Rex has the signs of an AI chatbot. Randomly popping up with specific advice on somebody's thread. Emojis. Odd comments. Look at the wedding photo posts. They're getting "better". The ultimate goal of the AI chatbot research is to convince real humans that they are talking to a real human. https://www.classiczcars.com/profile/45905-rex_morten/

Oops. Got distracted. But, in review, somehow Warty has a different part number in his table for the first style. Not sure where that table came from. Here's a clip of the partsmanual page. Different part number for the early style that he probably wants. The part number for the first style, of the three, comes back as just a Nissan bolt when searched. Seems to be available. https://wholesale.autometro.lv/catalog/08110-63510/?__cf_chl_f_tk=z0cpQ.B0.X_.TBiOwGUQOn4vw0anSLJ9Z5vw0088viI-1782870619-1.0.1.1-EQDgDX1yGQ26g0Qn2HCzgMH4oYsE05f2CjNkuE52ATE

Here's the part numbers for the different styles. 6 and 7. 🤢 😵 https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/engine-240z-260z/accelerator-choke-throttle Datsun Z Accelerator Pedal, Choke & Throttle Control L24,...

Blue wrote up a thing about injectors on his AtlanticZ web site. He didn't mention ZX NA injectors but I'm sure that they're the same. It's the same injection and basic EFI system. He also has a good part number for the connectors. I picked up a set of the springed/sprung connectors from a Volvo 240. Get rid of those little wire clips, they're a pain. Any EV1 style injector connector will work. Roam the salvage yard for early 70s and 80s cars. Even some GM cars used them. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/injectors/index.html

Pretty, pretty, pretty sure that 75 - 83 NA are the same. 300ZX would be different. 280ZX Turbo has a different flow rate. But they're a purple color, not tan or green. The insulators changed over the years. They look different but they fit the same. Many of the early EFI engines used these injectors. Even Jaguar used them for a few years. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1982,280zx,2.8l+l6,1209350,fuel+&+air,fuel+injector,6224

The message was on the main Hybridz forum page. Not sure how he created it, maybe public messaging. Hope he doesn't mind his email being out there.

That is called a pintle cap. It's removable. Used to be able to buy them, but you can probably swap one over, if you find the injector is worth keeping. They look pretty crusty! Watch out for other style of cap, there's a variety. Looks like eBay has possibilities that might work.

I feel like a dummy now. That makes sense.

All of that crud passed through the pump. Yikes. I had a heck of a time reassembling the breaker plate after taking it apart. The clips that hold it together were hard to manipulate. You make it sound easy. You must have some skills!

This was posted on Hybridz. Mayolives Zed HeadZed Head. I hope that you can help me. I'm mayolives here and at hybridz and at classiczcar. I've been a member of both for probably 20 yaers. I'm using a new computer and can't get into my classiczcars account. The site says to put in my email address (mayolives@aol.com) and a recovery email will be sent to me. I've tried that a half dozed times with no reply. I've tried to set up a temp account to contact the admin. but it won't allow me using my email. Could you contact the classiczcars admin for me and pass on the information. I sure would like to get back in over there. Thank you for any help you can provide.

The AI chatbots are getting enthusiastically worse. ! How can that be? This one seems to have copied in some citation numbers also, followed by bad information. Slop! There is a link to an engine finding service in the UK though. Wonder if it's a spammer from there.

Who knows? That's why I put them together, it just seemed weird. Pretty good price for a 280Z.

I appreciate the discussion jonbill. Not sure why my communication about not using Google Password Manager is not getting through. I don't have Google or Chrome save passwords. Here is one possibility though - in the past I might have chosen to "stay signed in". I would guess that that requires the password to be saved somewhere. Maybe in Google Password Manager. But, I never have asked Google Password Manager or Chrome or any other app to save my passwords. I type them in every time. But #2 - your link (thanks for that), seems to explain it, and it fits what I suggested above. I guess I should read those Chrome/Google update notices. I didn't realize that Chrome had "access" to everybody's passwords. It's interesting that they do because it implies that they can compare passwords across multiple websites. If you had some sort of uniquely identifiable password they could have a list of every web site you had ever joined, if you used the same password. "Anonymous" of course. Plus they have time stamps of every time you signed in. Nothng you do on the internet is really private. Whenever Google discovers a username and password exposed by another company’s data breach, we store a hashed and encrypted copy of the data on our servers with a secret key known only to Google. When you sign in to a website, Chrome will send a hashed copy of your username and password to Google encrypted with a secret key only known to Chrome. No one, including Google, is able to derive your username or password from this encrypted copy.

Alrighty then, back on track. I found this article on S30.World that is pretty fascinating. https://s30.world/articles/the-s30-240z-sports-option-competition-nismo-adjustable-suspension

Fair enough. People can see what's there. I disagree on exposing the admin actions. People need to understand where that line is so they don't cross it. Now they know, it's all here to see.

I don't really know how passwords work. But, apparently, the password that I had been using was recognized by Google Password Manager. That's what the message implies. Even though I don't use Google Password Manager, so it must be running in the background. It's interesting that you say "apparently" it was a Google Chrome thing. If it's not Google then it would be some sort of malware impersonating Google. I wonder if the passwords are encrypted but still recognized as "the same" by Password Manager. Just one of those weird things. Here's AI repeating what some person called "fasterthanli.me" said.

It's your imagination, and projection. @Mike I started the thread, so just go ahead and delete the whole thing. This is why we can't have nice things.

Mike, you should just delete all of HS30-H's insults and my posts if they bother you. Leave his pictures if you want. But really, you should go back and review all of his posts with an objective and open mind. He might be famous in Z world but that should not give him the free pass he seems to be getting. His posts are more often than not disparaging and insulting, to more members than just me. It's expected, not a surprise when it happens. My post was a response to his insults. But you gave me a warning. Like you did a few years ago for the same type of behavior. His presence might have been valuable in the past but I don't think it's the same today. Be objective.

It's a pop-up that happened when I logged in. It has to come from a forum software function, since that's where I input the password. Since I was in the forum software I went ahead and changed my password. It was a password that I've used on other sites, so it's not clear which site was breached. I thought that maybe this site was breached but apparently not.

You have it backward Mike. Did HS30-H get a warning?

Have you considered the fact that S30.World might be affected by your internet persona? The efforts of the people at S30.World are tainted by your constant trolling on CZCC.com. I've created a post with a link to an interesting article at S30.World written by somebody you probably know. And here comes HS30-H to drop a big steamy pile on it. Don't you have any respect for the people you work with? Is everything about you? Every mention of S30.World comes with an insult or disparaging comment from HS30-H. Break out of your rut. It's not healthy, and I'm not the cause of it. I assume that there are others in your world that feel the same. I looked back over your old posts once and you haven't always been this way. What happened? How is what you're doing today better than what you were doing before? You're not making the world a better place. To the contrary, you're making it worse. People don't come to CZCC.com to see what new insults HS30-H has dropped in the forum. Good luck.

According to DuckDuckGo’s AI search feature, US President Donald Trump passed away earlier this month from rabies. FuturismDuckDuckGo's AI Feature Is Telling Users That Trump Died...DuckDuckGo's AI is claiming, incorrectly, that president Donald Trump passed away from rabies after being bitten by JD Vance.

Or not.

I don't use password manager. I never have. I wonder if Mike is using some sort of Google product for the web site that recognizes passwords for forum members. And why doesn't Google tell me where the data breach occurred?

The white 240Z automatic didn't do so well. But a couple of Z's did very well. Strange. The 1977 280Z won the day. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-358/ https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-datsun-240z-310/ Big wheels... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-datsun-280z-150/
