using Electric SuperCharger - claimed 4%-6% Gain
At full throttle how much air is the engine pulling, and just how much air do you think that fan will push? (Piston head Area X Stroke X Rpm X 6 pistons) 1-4psi is probably measured at no air flow from the engine-meaning it is actually a restriction in the airpath at anything over idle. It would not suprise me if the benefit is far more due to the vortex effect brought about by the intake passing over the blades than the "pressure" generated by the fan. Check out SpiralMax, you would probably get more benefit for about $70 Let us know what you find. Will

Electrical problem...I think
You Pick it, Wife is working 9-6, I am free for the whole day-was going to run upto the farm, but not with the rain. Loading and unloading a car in the wet is no fun! There is alway the weekend. I can go pick up the '73 pretty much whenever. Will

OT: Honey Bee to be hacked on Monster Garage
Michael, "a bludger using tools on a filmed bucks night to come a guster with a car and london to a brick mean to make a bingle, and then think it is sick!" Roughly translated: A tool wielding goofball who takes handouts(donations) on a taped testosterone fest of screwing up a car, to make the car absolutely into a hellacious mess, and think he had really done something to be proud of! Think about all of that tallent and energy that these guys pour into nothing but fluff! Will

Electrical problem...I think
We are at 2cm, Baby is baking exactly as planned, that gives me some more time to get my hands dirty! Dr. said the plan is to induce if Henry Leyland Stokes is not out by O-dark-thirty on the 29th. If you haven't corrected your problem let me know, and we can get that going and install the headlight harness onthe '73. Have Deoxit, will travel. Ok, that isn't going to be his name, but I slept in a Hiliday Inn Express last night. Too much wife sitting(she took off work today), not enough oily grit under my fingernails. I must be going into shock. Will

What are you paying for gas?
We have RON 87, 91, and 93 here in Ga. 87 goes for 1.82, and 93 goes for 1.98 at last fillup. Will

wipers & heater fan - anything in common?
Get some Deoxit, and clean all of the contacts in the the fuse box. ALso check them for tension on the fuses. Will

Lookin for front strut tower brace
Stay away from the electronic lotus flower, and the phosphorescent soma-work on the Z, as long as you use proper safety equipment and procedures, you are guaranteed to grow brain cells even if the parts you make don't work out! Will

Turbo Conversion .. '78 280Z.. N47 stock block and head.... building a list
I would add, P90 or P90A head, Oil Cooler and adaptor, Wastegate, Turbo Oil Pump(Get the JY turbo engine and pull the parts off it-no scrounging, 1 stop shopping.) You will also need a better radiator-the narrow Camero Aluminum radiator-952 if memory serves. I bought mine from Penn Radiator off the internet, $63 with shipping several years ago. Keep the pistons from the turbo-spec them out and have them ready when you turn up the boost too much, or don't have enough fuel, or you timing is too advanced. You might also upgrade the alternator with the one from a turbo engine, and the starter with one of the gear reduction units from the ZX. One note, when looking for a turbo engine, look for an auto tranny car, the engine stands a much better chance of being in good shape. Will P.S. Which parts have you got?

Kudo's to ZTherapy
We had to give you something for Steve and Terry Irwin! I think we got the better end of the deal though! I have been watching the Suspension video from ZTherapy instead of all of the reruns of Monster Garage. The video is very informative, and a great buy! Will

If you move the whole thing (by end)it will work, but the suspension parts are not individually swappable. Will

Sorry, didn't mean to introduce you to a bludger using tools on a filmed bucks night to come a guster with a car and london to a brick mean to make a bingle, and then think it is sick! Oh well, to each his own-just don't let them think to try to cut up a Z! Will

Door Handle
Turn the plastic piece that fits into the circly thing(push the circly thig down, put the part in it, and snap the short part of the "L"(looks like a bullet connector into the white plastic piece that is stuck into the door handle! If my attempt to use your words didn't work, or you are missing some plastic pieces you don't know about, I will try to find a scan of the door mechanism to post. Will

Monster Garage: A TV show that Must 1)Find some piece of complete and useable and or easily restorable vehicle, 2)Hack it to pieces 3)Break all glass, all plastic, cut all sheet metal-destroying all useable parts that will not be "modified". 4)Use only the smallest portion of the original vehicle(a 2 foot section of military Jeep frame on the now running show is all that was used from a complete and running vehicle). 5)Give the entire project a small budget put to keep it doable by "anybody". 6)Complete the project only with the use of obscenely expensive sponsor-donated stuff to make sure no "anybody" can do it. 7)Pat the "Builders" on the back for destroying a restorable vehicle that someone was desperately hunting for to put back to its glory days 8)After the "build" is complete and run, blow the crap out of it with major explosives or a suitable substitute to be sure that even the smallest part of it is unuseable. Did I mention the "Budget"? Sort of like a demolition Derby but with tools and explosives. Will

"Discounting heat, any other ideas?" You didn't happen to move the cartridges with the springs. did you... You gotta quit using recycled cartridges! I usually get about 7 years out of a set of cartridges-depending on tire inflation(higher pressure-shorter cartridge life), and side wall height (shorter sidewalls, more work for the shock). Will

headlight relay upgrade harness's for sale
It may be a while, the '72 (the car I bought it for) is on a rotisserie; but, My previous '73 is still in town, and its new owner has been after me to take it out for the weekend, tune it up, and blow the carbon out of it (that REALLY breaks my heart!). I will put the harness on it over the weekend, and take some before and after VOM tests and pictures (maybe a video) to post! If the difference is a big as I expect, I will let him buy that harness, and get another from you! Will

I'll get some pictures of the differeent struts tomorrow and post them to make the differences more clear. Will

Have you put some oil or Transmission fluid in the tube with the shock-heat kills them, and the oil allows the heat to permeate the strut housing and dissapate, with only air in the tube, you have an insulating rather than a dissapating situation. Will

I have a recently removed set of struts from a mfr date 6/77 280Z just sitting in my garage, wanna trade for his? I need another set of 72 pieces. PM me if you are interested. If your buddy wants more proof of the folly of his ways, I would be happy to post a photo of a set of '72 struts next to a set from the '78 so he can figure out his info is wrong and his anger misplaced.

Jatco trans mods possible?

Electrical problem...I think
It sounds like you are on the right path. If it is only affecting primary ignition and the fuel pump, that really only calls for one circuit. A worsening connection somewhere early in the power grid would explain most of it. The Dizzy is the distribiutor. If you want a hand, and the Baby doesn't come tomorrow, give a call. Will

I received my harness today-if I were to build one, this would be it. Dave has everything done right, dielectric grease to seal the plugs, soldered connections, shrink wrap, convoluted tubing, high quality wire, clear and illustrated instructions! This is another member piece as well done as MikeWs glove box! Dave, Thanks for a great addition to my 240Z! Will
