   Hey guys. I have started stripping my engine and engine bay down to clean the 35 years of grime. I am planning on buying an inexpensive parts washer from Harbor Freight tools, about $80 for a 40GPH model. I am not too thrilled with Harbor Freight, but I can't see investing big bucks on such a simple tool. In my research I find there are two types of cleaning solutions: aqueous or petroleum based solvents. As much as I can appreciate the PC of being green (I just purchased a Prius as my daily driver), I wonder how well an aqueous solution will clean the accumulated grime. Can anyone share some of their experinece with the two products? And is there a particular bran…

   I'm considering switching out my stock ignition system with and electronic system. What do I need to purchase for this conversion and what should I consider with this swap. My car is a 1973 240z. I have been told I could get a system out of a 280z and this would be a direct fit. Please advise of any pitfalls or performance advantages. Ken

   I have a 1977 280Z and i was thinking about putting performance header and exhaust on it. I was going to get a Monza system for both of those items and i was wondering if anyone knows about Monza? Like how it sounds and performs. If not Monza should i get another brand?

   EBay Project ('F' Word) restoration car 1 2 3

   Someone is listing a car on eBay that is supposed to be one from the Nissan America restoration program -- you know the one with the "F" word. Anyway it was supposed to be in the program, before it ended and wasn't completed. Comes with lots of new parts. Might be worth a look to someone with the money for a partially completed project. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-1972-Datsun-240z-FACTORY-PROJECT-CAR-WOW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQitemZ4623876995QQrdZ1

    Finally - the Solstice! Several years ago we discussed the proposed Pontiac Solstice on the e-mail based Classic Z Car list... Well finally it's here, released, in the metal.

    First I want to clear the air that these are not my decisions. Second these choices were made by an AMERICAN PUBLICATION so they are slanted because of the readers of this magazine.
