Bleach

Yes, that is exactly what I did! So full of rust, what a waste to even keep around any more. Here was its last day with me as I loaded it up to take to the crusher.

It doesn't look like any factory part I've ever seen. It could be an aftermarket vacuum distribution block to connect a bunch of small hoses together.

Here we are at March 2nd and no update on the 2010 Nationals on Motorsport's website and no dyno signups.

I'll be there on Saturday around noon. I'm camping for the weekend. I will be arriving with a mixed group of Datsuns from the Seattle area. Z-cars, 1200, 510, and 620s mostly.

I fully support RHD Z's being worth crazy amounts of money in resale. :cheeky:

that car looks amazing

its only a 2+2

Golden Gardens? Looks almost the same as it did a couple months ago Ian. Hurry up! :classic: My fairlady hasn't changed much either though and it won't be at Golden Gardens...

I bought this wheel recently for $36 Then I got a horn button for free from a friend. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=160156795734

There are better cars to use as a drag racer than a 280ZX. Keep the fuel injection. Check your intake. Make sure the Air Flow Meter (AFM) is connected tight and the hose going from it to the throttle body is solid and all connections are on there. You dont want a huge air leak. It sounds to me like your AFM is just unplugged. Check the plug on the bottom. Make sure it is clean and dry. (and plugged in)

my first Z was hit by a full size truck, a Caddy, and a Suburban. All while parked. sorry to hear about that hood damage. Looks like a nice car

There appear to be HID kits now on eBay for around $80 shipped. They look legit. I was thinking about trying one for my truck but I'm hesitant to buy HIDs for a non-projector housing. I'm sure the road looks good without adjusting those, but have you had the opinion of drivers who have been in front of you or driving the opposite direction? Projectors have a nice clean cutoff where light does not go up into the eyes of oncoming drivers.

the HIDs look nice but I don't think those are projector housings. They are projector "look" lenses, right? Just a round lense in front of your HID element.

he's been sleeping for 3 days now

Better post a few more times within a 10 minute period. That'll get people running to take that part from you that never really goes bad.

Very good pictures of your 280Z. I like those wheels. hey Dave, very nice car! Can you post the link to your CarDomain page?

do you have a scanner so you can post pictures online? I'd love to see those.

on the subject of early Z seats, I have two seats in my 1970 Fairlady Z (JDM) that have vertical stitching I have not seen before. At this moment I dont' have good pictures of them. I can get some soon. The driver's seat is severely damaged so I'd like to replace it or get it fixed. I have a replacement passenger 240Z seat with horizontal stitching for right now. any thoughts on these?

does anybody have any RHD Fairlady Z ads or promotional material from 1970?

Here is an actual picture of me! :sleepy:

I have a few 620 parts. but you probably already know about them. I saw thsoe 240Z parts as well. I'm bidding on something...

I've been a 'member' for about 8 years now. Some years I am hardly able to attend any events. I like the group of people there. It is a social car club. Some like to preserve older cars, others like to modify their new cars. The majority of the cars owned by the member seem to be early S30 body or Z32, Z33 cars. Only a few in between. I had a 280ZX most of the years I was attending the drives and hardly ever saw another 280ZX. This year I have not been able to attend a single event but keep planning to. Other things always come up. I haven't registered or paid my $50 though for this year. They still welcome me to join them on a drive. I have no complaints. I think some people go to a club meeting wanting to be catered to. I always felt welcomed with my 280ZX even hanging out with people mostly driving 350Z's.

I sold my 280zx turbo a couple weeks ago.... after 10 years of ownership. It was my first Z. but it had to be trailered. Strangely, I'm not too sad but I guess I do have another Z still and plan to buy more before the year is done!

Probably labor. It certainly wasn't the wheels and tires checkbook enthusiast?
