@EuroDat I know you made this blog awhile ago. But I am going through them and find this to be an interesting addition. Do you happen to have any photos you can add to this entry so we can keep it going? Mike

I've reached out to the leadership to make sure we are on check for the correct venue and dates. Will keep you posted.

Absolutely! I was reading the comments and it looks like the new owner loves everything about the car. Glad he is happy and ready to use it...

We’re rolling out some changes to make things better for everyone. Here’s what’s happening: 📢 Updated Process🔹 Classifieds – Our classifieds have officially moved to the forum!

Stay tuned! 🆔 Profile Block – This will display your member number and a quick profile summary. 🌐 External Links – This feature, which provides links to external websites, is under review and may be phased out. 📅 Event Calendar – The calendar is in place but needs a few updates before it’s fully functional again. Hang tight! 📌 Retired Features❌ Ignore Posts – This option has been removed. 🗺️ Community Map – This feature has been discontinued. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue improving the platform! Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. 🚀😊

In case you were wondering what has changed in our website over the last week, here's a video I posted in our Youtube channel. This should help clear up some of the new features and how you can use the new website design to your advantage.

Here’s a business card that was sent to me by Taka Sato

Just found this gem in my Youtube channel, not sure why I haven't posted it yet. Taken a year or two ago after I had the VTO wheels installed.

Someone from the club should go rescue that damsel...

Ugh, that steering wheel

If you are going for originality, yes of course... 😉

Man, I'd give anything to have any kind of shop... 😉

Man I wish I had the space for a blast cabinet... I would use it all the time. A few more years until the kiddo is out of school and I'll be looking for a place with a shop.

Other than a throttle, key, choke, and a gauge to make sure you have oil pressure... should be fine.

Ah yeah looks like they are out of that model... might want to give them a call? https://www.thezstore.com/datsun-280z-1977/product/2579/factory-heater-control-valve-8-75-78-280z

Looks like MSA also has the valve... double check to make sure this is the right one... I am not sure what car you've got. https://www.thezstore.com/product/2576/factory-heater-control-valve-79-83-280zx-with-auto-ac MSA also gives discounts to members, just need to provide them with your membership ID.

Yeah that's probably one of the worst designs for a valve. I've had plenty of curse words during my time working on that thing. Do it right or you'll be back under the dash again later.

Here's a link to our wiring diagram collection.. probably need to look that one up. https://www.classiczcars.com/files/category/1-wiring-diagrams/

Welcome! Great car you got there... 😉

This is great!
