:stupid: I have a 82 280zx non turbo 5 speed. when i open my doors the lights mounted on my doors come on but the dome light doesnt. when i open the hatch the dome lights then works. i checked the lights themselves and found that booth the driver and passenger side lights both have power coming to them from both wires!!! there is no ground!! any help would really be great right about now.

:stupid: I have a small dent in my 73 240 hood and everytime i bondo it , it slowly come out. I took the hood down to bare metal used a metal liquid cleaner and then with the help of my 4.5 grinder, roughed up the metal. Applied the bondo, one time in several layers and the next time in one application. After about a month it starts to crack, then you can peel it right out. What am I doing wrong? Outside of using bondo in the first place.

I two have used the toyota caliper upgrade for my 73, I left the back guards of to help with the cooling issue ( I live in AZ ), I also had to add a 1/16th washer to the bolts to offset the calipers from my wheel ( old slotted dish mags ) Other then that I can stop on a dime and give you the change!!!!!!! Im very happy I did the swap, And I would do it again. Just my two cents worth. Z Ya

I have a 73 240 with the L 24 motor z therapy carbs, 1983 electronic ignition and a close ratio 5 speed and im getting 26 miles to the gallon, Im tickled pink !!!!

Let me know more about the indiglo guage stuff for the 240. I have a complete spare set. I think that would add some high tech look to the rather boring dash ( at night ) IMHO.
