Rather than let these threads go on forever as they do in some other forums, I thought I'd start new ones for separate generations for the New Year. Use these threads for short, Twitter-like posts, things that may not be worth their own thread.

This one is for the S30s. Enjoy, and let's keep each other involved!

Assembled front and rear suspension components over the past couple days...

This morning I took care of the truck like stick shift , cut 3 inches off and installed a nice vintage MOMO leather euro type shift knob, it seats nice on the boot and matches my vintage MOMO steering wheel and looks , feels, works fantaZtic.

Over the past 10 days, I've ordered some engine compartment bling and installed some of it, as all of what I ordered has not arrived.

What did I do today, well, late yesterday. I finally got around to building aluminum roll-around frames for my jackstands. I need to have these so that I can move the car around to work on it and then roll it back out of the way so that I can park my truck back in the gararge.

I learned that a bad tachometer makes the car run like crap and makes some of the guages not work. Spent a while tracing wires, looking for a bad ground, etc. Swapped out tach and now have good oil pressure and cars idleing at 1100 rpm. Not bad for straight off one engine and onto another.

I came across a polished set of zx's wheels and the slots wheels will go on EBAY.

I installed a fuse panel and some relays behind the blower motor so I can clean up the wiring running to the radio, amp, fog lights, fuel pump. I put my windshield in today also, passenger side upper corner does not look like it is going to seal well, must of shifted over a bit or something when I was pulling from the inside. Corner trim pieces wont really stay in the grooves either, but owell I got a nice fuse panel installed and my radio is working so I will just turn it up and try to ignore the waves of water leaking into the cabin.

I got my 74 260Z out of the shop yesterday. I had a clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder installed. Also had the brakes bled. I took it out on its "maiden voyage" yesterday and it drove and performed pretty well. I am going to run a couple of tanks of gas through it then get the carbs adjusted. It has a one weird issue with the headlights. The headlights will only come on after the wipers are turned on. I can turn the wipers off and the headlights work fine. It also has a loud squeking sound in the right rear suspension. Oh yeah, and I gotta catch the mouse that has made a home in it !! Enjoying it and .... the project begins!!

Had to check out the new Rota wheels(16x7 +4) on my 240Z today, then shot some photos outside the garage.

I starated the restoration & repair of the other front splash liner. It just about fell apart when it was removed. I just need about 14 more coolant jugs.

Finished installing the bling. Still need the headers to arrive. Looks purdy...

just trying to sell mine 280z & if I cant I guess start parting it out it would not take much to make a daily driver out of it already has several new parts on it. An just needs like 2 small places fixed an new tires an replace a fuseable link on it were ever it is at still cant find all of them on the car.
