Thank you all! For support from the beginning to today, ten days later. I drove her to the gas station, as the crooks ran her down to fumes. The key switch is healthy again, AND THE CLUB IS IN PLACE WHERE IT WILL BE USED FROM NOW ON!! Tomorrow I will be adding some type of imoblizer, I'll search the forums for the best idea. I've decide not to refit the stereo until after I replace the dash, as per my original plan before it was stolen. Monday, I'll up the insurance. OH Chloe! get ready for an order!

After a harrowing journey to a Police Station, then to an Impound yard (taxi's are expensive!), my car is now home for repairs. It was found abandoned in a town, not to far from me and impounded. I had to bail her out for $176.00. The center console is in little pieces. All this for my $300.00 stereo? the ignition lock is thrashed, as the theif used a homemade knife the force the ignition lock. They left it in "On" position so the battery, and possibly the coil is burned. I've managed to get the broken knife point out of the key switch but it's too thrashed to accept my key yet. Got to go work on it now as I'm too excited to type!

If you search the forums for "holley" or "Arizona Z Car" you'll find the general consence is against this set up in favor of the round top SU's This one is an example Boy am I bummed out...terrible dyno results

Maria (Charlotte?), If you removed the screw which attaches the choke lever to the bottom of the nozzle, it should just about drop out. If you've done that, I'm sure the above statment isn't much help. Is there any indication that some misguided P.O. has glued the nozzles into the nozzle guide tubes? Are these still one the car or on your work bench? Have you seen the exploded views on the ztherapy.com site? Give em a little twist?

It was the clip, "Roll'em" that I liked so much. You get the sensation of speed, and driver busy-ness. It closely catches the AutoX experience.

Does anyone know where I can get new Stainless headlight surround for my 71.... ....521 pickup?

The rising sun may not fly in Texas. I like the Black and Red flames myself. What I'd really like is a new Tom Holt "Ride along" video. I think I played the old one to death.

My bank just called and reported to the police, that a guy came in with one of my lost checks and tried to cash it with phoney ID. He ran out when the bank was reporting him. They got him on film! He was trying to cash a check for $176.00 for plumbing services. He was driving an old white Buick but they didn't get his license #. If they catch him.. maybe it will lead to my car.

Yes, those.

As far as the H130 wheels go, I think the 6 point stars look the best. Followed by the "Swastica" 280ZX Turbo wheels, then the Iron Crosses. My own opinion. I DO believe you MUST use special lugs on all these wheels, as the holes are bigger than the 5 slot mags. Please correct me if I'm wrong

All Dodge Hemi Trucks are now on recall for accel pedal sticking.

Thanks again for the advice/crying towel. The last two days I've aimlessly taken drives down backstreets and auto shop rows lookingfor a familiar shape or a flash of green. No dice. I check the scene of the crime and there are no security cams. I've posted notice at my favorite Car wash, because they love me and my cars and their central location. They were SHOCKED and promised to be on alert. My Coworkers have given me support by keeping their eyes peeled on the way to and from work. I've been offered another Z, 72, low miles, single owner, liftime garage kept for a stunningly low price. I'm not sure if I should as I'm worried they will find my z and I'll have towing/impound/other unforseen costs. The Auto Club (insurer) had me file a claim, even though I didn't have comprehensive, to protect from liability from the theives actions. My roadster looks mighty lonely in the car port! I'm still going to pick up the 521 pickup this Saturday, so it will have company soon. There's a 81 ZX fatlady on the Craigslist sight for $500.00! another option, a car no one would want to steal!

In case any forgets that the Datsun community is the coolest, even if they are not on our club, Check out what Les and Dennis at Classic Datsun Motorsports put on the CDM web site. CDM Stolen Car Alert

I am of good spirits and in the company of good friends. I told my Coworkers today that I have received condolences from the entire globe and they look at me, thinking that I must have succumbed to the stress. I'd like to be able to tell you all that I am a smart man, but, I cannot. I had no theft insurance on my car. Living in Los Angeles, even Hagerty doesn't like to write policies in my corner of the hood. Plus that, I am a notoriously cheap bastard, and highly sceptical that insurance companies actualy pay. In hindsight, Z-less, my pratices look pretty foolish. I spent today, following up with the police, cancelling my cell phone (don't want to pay for the theives to call their girlfriends) and closing my bank account, to protect the checkbook that was in my briefcase. Other than the Z, I'll miss my CD's most. From Arrowsmith to Vivaldi, from indian folk to Buddy Guy, My music was me. I quess I'll replace the Z within the next year. What else would I do, with all those Z parts and the new dash still sitting on the living room couch! Meanwhile, I've been making arrangements with a list memeber over the last month, and this Saturday, I'm picking up my newest classic Datsun, a 71 521 Pickup. Untill then my roadster with a full race suspension is my daily driver. I'd better get something else soon, as I don't think my kidneys can handle the jostling!

Thank you all again. Still no word. The license plates are 901GFC, Califonia blue plates. They were restored by Mojo Art Works, so they looked like they were stamped in Folsom last week. If it stays gone, do I stick around and be the roadster guy in the Z universe? Dude! Where's my car!

Thank you all. I'm watching the phone, willing it to ring.

I filed the police report from a pay phone in the parking lot. the car could not have been more than a mile away at the time

About an hour and fifteen minutes ago, My 240Z was stolen from a drugstore parking lot, here in LA. I was in the store less than 15 minutes. It looks like pros got my lovely Z. I'm still shaking.

I think those look best polished! They are a hit with the roadster crowd, as they have the perfect offset. Isn't it true that you MUST use the special Nissan lugs with all these XZ wheels?

It doesn't take a scientist to perform a web search for "Advanced Driving" and the city name nearest you. five minutes netted me this one Advanced Driving Dynamics, Inc

Hey, I like the Rose Parade. Watch it every year... From my living room. I'd never knock it, It fantastic. It's not really my bag, but I appreciate it anyway. Roses? I like them too. I've got Descanso Gardens down the street with the worlds largest collection. Hey Coroporate America? Hooray for that too! Go Capitialism! SoCal Tourism? Love it! I tell everybody, Come to California! Spend lots of Money! Then go home. By all means, If it floats your float, PLEASE come down and see the parade. Go to Disneyland, Sixflags, Universal Studios, Knotts Berrry Farm, See's Chocolate Factory and thousands of other attractions. My idea of an attraction is the very curvy Angeles Crest Highway up to Mt. Wilson in a sports car on a perfect SoCal day. To each their own.

Gary, This page will give you all the specs dizzy specs But I would suggest the 8.5 (17 degrees at the crank) over the 9 (18 crank) as it will give you a touch more initial advance.
