ROFL Vicky

I say put a bullet through the block and put the poor thing out of it's misery. So sense in letting it suffer like that. Vicky

Since when is a Z called a "2 Door Sedan" Vicky

Thanks for all the info guys. Scott is going to try Enriques method this week and see what the cause is. There is no immobilizer on the car so that's not it. Again thanks for all the input. Vicky

Hey wooduck Is this a true Scarab with the build sheet form Scarab Performance or is this a Z that someone just ordered a simular kit and put it on themselves. I see no Scarab badges on the car. When you open the drivers side door just below the Nissan plate there should by a plate that says "Scarab Automotive" with the MFG. Date and the VEH I.D. Does this vehicle have any documentation? Thanks Vicky

That sounds like alot easier install than undoing the darn radio. Thanks 2-4-T-Z-MAN :classic: Vicky

Thanks gema I think we'll try and un-hook the radio to see if that's the cause. It really is useless in that car because you can't even hold a conversation, let alone listen to some tunes, the engine is so loud:cry: Vicky

Welcome to the site. You will find a plethara of information from these guys. Ask and you will receive. Can you post some pictures. We all love to see before, progress and completed shots. Again welcome!! :classic: Vicky

One of my old cars looked that beautiful with a $199.00 Maco paint job and a month later the paint was trashed. The interior of the car has been highly neglected which leads me to believe that there's more than meets the eye on that Z. Interior is a good jumping off point to see how well someone has taken care of their car. And I just don't mean vaccuming and armoraling the dash. Some people think if you throw on a paint job and a nice set of wheels that's all it takes and the average Joe won't know that it's really rusting away. JMO Vicky

Here's some background. The battery is the Optima Red Top Performance sealed with 925 cold cranking amps. Alternator is charging fine. When the car sits for a while, like say a month, I go to start it and it's dead. Is is possible the radio is draining the battery? The radio has a program memory so it can remember your stations. There's an itys, bitsy red light on the radio that remains on after you turn the car off. Once the battery is charged and you run the car around, it fires up for days, but let it sit for any length of time (more than two weeks) and nothing. Can something thats so minute be killing my battery or could there be another cause? I can let my 72 240 sit for months and go out there and she starts like a charm with the factory Nissan battery. Vicky

Absolutely awZome! I love the body and the color is blinding. Heading to the drags........I hope whoever is driving it can keep it in a straight line. What a shame if that were to ever hit the wall. Vicky

I just re-read the entire sales pitch again also. Ummmm. That's the way I understood the add on fees too. This is the same company that sold to the Forbes Family?!?! What gives. Vicky

Well "Bob" from the Enzyte ads will be livin' "large" in his clone Ferrari Vicky

10K for Brembos!!! This was going to be our next upgrade for the 77 280Z. I think you can do it for alot less then that, no? What about Wilwoods? Vicky

The seller states this car is titled as a 1962 Ferrari Coupe. How can that be. It's actually a kit car, but shouldn't it retain the Datsun name and year on the title? The vin remains as a Datsun. Please explain Vicky

I remember when Scott was first starting out on the restoration of the 77 280Z. We had an old Tweeks magazine. He called them to inquire about an item for his Datsun. They said "We don't deal with Datsuns anymore, we only sell Porsche products". Scott quickly responed to them, "I guess you've stepped down a notch then, huh". They were not amused and quickly hung up the phone without even saying another word. Too funny Vicky

Very nice. One question. When I bought my 78 280Z back in 1984 it had those same rims on it. Do you know if they were actual Datsun mags or some after market brand? Vicky

1. The Halloween pumpkin on your porch has more teeth than your spouse. 2. You let your twelve year old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids. 3. You've been married 3 times and still have the same in-laws. 4. You think a woman who is "out of your league", bowls on a different night. 5. Jack Daniels makes your list of "most admired people". 6. You wonder how the service stations keep their restrooms so clean. 7. Anyone in your family ever died right after saying: "Hey watch this". 8. You think Dom Perignon is a Mafia leader. 9. Your junior prom had a daycare. 10. Your wife's hairdo was ruined by a ceiling fan. 11. You think the last words of the Star Spangled Banner are: "Gentlemen, start your engines". 12. You lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels. 13. The bluebook value of your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas is in it. 14. You have to go outside to get something from the fridge. 15. One of your kids was born on a pool table. 16. Your toilet paper has page numbers on it. Vicky

Now "Z" driving gloves, that would be cool:classic: It's the duster and pillow that just look cheesey, even with a Ferrari or Porsche logo. I like the watches, gloves and things like that with a logo. But a pillow, at least that one, it just looks cheap IMO. But somebody will buy it. Vicky

:stupid: Good lord. Just because it has a "Z" logo on it this fool thinks a Z owner would buy that crap. Put it on a Chevy Z28 Camaro site, maybe those owners are little more loose with their money.:tapemouth Now I have to edit because the oil cap has been added to the previous post. That item is unique. Vicky

Geez Bill, pretty soon these guys are gonna have your Z completed for you. At the rate their going, let them finish the car then you can steal it back from them when they're done. Can't you hire "Smith & Wesson" to protect your property? Vicky

Lambo Cop Car comes with a defibrillator. I believe I would be needing that if I drove that beastLOL Vicky

Those big crash bumpers looked like they saved the car from a bit more damage. Look at the pictures of the front hit on the 3rd page of this thread. Early bumpers...........that hood corner would have been toast. But that's why you have insurance :classic: Vicky
