Hey, next time order them from Motorsport Auto. http://www.zcarparts.com They are usually more careful about that parts they send to you... especially if you're outside the USA. -- Mike

Making Mp3 **** for car stereo
A playlist is usually a separate file that can be put on the CD along with the other music files. Depending on the player, it will find the playlist and start to play the music as it's listed in the playlist.

Making Mp3 **** for car stereo
The original question was in relationship to DJ work, I believe. The Ipod is no doubt, a more convenient way to listen to music. Higher-bandwidth recordings and better encoders can result in some pretty good fidelity for audio compression.

The vinyl is glued down. We actually put a layer of jute behind the vinyl to give it some additional insulation properties. It just didn't look right glued directly to the metal. Carpet and vinyl were purchased from Les Cannaday at Classic Datsun. His stuff took longer to get, but, it was worth it in the end. If you buy from him, please tell him that you talked with us at the club. -- Mike

More updates... take a look at it now. Vinyl showed up and the crosshatch pattern looks so close to stock, I can't believe it. Things are moving along quite nicely.

Hi guys, here's an update. Photos attached show us actually installing the front windshield. Bryon and Steve had done this before, but, it was my first time. The trick is to use a small rope and put it between the rubber before the window is put into place. Once the windshield is in place, the rope can be pulled out slowly from the inside and it sucks the window into position. Put a little windex or soap on the rubber and it will make it a lot easier to work with.

MSA Rear Sway Bar pics/advice please
Hey texasz... Call me a dunce, but, if the car didn't come with mounting holes in the frame, how does the ST kit mount to the car without drilling? -- Mike

MSA Rear Sway Bar pics/advice please
Actually, if he has an early car there is no mount points for a rear sway bar. I was in the same boat. I purchased a MSA kit and it was installed on my car over the weekend. Let me get a few picts for you. -- Mike

Making Mp3 **** for car stereo
I don't recommend using MP3's for DJ work. The bandwidth is too low and I can tell a big difference between CD's (1.2Mbps) and a MP3 (128k-192k usually). MP3's are fine for portable players and car stereo's, but, when you want to hear some high-quality music, nothing beats a true CD. That said, I believe the format of the directory structure does matter on some players. I would consult your user manual for the player you're working with. I know that I copied a bunch of MP3's to a CD and put them in my stock deck and it didn't work. The stock deck does have a "MP3" logo on the front, so, I know it supports them. Please post if you find something on this. I would like to know as well. -- Mike

Cool Z pic
Yea, I agree. The one showing the drivers side window is a pretty nice angle. I'll look at putting that up over the weekend.

Hi Steve, I got those from a dealer about 8 years ago. You might be able to find them now. I'm sure they won't be cheap. Check around at the various dealers. A bit of advice, take the part number to the dealer when you go in. They usually don't have a lot of time to mess around looking for parts on the microfiche. SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT: You might want to pick up a copy of our microfiche CD to get the part numbers you need for your car. :nervous: Anyway, I bought the new stock ones because I didn't want to deal with my old grimey lines. I also didn't want to bend new aftermarket pipe. So, I spent the cash.
