That would be fun! I use to live in Houston for years and my sister owns a winery in Moravia which is near Schulenburg. You should check them out Majek vineyard and winery . When is Zconn?

To discuss, share ideas and talk about cars in person. I am in the Jackson area.

agree Heyit! No idea the last time it was done. i have not done one before but plan to do it Sunday.

I have a 78 280z with 115k miles....it has not been driven much in 20 years. My son bought it 4 months ago. The oil had been changed when he bought it and we have now changed it 2 more times to make sure it cleans itself. A professional did a compression check that showed 150 in each cylinder. The pro also said we might have a ring leak after blowing compressed air into #1 cylinder. All this led me to add Lucas oil stabilizer in with the last oil change yesterday. After driving it 20 miles there was a distinct valve clatter louder and different that what had been usual before this oil change. It sounds great cold but after warming up the heavier clatter starts. Cause and effect is something I pay attention to. I am considering giving it a few days of light driving to settle down. I am also considering draining it all back out and putting clean oil and a new filter back in. Also I put a wix filter on this oil change when all previous I used a Fram. Any thoughts? Thanks

Thanks for the dialogue so far. Any thoughts on differential fluid? The Redline shock series seems interesting on the heavier end. I am wondering if the heavy will quiet things ... which is my goal.... or if it is too heavy for what will be a street car.

I have read that it can quite things down a bit. My son picked up a 1978 280Z with about 115k miles. Hardly driven at all the past 20 years....A little rust but manageable. He and I are working on it together. Did a search and did not see this product discussed. Planning to put Redline MT 90 in the transmission, but looking for recommendations...and one of the Redline Shockproofs in the differential, but would consider other options. Things work ok but am trying to quiet things down a bit (gear noise)....Noise travels I know and replacing rear bushings (Mustache is done) and bearings are next. And I have the FSM by the way... Thanks in advance.
