The state of Calif is looking into taxing you by the miles driven insted of by the gallon of fuel. Now that the hi-breds are showing up more and more this is the serious proposal . What they are afraid of is that because of the hi mileage cars that they will loose the tax base . They are going to require a gps device on all cars that will be read each time the car is gased up at the pump and the cost will be calulated and must be paid at that time. Oregon is also looking hard at the same thing. BIG BROTHER WILL BE WATCHING YOU HOW FAR AND WHERE YOU DRIVE , HOW FAST ALSO . All these things and more is the proposal . Gary I am not making this up . It was on the evening new…

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I will also look at the classifieds... 1974 260Z for trade? It -- 1974 260Z for possible trade... I have a 1974 260Z, the engine is strong, is running the L28 block and a N42 ported and polished head. Running a Schneider aggressive cam, 6 in to 2 polished header, nissan flat-top "silver dollar" pistons (compression is somewhere 10 or 11:1). Just had the head gone thru. I am not sure if the crank is diesel or not, or if the engine has been stroked, has tons of power and was built in Texas. I did not have the engine built. I know that it was put together by a guy in Texas by the previous owner and he put around 5k into the motor. Is runn…

I was thinking since I live in the middle of no where here in NE, I should put on a Z-stock. Could be kind of a car show/ get together of all of us Z people, maybe swap parts. Since I live pretty much in the middle of the US thought it would be a good meeting point?! Let me know what you think. THANKS, chris This could be the begining of the next BIG car show! maybe

Looking forward to "watching" the bidding on this auction this morning, and it "went missing". What lucky dog made off with the car? Someone on this board I hope has purchased? Car looked good, but without seller feedback or information, was risky.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4523480325&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT david

Well, spring is just around the corner here in Pittsburgh, most of the snow is gone. I haven't touched my car lately because of the weather but, now that the weather is better i can get working. I am going to be doing a total restoration and I want to know the best way about doing this. I have some books but I want to know what you guys think. One of the most important things to me is that the whole car be repainted including the interior. I will eventually lift the engine out. In what order should things be done? I need some direction!!! Dan

Hey Guys, Well, my baby got damaged the other day and I am seeking advice on how to deal with the insurance situation. The z was hit from behind and pushed into a truck (icy driveway). Rear valance and bumper destroyed, front: hood destroyed, fenders all out of whack and buckled, right headlight cowl destroyed. Has anyone dealt with ins. companies in this type of situation before? The car was a a great daily driver, 2500 spent on new suspension less than 3000 miles ago, interior restoration half way done, rebuilt l28 w/ dual Webbers. The ins. co .is progressive and they said they use their own appraisers as far as damage goes; this scares me. Any feedback ASAP would be g…

I think my windscreen has a few pits, but not a sandblasted look (FL car). I have read about how the windscreen can have moisture trapped between the layers, which looks like fogged glass at night? How can you check it to see for sure? And if that's the case, can you fix it or do something about it? thx

Got tired of getting outbid on vintage FSMs on eBay and finally won a 1997 reprint of the combined 1970 engine and chasis manuals. It arrived today and I'm really happy with it, much better and easier to use than any of the aftermarket Haynes, etc. I have. Also easier to use than the Courtesy microfiche CD I had, better to see the details with and I finally think I can tell everything I need to get my SUs plumbed in.

I'm 23 years old, and for my entire life there has been a blue 71 240z sitting in my parents garage (Even when we didn't have the room for it). My parents haven't parked in their own garage with their running cars since 1980. From what my parents remember, it originally went in there due to a broken fuel pump. Well, my father for my entire life has been telling me that he would start fixing it when he retired. Well he retired a year ago and still it sits in the garage. A few years ago my buddy and I decided we wanted to restore it, fix it, race it, and generally supe it up. We don't have any abilities that suggest we're even somewhat up to the challenge, but I figure we c…
