  1. Ditto! Always love engine bay pics. It's a beautiful car.

    Thank God! ....I'm like...WHAT?!.....So glad you're kidding
  4. Me too!
  5. Wow, that is a sweet looking original Z. You can even see the dash lights clearly! I like!

    Looking good Jai! Can't wait to see photos of her all done.

    That's a great price for everything Jai! Now the repairs can begin.
  8. Yes I do but again, I think you are smelling exhaust instead of fuel. If you're running a little rich, it's probably mixed in your exhaust and you might smell that as well. You can get a smoke machine and look for cabin leaks and I bet you'll find them in the areas noted above.
  9. I started with the hatch seal--it was shot. Then discovered my tail light assembly gaskets were leaking a little. Once I did those all was good and is still good after 14 years.
  10. And I've experienced those areas to leak exhaust in my Z
  11. It's an impressive number for sure.
  12. Wow, and that's with su's instead of flat tops! So not an original car.
  13. I've not had a fuel smell burn my eyes but have had strong exhaust burn my eyes. Are you sure it's fuel and not exhaust? Just asking. If it does turn out to be exhaust, check your rear hatch seal.

    I would set the one I'm presently using for emissions testing, should have been more clear on that. So I'm looking for a "good" one to run in my Z daily. Especially because the one's ZedHead has, has the backfire valve. That is original.

    ZedHead, I'll buy one of those AFM"s for my 77. I would like to set one up for passing emissions and only using it for emissions testing for my Z. You can PM me with amount you want for it. I'm thinking the one for the 78 will work for me if it does have the fuel pump contacts in it like you say.
  18. The noise alone should have pinpointed it, but then again we weren't there to witness it. There should have been clues that the plug was backing out though. Like hissing as it backed out. Which brings another question, how did the plug back out with the plug wire attached?

    Pretty much sums it up. And I don't have the storage space for another one.

    That's a beauty for sure. That is how mine used to look, exactly like that! Wish I could turn the clock back. Wouldn't have done what I did to mine.

    That's the one that is supposed to be on her car IIRC. If the rear one has the rounded corners then she may want the one from ebay so it matches the rear.

    (310) 308-8455. You might want to give this info to the body shop right away. From what I can see it's in pretty good shape. Like said above, It's going to be really hard to find the bumper pieces. You might want to search this site for people that have recently switched their bumpers for the 240 style. Maybe they still have the original bumper parts. That really sucks Jai. I wish you luck on getting Redwing fixed.

    Yes please, details on the coilovers. Wonder how old those outer tierods are. No grease zerks. The boots look deflated too. Just an observation. Wonder how long the PO drove it that way.
  24. Any chance the coil is over heating? What are you running?
  25. rcb280z replied to wheee!'s post in a topic in Build Threads
    Damn, I can't wait to see this one done. It's going to be a beaut!
