Yikes! Also see some nastiness in the comments, (468!), from 2020. Didn't read through them but Lstepp4re seems involved. I don't keep track of all of the players on BaT so not really sure who he is. It's up to $70,000.

Just noticed that car was on baT in 2020. The new owner did some work on it. Wonder if the new work diminished or enhanced the original Restoration work. Original > Restored > Enhanced? It's definitely shinier now than then. 105,240 + 9,000 = 114,240 to break even.

This is AI playing a game... https://apnews.com/video/beijing-hosts-chinas-first-fully-autonomous-3-on-3-ai-robot-soccer-match-e304c40f16684667a9c35a73ab8e5b31

Were they noticeably loose?

Sorry Yarb, I still don't grok. Don't make me discorporate!

Waiting for response...

Actually, we are playing, not getting played. Playing the player. Training the AI. Some people get paid to do that. On the "trubo" misspeling, I'd guess that turbo is misspelled so often that it got scraped in by accident. Incorporate spell-check!

Still feels like AI. &*^ Questions unanswered. No followup. ? %&^ Simple responses only. And no period at the end of every final sentence. 😀 Only questions are properly terminated. The program needs work! Good luck!!???? :;

One of the Restoration Program Z's is up on BaT. Bring a TrailerVintage Restoration Program 1972 Datsun 240Z 4-SpeedBid for the chance to own a Vintage Restoration Program 1972 Datsun 240Z 4-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #199,214.

Post up the serial number and any information about mileage. And if it's complete: carbs, manifolds, air pump, etc. Might have value to somebody restoring an early 240Z. Also, on the 4 speed, whether or not it's a "monkey-motion" transmission or the later style. If it has the clutch parts too, that might help you sell it. Good luck.

How did it look? What did your brother think of it?

Looks like they're selling in the 30's. Found a Reddit review. https://www.reddit.com/r/GR86/comments/1d5ptdn/gr86_an_actual_honest_review_from_an_owner_for/

You're going to San Jose today to see a 240Z. Take a picture and post it so that we can see it. We like to see other people's 240Z's.

Post a picture please. Good luck.

You're going to want a modified Z if you want to have that kind of power. Like this. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-342/ https://www.autoevolution.com/news/bmw-s54-the-m3s-last-and-most-impressive-naturally-aspirated-straight-six-176755.html

We all hear about "AI" every day and how it's the future of mankind. But there are several other terms used to describe it. The goal is to make a computer think/sound like a real person. For what reason, who knows. Entertainment? Piloting to Mars? Plausible deniability? https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/resources/intro-llms "What is a language model?A language model is a machine learning model that aims to predict and generate plausible language.

Looks like they might be owned or managed by some place called MAPerformance. They can't even get the acronym right. https://www.maperformance.com/collections/itm-engine-components "...For the best selection of engine management parts from ITEM..."

I don't know who ITM used to be but it looks like maybe only the brand name persists. They don't even have an open web site. Many/most of the old performance part names are just brand names now owned by large conglomerates that source manufacturing to the cheapest bidder. https://www.linkedin.com/company/itm-engine-components http://itm.openwebs.com:8080/

How do they perform if installed correctly? Just curious. Is it a quality problem or a following-instructions problem?

What's the name of the store in the background? Is that picture from California? Is that fog or smoke?
