Need P/N for 4.11 Speedo Cog
Not a bad idea. It will have to wait till the car is out of hibernation though. Pretty soon, ... spring is finally coming! Man it's been a long winter. Thanks for the ideas and info. Marty

Need P/N for 4.11 Speedo Cog
Good point Brady! I am using 225/50/15's on the car. I guess I will need to play around with the speedo calculator to see which gear set gives the smallest amount of error. Marty

Need P/N for 4.11 Speedo Cog
You are right, the website only gives you the tooth count and color. He also states that the red cog from the 4.11 won't fit on the ZX sleeve and to use the white cog from the 3.90 instead. This Courtesy info would solve that problem. Thanks Stephen! Marty

Need P/N for 4.11 Speedo Cog
Hi Guys, I went to check Brian Little's website to find info on the various speedo cogs. I recall someone saying lately that the link has changed, but could not find that post. I have recently acquired a 4.11 diff and need to change the cog in my '83 ZX 5spd to match it. Does anyone have the P/N? The new link to Brian's site would be great to have too. Thanks! Marty

Panasport Wheel Weight
Check my gallery. I have 2 cars with 15x7's. I also have a set of Rewinds, but I don't think I have a picture of those in the gallery. Depending on what size tires you get, 16x7's may rub the front fender lips. Marty

240z - Hand Throttle - Need Help
I just did some playing around with my spare early choke. I removed all the mounting hardware where it attaches to the bracket and moved it over to the throttle side. With some extra spacers, I was able to get the lever to line up with the slot in the bracket. The slot is a full slot on this one too, not just the half slot as in my other pictures. I wish I had an extra throttle cable to test out the connection to the lever. I don't really feel like going out in the cold garage and tearing my car apart to try it. I wonder if the cable is still available? Carl Beck, any idea? Marty

240z - Hand Throttle - Need Help
I see what you mean about the offset from the centerline of the lever. I have an extra series 1 choke assembly that I will have to pull out and look at again. I think what stopped me the last time I looked was how to attach the cable to the lever. Jame's lever looks like the choke lever, but has an extra slot that it rides in. Interesting to see the differences. Marty

Those return springs don't have enough pressure to affect the thottle lever. You just pull it back and it stays where you put it. Works great! Marty

240z - Hand Throttle - Need Help
Yeah, I have been less interested in EBAy lately as the pricing does not make sense anymore. There are very few bargains these days. Except of course, when I want to sell something, ! I just bought a steering wheel for my yellow car lately with Beandip's help. He help me locate an original metal cooling fan too. I am collecting the missing parts before they dry up. Once the car is retired from track duty, it will be treated to a restoration. If I see a reasonably priced steering wheel around, I will keep you in mind. Do you need one with holes of no holes in the spokes? Marty

240z - Hand Throttle - Need Help
I have always wondered if you could just add a second choke lever to the right side of a series 1 choke bracket to handle the throttle cable. Looks like it could work. Marty

240z - Hand Throttle - Need Help
They weren't meant to be used while driving. They are an aid to warming the car up, so you don't have to sit there with you foot on the gas pedal. I love it and buy another for my other Z in a heartbeat. So, if you want to sell yours, I'll take it off your hands! Mine is parked in a bad position to take measurements (hibernating for the winter!). If you can't get to yours, I'll see what I can do on the weekend. Marty

Filipe, I was able to dig out some pictures of my hand throttle when I bought it. Hope this helps. Marty

Do you only have the knobs? Which bracket are you referring to? Post a pick of what you do have and we might be able to help you figure out what you don't have. Marty

Nice shots Mark! Looks like the classic Z's were well represented there. Were you on the track, or just shooting the pics? Marty

240Z on Cover of GRM
Oh yeah, now I remember seeing that car on their website early last year. They have done a nice job on it. Marty

240Z on Cover of GRM
I saw that too. Even my wife commented on the nice yellow Z on the cover. I was wondering if that belonged to someone from this site, but they never really said who owns it. Very nice looking car. Marty

Motive Mag Photo Shoot
Thanks. Yes it is darker, it's Ford Midnight Blue. The previous owner did not like the pukey Datsun blue. I agree that this color is nicer, however, it hurts me at shows sometimes. I don't have the heart, or funds for that matter to tear it apart and paint it the original color. Yes, this is the one with Tokico blues and NOS Euro springs. that's why it sits up a little high.
