Where in Northern CA are you located?

Roadrunner feathers? The one time I altered the pedals in a car, I used aluminum covers that were held to the original redal with a nut and bolt "clamp" system. It sucked, as I could never get them to stay tightly secured. From now on, I'll stick with OEM. Maybe that type of product has improved since then, but I won't take a chance.

They probably put in DOT3 and charged for DOT4. But, you'll never know (no one would). This is the kind of stuff everyone ought to be doing at home. For a small investment in tools and "Speed Bleeders", it can be done in under an hour (including jack-up time) and one then knows what was done and that it was done right.

Ask the guy that told you! PS, don't believe everything some jock at a NTB tells you. If he was an "ace" (or and "A.S.E." certified) mechanic, he'd be working some where else.

Funny you should mention that, as I already sent him a second PM about that one too!

I just sent him a PM request to do just that Keith!

Eeewwwww!!!! I don't WANT to see it!

Hi Rick: I HAVE already PM'd Chloe, zfreak72 (Kelly), andGealicpride (Shannon). Kelly has put up a pic, and Chloe and Shannon have inidcated that hey would, but as yet have not. Ahemm! Ladies??? Wazzup??

Aloha Joel: I can understand that. There aren't many people into Z's areound where I live either, but I'm sure that there are even less Z heads in the beautiful state of HI. Wish I was there! (with my Z of course!) aloha, Carl

I would think that it would not be a problem at all to use either fuel or water rated hose in this application. Interesting that you mention the hose you need is NLA. It must be a different one than what is used for 1972 Z's, as I just got one from Courtesy Nissan in TX about 3 months ago. You may want to check w/ Chloe at Midwest Z. She can get stuff that other people seem unable to get.

Aloha Joel: We tend to not be REGIONALLY oriented here. We're Z oriented. If you want to see dicussion, check out the "Z Car Disccussion Forums" on our site. That's where we spend most of our time and energy. Talking our heads off! aloha

.........and use your USER NAME as the Title!

Hi Bruce: Good Information for those folks running Mikuni's! Thanks for posting. Carl (aka Bambikiller240) Tech Articles Moderator

Lachlan, you still owe us one! Chloe "said" she'd post her picture, but she's still a "NO SHOW". Come on Chloe, I know you have a digi-cam, as you've sent me pictures of Z parts.

OH, I thought that was your real color! It looks good on you! Actually I was refering to some Streaks of BRIGHT RED (like Apple red) that I thought you had back then. How is "Skid Mark" doing? Do you still call the car that? PS, That was an ENGINEER's hat. We DRIVE the train! Conductors sit in back (wearing a funny hat) drinking beer and taking tickets! :stupid:

GunnerRob and I were wondering where Bonnie75209 is. We haven't seen her on the site since June. Does anyone know whats up with her. We enjoyed her participation on the site and were hoping to put a face to her user name via this thread.

Hi Kelly: I could only find one picture of you on the Yahoo page, and that one had your face hidden (hula contest). The other album seemed to be empty, or I couldn't view it anyway. Your hair is much longer than it was when I met you a couple years ago. ( no RED in it now either). "Looking Good!" Now DeeDee doesn't feel so all alone on the site. Post your Picture to the Member Mugshots Gallery for us please. Zya!

Don't hold your breath waiting for me to eat dem words. If/When the enconomy improves it will be in spite of, rather than because of GWB. (but I am glad your business is doing better. At least some of the money is staying out of Bechtel, and Haliburton's pockets!)

Thanks for the Great Work! One thing, though; for Chino 240Z, you have a picture of his family, he's behind the camera. there was another picture with him in the frame.

Any pictures that don't have 3/4 of your mug obscured by shadows.............or are you alergic to sunlight?

Back in the 80's I used to read a lot of True Crime books written by Ann Rule. Ted had actually worked along side Ms. Rule at one time (as his crime spree began) and she wrote a great book about his crimes, capture, trial, and execution. One of the great things about those books was that there was always a happy ending (the bad guy either got executed or life in prison). I just love a happy ending!

Hi James: I quote from the instructions previously posted "Refill back half with oil and a few cap-fulls of lacquer thinner". I've also found on a Porsche forum a recommendation to use the same Toyota fluid for rebuilding 928 Fan clutches. RENN List For myself, I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and get something (Nissan or Toyota, or whatever brand) that was meant for the purpose, rather than trust me to mix up a home brew, that may or may not match the viscosity, and thermal charectoristics of the original fluid. Just my $.02

Is it just me, or is there a resemblance here? For those who don't recognize the "normal" man in the pictures

Who is the Mad Texan?
