well in nature and the real world its impossible to heat a ball of air to 2000 degrees and charge it with 20kV then push it at someone. So shouldnt the spark thats triggers the burning of all that fuel be natural as well not like modern systems, eg a series of sine wave pluses across the plug, so rough figures -ve spark then + spark, at 8kh hz for 2-3 mS ? Would this be better and more natural? I seem to remember in the 70's that a good set of points would have slightly more topend power than a transistor setup, but the points would change farly quickly with time. >>>>>> so have 2 coils with digital control feeding into one point via a Y cable, one coil …

I'm looking for a clean (non-race) poster of an early Z. I haven't yet found much. I think one of the suppliers has a technical drawing, and I've found one small poster on epay. I'd like something in a 24x36 size or so that would be appropriate on the wall of my stall at work (Nissan dealer), so no girlie pictures etc. Devin

Well I can't sleep tonight thinking of all the things I am going to try to do to my Z on vacation. The harsh reality is that it I will probably only get half of them done. I've got to get this car done so I can get some sleep:sleepy: And i am going to need a vacation after my vacation:cross-eye

My car has original paint in most excellent condition. I am a member of the yellow Z car club as well. When my father in law purchased the car, he had the dealer shoot the entire tail gloss black. I am trying to figure out if I should have the tail resprayed yellow. I really don't know if I like it black. It seems it was taped off at the corners. If it is resprayed, do you think it will be real noticable as a respray? If so, maybe I should just leave it black. And since I am at it, the rockers are painted black as well, should I repaint those too? I don't want to respray the entire car. What to do?

Tough choice

I had to finally make the choice between the 280Z and 300ZX.the 280 is half apart in my garage as it gets patch panels welded in along with many WIAT things. The 300 is ready to go cruising anytime in luxury. Not enough room or time for both...... The listing on the 300ZX comes out tomorrow in the regional paper. I just can't part with that S30. for some reason.

Hey guys, I havn't been too active here lately, but I'm working on it. I went to Florida for work recently and bought a 2000 BMW Z3. I threw out my return ticket and drove it back to Toronto Canada. What a ride. My Florida temp plate fell off in Virginia, but I didnt get pulled over the whole way. I DID tell my wife...but I dont think she believed I would do it. When I got home I planned to keep it for a bit, then sell it and hopefully make a tiny profit to pump back into the 240Z restoration. So I went online to the BMW forums, and I gotta tell ya. The Datsun bunch here is a waaaay different crowd. Every 3rd post there is some guy correcting another guys spelling, or…

I've just completed a new modification to the Classic Zcar Club. A new profile system has been added and gives any member the ability to totally customize their own profile (very similar to a "My Space" page). This is one of the coolest additions I've come up with for the site, so, don't forget to check it out!! To see any profile, simply click on the username and view the profile. You can modify your own profile within the system as well. I will be making changes to the profile system over the next few weeks by adding ports to our photo gallery and other cool features. Check it out! Click HERE to see my profile now. Have fun!
