Nice ride ! I would put air filters on there.. there's Always the chance of little dirt going into the cylinders and let it wear out quicker.

I will be having an extra spare rebuild E31 for sale, within a month or so. It's currently at the shop being rebuild, it's almost done. If any club members here are interested, give me a reasonable offer. It's getting hard to find these..

Okay. Here's a picture of today. The 240Z is back, standing next to his big brother . 2 Icons of 70's USA... Did some work yesterday cleaning up the engine bay and interior, cause it was al dirty from standing all that time in the paint shop. Only problem I know have is that the voltage regulator is shot ( I think the accident last time, that caused the damage gave it a final blow. It was reading 17.2 Volts at idle, so shut it down before frying the wiring.. ), ordered one, and it is on the way from Japan...

RIP John Coffey ! You never know when you'r gonna go.. but 56 is to quick ! I hope he's with Mr.K out there..

It's not that bad looking at the pictures. I would clean up the feed and return lines, and have them re-soldered. ( would not cost much ) The inside I would put alot of nuts and bolts in there together with some cleaning vinegar. Shake it for a while, leave it a day, then shake again, then drain the tank and see how it looks. If it's clean use por15 fuel tank coating ( 3 steps ). The first time I would fill it up with gas, and slush it around for a while, and then drain it again, then put new gas again, when it's under the car, Put a new fuel filter and you are ready to go. - Soldering = cheap - Cleaning vinegar and nuts and bolts = cheap - Por 15 fuel tank coating .. $ ? Another option would be sandblasting the outside ( cheap option.. drill and wire wheel ) of the fuel tank, then have it soldered, and then repaint it. Steps for the inside the same.

The inners he used them from another brand and modified them to fit, to look like the original, at least that's what I was told by him. Outers came from a shop in the US.

Yeah, it looks really good.. Subaru blue if i am correct, don't know the exact paint code, would have to ask the shop

Almost done.. paint shop says Friday... Finally the old girl ready again

I ment a moderate pressure washer, like the ones @ the carwash, not a 120 bar pressure washer ( That's what they do also before your car goes into an automatic car wash... ) I agree the microfiber mits are better offcourse...

Nice. I use the pressure washer first, before using soap and a sponge, because if you just rinse it and use the sponge, the dirt/sand is still on there, and you are making scratches... just saying

1 month passed.. lots of work done on the 240Z. It's almost ready for paint.. maybe 1 or 2 more weeks. I guess it's ready again in end of April.

Go to a garage and have the CO measured this can give you an idea.

Get a multimeter and start measuring ! Turn on the turn signals and measure if you have a 12v pulse going to the turn signals. Put Multimeter on 12 DC So: Put left turn signal on, and start measuring on the connectors of the front and rear left light bulb. You should measure at least a max peak of 9 volts. If not, go measure voltage @ the flasher relay. This way you can trace the problem.

Those asian tuners have kind off an odd taste. But that's okay if they like it.. , I certainly not.

Nobody wearing a space suit ? !

Heck.. I just sold used side makers for 60 bucks.. you can buy them new for cheaper

Boat clear coat.. brushed it on, the finish is really smooth and briliant shine. And it's a thick layer, I tried spray laquer before, but the result with this stuff is a much better shine

Yeah I had to re-tighten mines also, they came loose. Have urethane..

Aha okay ! The Datsun is getting ready for paint '' again '' soon.. pics will follow !

I had the same problem with the panels in my Mustang. Simply de-grease them, sand it with 500, then de-grease again and directly paint it with motip black matte, a few layers ( for wear ) http://www.motip.com/products/motip/automotive/universal-lacquers/lacquer-black/ Comes out like Original.

What's Kar Kraft ?

On my birthday yesterday I got a little toy mustang, and made this cool photo !
