5 Pin Din Radio Jack
anyone done the aux in mod to their later model clarion/hitachi radio? this radio is from a 78 i was thinking of using the stereo signal switch on the front of the radio as my radio power switch to toggle between aux and radio. i wonder if that switch can handle the load and or possible arching?

240 Rear Bumper From Futofab On '78 280
That looks damn good. Personally I don't like 280's without bumpers they look unfinished to me. These give your car the classy factory finished look. You know what would make that back end even better looking is a 1 piece bre style spoiler.

Inside The Guts Of A Rally Clock
errr... i meant insides of a rally clock oscillator. Anyways....ran across this page in japan. this guy is an electronics guru that fixed an oscillator. I had never seen the insides of one before but there sure are alot of things that can go wrong. No wonder they use so much juice. with no schematics to work with he succeeded in finding what was wrong. a burned out transistor. http://blog.goo.ne.jp/vrc-tezuka/e/250f389a49a12a856565a0c7e324e2f0 and another page where a guy took a 9$ clock and put it inside his calendar clock https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fminkara.carview.co.jp%2Fen%2Fuserid%2F1773801%2Fblog%2F33293852%2F&edit-text=&act=url

Front Frame Pulling/spreading/holding (Cool Trick)
Interesting way to fold the tops of the rails back into position. You would think it would just smash in the rail but once you remove the radiator support, the rails are very flexible. Very simple fabricated radiator support he made. Probably stronger than the swiss cheese factory one. That looks like a rust free fairlady. Over there they're worth lots more so expensive frame machine time is worth it.

Vin 2041
This 240 is a better deal than that beverly hillbilly's one. Look at the attention to detail on this one. It looks like one of those factory restored ones from the 90's. BUT... check out the funky clamps on the a/c dryer.

Long Range Electric Car Batteries
the aluminum air batteries need to be changed yearly according to the article. that could get expensive. notice it gives no approximate replacement cost. i love the idea using 2 types of batteries. one a workhorse and the other reserve.

Jdm L28 With Single Hitachi Carb?
That doesn't look stock. He calls the original flat top su's `euro dual carbs` He's got a lot of inaccurate things in that listing.

Jdm L28 With Single Hitachi Carb?
ok, slap myself for using the wrong search words. This has been covered before. They came in the gloria. That intake manifold looks like a clifford research 4 barrel manifold.

Jdm L28 With Single Hitachi Carb?
I have never seen this configuration on an L6 before. Must have been a real slug engine offered in the lower end cars. Hard to believe they're still floating around out there. Must have been sitting in the back of some warehouse covered in an inch of dust.

Calendar Clock Knob Missing
I just recently bought a 1 knob calendar clock but the little plastic knob is missing. I've been searching the net and cannot find anything on people replacing their lost knobs. In my search for a missing knob I may have found a replacement. The 280zx quartz clock has a very similar knob. I haven't yet tried to fit the knob yet. It does look promising from the pictures. Keeping my fingers crossed

Lets See The Concensus On This S30
whoa pick another font on your ebay ad. Thats like reading old dot matrix. That car is a desert cruiser. Tinted glass and a/c. Nitrous for those long straight stretches. I think the blow thru turbo setup would be tempermental in a colder climate. Rather have efi myself.

Rocker Geometry Woes
Is it possible that he put in different size valves? I've read where 81-83 valves are .080 shorter. Nah.. on second thought he probably used what was already in the head, even if it did need to be replaced. Somebody has a new apprentice?
