  1. Desert stealth 82 ZX. Only the shine would make it visible in the dunes. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1982-datsun-280zx-17/

    How about the other stuff? Might also be that your idle speed is just too low. The alternator/crank pulley ratios are not quite right on the Z's. If they'd just made the alt spin a little faster, many problems like this wouldn't be around. An extra 100 RPM of idle speed can make a difference.

    The guy screwed up his numbers. Might be off the radar.

    https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jan/18/almost-30-of-covid-patients-in-england-re-admitted-to-hospital-after-discharge-study Nearly a third of people who were discharged from hospitals in England after being treated for Covid-19 were readmitted within five months – and almost one in eight died, a study suggests.

    You must have contacted the wrong "Motorsports". They made quite a big deal out of reintroducing them to the Z cars. Just the word Koni should have been enough to get you set up. p.s. seems like these should really be called a strut component, or strut shaft, or strut member, or strut shaft shock member. Without it there is no strut, but it's not the complete strut.
  7. The relay locations are shown in the Body Electrical chapter. The 260Z has the inhibitor relay also. https://www.classiczcars.com/files/category/12-260z/ The wiring diagram will have wire colors which can help. https://www.classiczcars.com/files/category/1-wiring-diagrams/ Some of the relays and devices have numbers printed on them.
  8. $132,000 for the Pantera. There's a video but the guy never really got on it, unless I missed it. I FF'ed through parts. Drone....
  9. $26,250 for the Honda with the motorcycle carbs.
  10. Not a Z or a Datsun, might be pretty fast. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-detomaso-pantera-26/
  11. Not a Z or a Datsun, probably not very quick (0.8 liter engine) but kind of neat. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-honda-s800-coupe/

    Going for the perfect rear wheel bearing install. Karma says you'll slide in to a curb on your maiden voyage. Just kidding! Did you examine the old bearings for damage? Wondering what was making the noise.

    My thought was more about "what now" after they got in there. Even if they accomplished their "mission" and there were several dead politicians scattered around, then what? Occupy the Capitol building? I lived in the Portland area when the same type of people "occupied" the Malheur Wildlife Refuge buildings. All they did was camp out there for a little over a month, but accomplished nothing. Same type of scenario, use their guns and take over a tiny spot on the face of the globe. For what? The wild west isn't wild anymore. That stuff doesn't work now. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2017/02/oregon_standoff_timeline_41_da.html

    Mistake. Sorry to the guys that "reacted". I spit the hook.

    There was actually a good crowd on there for a while. They knew a lot. Tony D was a troll, you just had to ignore him. Even Tony D had some good advice at times, if you picked through his vitriol. Most of them have moved on, some left the Z world, some just got tired of the internet I think. The site owner, SuperDan, seems to have put things on autopilot. Won't be a surprise if he sells it. zcar.com got sold years ago and was moderated by some sort of committee that used the same account name. "something"boy, I think it was. It was a different person responding whenever you reported something. Their purpose was just to keep the site functional, they knew nothing abut the content. It was just a place for Google ads. Apparently it's different now, but I haven't been there for years.

    Green Bay, WI. Watching the Packers games. Lambeau Field. It's a party.

    Don't overlook that the torque range is wide (probably) because it's an adjustment range. Torque to the minimum number then measure end play and preload. If it's not right go a little tighter. If you get all the way to 239 and things still aren't right there's probably a problem.

    Here's what they've sold, but they don't show the selling price. https://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/sold-inventory.htm?model=[240Z]&orderby=make Here's what they have, way overpriced. https://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/inventory.htm?model=[240Z]&orderby=make,year
  23. I thought these guys were a southern band because they sang about New Orleans. Turns out they're from Canadia. The lead guitar guy is excellent.

    If the quote says "cash - full price, will pick up" it's probably worth hanging on to. But if it has contingencies like "after arrival and inspection" I'd avoid them. Some of these places will get people in to a bind so that they have to take a lower price. Just be careful. Since it runs and drives and you're in the middle of the country, coast-to-coast, it wouldn't be a surprise if somebody bought it and tried to drive it home. Spring is coming and people have been cooped up. You have good odds. You could probably find a garage with a lift that will let you take some pictures while it's up. The work you put in before you advertise it will make a difference. That green Z in the BAT listing probably left a few thousand behind because they posted a dirty car.

    The variant is getting closer. Right around Portland Oregon, they don't know how it got there. https://ktvz.com/news/coronavirus/2021/01/15/multnomah-county-resident-first-in-oregon-with-uk-variant-of-covid-19-virus/ https://covidactnow.org/?s=1520469
