I agree, Ztherapy is a great model for small business owners. They've got it right. Can't wait to see the new paint. What code number is yours? Will you paint the spoilers with the radar paint? SMILEY

I'm 6 feet tall and I absolutely have to put mine on ramps or jack stands to do anything besides pull the dipstick.

If there's no oil stains on the floor, that motor is burning it. Could be the rings or the valve seals. Get a loaner compression gauge from your local auto parts and do a compression test. I've read if you don't use the "condom" on the valve stems when installing the seals it causes damage, maybe a slight tear. I've never installed them myself so I'm just repeating what I've read.

I had a 1984 944. Loved it too, had an Audi 4 cylinder but was very quick. Great braking, seats were low like the Z's. Drove under my buddies Camaro leaving a parking lot. $2,000 to fix the headlights and paint the front. The lights were the kind that roll over and up, connected together with a bar. A few months later a guy turned in front of me and I couldn't stop in time. T boned his van. Went to court over fault, he was in his 70s going to the mall to walk at 7am. I was 21 and supposed to be at work at 7am so I ended up eating that one, paid $5,500 for it with a cracked windshield. Paid $800 for the new glass then $2,000 for the rear ending accident. Over 8 grand I spent and drove it for a little over a year. Great car though! Traded the totaled 944 for a ZX straight up. 8 years later I bought a 911SC, that was a mechanics car for sure. Took me half a day to change 6 spark plugs and held 13 quarts of high dollar Kendall oil. I'll stick with these Zs until minimum wage goes up.

Kinda biased but I LOVE IT!!! It'll make an early impression on some other kids too.

The oil pressure sending unit by the passenger's side motor mount, to the right of the oil filter, could be bad. Clogged up or maybe just a loose wire connection. They are cheap too. Unplug the wire and clean the brass on the unit, then squeeze the wire connector so it will fit nice and tight. That's what I would do first.

They have the events listed now. http://zccazconvention.com/conventions/2015/?page_id=12

Possibly, we can talk then you decide. I'll send you a PM when I get back home. Captain Obvious I apologize for the misspelling of your surname. I must have posted with my phone and I use autocomplete as much as I can, sometimes the glare causes me to make mistakes.

With a good fuel delivery system I don't know of a bad S30 (240 thru 280s, '70 to '78). My opinion. '73 and '74s had some emission carbs that are frowned upon by most folks, but they can easily be replaced with the earlier carbs. '75 was the 1st year for EFI so by '77 & '78 they got the bugs worked out. You want carburetors or fuel injection? The bodies are the same just some interior differences and the bumpers were upgraded per DOT laws. My favorite is the simple '72.

http://xenonzcar.com/ They have the Nissan Fast parts look-up. You have to download 2 installation disk though.

$57 get's you in four different museums. The cheapest Graceland tour is $36, the other places are around $12 each, about $72 separately. If I read it right, there's shuttles between the different locations. I knew I should have taken more time off work to see the sights. Maybe a return visit in the Fall with a sweet companion? http://staxmuseum.com/museum/ Memphis Music Pilgrimage Take the Memphis music pilgrimage from Beale Street to the birthplace of rock’n’roll to the King’s house and the hallowed halls of soul music.

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?
