I tried both a plumbers wrench and a crescent wrench on mine. Both of these damaged the nut and was not able to break it free. I finally took the struts down to the local Nissan shop and they used the 'special' tool to break it free within 30 seconds. Mine were so tight they had to put a foot on the bench to get some leverage! I advise finding the right tool if your nuts are as tight as mine. Of course, tightening your new nuts shouldn't be as difficult. Is there a torque specification for this? -- Mike PS: Yea yea... no nuts comments..

Hate to hear that man... Glad you're working through it. Give yourself a year to heal and "find yourself" again. I went through a similar situation, but, throw in the fact that we were married for 11 years (dating over 15). I could go into details... an entire Jerry Springer episode. Anyway, I feel for ya. You'll be fine after awhile. It sucks, but, it's true.

It's impossible to find replacement connectors. Treat them with care!

Michael, We have a copyright release from Nissan. Go ahead and scan them and post in the gallery. -- Mike

Yep, there's a size limit of 1024x768. Resize your images to that measurement and then try the attachment again. If you do the math, that image size is approximately 1 megapixel. If you have a 5 megapixel camera, you can see how the images will be MUCH larger. Therefore, anyone who takes images using a digital camera will need to resize the images before they can be used as attachments in the messages. Now, if you upload images to the gallery, they will automatically be resized down to an appropriate size for the gallery. I will do some checking to see if I can allow larger pictures but then make the server automatically resize them to save disk space. -- Mike

Ok, I moved things around a bit more in there. The 240K is more obvious and you have an entire category just for 240K. I am doing this in preparation for moderators. Now that an entire area is set aside for 240K, I can give the keys to a moderator and they can create sub-forums and work on that area on their own. Who want's to be the 240K moderator?

It wasn't a demotion! Hey now.. I love all of you Aussies!!! Do you not like the location? Where else should I put you? The work I did last night was just something I did to make it easier to navigate. Maybe I made it more difficult perhaps?

Yea, I am not sure what that was all about. Was he ever mad at me for something? You did say.. "still mad at Mike..." Guess I am clueless ..

Better to rub off your frustration somewhere else than on your bike. I know how it is... I have a Hayabusa. That split second you think.... "I could just run" Then your other side kicks in and reminds you that you can't outrun a radio frequency. Anyway, frustrations are better kept off the bike. Ride the bike when you want to get out for some refreshment. There's a fine line.

Good point 'Wafer.... I must point out that age doesn't necessarily mean wiser or more mature. I've seen 60-year olds act like they were 15.

Yea, chickenwafer's comment was out of line. I bought my first Z not knowing a single thing about it. I liked the car because it looked really cool and had some power to get a little frisky. IN FACT, I knew so little about this car that I created a mailing list that still exists today (see 240z Mailing List from the main menu). I created the mailing list for completely selfish reasons actually... I didn't know anything, so, I wanted to bring a bunch of guys together so we could all talk about these cars together. The selfishness comes with the fact that I wanted this so I could work on my own car based on advice from these guys. Anyway, next thing you know... we have THIS website and thousands of visitors per day. All of this because I didn't know SH*T about my Z.

Dude, it's time to get a new wallet.

There's also various ways to use a search engine like the one we supply here. Just because it's used one way, doesn't mean that it will bring up all the information on the topic. Sometimes I have to try 3-4 times before I find something on any forum before I find the info I need.

Anyone think this couple is still together? If she didn't kill him, I bet her Dad had a bit of a working over with a bat.. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=14743&cat=532&page=1

Ditto... I am glad there is a Z magazine that features early Z's at all. The magazine is very well done and it has survived for this long... The publishers are going where the money is. Wouldn't you? I mean, it's not cheap to publish a magazine and pay for salaries. Start spending more money on early Z stuff.... attract advertisers..... write articles..... keep the subscription.... etc. It's really a catch-22. If you stop paying for the subscription, the potential market declines. And, this means that early-Z advertisers won't pay ... I seriously doubt that revenue from subsriptions keeps the magazine going. It's the advertising. It's the same problem we have here at the websites. If you want to see more early Z stuff... CONTRIBUTE. Either help out by subscribing, write some articles, or help by giving information about the mag to Zcar businesses. And, don't forget our website... we are looking for a big supporter to keep us going. Midwest Z was helping a lot, but, we know they just slipped off the face of the earth. Anyway... my point is that stopping your subscription will actually harm the issue more than help it. If you want to see more earlyZ info... write to these guys. Hell, RAZ1 is part of the magazine... We also have a forum for the mag here....

I just looked at your gallery... are you having this problem on the green Z? If so, those are the idential mags I had with the problem.

Halz, I had this same problem a long time ago. I was using the old slotted aluminum mags that had a post-type lugnut (NOT rounded and self centering). I also tried the balance on the car technique but it eventually came back. It wasn't until I replaced the wheels with a self centering lugnut design that the problem went away.

You guys need a gallery on this site for this show? We can give you a special directory so you can upload photos into it.... I'd love to see them !!

I think the speakers in the headrest give it an excellent option....

How about a small tap on the side of his van with a brick?
