PS I hold the ownership certificate to the Golden Gate Bridge and will include the bridge in the sale for an extra $50 :devious: :stupid:

I install the engine to the point where it is sitting on the front two engine mounts (nuts NOT installed where the mounts pass through the frame) and the rear of the engine is supported with a *slight* downward tilt with 4X4 and 2X4 blocks of wood. Then I use a transmission jack to support the trans at a *slight* upward tilt at the front. I have never tried to install the engine with the trans already installed in the car. It's only a few extra bolts to drop it and that's what I have done. Good Luck!

3/4" is about the depth of the pilot bushing. Are you *sure* that the pilot bushing installed is the correct one? I.D. of bushing compatible with the O.D. of the input shaft? There is little clearance between the input shaft and pilot bushing so everything must be lined up VERY close to perfect, or it will not slide in completely. Return the cherry picker, and get some blocks of wood to support the rear of the engine. When you are ready to try intalling the trans again, get a transmission jack and use that to install it. When I installed my engine and trans this summer, the trans hung up a bit at the point you are at, but a little wiggling side to side and up/down while supported on the jack got it to slide home within about 15-20 minutes total time. Sure beat having the trans supported by my arms and on my chest. (guess Keith types faster than I do)

280Z Fan Shroud on eBay Somebody was looking for a fan shroud for a 240Z a few days ago. This one can be modified with a little effort to fit the 240Z radiator which is slightly different in size from the 280Z radiator. I am not the seller, and do not know anything about him/her, or the condition of the item being sold.

In a word, YES (as Dave said) In a word NO. All of the aftermarket aircleaners that I have seen do not have such a provision. After having this filter on the valve cover for a while, you do need to clean it to remove any oil build up or it will eventually drip out on the engine.

The fitting on the valve cover is normally routed by a hose to the intake air cleaner so that blow-by air from the engine has a place to go. When using *some* aftermarket air cleaners (which may not have the provision for the hose), you can use the filter which will trapp any oil mist blowing out of that valve cover fitting to keep it from being puked all over your nice clean engine compartment.

I don't know who stocks them, but K&N does make them. Maybe email K&N for a stocking dealer near you?

With our (USA) popluation being somewhat over 280 million, I believe that there are many more than a million who fit that description. Maybe even 100-150 million would fit.

I Like It!

The "lever" may be the same BUT the WIRING that comes with the lever, and switch is not compatible. The wiring will not connect. There are significant differences to the wiring harnesses between the early Z's year by year.

I agree Chloe. He never mentions whether it is RHD or LHD. Clarification seems to be needed.

He's located on Texas according to the auction, and judging from the picture is will only fit a right hand drive Z. Shipping $$$ will kill most of you Aussies, and there aren't many RHD Z's here. Also. his description says "I paid almost $400 American to get this looking so good." (?) It comes with wiring too, and the OEM dashes do not include wiring. I wonder if it is indeed a NEW dash or a recovered dash.
