    Damn good idea that everybody keep a set of bushings around. Stock rubber or solid. When ever the time comes that that center console comes out for what ever reason change 'em. Sorta like cheap insurance for that one really bad misshift at redline! . Also I would like to suggest the hair pin that holds the "B" type stick in be replaced WITH A NEW one. Just more cheap insurance. I actually had my shifter come through the boot in my hand while trying to shift. Getting on the freeway, comeing from Motorsport! Man I wish I had a picture of my Girlfriend's face that day!!! :devious:

    Look up 'bout 7 posts texasz :devious:
  3. Does the wire in question look to have ever had any type of insulation covering it? Does it have round terminals at the ends, and are these enda attached to any bare metal of the block, head, or intake. And is the other end attached to the bulkhead(firewall), via a screw or bolt. If so it is a ground. It sounds like a common bare ground strap. Grey/silver fine strands of wire "braded" end to end? If it is not frayed or incomplete just leave it be. Computer controlled cars need these. If it is tore up replace it. You will want to checke the points of it's attachments also. Make sure they are clean and the face of the terminals and retaining srews/ bolts/nuts are clean and making good clean contact. :devious: .

    Com' on Carl the floats last a whole3-4 days. Victor only one day. I remeber people being out there 1 to 2 weeks before. In the freaken cold and rain. Rick it looks real nice, and it is. IF you like the freezing cold, wet, damp cement and a billion others pushing & talking all around you. By the way for 2 days after the parade they display the floats at a near by park. :devious: .

    Me??? Not at all. I really feel these two places have good Customer relation skills. When I first found Modern Motorsports Ltd. I sent an email question. Ross replied within 2 days. The last time I sent an email up there, I recieved a reply same night. And it was a sunday. Last a emailed Dave at ArizonaZcar, he also replied the same day. For information based email not just a problem or order type thing, same day replies go a very Looonnngggggg way to get my hard earned cash. Brsides have you seen the stuff these guy's crank out. I wish I had the internet 10 years ago when i'd have 3 or 4 Z's around the house and burn money to lite midnight BBQ's. Want me to represent you Michael??? :devious: .

    The ORIGINAL DATSUN 240Z was not fuel injected nor did they have electronic ignition. Jeez! Not everybody drives 280's. I thought this site was more for the 240Z. If you had a 240 before, then went and bought something that came after I guess that's cool. But when always making refrences to the 280Z/ZX models when talking about the 240 model, IMO I think it throws the thread off into a little chaos. :devious: Did you even read the thread from the start???

    Carl & Mike, i'll buy that. That's more reasonable. The A/C system I knew about. They never looked right. Inside or out. Western? I have a set of Western "Cyclones" I believe they were called. 14" Mags with lots of skinny vanes. Very, Very light for the time. :devious:
  17. 280ZX Fever also check out www.modern-motorsports.com. It's up in Canada. Ross also make last of real trick brake kits. :devious:
  18. www.arizonazcar.com makes these really big and bigger brake upgrade kits, and suspension parts for the Z. Check them out. Don't know about the importing part to you thought. From other members in the UK it sounds like a real bitch. Good Luck. :devious:
  19. frank13 replied to Bill S's post in a topic in Wheels & Brakes

  21. frank13 replied to mdbrandy's post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    Aren't those aluminum rims the factory option rims. Isn't that why so many of us have them? There wasn't really many good looking after market rims to fit the Z. But I always thougfht that there were so many of these plane slotted rims because the factory put them out.? :devious:

  25. frank13 replied to Mark Schue's post in a topic in Wheels & Brakes
    I agree with 2ManyZs, to the extent that I can get stock rotors to heat up the point where my calipers will bind. Nice glazed rotors every shade of the rainbow. In the city. Other than that for everything else you get a witness. 'Amen brother. Very well put. Back to SteveK. Wow that's F&%#ed up. We should do something about getting the members like SteveK some way to get the trick stuff with out having to get rapped. There has to be some way to get other members these parts. I would hope if I was in this situation someone would want to help me out. And I hate people. But the members here are Z People!! 2ManyZs let me know via my email if I could in any way be of help to you or your mates over there! Cheers Frank. :devious:
