That sounds like a good idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe I’ll start with this. What would be a good all terrain tire, wheels and size. All terrain because it won’t be all off road. Mostly a daily driver Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The last thing I’m going to do is destroy a 1970 z. I won’t do anything to the car that can’t be backed out. It will be a little better every time I touch it, well maybe not, but it will be preserved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never mind, I got it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I won't off road it much. It's a fun project. I like the series 1.

I'm thinking about building an off road z. I know it's been done a lot, but I haven't found much build information, and I'm not sure where to start. It seem to me like the suspension is the right place. When I say off road, it will mostly be gravel and dirt. Just for fun, not racing. I've got the car and I want to do something different. I don't want to do anything that can't be reversed, like cutting suspension and welding in a new one. Any ideas?

I did pull all the plugs. I didn’t hold the throttle down. I was familiarizing myself with the process. My main goal was to put new plugs in. I took advantage of that time to learn some things. My gauge will now easily fit in all positions and I can do a test pretty quick. Also, I didn’t know about holding the throttle wide open. Why do we do that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only reason I asked is because of the detail of some of the things I've seen here that people have created. I pulled all my spark plugs today to replace them. I have no idea how long they have been in there. they looked pretty good with the exception of the one in the number 1 cylinder. It was clean, just poorly gapped, like it was dropped before it was inserted. I did a compression test to rel-familiarize myself with my compression tester and using it on the z. I did it cold, just to get the feel of it. I believe it's suppose to be done hot. I'll do it again later. Cold the first reading on all cylinders read about 90 with the fourth reading being around 150.

I was reading the service manual last night and thought it would be a good idea to have a form to track tune-ups etc. Has anybody created a form they use that is based on the Service Manual? If not I'll probably make a pdf or maybe a little database for the iphone. I'm sure a log book is enough, but I'm retired and can make something if it hasn't already been created.

I’m waxing the z today. The first time since I’ve owned it. I noticed lots of black comes off all the rubber trim. What’s the best thing to do to preserve all the rubber trim? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did clean it. When I removed it, it fell apart. All I had to do is clean it and reassemble it. Thank you. Been driving the z with all the new electrical upgrades. I ordered the Alternator also Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got this all squared away. Thanks for all the help. Plus a local z guy that’s on here helped me out. I put 75 miles on the car today and now I’m motivated again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got that too. I removed the headlight relay because I noticed my blinker problems after I installed it. That of course wasn’t the problem but at least I was back to the original configuration Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
