  1. The quarter window louvers mount one of two ways-emblem tape, or install into the glass seal. The rear louvers should have a set of deadbolt slide locks that either mount with sheet metal screws to the hatch lid, or if they are a later version, to a fitted piece of black anodized aluminum sheet that tucks under the lower window seal in the two lower corners. I have a set of the deadbolts, that I will hunt and post a picture of for you. Have a look at the lower corners of the hatch louvers, there should be one 1/4" hole on each side. Will
  2. I have a couple more, pm me, and I'll send one out. Will

    If the Z is EFI and the fuel pump is from a 79-83 zx you won't have any issues. If the Z is carb'd-don't waste the energy trying-way too much pressure and flow. Will
  5. I understand...I don't plan on camping out this time either! Will
  6. Arne, Are you telling me that yours is the only Z that doesn't make quick work of a long trip? It is a wee bit out of the normal ZPS route! Will
  7. What's your reason? Will
  8. Most of the hotels close by are booked solid, and have been for months, the best bet is to stay in Jacksonville and drive up. If I get a head count, I will see about the possibility of securing a block of rooms somewhere. Will
  9. Ok Guys, The website for this years Amelia Island Concours is up! Tickets are less expensive in advance, and can be bought here. https://www.ameliaconcours.org/shop/...p?categoryid=5 One very cool thing they will have-in addition to Carl Becks BRE Rally Car, is a panel talk titled: "The Great Customizers", the panel will include Chip Foose, George Barris, Dean Jeffries, Darryl Starbird, Steve Pasteiner & Gene Winfield. The talk will be given Friday March 13th from 3-4:30. With any luck, the talk will be taped and available on DVD-I will check into that, and pre-order if possible-if not, I will find a way to get there mid day Friday and tape it myself. I am still working on getting a Z gathering together on Saturday so those of us who will be there to see Carl and his Car on the Green can hook up and plan for parking together on the parkway leading up to the show. I will post details as they are put in place-please let me know if you plan to be in the area! Will

    Great Video, only one part of the car I saw that I could not identify-YOU! With all of the work, effort and time you have put in to this exquisite car, you are a part of it! Will
  11. I picked up more than I need from ebay-pm me your address.... Will
  12. For the vents, I am using a gasket I made from adhesive backed neoprene foam to seal the vent plenum to the inside of the hatch. I am using pretty much the same thing on the lock mechanism-a sheet of the same neoprene sealing behind the mechanism. Will
  13. Oh sure! Now that I braved the freezing monsoon....Ok, a lite drizzle and 40 degrees.... Anyway. Internal part 90820-e4100
  14. It is raining and cold(for South Georgia anyway) here now. When it stops raining, I'll head out to the trailer and snap a pic or two of the nos parts(and numbers) for you. As I said earlier, you can get the grills from the dealer, if you seal theupper and lower hatch openings, that is all you need for the right look-and you avoid the possibility of exhaust being drawn into the cockpit. Ebay has the other parts you need on occassion, but be careful, they effectively crumble with age, what looks great in a picture can fall apart in your hands. Will
  15. Grills are still available from your local Nissan Dealer at around $25 each. The inner plenums are not, and are found in three varieties. Will
  16. and more... The aftermarket Kenwood radio was installed with all of the speaker wires cut off-using only the rca outs. In reviewing the proper owners/install manual downloaded from Kenwoods web site for the unit-this option is not listed at all-leading me to believe(not tested yet) that the amplifier in the radio was(is) probably dead when the unit was installed. Have a peek at the wiring on the license lamp-indicative of the radio install. Several cut wires(B+) cut not wrapped. Will
  17. and more... No pins on the vent grills-the pins align and secure the inner plenums-meaning without the pins they slide around with each turn of the car-installation hole filled-and not opened up before installation means the grills pins were broken before installation. Lots of openings in the rear of the car, incomplete and miss-aligned repairs, untreated rust... The Passenger door is a filler piece too, but because it is painted silver, I could not get the pictures to show the dents inside...

    As pointed out earlier, fix it and paint is black to match the hood-if no one there can match the hood color-have both the hood and the hatch painted-or drive to an area that has paint and body shops that actually know what they are doing. Will
  19. I have been watching AU ebay for years, contacted Warren, and even had an infamous and well travled bloody bastard from down under try to find one...no luck so far. I am still working out making one-the hardware is the holdup-I have castings for the arm, but de/re-cripming the mirror is seriously a hit and miss situation-at best! Will
  20. A small and concise update. Out of 87 fasteners removed today 78 were coarse self-tapping sheetmetal screws-of those 64 were forced into locations with pre-cut threads. Six fasteners were correctly reused, and the balance were 10/24 threaded into metric threads. There were eighteen missing fasteners including the passenger side seat rear retainers-meaning the rear of the passenger seat was not bolted down-though the studs had been replaced. The door panels have cut lines and damage underneath, meaning they were probably not NOS, but a recovered set-though nicely done. The radio install included a dead Kicker Amp under the seat-not secured at all, and grounded with a self-drilling sheetmetal screw through the floor-it appears that the improperly prepared frayed ends of the 8g wires used shorted against the case blowing the underhood fuse, and the amp. For the fuel and vapor hoses in the back Al used heater hose, and made no attempt to seal the hoses where they passed through the floor. There are also several welding burn throughs at the back of the car-meaning more holes to the outside for fumes to pull through. Pictures will be posted later. Have a look at the speaker box-yes it is sagging when upside down. It was attatched at the bottom with a single self drilling sheet metal screw through the floor-right on top of the gas tank. Will

    Zak, Right now everything in in acrobat, I am experimenting with indexing the files and compiling the files and the index into a companded executable that has to be keyed with a second bootable program that temporarily disables the screen capture/file manipulation abilities of Dos/windows, and forces clock speed down. It is not stable on overclocked machines, is horribly cumbersome, allows no printing, and would force Carl Beck to have A PC-the Mac/PC emulators don't stand a chance of running it... This is not what I want for the project. I have considered watermarking the pages-and will definitely-but... Mike has a copywrite exemption for all printed documents involving the S30 series-so Nissan owns the rights, but we have license to use them. I have also considered serializing the copies (both on the media and in the software), and forcing online registration/authentication each time the software is accessed-again, not what I want for the project-but it seems the best option at the moment as the process could be set up on the club server(s) and possibly be integrated into Vbulletin. Will
