FYI there are 88mm VW pistons that work well for an L28 Overbore with offset crank grind... melds your Beetle and your Z ?

I bought two ATI's that did not fit. I would not touch them. Quality is not good. Jeff Priddy, a Datsun super user, has done long term empirical development of an L series turbo for very high and reliable HP. He worked closely with BHJ to develop an exclusive damper for his needs. They now sell it: http://harmonicdampers.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=74_10 http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/58936-standard-bhj-vs-rebello-bhj-damper/ Jeff's work is worth looking up on the net. : http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt/

Pulled Factory AC system from an early 77. Tweaked my buddy's 260z round tops. Also found the oil pressure sensor to be leaking and replaced @grannyknot pulled the full unmolested intake with all of the top side stuff from the 77 280z. Car came from Arizona.

I just removed the same hard coating from my 77's floors. A blunt big screw driver and a hammer. Hit at shallow angles and the coating will come off in chunks.

Thanks Chuck! Looks like blue will be down and out for much longer.

My old toyota tercel wagon (breaking bad) had the water valve in the engine compartment. I learned to lubricate it if I wanted heat.

Engine gets normal air from a small passage in the Throttle Body that bypasses the Throttle Plate. A small needle screw controls this amount of idle air. The AAR just gives extra air when it is cold to give a faster idle. Circa 2003: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/aar/index.html Additional heating of AAR with water helps ensure it does not open when doing short stop and go's on cool to cold days. AAR is only needed when the engine is cold; so water temp is a good indicator,

FPR (Made in Italy) arrived from Redline Fuel Management along with 280z rad hoses and rad cap. Picked up some big glass bottles with sealing lids to conduct wintergreen experiments. (Rock hard fuel filler neck with be experiment #1). Not much time with the 280z. Moved it to make way for maintenance work on Ridgeline, Insight and S2000. Cleaned up the garage and pulled Gnose, rear spoiler, metal patch panels, and 280z HVAC stuff. Boxed some stuff to ship to good friends.

I am about to do some body panel work so it is appreciated!

How do you know? I can't see his legs?

I'm sending Blue's intake with the block-off completed. It has a plug in the bottom and a plate on the top.

Take valve cover off then measure the long axis and short axis. Multiply it by 1.5 to get approximate valve lift.

I had to remove an oil pump in the same fashion. Neil Young is a Canadian Car Owner

Got blue backed up on ramps. Rear underside side looks great (Suspension, tank, etc).
