Happy New Year 2024!

[Mike]

Hope everyone has a great new year!

BTW, what *ARE* your resolutions (with your Z of course)? 

 

[Yarb]

I pray I can get this car finished and back on the road!! The wall of new parts is crazy!!

[Patcon]

Yup, assembled and driving. Probably not  "finished" but more enjoyable!

[Paulytunes]

My resolution is to get my rusty floors replaced and drive more.

[Pat Carr]

To install the new shocks I bought 3 years ago.

[Jeff Berk]

How many years until you can call them NOS (New Old Stock)?

Happy newyear to you all!  Hope to finish my already 1000km driven 280zx.. only the engineroom needed to be done as i left it in during the resto.. So painting the engineroom and put back in the as new looking engine with only 120000 km from new..

I almost sold my 240z after 25 years and i doubt that i will restore it again.. we'll see..  And maybe the 300zxtt has to go for a 370z..

OR.. i get myself a 370z and keep e'm all HAHAHA... 🙈

For me, the list is small but complex:

1. Find and install a rebuilt brake switch distribution valve
2. Install higher temp brake fluid (damn headers are too hot)
3. Buy and install a Mikuni heat block shield (again, headers)
4. Buy and install Nismo electric fuel pump and bracket

@Mike Send those headers to Jet hot in NC and you will be extremely happy

Yeah.. i guess you better coat them with ceramic  It solves both problems , it is a bit expensive but you get as a bonus a beautiful header back!

You mean that thing under the hood with the brakelight connector and 4 brakelines?  That gives a signal when there is brake unbalance?

If no one has one i think i can restore you one and send it to you.  (Note that spareparts are expensive overhere.. as it is a small part the shipping should not be to awful.. Also at the moment i'm slower than a snail..)

Mine were reasonable $425 for header & collector.

If he decides to go through the trouble of getting his installed header coated, these folks do MSA's work.

http://www.embeeperformance.com/  they're a little closer.

Ask me how I know??? This was on my front porch, damaged. I contacted Joseph at MSA and we figured out that Embee sent them the coated headers in a flimsy box by the pallet load. His shipping guys weren't re boxing them and sent mine across the country in pretty much a paper bag. So good communication worked again, problem solved. I got another one shipped ASAP without anything but sincere apologies. Great Z supplier!
