Hey gang So I'm working on a little project (don't enough irons in the fire....) and was wanting to bounce some ideas off a few of you So the blow up parts pictures in the clubs parts fiche CD pdfs are, as we all know, well, pretty poor quality. So poor that reading the numbers is often impossible. carpartsmanual's version of the fiche is better, but still not perfect. carpartsmanual on the left, same pic from the fiche CD's. Not the worst one I can assure you. I want to get a set of these pictures that is better quality. One idea would be to have the fiche re-digitized at higher resolution. Another would be to perhaps make a project wh…

I thought it would interesting to start a thread of pictures showing S30 Zs in junkyards or have been sent "out to pasture" that include the location (including city, state and name of junkyard if possible), date picture(s) taken and any other interesting information about each car. Here are a few pics of a '72 240Z taken in 2004 at Speedway Auto Wrecking in Erie, CO:

I want to do two things on my 280z: 1. Hide gas tank from view from rear. 2. Run exhaust straight to back below rear license plate. Here is a crude scratch pad idea... a bit of Opel GT I am currently planning the tank and one idea is to have the bottom thinned so that it tucks up higher under the rear valance. The modded tank will also fill both areas behind the wheel wells (now that the driver side exhaust will not be located there). This will regain some of the tanks volume. A vent on the driver's bulge will need to feed back to the passenger side. A heat shield between the exhaust and tank above may be suitable for heat issues. …

Somebody gave me this..., and it taste like tequila. I'll drink it anyway but I did the shake test off Moonshiners do and the bubbles go away quick. I've buried all my car keys and given the map to my neighbor. Happy New Year everybody. From here on out disregard anything I type. I'm being proactive.

So after about 4 months of living with my second Z car I have come to appreciate my 280z even more. I purchased a 2006 350z as an alternative toy to my 1977. I also thought it would make a nice little Touring car for the wife and myself and it does do that very well. The car had the options I wanted, I.E. Brembo's, staggered Ray's wheels, Touring Trim with a 6 speed manual & very clean for $6,200.00! Deal! The thing that shocked me about this car is how truely horrible the car shifts for a reasonably modern car. The car is a real beast to drive in traffic. I understand that the manual is becoming a thing of the past for most looking for a new car these day…

I received a message from a friend today. He sent me this picture asking if it was my car. It got featured in coverage of The Mitty in 2016.

I plan to get a car media blasted inside, outside and underneath. The body shop asked that I remove the wiring harness. Removing the front harness wasn't that big of a deal. Removing the rear one seems like a major pain and almost an impossibility. Has anyone had a car media blasted while the rear wiring harness was still in the car? Is there a way to protect it and still keep it in the car? Is removing and reinstalling the rear wiring harness as big of a PITA as it looks? especially considering it needs to branch out where the dome light and defrosters are located. Then go back to the tail lights?

Next door traveled for the holidays and gave me this. I think they wanted to be far away? I feel some scratched knees and busted sheet rock?
