A member at Zcar.com was a little miffed about receiving his purchase from Harmon Resto. This is what he ordered: https://harmonresto.com/products/usb-charger-cig-delete-kit-w-volt-meter. After a brief search on Amazon, it wasn't hard to find a source for the USB ports: https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Outlet-Voltmeter-Waterproof-Charger/dp/B098KD2G8F. Harmon doesn't even bother to leave the inline fuse on it, but they make up for it by marking up the price significantly. So if you really want these, reach out to me. Drop ship the Amazon one to me. (Suggestion: Get this one and you'll have 3 ports. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1WJ3W5X) I'll replace the ring lugs with …

William Stokes, aka @hls30.com, passed away yesterday. He had been battling some medical issues for a while. Now he gets to rest. Here he is on the left from a couple of years back when he went to lunch with a couple of my friends.

Just seeing this - spoiler though - they don't have plans to sell it. 🤪 I think they must have had plans, but maybe they do not any longer. https://www.thedrive.com/news/nissan-develops-major-240z-head-upgrade-decades-after-its-retirement

My son just purchased a 2005 Lotus Elise. It needs some cosmetic work but is mechanically sound. Its currently stored under my 260Z that is waiting on its differential to be installed. We drove to Chicago from Cleveland to pick it up and had an eventful road trip. On the way there, my son's 2019 Veloster Type N's steering wheel locked while driving at 80 mph on the turnpike. He was able to inch the car to the berm, cycle the ignition off and on and that cleared the lock. We just found out this morning that there is a TSB that covers a slew of Hyundai models that addresses this concern so its sitting at the dealer waiting on a part. Please ignore my junk filled …

Gents, I wanted to get on here and let you all know briefly why I’ve been gone and that I’m back. I’ll keep it brief and if you want to more details send me a message. About 8-9 months ago I had a medical incident that was a wake up call for me. It ended up with my in the ER with a doctor standing over me with cardiac paddles telling me they’re going to have to smock me. My job is 100% contingent on my health. Shortly after I notified the company I was placed on medical hold, and have been in this status until recently. This medical event was a watershed moment for me and I spent some time reflecting on my lifestyle and then came up with a game plan. I determ…

You know how those naughty little cookies track your internet activity and serve you up adverts you may be interested in? You know, the ones aligned with what you’ve purchased or searched for!? Well, this keeps coming up and I’m thinking: - Magnets for kids’ school projects, check. - Car protection and camping equipment, check. - Power tools, of course check. - Power boots, wait, what, hold on, what the heck!? Anyhow, I thought that may bring a smile to your lovely faces - is anyone else getting random ads?

Anybody out there know why spell check would stop working on the site? Seems to have happened right after a Windows update. It's checked as on in Settings but doesn't work on any forum type web sites. Still works in Outlook email though.

Does anyone here have any recent experience with Datsun Garage? I placed a big order with them back in July, and haven't received anything from them yet. They sent me a few messages not long after the order was placed, letting me know that some of the items were back-ordered, and could take a while to ship. I received a reply to an email I sent them a few weeks ago, and was told that they'd check on the status of my order, but since then they've gone silent in spite of my sending a bunch of emails and calling them repeatedly. Has anyone received anything from them recently? On the flip side of this coin, I'm seriously impressed by KF Vintage. I've placed two orders w…

Last week, I had the opportunity to spend about an hour experiencing what traveling by car will be like in the future. I was a passenger in a driverless car in Los Angeles. Google's Waymo subsidiary was testing their driverless fleet of Jaguars in Santa Monica and Venice and my son had an unlimited use pass for a week. How could I resist? I felt safe in the front passenger seat and the car handled traffic well, including getting out of the way of a fire truck.

When you post a parts-wanted ad OR reply to and ad/thread requesting a part, beware of the responses : can be a simple reply, usually a private/direct message. The guy might even refer you to another saying ''I've seen this guy advertsing a few'' It'll all sound totally convincing and along with the request for paypal via 'friends/family', which, to a member on this forum seems reasonable too. Check out their member status : for how long they've been a member here and have they posted anywhere else and what was it - in most cases only a VERY brief time, sometimes the same day and with no other public activity (hence the PMs). Admin/moderators - impossi…

I just visited the Route 66 Auto Museum in Santa Rosa, NM (Link) and among the collections is a Datsun 280ZXR: Several other non-Datsun cars and one of the largest collection of Route 66 memorabilia I have ever seen!!! Enjoy. Keith
