The crowd sounded rather sedate. Did they get excited over any other cars up for bid?

Do you or your friend have a GoPro? I watched video of my car shot from someone with a GoPro and saw how bad of an exhaust leak my car had. I also learned about exactly how bad the body roll was. See for yourself (and put it on 1080p). https://youtu.be/k6xXvITd6Rk longer video https://youtu.be/k6xXvITd6Rk

I have relied I have relied upon the Internet Wayback Machine for years.

Thank you, Chas. I double-checked the wiring diagram and it agrees with you that the hazard flasher has a blue/white wire. I appreciate the proofing.

Chas, instead of assuming I'm right, point out what the differences are so we can double-check. With as much of an exercise as it is to do this with CAD or Visio, I admire the work done by our engineering and draftsman predecessors.

Okay, all of this talk about color wiring diagrams got me to update my old blog post on the Hazard/Turn Signal/Brake Light circuits. Since several of you are in the mode of error checking, please send some of that love my way and review my drawing for errors. https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/hazard-switch-brake-light-turn-signal-circuit-analysis/ Thanks!

You are correct. The wiring is different.

True GL4 oil. Not GL5.

If you want to eliminate a fuel issue, check the fuel pressure. Download the fuel injection bible from http://www.xenonS130.com/reference.html, and read through the troubleshooting. Doing proper diagnostics beats the crap out of shotgunning parts.

No

Provide colors, and you'll get a correct answer. The disconnected device in the second picture is the emergency start button for the seatbelt interlock relay.

I hear mine.

I've purchased two sets from Mike @ Banzai. He's a great person to deal with.

Thank all of the knowledgeable people on this site & zcar.com who taught me the proper terms. I've learned a lot by reading posts here and there. Using Google to find what you need is easy after that.

I think I remember where this conversation went when it was on the old mailing list... "Hey, Honey, where is the vaseline? I need it in the garage to try something I read about online." I wish I could provide original attribution.

I bought mine from Harrington Group because the others weren't available at the time. If they had been, I would have gone with the chromed instead of stainless steel. I still have to mount the rear bumper on the 74.

I did the conversion last year. I used the Harrington Group bumpers, but the mounting points should be the same on the Futofab bumpers. You'll need the 70-72 brackets. https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/installing-the-front-bumper/ https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/rear-bumper-install-73-240z/

Experts should never ready any media (including social media) on the topic of their expertise. People will always conflate the myths and falsehoods with the truth. It gets mixed well so that you can no longer distinguish one from the other. While I hear the tales being told and know they aren't completely true, I can smile and enjoy them nevertheless.

I like the style of the Jalopnik story. http://jalopnik.com/nissans-father-of-the-z-and-rogue-exec-katayama-yutaka-1687214072
