There is a big "shine and show" up in my area (Auburn CA) tonight. There are 200+ cars that show up and is really neat. I haven't been to it all year and this is the last one of the year. I've posted pictures of my car on a British car forum and have been scoffed at for bastardizing the car in such a way. The engine swap was done 25+ years ago by a PO, and frankly it performs better than stock, is more reliable than stock and costs a fraction of the cost to maintain. It will be interesting to see people's reaction to the car when viewing it today. Here is the placard I made that will be sitting under the hood.

If you failed to catch the show over the weekend, you missed a great show. One Word, DATSUN They had two Datsun roadsters, 240z and a mid 60's pickup. This was the K&N Classic Car Show. The show was on speedvision.

Hello all, I am looking at a 1978 280Z. My mechanic, who is a big Z fan and owns a couple, has worked on this car and says it's in excellent shape both mechanically and body wise. The owner says he is into it for 11K. He bought it from the original owner in southern states. He is asking $6800. needs new paint and maybe some small cosmetic interior work like new carpet. Body is 99% rust free. Needs new carpets. All gauges work including clock. Floors are good. Very little bit of rust near battery box. Terrible paint job. Engine is good. Original engine. Supports are rust free. Dash has a cover on it. My question is if I can get it for $6000 is that a good price? Thanks Chr…

Just a little rant about "The Car Show"! Watched the show last night and as usual it included some pretty dumb stuff! However, it does have some good stuff, just not enough. Here is the real point of my post.....Adam, a self proclaimed Datsun guy, was visiting some rich guys car collection, which was very nice and included a really nice Datsun race car that had won a championship title. Adam comments by saying...Oh, nice 240Z, when any Datsun person could see was a 280Z!!! I just thought it was sad/funny that a self proclaimed Datsun guy doesn'tt know the difference between a 240 and a 280.:stupid: Tom

Folks, Not real sure where to put this post, or for that matter, what to title it, but here goes. NEVER DULL: more versatile than you think! One product, Never Dull, you probably either use or have heard of, but do not use. It's the bottom-shelf metal polishing wadding stuff. Whatever its merits as a metal polish, it is the absolute best old wax remover that I've ever found. Wipe it on, wipe it off with a cloth. Considering how well it works on old wax, its probably taking off new wax as well, so aim carefully and given enough time, I wouldn't doubt it would start on the paint, so be quick about it. I've never had a problem with it removing paint, but I don't reall…

Has anyone had any problems with Too Intense Restoration? I placed an order with them at the beginning of the month and shortly thereafter received an email saying the order would ship by the 7th. I haven't heard anything since. I have tried calling and keep getting the machine and have not had any replies to emails. carl

I recently cleaned my 240Z gas tank and sealed it with POR. I was a little concerned that with all the small dia. fuel and vent lines, the sealant might clog something. So I took a piece of mechanics` wire and ran it through the various pipe fittings. When I got to the main pick-up line (immediately adjacent to the fuel-gauge sensor opening), the wire kept sticking and binding. Once I worked it past the first two obstructions, it ran well for a few inches, then stuck again. At that point I had no idea whether the wire had got caught up in another bend in the pipe, or had reached the bottom of the tank. Fortunately, I had a spares-only wreck with a rusted tank. I cu…

I have two projects in mind and would like your input. 1. I would like a nice clean balance tube, without all the plugged holes and extra and unused mounts. I think ZTherapy has them $160 +$50 core + shipping, which is too much for me. I'm thinking of finding one (anyone have an extra for cheap?), JB weld bolts in them, then grind them flush, a little body work and a coat of paint (like it has now). Thoughts? 2. The air horns on there now look cool and British, but do not offer any air filtering. I'm thinking of fabricating an air cleaner for them and then I can get rid of the do-hickey on the valve cover and run a hose to the air cleaner. Thoughts?
