Zealous Posted September 9, 2011 Share #253 Posted September 9, 2011 Drove it, finally after pulling apart suspension, radiator, thermostat, wipers and other odd jobs. Great to drive her again on a sunny day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW240Z Posted September 10, 2011 Share #256 Posted September 10, 2011 Pulled the steering wheel off and got it all painted up. Now I just have to stain the "wood." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decoy12 Posted September 10, 2011 Share #257 Posted September 10, 2011 Adjusted the timing and tuned the carbs, what a difference! My Z was drinking a lot of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealous Posted September 10, 2011 Share #258 Posted September 10, 2011 Julio, yes I did there were old stock springs that were quite saggy, the new 280z tokicos are much stiffer I am still messing with the adjustment setting on the illuminas and I still have the noise in the back and can't work out for the life of me what it is. I also changes a few other things with the "while I am at it", Time to move on and completely redo the white one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter260Z Posted September 10, 2011 Share #259 Posted September 10, 2011 Cranked up the Z app. 8am. Took a 30 mile trip to Oxford, NC to attend a car show. Car ran like a sewing machine. Next trip will be in two weeks to attend the Triangle Z Car Show in Apex,NC. What a Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavemux Posted September 11, 2011 Share #262 Posted September 11, 2011 Took the Z around the original 6 mile Watkins Glen course!. It was at a leisurely pace thankfully! I can't imagine how the original racers navigated this course at speed. Also had a chance to take some laps around the WGI track which was a lot less interesting since you don't have to worry about on-comming traffic when taking a wide turn!

Ptero Posted September 11, 2011 Share #263 Posted September 11, 2011 While driving my 240z today I shifted into 5th gear by accident. The funny thing is I bought the car thinking it was a 4 speed and have driving it like that for the last 4 months. You can't even imagine my surprise when I found out the car has a 5spd.
