Enrique was always quick to offer a hand whenever it was needed. He helped Toni and I with advice and assistance while restoring our 240z. More importantly he was a good friend. We spent many hours at car shows trading stories and drinking beer. He will be missed.

Including the time the shell sat at the paint shop(3 months) it took about 6 months. I work an unusual schedule that allows me to have 3-4 weeks off at a time during the summer. Those days "off" were spent from dawn until dusk woking on the car, my wife worked right along side me. It is her car afterall

Its great to see those pictures again....................

I can't believe I didn't add that one in. I threw the video together while playing with the stupeflix editing service. I believe I have the hi resolution photo on my home computer.

X2 thats the same thought I had, that stuff is very difficult to remove, even with a wire wheel and a scraper.

No problem. Im glad SOMEBODY found it humorous.

I tried sea foam on my car. I wasn't impressed. It might work on lightly carboned engines but after treating my car and still hearing preignition I pulled the head and it didnt appear that the seafoam had any effect at all. I removed all of the valves and cleaned the deposts from them manually. I also soaked the combustion chambers and piston tops in carb clean and scraped the carbon off. It was a long weekend but rewarding, the engine never ran better.

That is great................ We all lost brothers on that day, the joke doesn't make light of that terrible event. It is a satirical look at pop culture, thats all. I thought it was funny. Some people think the 3 stooges and fart jokes are funny, I don't. We all have different tastes, what brings us together is an interest in Z cars, but I believe we can all tolerate others interests and humor without being caustic. Or at least I thought so.

Sorry guys......I thought it was hilarious and just wanted to share it. I don't understand why anyone would take the time to post a negative comment on a joke. I have read many bad jokes on this and many other forums and never felt the need to post a negative reply. I suppose I just have a more forgiving and easy going nature than some folks. Also, for those who feel the joke was "too soon"... I apologize if they are still mourning Bin Ladens passing.

Ah, the forum is "funny bone", it doesnt have to be car related..... if you don't think its funny click away ....... btw, its a joke for those of you that didn't pick up on that nuance.

In an exclusive TCR interview, Osama Bin Laden’s widow, Amal Ahmed Abdul Fatah, revealed how horrified she was when the Navy Seals arrived at their Pakistan home. Ironically, it wasn’t the weapons fire or stealth helicopters that frightened his young wife, but the idea of visitors arriving unannounced while her house was “such a mess.” Amal said she begged the Seals for a few minutes to straighten up her bedroom, “but they thought I was trying to protect Osama, and shot me in the leg – no hard feelings, though. I can see how my actions could have been misinterpreted.” “Osama was such a slob,” she said. “He grew up in this wealthy family and never learned to pick up after himself. Then, he was living in Afghan caves where they just threw trash on the floor and peed off the side of a cliff. You would think he was raised in a barn.” Amal said she “apologized profusely to Navy Seals about all the crap on the floor, but the news media went ahead and released video of her trashed house for the world to see. I was horrified! My mother won’t even return my calls now.” Amal explained she was duped by her husband with promises of a million dollar mansion near a golf course, “but the place was a total dump.” Once, I tried to apply for a home equity loan to at least put a coat of paint on the walls and buy some new rugs, but the loan officer at Bank of America asked if ‘this was some kind of sick joke?’ when I listed my husband’s name on the application. It was probably a waste of time even trying. For a trust fund baby, Osama had terrible credit.” Amal said her frustration had reached a fevered pitch by the time the Seals arrived. “All Osama would do was sit on his butt watching recorded videos of himself on TV day and night. Honestly, I think he had the hots for that Brooke Baldwin on CNN. If I ever objected, he would rebuke me, and say not to disturb him while he was working. Yeah right. The bum never took me anywhere for the last five years. He was too cheap to buy a satellite dish, so I was stuck at home watching the same DVDs over and over again. Viewing the Simpsons Season 14 boxed set, I would dream of being married to an open-minded, attentive husband like Homer. Marge is such a lucky woman. I guess I’ve always had bad luck with men. My sisters say I’m subconsciously attracted to deadbeats.” When Amal learned about our upcoming exclusive interview with Muammar Gaddafi, she asked if we would pass along her phone number and newly created Match.com profile URL to the “Libyan bad boy.” Amal said, “Tell him I’m single again. I kind of have a thing for older guys.”

I believe gasoline without ethanol is more stable, and would be preferable if you store your car for extended periods of time. Ethanol absorbs moisture.

I was thinking the same thing.

Im using a wideband o2 sensor. In my experience I have found that if you adjusted the mixture on an SU to be correct at idle you will most likely find that your car is too lean under a load at rpm. At least thats what I have found. My car runs best when the idle mixture is rich(about 10.3:1 air fuel ratio). Under load at higer RPMs the mixture settles in at about 12.5:1 to 13:1

Could I get the backup copy for myself? Id like to save it on my own computer.

I havent been back to this registry in quite a while but it appears the data is screwed up again. Some how none of the columns match for my car anymore.

You could probably make some cash on parts from the car. Z32's rarely show up at the wrecking yards. How is the interior? Im looking for a clean drivers door trim panel for mine.

That alternator eventually failed completely. I bought a replacement rebuilt alternator for an 82 maxima (i think) and no longer had that issue. I believe it had something to do with the "cut in rpm" of the alternator or maybe one of the diodes in the alternator had failed. Wish I could give you more information but as soon as I no longer had the problem I moved on to the next problem..... .

That sounds like a really bad idea to me...... :stupid:

Lola Frisbee? Must have been one of my long lost relatives who forgot the proper spelling of Frisby.

I have my dream garage...in my driveway.
