Rags

Hmmm, mine seem to have some green coating on them and I'm not sure it is zinc. Anyone else have this? Joe

What are my options for cleaning up the metal brake lines and fuel lines so they don't look like crap? Really not looking to replace them and paint doesn't seem like it would be a wise move since the brake fluid would take it off pretty easily. What have you done? Joe

No worries. I'd like to grab a set from you anyway if you have them available. I can always use them in the 240 Do you have a Paypal account or is there some other way you go about selling these? Joe

Hey Derek, Great design! I'm going to test fit stock 240 panels ans see if I can get them to fit my 280 before purchasing. I know I'll have to relocate the fuse panel but that could only lead me to cleaning up the rats nest of wires I have down there anyway Have you done anything that would fit a 280? Joe

Here's one of mine. This one has an Ls1. Little over 400hp to the wheels, 5 lug conversion, 350Z 18's, yada, yada.

Contact cygnusx1 over at hybridz. He has them in his car and they look absolutely beautiful. Joe

I'm going to change my diagnosis that I posted on Hybridz. I'm thinking this isn't a clutch or trans problem at all, but a brake issue! By any chance did you have the emergency brake pulled when you stored the car? My guess is the brakes are stuck. Put the car in neutral and jack up each wheel to see if they will spin by hand. If you jack up both rear wheels at the same time, each should be able to spin even if the trans/clutch is causing a problem. If one or both don't move, you have found your problem. Brakes. Joe

Not sure if this has been posted, but has anyone seen the Mobil1 commercial where the green 240Z is passing the minivan? Does it belong to someone here? If I'm not mistaken, it's a series 1. Joe Guess I should have searched first. I see it has been spotted!

Thanks guys. Next question, is it possible to dye tan door panels black? I have one good tan passenger door panel and I need a black one. Joe

Like the title says, will door panels from a 75-76 fit on a 77-78 door? Thanks, Joe

Just what I was looking for Bryan. Thanks a lot! Joe

Can anyone tell me what markings are on the bolts that secure the pressure plate to the flywheel? I know they are hardened but I don't know what the marking are. Thanks. Joe

Well I was looking for Nissan glass but now that my suspicions have been confirmed, it looks like I'll be using aftermarket. Anyone have an aftermarket supplier they can recommend? Thanks guys. Joe

I am having a lot of trouble locating a windshield for a friends Black Pearl resto. No one seems to be able to locate one. Are they still available? Anyone have a lead on a good one? I'm in NJ so please take shipping into account. Thanks! Joe

Pop off valve is mounted on the intake manifold after the throttle body. It's purpose is to avoid overboosting. A blow off valve is mounted between the throttle body and the turbo and is used to relieve pressure when the throttle plates are closed rapidly ( between shifts) so that the turbo will not loose velocity from boost not being able to go anywhere.
