Hey. I just bought an intake/exhaust gasket, but it doesn't seem right. I have an N42 head, square exhaust ports, but the gasket has funny shapes for the exhaust ports. They aren't round, they're more hexagonal. Shouldn't they be square? The box even says it's for my year Z, but the ports aren't square. What's going on? Can I still use it? It's a Fel-Pro gasket,and I wondering if it's possible if they tried to incorporate a couple port shapes into a single gasket.

I need to identify the type of adjustable struts I have on my 240 I recently purchased and how to adjust them. I see that I simply use a small screw driver, but how many clicks up or down does what? Is their an adjustment I can make to return them to full soft or full firm and then work from that point. I posted a couple of picks to help in the ID. Thanks Steve 71 240Z

Driving home this morning I noticed my 5-speed tranny getting harder to shift into gear. I like to engine brake (down shift to slow down) and when I would go from 3rd to 2nd it took me 4 times to get it into gear. I then slowed the car in neutral. On top of that, when I wanted to go I could not get it into 1st right away like I always could. This is the first time I have had any trouble with the transmission.

I only drive this car for pleasure, usually a late afternoon / dusk cruise thru the canyons, and noticed something while out testing new front springs today..the old headlight harness thread prompted me to check out my lighting and sure enough the problem only happens when the lights are on... So i came home, pulled the tires, then the headlights, running lights and turn signal lights to inspect, all the harness covers are old of course, so i cleaned & re covered them, cleaned and lubed the plugs etc.. but when I got to the side marker lights, both were in bad shape...looking as if they were filling up with water at least 1/2 way..based on the rust marks..which corode…

Here's an idear Take a 2 litre coke bottle and cut it in half. Put a rubber diaphram (air tight) over the cut end. Aim neck carefully at a candle and tap it with a few fingers, acording to the web site at http://www.cs.wits.ac.za/~jon/science/experiments/ you can put out a candle at upto 2m because it generates a vortex this web site has sum good things to try "put 3 drops of NACO4 with ....... and Run" So im thinking ........got piles of junk around Im so lazy ........slack .....got no money.....and the rest.....
