Oh ya, altering the wheelbase is a minor change and simple task. :stupid: Shoehorning an L24 into a 610 would be easy in comparison Victor: I wish we had gotten those models also.

1. Valuation of Z's can vary significantly depending on location 2. Terms like "fairly straight body" leave a lot of "wiggle room" and what fits that difintion in your eyes will probably not fit that definition to me. 3. If it's only 80 to 90% complete, it's a project car and it's value is (IMO) much less than a complete car of comparable condition, VIN, etc.

..........in other words there is no equivilent over here.

look for a thread called "Forum catagories". talk to Mike.

....... or theses (plural of thesis?)

Whatever you did with the diff shouldn't have any bearing on the clutch problems, so lets forget about that. What did you do with the trans or clutch P/P, T/O bearing, Slave cylinder, Master cylinder? Change any parts, mix up parts, forget to bleed system?

attachment function is working fine.

Actually the correct answer is a 2 part answer. Part 1. Because you have one. Part 2. Because she's female.

Your description of the alt IN your car makes me think someone has modified your car.

save pennies.

As far as I know the image size is limited to 1024 X 768 OR LESS and I believe you have to do this image by image (in other words you can't upload 1 folder with multiple images).

Thanks Mark and Pancho

I think your gas cap door is correct for your vintage of HLS30-U. The 71 Z that I previously owned had the latch you describe. The 73 240Z that I owned had a lock/key. The 72 Z I currently own has neither.

Thanks Pancho. Just to be clear, do we use the cut-off wheel to remove only the "peened" area of the nut, or do we cut off the entire area above the "hex" part of the nut? Mark: Thanks for the offer of pics. I don't think I need any more of this part f the job, but if you document the rest of the job, please consider posting some images of the important aspects of this project.

..........and use anti-seize compound on the threads of the plug before you reinstall it.

Mark: I was wondering about this. It looks like the threads on the stub axle have been removed by the cutting. Is this an illusion? I am trying to gather as much information on this job as I possibly can as I am sure I will have to do it one day in the future and I want to understand what to do and not to do when the time comes.

If your tank is rusted badly inside you may have no choice but to have the tank opened up to treat it. It can be very difficult to reach all area's inside a tank to remove the rust without cutting holes in it. In short, you do what you have to do to restore your tank to a structually sound condition since new tanks are not available, and used ones in decent condition can be hard to find. Thanks to a poor repair contracted by the (original) P.O., my cars tank had to have two holes cut into it to allow access to all the rusted areas. After the rust was removed, the openings were sealed by patches riveted in place , then silver-soldered, and finally the tank was sealed. a 3 year warrenty was given by the shop (this was almost 6 years ago) and I have not had a single problem, or sign of any rust in the fuel filters since the repair.

Thanks for the advice, Phred!

Anniversary? Well, Err, Ahhh........ we met last May on the Mt. Hamilton run with Ben and Dave Record. I'm not sure that I can be there at the Stoneridge Mall meet this weekend. I'll be at Blackhawk for sure though.

Thanks Marc. Are you going to be able to make it to the Blackhawk show on June 3rd? There's probably another trophy wait'n for you. Hope to see you there!

While 280Z's are generally reliable cars, you have to keep in mind that they are almost 30 years old. The cars have already outlived their normal life expectancy. Components can fail. I am not you, but if I was your age, I'd want a newer car as a daily driver (one I can realistically depend on, and drive in snow when needed) and I'd be saving my $$ with an eye towards acquiring the Z that I want as a second car. (one I can work on, drive on weekends, park indoors in the winter, and have fun improving as money allows). But that's just me

Naw, that isn't me. That is German F1 pilot Nick Heidfeld. He has more $$, women, hair, and has many other things than I don't have either.

Sure it does You are trying to insert an image that is already on the internet, right? If you are trying to post a image that resides on your own computer, you have to scroll down the edit page and click on "manage attachments", select the image on yur hard drive, upload it and close window, then save the changes

Maybe he's the twin brother of that clown in AZ that was putting up and taking down Z car auctions all last week.
