Replacing the chassis
That diagram is from the 240Z factory restoration manual.

Replacing the chassis
I'm with Mr. C. After he clarified himself, we can see what the real question was. FWIW, I always tell my kids, "If you don't understand, ask 'why', or ask more questions." dfr867 didn't need correcting, just some questioning. NOW, he'll get some useful answers. thx

Replacing the chassis
Ed- Why don't you ask him to clarify things? Maybe he said chassis, but meant something else. You probably gave him a big jolt with that negative answer.

You have to order DeoxIt from the wholesaler, and it's a spray product: Deoxit Info

electrical contact cleaning
There is a liquid called "EVapo rust." I have I've been using it on bolts & stuff I have sitting in boxes. It will take the rust off stuff without pitting. You just let it soak. There is also a spray called "deOxit" that is supposed to be good for removing corrosion/rust from electrical connectors.

The Z Car's Nemesis?
Nemesis.... to me, it would have to be something with great handling, rear-wheel drive with decent horsepower, and sports-car looks. I just can't think of any thing right now tho. Or are you going to consider any model with any characteristics? There just doesn't seem to be anything compareable!

What's a Steering Cooler?
I know, Steven. the plan is to re-do the hoses with the correct lengths later. I'll probably put in a cooler then. It shouldn't be hard, because it's on the return side which is low pressure. I might just put some springs on the hard lines that go along the rack to act like fins. The rack is on the crossmember and exposed to air, so that'll help too. Since it's a stronger unit altogether, only the higher RPMs should affect the oil, so I'll be watching the oil colour for a while. thanks for the discussion.

What's a Steering Cooler?
I was able to find some generic info on the subject: Mustang Cobra steering ooler example: http://www.corral.net/tech/handling/pscooler.html Generic U-style oil cooler From Summit racing: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=DER%2D13200 I still need to figure out of I will need one on my 280Z, becausehHighway driving is mostly 3000+ rpm, and I'm planning on doing some travel, like down to FL. I only hope that ol' engine will hold up.

What's a Steering Cooler?
I'll bet I can get one, assuming they are not part of the radiator, like the trans oil cooler. I'm just not sure if I really need one yet. The goal for now is to make it functional. Even the hoses will be too long. I'll pretty it up later in summer.

What's a Steering Cooler?
Yes! I've been saying I'm getting a Mustang rack conversion on there since last November. You don't know how many "experts" have told me "the 280Z doesn't have power steering"

Shipping car to Europe
That's an old joke, about how you really can drive a car from NYC to Europe. Years ago, the soviets drove some trucks around the world that way, only using ships to cross the Bering straight to Alaska.

What's a Steering Cooler?
Dude, the hydraulic hoses from the power steering pump don't attach to the steering coupler.
-
What's a Steering Cooler?
I think a "steering cooler" is like a trans cooler, but smaller for the steering fluid? I'm almost done with my steering rack and when I went to gewt the hydraulic hoses, they kept asking me if I had the cooler. thx

Bill-- I have a half cap you can have. Looks like the one on 26's pic. It's painted a light tan, like raw leather. "Buckskin tan." You (or anybody) can have it for shipping. got a rocker panel, too, but I forget which side, PM me (anybody) for details. thx
