I am infected bad! I knew I needed to replace the bushings and shocks so I thought IMAW go ahead and replace the springs WIAT. Since I had to take off the transverse links to replace the bushings, I thought IMAW paint them too. And since all that would look too pretty when done IMAW go ahead and paint the rear link crossmember and supports. Once those came off I figured IMAW drop the diff, moustache bar and front diff mount and paint those. Since I have to paint the half-shafts IMAW replace the u-joints WIAT. Since I went that far IMAW go ahead and pack the wheel bearings. Because I have all the struts off, IMAW rebuild and paint the calipers. Because I decided to do that, I better rebuild rear wheel cylinders. And since I seem to be on the road of rebuilding the brake system, IMAW replace the rubber brake hoses with braided lines. Since I'm going this far IMAW rebuild the MC and refresh all the brake hard lines. And since I am refreshing all the brake hard lines IMAW do the fuel lines too. Due ot the fact that I'm refreshing the brake and fuel hard lines, IMAW refresh the clutch hard lines too. And finally, since I am refreshing all the other hydraulic systems, IMAW replace the clutch hose and rebuild the slave cylinder. During all that I managed to swap out the old dizzy for '81 dizzy and WIAT I cleaned up the engine compartment by removing all the smog related components I could. Did I mention that WIAT I spent a $hi7load of $$$?

Ignore this thread. It is a duplicate and has been answered in the other one, same title, same forum.

That's some good thinking there John. I'll ahve to remember that one when it comes time to build a new engine for my Z.

I'm sorry but that motor doesn't look freshly rebuilt to me. My guess will be that the seller is the one who will have to worry about "legal action".

Not sure how that's gonna work as the tap width is much wider that the small hole that resides at the bottom of the inlet port.

Now that looks like fun. Love the sound.

Looks good from the outside at first glance but you really need to go look at it and inspect it for rust in specific areas. Do some searching on the forums here and you will find plenty on where to look. These cars are notorious for dim headlights and tail lights. Usually it's just a matter of cleaning up the connectors and eliminating resistance in the circuits. Headlight output can be improved by incorporating a relay into the mix. Also you may want to update your profile with your location. There may be someone who knows what to look for on the car that can go with you or even go on your behalf.

I was surprised at the loud popping noise they made when breaking free of the bore. I need some new shorts anyway.

I love the older red one. Lot's of original ideas there, but the new one just isn't all that impressive. In fact, I like the stock shape better.

TIFF files are likely just WAY TO BIG and are exceeding the maximum file size on the board. Grab a program called Irfanview and resize it then try again.

Let those ponies roar man! You know you wanna!

Ok, I went ahead and completed the HTML conversion and it looks great. Here's a preview until we can figure out how to get it in as an article with the images inline. http://www.jaderunner.com/Auto/240Z/Docs/daves_harness.htm

I will be out most of this week on business travel but will be happy to convert it to HTML upon my return, as well as host the associated images if need be. However, I think it makes more sense to host it all on this site in one place. I hosted it on my site to avoid the multiple posts for each update. I already tried a saving it to HTML from Word and it looked like crap so I'm going to have to do some hand editing. When done I can send it in a zip file if you have some way of hosting the images and displaying them inline.

That is truly awsome. I think i need to follow this more closely. I had no idea the Zs were still so competitive. What class is this?

As far as I know the only way is for an admin to make it a Sticky.

If you are looking for a permanent fix, you might consoder finding a junker and cutting out that section, then welding it on your vehicle.

Ok gents. I've added the overall wiring harness pic and posted the document on my web server. http://www.jaderunner.com/Auto/240Z/Docs/daves_harness.doc Dave, it might make sense to edit your original post and add in this URL for convenience before we get too many references to this file going in this thread.

Did anybody else notice the odd way the door opens? Looks like it pivots out rather than simply swinging on a single hinge.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be as smart as the Google maps or cover as much territory. However, I'm sure that will improve with time. Once again, I've gotta give the Pirate of the Year award to Microsoft. When are they going to come up with a innovative new idea of their own?

Go here and do a comparison. Perhaps you can find a part nunmber and compare it to yours. http://www.webercarbsdirect.com/carburetors

My guess is that almost everything is interchangeable, with some exceptions like the dash area and associated components, brake lines, steering linkage and rack. Anything else come to mind? But what do I know. Nissan part numbers would probably help out there.

Sorry I missed that one. I love that show. It looks like they do most of their filming here in the SF Bay Area. Mostly East Bay it seems. They must be in the Berkely or Alameda area.

Hey, stop e-mailing me!

Three words: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

I can handle the elbow grease part, the problem is more along the lines of needing an enclosed space, a rotisserie, engine puller, engine stand, large compressor, sandblasing gear, and painting equipment. I'm just not gonna even try it with only jackstands and a carport. Good thing this is more of a want than a need for me.
