I'd love to help, but I may do more harm than good. Zed Head & Captain Oblivious would be good, IMO. I'm just messin' with them! They're too busy helping us, thank goodness.

That's too funny! I do some goofy stuff late in the day myself, but it's usually the beer I've been drinking all day. I just received a quart of Eastwood's chassis black satin and will be watching for your results. Thanks for posting the pictures.

I'm thinking that I spent about $50 making mine. Two feet of the aluminum stock from Ross that Zed linked above, two taps and the brass nipples. You'd definitely need a drill press and check for levelness between each hole you drill. I didn't and one of my injector bungs is a little crooked but after hooking everything up, you can't tell. I sprayed it with high heat clear after a light sandblasting. Turns out it was easier than I thought.

Did the '79 ZX have the fan for the injectors?

Bob and Doug McKenzie, SCTV! I had forgotten about those Hosers.

My mother has seen them too. She insist that I go while I'm there, I guess they let anybody in? Maybe I'll bring a few from the river here and let them loose inside the Hilton?

I bought one from a guy that wanted $5,000 but it wasn't running so I couldn't drive it. He said it was something simple that was keeping it from running. I told him when he fixed that simple thing to call me, I wanted the car. He wouldn't let me leave. After a few back and forths I got it for $2,000. The tank was full of crud and the points distributor was all hacked up so I put in a ZX electronic distributor. New tires, sitting causes flat spots, reworked the brakes and washed it at least 10 times. If you can't drive it be careful, people tend to lie or just forget about problems with a car that's been sitting. Here it is after a lot of elbow grease and the help of the good folks on this forum.

Script flip! Take some more pictures of your motor, top drivers side would be nice, add them to your gallery. We can copy & paste from there. Pictures are priceless to us helping you, It's like a game of chess, figuring out problems. I'm not too good, tic tac doe is my game.

I bet you do!!!

It's a Diseazd they don't have a vaccination for.

Hey there Jai. I was hoping we lived a little closer than we do, 4 hours of driving is quite a bit of time for me for something that possibly won't help. If your tank is crudded up and needs to be removed and cleaned, that's what I'm guessing, you're looking at multiple trips too. I can't get away with that. My mother would not forgive me for a loooong time. She needs stuff done too but I'm constantly reminding her I'm not an only child but she says I'm the only one that has sense enough to get things done. Maybe Steve's guy is closer? Or someone in Chattanooga? Could you ask the previous owner who worked on it in the past?

What a great memory I'd forgotten! My two cousins and myself used my grandparents Rook Cards one day and got into big trouble. They were some Rook playing partiers on Saturday nights, smoking Pall Malls and drinking Schlitz.

Are you driving down or using your Frequent Flyer Miles? You've probably got enough for the flight from Memphis Intl to Millington for the whole group, we could get a FedEx cargo MD11 and put some Zs in there. You could "test drive" one of these 5 each day. http://www.jimkerasnissan.com/all-inventory/index.htm?search=370z&saveFacetState=true&compositeType=&year=&make=&bodyStyle=&odometer=&internetPrice=&searchLinkText=SEARCH&listingConfigId=AUTO-new%2CAUTO-used&showSelections=true&dependencies=model%3Amake%2Ccity%3Aprovince%2Ccity%3Astate&showInvTotals=false&facetbrowseGridUnit=BLANK&facetbrowse=true&suppressAllConditions=compliant&showSubmit=true&showReset=false&showRadius=false&lastFacetInteracted=

What uses jetports? For $100 Alex. Or who

Your flying into Memphis International with all the other Super Stars, right? You may sit with Boris Said or Steve as you say. I read a little on Millington Jetport, they do autocrosses there so a car show seems inline with that. The Memphis Raceway is having an all day "drift show" Saturday, more $$$ for them I suppose.

This is nuts. "Then there's the new BMW M5, a 560-horsepower sports sedan. As you might expect, it literally screams "high performance" when you stand on the throttle -- except what you're hearing isn't the twin-turbo V-8. It's actually a digital recreation of what the engine should sound like, piped through the M5's sound system."

From Hilton Memphis website, COMPLIMENTARY AIRPORT SHUTTLE Hilton Memphis offers a complimentary shuttle to and from Memphis International Airport, just 10 miles away. The shuttle is a white 15-passenger van with a blue cityscape and ‘Hilton Memphis’ on the side. Please contact the hotel upon landing to schedule your pick-up, and see our Front Desk for a list of departure times to the airport. Looks like the Hilton is right off the 240 beltway, appropriately named after our cars. Old Downtown is on the other side. Sun Studios is close by too, I'm getting just as excited about the sites to see as the cars. This is going to be fun!

The two threads are my fault. Mike hasn't seen my request to merge them, I guess. I agree with Zed Head, don't let your well meaning buddies fix the simple stuff, it does more harm than good in my experiences. Take off the valve cover and take some pictures, other thread , remove the plugs and take a picture of those as well. But like Fastwoman says pulling the dipstick is the easiest thing to do at this point.

Pictures are worth a thousand Zs. You see how a good picture gets results! Obviously you have a good camera, that's great, a lot can be observed from far away. When you are ready to post some go to MORE REPLY OPTIONS bottom right side of a reply Then CHOOSE FILE, you'll have to find the pic on your computer Then ATTACH THIS FILE, it'll take a second and show up at the bottom of the text box Then just click ADD TO POST, it's in blue Then hit ADD REPLY, or REVIEW POST

Good eyes/catch Steve, I didn't even notice that. It's Jai's picture from her gallery.

Looking at that plug wire boot, I'd guess it was leaking from that heater hose too. Nice and dry now. You could, most likely, use a new set of plugs. Have you taken one out yet? Maybe wire brush the ones you have. I think I see "BP", the right ones for our cars are BP6ES, gapped somewhere around .035.

How would I find a Baby Ruth in a pond???

Ouch! Yeah, very fun road. I'm on it now with my E31. Maybe you can find a deal on a cylinder head that's ready to bolt on. I found a fresh N42 at a machine shop. They had reworked it for a guy and he never came back so I got it for their cost, $250. I had to ask the folks on here if that was an okay deal, I had an N47 originally. Some of the replies were funny, "terrible head, boat anchor, better to melt down the aluminium and scrap it, BUT I'll take it off your hands and save you the headache".

Chevy Chase? Na na na na na.....na na na na na. Be the ball. Ha! I'm using my brain 1st then google, got it right too. I'm a real life Carl, according to my neighbors. You see, I live in a garage apartment with carpeted stairs. I'm not too particular about the carpet and I have a dog so I use my backpack blower and start at the top and blow it down and out the back door. My neighbors thought I started inside my apartment.
