What's the longest trip you've made in your Z?
I suppose. I drove a 74 b210 from denver to indiana and back with the same amount of miles. On the way back from st. louis to the middle of the kansas turnpkie on I-70 was white out conditions. Not to mention the semi's blasting right past me. It was good experience for a 16 yr old.

HIGH PLAINS RACEWAY, CO updates
A new amateur road course for colorado is getting close. The county planning board must have approved the zoning change to allow amateur motorsports. Now the commissioners will put their rubber stamp to allow the change. Once that happens the fund raising campaign will begin. News release from Colorado Amateur Motorsports Associates. http://www.coloradoscca.org/HighPlains_PressRelease.pdf

One person brake bleeding
There are 2 types of speed/solo bleeders. speed bleeders-- http://www.classicperform.com/speed-bleeder/speed-bleeder.htm earls solo-bleed-- http://www.mpsracing.com/products/Earls/Solo-Bleed.asp I prefer the solo-bleed. I'm sure there's pluses and minuses for either one.

One person brake bleeding
I used a jar with a plastic lid. Use a bench or a stool so you can keep an eye on the hose for any bubbles. I use the mity vac to siphon all the old fluid out of the reservoirs.

Nicer T auto box lever???
I used a '88 maxima auto handle on mine, of course I have the 4 spd auto in my 280zxt. Cut to length then drill and tap for the new mounting screws. But since you're going to be going with a 5 spd you may as well suffer with the one you already have. JMO

Help w/Installing new ignition switch...
If you don't have a dremel type tool, put the phillips head screws back in and tighten. This will relieve the pressure on the headless screws. With a pair of wire cutters(diagonal cutters, dikes) cut into the soft headless screw enough to get a bite on them and start turning them out. The screws are soft so the wire cutters will easily gouge the head. With the headless screws out, then you can take the phillips screws out.

S30 Auto Shift handle - Interchanges?
Here is one I put in my zxt after I swapped in a 4 spd auto. The shifter knob came out of an '88 maxima. It required shortening and drilling for the new mounting screws. I suppose since you don't have a 4 spd auto you could use the OD button for a nawwss set up. ;-) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c301/dlh2460/280zxt/ftm005.jpg
