Live Dangerously...visit Canada.
"The gravity at this altitude is only slightly lower than that of Earth, its atmospheric pressure is similar and the aerospace provides enough protection from solar radiation to make it no more dangerous than taking a trip to Canada."

Need Help Installing "new" Ignition
you should be able to hook up to a bench top 12V DC supply and turn the distributor with a drill (or maybe even by hand) to make the system work. This may make testing easier than on the car. Try to get the wiring diagram from the mfgr for the electronic module. If you test on a bench be sure to connect the spark plug bodies and distributor body to ground/return to power supply.

280ZX Distributor Advance Curve Reference
Made in Japan parts and parts from Japanese mfgrs are usually the best for our cars. NGK Spark plugs's plant location should not matter as the Japanese parent company's standards would be followed in all NGK plants. It is like buying a Toyota car made in the USA..... good quality and possibly better that Japan.

Not sure on the rules for this: http://www.willallracing.com.au/gtrbrakes.htm Could be interesting..... "Yes sir Mr Tech. THAT is my leaky windshield washer." A turbo with the compressor only blowing through an intercooler then on to the brake rotors may be another trick for extra cooling.

Scans are ok but when they are so tiny it is foolish. I think the Amazon cloud viewer is the problem.

I Wish I Could Read Japanese
Update: I bought it but it would only play on Kindle Cloud Viewer. It would not zoom so a page was only ~ 3" high and useless. I got tech support to help but there was nothing they could do so they refunded the purchase.... very dumb of them to sell a book you can't read.... so much for cutting edge technology.... good thing they don't make cars.....

Anyone know if a kindle download can be saved to hard drive? I just downloaded Amazon's windows kindle program but the sample file will only stay in the cloud and not in my HD content location.

For softening old rubber I found this: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=865303 "I recently ran into a formula for softening age hardened rubber... couple ounces of wintergreen oil in a pint or so of xylene. I just did some intake boots & they went from rock hard to like new flex in 24 hours. I am astounded at how well it worked. the wintergreen is supposed to have a natural plastisizer in it called meythyl salicylate. the test bits did not swell up noticeably and are still pliable after a couple days sitting on the bench. I put another set in mix yesterday & they show improvement, but not as dramatic as the first set. I intend to leave them in until tomorrow & see if they continue to improve. It's the same mix though, so maybe some fresh materials would speed things up. I got the oil from a local health food store, another source is homeopathic medicine. I hear that sports medicine uses it too." ""With nothing to lose, I immersed them in lacquer thinner and checked them twice a day. The things swell up and you would swear that they are ruined, but they shrink back to normal in a few days. Some guys also use wintergreen available at drug stores and make some sort of brew mixing it with the solvent. I just use the lacquer thinner until the boots soften enough and then soak the boots in the wintergreen for a day. As they start to shrink, the wintergreen sucks in to the rubber. The wintergreen at a cheaper price is also known as Thor Tire Prep #12 and available at kart shops to soften racing tires.""- Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Wiring Harness Terminals And Rubber Covers
Just use alcohol on a rag to wipe the wires and harness clean. Vinegar may also work nicely. Lacquer thinner is a harsh solvent so only use it to sparingly to revive rubber or full strength to dissolve undercoating. btw it was used in the recording industry to refresh the rubber rollers on tape recorders. - Mustache Bar Bushings...
