Don't worry about it...WingZr0 won't be happy until at least 14,000 of the 13,745 members have one of the very limited supply of ANSA twin-pipes...hehe Welcome aboard...sweet ride...

How mercenary of you...

If you are dropping the tank. Consider getting it cleaned and coated. Either take it to a rad shop or use the POR-15 kit.

Mine was only an issue when filled up completely...If i ran at 1/2 tank, never an issue.

Take a pocket digital camera and try to get shots of the top of the tank. Note this thread where I had an issue: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26398 Did the spill come from one side in particular? Given the rate of pouring out, I'd assuming you're missing something like the vent hose.

Sale ended early...someone snapped it up

Hmm..with the housing crash, those builders should have plenty of idle time right now. Might be the time to strike.

That has a tinge of "speaking from experience" to it...Is there a good story? Actually, I have just under 50 acres of land zoned agricultural. As long as I leave room for a tractor (or even a ride-on lawn mower...), I can pretty much build as I see fit.

... Mid-point for us is probably Albany...

Better yet...upgrade the garage...I moved from the 3 car garage in my sig to an 8 car garage(that would be pretty tight though)... Plenty of room for wayward Datsun's...

Here's one on the east coast...looks interesting... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=136786

That's pretty much it. Now for some real paranoia...most of us have our vin's on the site (a number in our sig's)...+ license plate info (or real name) to get address...bam lien on your car... Not quite that easy, but doable...

Welcome back to the fold! A 15 yr barn find? Have fun... Planning to resto back to original or mild performance or monster machine? Oh yeah...P I C T U R E S...

Very nice...

Ouch...oh well..you'll be happy when she arrives...

Holy high miles batman...although mine could be 270K...who knows...looks to be nicely maintained...was only joking about a 4th Z...almost bought one a month ago...wife was ready to give me the business...and it was just a decent parts car...

These pics bring two questions to mind: 1) What's your address? 2) What time of day are you busy at work??? :bandit::pirate::bandit::pirate: Enjoy the rides...

The company is called Coastal Express, Inc. toll free # is (800) 720-9194. If that doesn't work try (518) 846-8546. Nice people. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers.

Hmm..is it roadworthy? Cost me $800 to get the '77 to the New York border and I brought it across myself. The shipping companies charge an arm and a leg to bring it across the border. If your interested, get a quote to Chazy, New York and find your way to Montreal. You can crash here and we'll get you across the border. (I can look up the transport company if you need. I used a broker. When I picked it up the transporter said if I ever needed another brought across to call direct and possibly save some cash...fuel has gone up mind you...). In the end, you'll only save a bit (maybe a few hundred at most), but much more fun...

Agreed. The difference is that with the relatively "valuable" classics, it makes much more sense (using the term loosely) to invest in a full and complete resto. (willing to spend $40k on a resto that will net you $60k...a little more difficult with an end value of $30k...) There are also more suppliers, so competition would dictate that parts for these may even be slightly cheaper (also due to economies of scale in production due to higher demand).

Bigger carbs allow for more air/fuel to the cylinders. This will deliver more power as long a you are running a cam that is set up to use that extra capacity. In order to deliver more power, you want to achieve balance throughout your system. Carbs >> cam >> head (ported) >> exhaust system. Simply adding bigger exhaust will not automatically provide better flow unless that is the constriction in the system. Do some digging on this website and hybridz.org, this is discussed at length. As for the 5 speed, there are a couple of different variations of the 5 speed that have mildly different gear ratios. The biggest change over your 4 speed is the addition of an overdrive gear which will be good for highway. There will be little (if it is the close-ratio 5 speed) to almost no difference other than that. You may want to look into rear end changes depending on what performance you want to achieve. Again, use the search function...all of this has been well covered in previous posts...

Yes, it was nice to see a Z article that didn't reference the integral role a german designer played in the in the development of the car...

And wow...the car looks awesome Carl...congratulations on the article!

Welcome aboard...make sure you connect with the Ontario Z Car Association...a number of good guys in that group...also you might want to look up Whitehead performance...they know these cars inside out...(they also know a pretty good body guy on Z's up near HWY 7 & HWY 400).

Yep. Got if off the rack today...guess Montreal is closer to Florida than Clearwater...oh...wait...
