Sounds like it's "deiseling" - it combustion without spark like a diesel engine. I had the same problem on my 210. It has an anti-dieseling solenoid that cuts off the gas to the idle circuit after the car is shut off. My solenoid wasn't receiving power and so it wasn't working, and when it was very hot it would run on for a few seconds after shutting off the car. But I guess the Z engine doesn't have something like that so I'm not sure how you would fix it. I think it's bad for your engine though. Hopefully one of the suggestions from the other guys will help, but I would lean more toward adjusting the idle than messing with the distributor or other parts of the ignition system. GOod luck

WTF? Ebay link Are these bumpers from a 280ZX or what? Or do they just look larger because they're red? I'm confused....

No actually I mean Moran: Bush supporter Milwaukee WI.

Aren't there also octane additives that can be added to the gas to increase the octane rating? One more thing, I've heard 2 different version of octane "math". One guy I know says that you can mix for example 50% 93 octane with 50% 89 octane to end up with 91 octane fuel in the tank. Another guy I talked to about it said that nope that doesn't work, mixing higher octane gas with lower gas won't do you any good and you'll still end up with the lower grade. The first way makes sense to me since from what I understand octane is just an additive to the fuel so they should mix. ANyone know which is correct?

The comment wasn't meant to start a political debate. Each of us is on one side or the other (or neither!) and nobody really cares who is on what side. But no matter what side you're on you've got to admit that G-dub is a moran. That's about as close as it comes to a statement of fact. Kinda like saying Clinton is a liar.

Nice quote Carl. Another beaut from a typical Texan.

please post more info about the NM property. thx MIchael

Hey Brandon, mperdue here (my "real" account doesn't work). Thanks for the comments. No one has shown interest yet but it doesn't make much difference to me. Probably one of the largest barriers to setting up a site like this for most people is doing the page design itself - though if you keep it simple and plain like me it doesn't take much - updates are cut and paste with new text and pics. But anyway at this point I can't help too much with that besides telling users how to log in, edit/upload etc - plus my html "skillz" have much room for improvement. One neat thing about the site is that it's simple to set up a web accessible email account for the domain such as joeblow@datsunprojects.org for other users. Nice interface - much more flexible than hotmail or yahoo IMO. MIchael
