Have you currently got snow like that?

2010 BMW 535XiT M sport trim AWD. I haven't tuned it yet. I can add almost 100hp without much effort. It's new to me just recently. It's my errands car when I'm not driving my work truck

I have used an epoxy product from Caswell to coat a tank. It's very thick and would deal with pinholes pretty well. I suspect that tank will have quite a few pinholes once it's properly cleaned. It might be hard to do in an apartment setting...

So is this coming from the US or from Canada? Where did you find the black Friday deal? I could see doing this. Ive done 4 alignments in the last twp months. That would have paid for most of it. And at market rates I would be money ahead...

Cap the booster line for now. The booster is probably ruined from the fluid. It'll need a rebuild. Pretty common problem...

I recall somebody found a person to rebuild heater valves. Does anyone recall who that rebuilder was? 510 valves are costly

I had similar issues trying to buy parts out of Europe. Specifically Latvia. I needed some BMW fuel injectors and there seem to be a number of NOS BMW parts in Latvia. They couldn't tell me what the final costs would be because of the ever changing tariff situation. In the end I had to source them somewhere else. I am hoping that at some point these issues will get resolved, so business can know the rules and get back to work...

@cgsheen1 I was going to post in another thread but didn't want to thread jack, I'm hopeful to make it to Zcon in your area next year and check out your cars

The difference is modern bumpers are TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) and a urethane bumper is different. I routinely plastic weld TPO bumpers for my cars I repair but Urethane bumpers can't be plastic welded. At least not in the traditional meaning. TPO is also stiff and takes paint better because it's more solid and less rubber like than urethane. Some TPO bumpers for 240z's would be very interesting

The painter who painted the loose panels for Lily uses Bulldog adhesion promoter. I will talk to the paint shop too. To try to check all the boxes

Hopefully not too many surprises

The airdam is urethane. It can be tough to get paint to stick to it because it's so flexible.

Yes, the plan is to paint the airdam too. Hopefully it will stick...

I had her up on jack stands and stood about a 12" piece of 6x6 up on the jack and lifted her up. But the block and jack wanted to slide out once she was up high enough. I had to hold the jack in place while someone put the cubes under the tires

I dont believe the 510 has a rheostat

He didn't have license plates lights. He found that one. It was an unconnected ground up by the hatch torsion bars. His reverse lights have him stumped. One works; the other doesn't. It shows voltage and continuity but won't light up. He added LED's in the gauge pod but they flash slowly and we don't know why... I told him to text you... He hasn't yet

Last weekend we worked in the shop some Here is a seam in the leather fender covers. I made this with contact adhesive and clamps. I picked the padding out in the seam area so it was just leather to leather. We took Lily down off the cubes. A lot less sketchy than the way I put her up there. Still had to have a 6x6 on the jack saddle at this point Rolled her outside and it promptly rained... My windshield leaks and I will add some sealant under the weatherstripping soon. I also ordered tool covers for behind the seats from Zcardepot. They don't have the hinges. So they may not work for me... Since I don't have the old covers

Cody continues to make progress on his car. Thanks to SteveJ for helping us sort the engine bay harness @SteveJ He has the harness in and has started sorting out the electrical issues. There are quite a few We think we have a solution for the throttle control. It's loosely based on Ken Firch's cable system. His bracket won't work but we are working on making a heat shiel that will also hold a throttle cable and hooks for the throttle return screws. It will mount to the two lower studs on the SU's. The smaller SU's only have two studs and they are set diagonally. We are planning on using the the mounts at the balance tube to add a different 10mm OD tube with a donor part from a 240z. Which will supply a ball end for the cable to connect to I worked on a template for the heat shield today. I don't have a good way to brake the sheet metal so we will need to sort that out. We are leaning towards using 1mm stainless sheet...

Twin cam cross flow does sound fun though!

If you can get down to the tumbler cylinder, it should have a key code on it and you could order a key or a good locksmith could cut you a key if he has a proper blank.

Distributor I'm running Cody thinks the car starts on all six and then starts misfiring. An exhaust obstruction might do that... eBayNew L6 Electronic Distributor Replace For 1970-1983 Datsu...1970-1983 Nissan Datsun 240z 260z 280z. Product Type: Electronic Distributor. 1 x Electronic Distributor as Picture. (The Compatibility Is Just For Reference. -Will dramatically improve the sporty app

More info: Pulled the float bowl lids, fuel was within 0.10" of the same level in both bowls. Pulled the front carb. No obstructions as far as I could see with my ancient borescope. Clear into the head but couldn't see the valve stem. Took the valve cover off and all valve actuate as they should appear to have the proper lift and return. No wiped out lobes Reassembled it all and tried it again. #1 & #2 are both dead. #4-#6 are over 100dF within 15 seconds. The front two are 80dF. Rev it up and hold it for a short while and no change... Next weekend the exhaust will come off and we will look for FOD... Hopefully I can get it apart. The exhaust paste I used is pretty tenacious and I haven't found anything that will dissolve it yet

Plugs are new numbered Nissan. Don't suspect them... Distributor is new electronic from Ebay. No resistor. The cap doesn't locate very positively. So being made in China makes it a suspect...

Correct firing order? 1-5-3-6-2-4 CCW?

Do they have good grounds? Have you tried to bench test them?
