  4. I'll be in Ft Lauderdale/Miami area the week of August 25th on business. Are there any events going on in the area? If not, it would be fun to get together in the evening(s) with some Z heads ... Mike

    Here's a link to a Scarab forum I started a number of years ago... http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=100

    I like the Scarab. It's a very neat and rare modification. For some reason, however, the modifications to the Ebay car just don't look right to me. Things like the MSA air dam, blacked out window moldings, mirror emblems, BBS wheels, guages, mesh headrests, banged up rocker panels, and an ID plate that doesn't seem to fit... I just think something's fishy....

    Saw your uploads.... very nice looking project. I've always wanted to do a RB swap in a 240z...
  8. Who was selling the white Z ? License says DATMAN?

    This is your simplest answer. No need to melt wires or plastic together with this one. When you do find a key, make sure you run down to the local locksmith and have an extra one made. You never actually "plan" on losing your keys but it does happen. I always keep an extra key to every vehicle I've owned. Every now and then you'll need that spare key. It can come in handy when you are in a HUGE HURRY and can't find your typical set of keys (with no time to start looking through the house). And, in the effort to save space, some SMS for ya!

    If you don't care about keeping the stock fuse box, I highly suggest that you replace it with a new unit. MSA sells a really cool fuse box that is built on a circuit board design and uses the newer style spade fuses. I installed one and it looks/works great! http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/SEIC04D

  14. This is something I've wondered for quite a long time... When people upload photos of their cars to websites, why do they hide or obscure the license plate?
  15. Wanna sell me that nice lookin' 510 ?
  16. Guys, Brian was asking about speakers for the original stock radio. Brian, I found an EXCELLENT speaker box from Motorsport Auto. I love it. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/SP You'll have to pick up a pair of 6"x9" speakers to fit inside and they will sound a lot better than what you've got.

    Hiya, YES!!! I would love to have a diagram because I've got a set of triples. I'll PM you with my email address because I don't want to post it in the public forum....

    I found a few posts, but, I am thinking of Cuong Nguyen. He is actually doing conversion parts as well as building his own RB26DETT... http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4463&highlight=RB26 Hope this helps!

    Hi Jakeoster, There are quite a number of conversion people on this forum. Your conversion topics ARE welcome and I'd personally love to see how you're doing with the conversion. There was another guy doing a conversion to a RB26 I believe. Just do some searching and you'll see the updates. -- MIke

    I purchased a 50sf roll of the B-Quiet brownbread. I think it's called B-Quiet Ultimate now. But, it was very easy to install and was less money than Dynamat. Check out my gallery here: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3067

    Nice looking Konig's!! I'm thinking about buying a set. Mind sharing how much you paid for the package and where you bought them?
  25. From what I've found is K&N filters will allow additional air into your engine. It can also be cleaned and re-used. However, since it modifies the air-to-fuel ratio, you'll need to adjust your mixture settings and give the car a tune up. Just putting a K&N on your engine without adjusting the carbs can affect your performance. It's not as big of a problem on newer engines because the computer controls the mixture. As far as re-use... I'm not too excited about making a huge mess when changing filters. I think it's much easier to pop out the old filter and install a new one in less than 10 minutes. One thing I considered was a cold air intake modification to my early 71. I installed triple Mikuni's and I have 3 filters. This can get rather expensive to change filters, so, the K&N option was a good idea. Soon I'm going to install a cold air box and put a single filter out through the front near the radiator. In conclusion: I think the K&N's are worth it. Just be sure to give yourself some time to adjust the carbs. The initial investment is higher, but, you'll save money by cleaning them yourself (of course you'd have to wash them 4-5 times before you'll recoop the cost). -- Mike
