Is there any updates?

1988 GL model 300ZX. Heat selector on cold = watercock pulled in. Heat selector on warm (middle) = water cock full out. Heat selector on hot = watercock full out. Cold sucks it in, Hot lets it out. Only defrost works, no matter which vent is chosen. When fan is on low position, fan is off. When fan is on off its at the low speed. When fan is moved from low to high, fan speed gets faster. and like I said, hot or cold, all I get is heat, yet the water cock goes up and down so you would think the water would not be able to go through the heater core, and it doesnt look like I have a bypassed water cock. Any clue?

Havent posted in a while but check out www.evsource.com they have a step by step process of converting a 200sx to electic. He had a special bell housing made and used an adapter to hook up the fly wheel to the Electric motor and could still clutch properly. I emailed him to see how much his bellhousing cost. I read through it an came up with a rough estimate for the parts list. I have a NA Z31 that i wouldnt mind doing this to.

I have a taurus fan installed and I have a problem where when the car is ran down the interstate, the idle completely drops out and car stalls. I think the problem is related to heat soaking and I am wondering if any one knew of any part that could cause this? I am thinking of doing some creative shrouding with sheet metal to prevent air from hitting the top part of the engine. Just looking for peoples 2 cents. I ve replaced alot of parts and still have the same problem. Thanks Ive a lot of updated info on my cardomain site, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2272864/1 -Rick

I dont recollect there being a spotted thread so I thought I would start one. Today while I was waiting in the wendy's drivethru, I spotted a gray 1983 280ZX driving in the parking lot of Hooters. I pulled out of line and drove closer to where he parked and I got to take a first hand look at the straight 6. Looked real nice, had a recent paintjob, 2+2 model, automatic non turbo and rims that looked like the british cross? Anyways, I gave his some websites but I gave him first the HybridZ.org site address. He said he would take a look. Pretty cool to see another Zcar in my neck of the woods. -Rick

Could be a rainbow...or it could be a gay pride event being organized...I dunno

This is what I suggest, I hope it helps. Take a camera and take good pictures of the area that was being worked on. Take a far away shot to show no signs posted, Take a closer shot to show the turn you were about to take, take another shot to show the bump you hit and come to court with your parents or atleast your dad. Your father's presence will do more for you then an affidavit, the pictures, taken in the broad daylight, being shown to the judge and then ask him to consider this happened at night and how you were trying to turn around and head back after hearing problems on your car. Point out with respect that the officer gave you a ticket while it was dark regarding an action that must be seen. All he could have saw was the quick bump in the light flow from your headlights. If the bump wasnt marked with a sign how could you expect to avoid it. All ways use Yes Sir, or Yes Ma'am or No Sir, or No Ma'am. Get a respectable haircut. Put your church clothes on your Mom bought you last year. Make sure you shaved. Dont say the officer is lying, just show reasonable doubt that he could be mistaken since he thought you were someone else from Newark. Respect will get you far. All that together and you should win.

Nissan released "The Z concept" in 99 and I have been looking for pictures for yall, here is what I have found so far. and a larger one...
