. You can replace all but one of the hoses with generic "fuel/oil" rated hose. The one that has a 180 degree bend in it is th only one that I would order from Chloe, or a dealer, or MSA, or whomever. Be VERY careful of the rubber boots that seal the hoses as they go through the chassic to under the car. They are not available from the dealer. They reproduction parts for them ARE available from Banzai Motorworks in MD, or if you can find shrink tube of a large enough diameter, you could use that to seal the entry/exit of the hoses to the underside of the car. Check out THIS WEBSITE for information that will help you. You don't need to order the generic hose, as it is readily available from any well stocked Parts Store. Oh, and be careful to not damage the O-ring that seals the Fuel Guage sender. They are available , but probably not from a parts store.

My Louvers are dealer add-on's. There were/are no "factory" louvers for 240Z's. The ones on my car do have a funky "pull-pin" kind of latch at the bottom two corners.

Only advice I can give is to get the car on stands as HIGH as you can to give more room underneath when the actual lowering of the tank occurs. Flush out BOTH of the fuel lines while the tank is out of the car and start with a clean, new filter. Depending on the condition of the inside of the tank, you might want to consider having it sealed while you are at this. Saves on having to do it later if/when rust develops.

They ARE made BY Earl's, FOR MSA. They MAY differ from the product sold BY Earls on the site or sold to other retailers. What I was told by one of the salespeople (a very knowledgable guy,who no longer works there) at MSA when I bought mine, was that the lines made by Earl's and sold by MSA had not been certified by DOT, which involved a so-called "Whip Test" where the hose and an attached caliper are swung around (as if the caliper had become separated from the suspension) and must not leak or fail in this test. Is this of any interest? If my brake caliper becomes separated from the suspension, I EXPECT there to be performance issues!! (even IF the hose doesn't leak!) I have used my set for four years, inspected them 3 or 4 times as part of normal maintainance, not due to any fear that they may fail. They work great, and I have no concern as to whether they will or won't continue to do so. Life is about choices, one can choose to buy a higher priced product with a Government certification label on it if that makes someone feel safer; or choose a product of similar high quality without the label at a lower price. It's your dime, but ask your self this: How much difference does the label make when dealing with a reputable company with a history as long as Earl's and MSA? Only YOU can answer for YOURSELF.

OzLime 240Z: Have you had a chance to take some pictures yet? I, for one; am really interested in this mod. Carl

Wish there was a list like this for OEM seats from other cars that would fit in a 240Z. Not likely though.

Well, I'm not saying that I really KNEW what to do with a woman, but I sure had the interest in FINDING OUT what to do!

Well, I sure don't remember everything. That's for sure. I do remember having the beginnings of what would become a rather extensive collection of Playboy Magazines at age 9. :stupid: Wish I'd kept a few of them, some would be collector's items by now.

There once was a couple of newlyweds named John and Wendy. John told his wife Wendy that he wanted a tattoo! Wendy agreed and said that would be ok. John did not know what the tattoo should say or where he would put it. So Wendy said, "Well, if you REALLY loved me, you would get my name tattooed on your pecker." John couldn't back out on that one, so he went to the tattoo parlor. The tattoo artist told him that he needed to have an erection while he put it on. After an hour of excruciating pain, the tattoo was done. As John was on his way home from the tattoo parlor he saw a rest stop and decided he needed to stop and take a leak. He went to the restroom and looked down to admire his tattoo and he noticed, that when he was not erect, the only letters that were visible, were the W and the Y. Suddenly, a big black gentleman steps into the urinal beside John and John accidentally looked down at the guy and could not help but notice that he ALSO had the letters W and Y tattooed. So John said "Hey, I guess you have a girlfriend or wife named Wendy too." The guys looked confused and said, "What makes you think that?" John replied "Well, I noticed the W and the Y tattoo -- so you don't have a girlfriend named Wendy?" The black guy laughed and responded, "No mon, that tattoo says, 'Welcome to Jamaica! Have a Nice Day.'"

Do 9 yr old's have those kind of thoughts? Oh, nevermind, I just remembered what I was thinking when I was 9. (I was 16 in 1968)

Sorry if something offended you Stephen, I'm sure no one meant to offend you or anyone else for that matter. Funnybone will have humor ranging from childish kid jokes to slightly "off color" humor. Not every forum here will be for everyone and the ones that are of no interest are easy to avoid or ignore.

Here is my contribution to the Snow Scuplture theme

Maybe it's the folk who don't realize that there is more to life than Z cars to the exclusion of anything else? A little humor (in the proper forum designated for HUMOR) is a pleasant break from 100% car stuff all the time.

Neither of them are mine. I have no tats.

OR.............

What happens when you combine large quantities of Alcohol and a Twisted sense of humor?
