Liam in La Mesa (the zman) does have a nice selection of parts ready to sell. He is a good guy and I would buy from him anytime. Stop by the club meeting on Feb 3rd so we can see what you got.

A 3.1 stroker will do the trick as well.

When that happened to my carberated car I ran a wire directly from the main hot wire directly to the coil and it worked.

I have a 1973 automatic, I installed the Petronix in. I used a single point distro and put my dual point on the shelf. Everything works fine, my tach etc. Putting the Petronix in was one of the best low budget fixes that I did, I am very happy with it.

Hey....I bidding that item.... Only if I can get it well below that $650 BIN price.

IM me I can can help you out.

I love these international exchanges of ideas, I know they are all in good fun in the end, afterall we are just talking about automobiles here. An infamous American once said after a court case that involved his beating came to an unpopular ending thus causing the LA Riots: "Can't we all just get along?" I really enjoy reading posts from Carl, Alan and Kats, they give me prospective on some the the history of the car I love. I don't really see any reason for someone to get upset when the other does not agree, again we are only talking about a car here. Like I alway told my kids: "someone has to be the bigger person and take the high road". Here's hoping that Goon locates his motor and everyone will be happy. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Love the car Jim, It looks great. I own a 105k miles 73 automatic so I have something to compare it to. I hope it goes to a good home, good luck with the auction.

At it is current bid this car is a steal. The reserve is off. A beautiful car, I wish I had few extra bucks laying around I would be in the hunt for it.

I did not find anything historic about yesterday...just another day, I still attended my Z club meeting like I do every first Tuesday of the month....nothing historic there.

Whatever....I am here to get away from this kind of crap. I don't think this is the place for it.

So a spoiler with the ribs and flat spot is a "PZR" or "432R"? I have one I picked up when I was stationed in Japan and want to know what to call it. I plan to someday fit it my 73 but until I do I just keep up in the rafters of the garage. I always wondered what to call it...I knew it was not a BRE.

I got a set of "off" white from Classic Datsun, they are outstanding. If you getting black they will be perfect, since all sets start out as black.

How much your dealer charge you?

It's been bumped alright....: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32275

What's your car's condition and what are your goals? What project are you taking up in order to get the car going and what do you want to learn about it? Use the search tab to find out some of the answers to your questions. I am sure you have one of the only 260Z on the big island so local parts are not an option.

Looks like you need a new set of carbs. All your problems are now easy to see. Get a set the right SUs sent them to Ztherapy to be rebuild, intall them in your car and you will be very happy...price should be not concern here because a proper working carb set it a value at any price. Stay away from the night life in Tumon, Club USA, the Viking Tavern, etc... for a weekend or two and you will have enough money to get the new carbs.

Should have bought your SU kit from Ztherapy.... I lived on Guam for 8 years in the 90s so I know what you are talking about. Don't let anyone there touch your car.

Looking forward to it....should be a great event as always. Going as a spectator only, maybe I will enter a car next year.

I got two sets brand new in the box in the Brembo boxes in the garage. I almost put them up for sale a few months ago thinking I can get more later...good thing I was too lazy.

I have been to both Bahrain and Dubai U.A.E, I have always had a great time. The guy from Bahrain was named BuDavid. He sold his Z so he has not be around for some time now.

I was thinking the same thing....nice garage too. In my Nostalgic Hero Mag, this would be called Garage of Hero.

Does your spoiler have the flat spot on it? Most reproductions I have seen do not have the flat spot. I believe Chris has the answer I agree with.

Patient "doctor it hurts when I do this" Doctor "then stop doing that"....it is no different when you own an old car. If the window gives you a hard time at high speed then slow down roll it up and get back to speed.

Snake is getting railroaded. Give him a warning, it is the right thing to do for now. I have sold a few items to a certain person in Texas and have had no problems with him as a seller. Sure he got the items at a good price and now relisting them for more, but who am I to complain about that, I just wanted the items out the garage. $100 for a key, I have a complete lock set what would that go for....just kidding about the "what would it go for" thing. I think I still have 3 or 4 lock sets. I sold a set for a 280ZX with the matching gas cap to the Prez of my club for $120....he lucked out.
