Could I barrow 1.5mil
In the magazine article that he took pictures of, he says that you get everything... the parts, the cars, the house and the buses... $2M at the time of the article, now he's asking $1.5M. There is a lot of really valuable stuff there, but some of the condition looks iffy. A shame really.

cold weather = bad mileage?
First off... This is how's it's been explained to me and it actually makes a little sense. I am a born and bread southerner, Charleston, SC to be exact! By way of the Coast Guard I now have logged in more than 5 years in Upstate NY. Aside from the obvious reasons of letting the vehicle warm up longer and spinning the tires on snow and ice...... Air:Fuel ratio. The air is colder and therefore more dense requiring more fuel to maintain the proper ratio, otherwise the vehicle would run lean. Every year when winter comes along I too see a decrease in mpg. My $.02... Nate

240SX Alternator Swap
Mike, Outstanding write-up! This is VERY good info and in fact you have inspired me to take this project on while my Z is in winter lay-up. Worth mentioning... I noticed on the Z Car Creations page that you linked to, that they noted for 240Z and 260Z to install a diode to prevent run on. Thanks for the time you spent gathering up the info and placing it into one solid article, It will save many of us a lot of time. Nate

Beautiful 240z
They do look a little big here... but I've seen plenty of 16" Panasports that look spot on! Maybe it's just the angle of the photo?

Which wax do you use?
I've used a bunch of products over the years, but can't say that I've used Liquid Glass. Typically I use Meguiars, outstanding results and readily available almost everywhere. Jim has pretty much laid out the best way to go about restoring the shine... but if you're looking to do a little less work try a clay bar, polish, and then follow up with wax... typically I use Meguiars Carnauba but recently I gave their NXT Generation Tech Wax and this stuff is awesome! I'm not usually into synthetic waxes but this stuff worked great! Nate

2008 Z Looks more like early ?
Mike, From what I can tell it looks pretty much the same with just a reworked front end. And from what I can tell that is just an artists rendering using the 35th anniversary model. Personally I like that front end better... maybe Nissan should hire that guy... And the color is all you!
