  1. rudypoochris: You sure your not experiencing Clutch Chatter?
  2. I have weatherstripping from Victoria British on my windshield and the fit wasnt very good, which (IIRC) is the same stuff MSA uses. You may want to Contact Dan at the Zshop in Surrey BC. Last time I was around there he had a bunch of NOS Nissan Weatherstripping.
  3. My Z has 240SX Mirrors installed. They are bigger then stock, but provide excellent visibility. Can be seen in this old picture. http://www3.telus.net/gmhoward/102-0293_IMG.JPG
  4. Warning: Long Post I've probably have to fix this type of problem a couple times a day at work. Its called a Browser Hijack and can be really annoying. Hijack This is the best program for removing this type of spyware but if your infected with this then you more then likely have some more spyware you dont know about. What I do is as follows... Sometimes Spyware will hide itself in the temp files in your system or create new temp files folders and store info in there. I would also Check add/remove programs as some minor spyware you can get rid of it by simply doing a uninstall. Download these programs in Normal mode since the computer is working well enough to post here it should work well enough to download these. Update them all, and dont even both scanning or removing anything in normal mode. Ad-Aware SE Spybot Search and Destroy CWS Shredder HiJack This Restart the Computer in Safe Mode (F8 when booting) Delete all the temp files (locations varry depending on Which version of windows your running, If your running XP/2000 make sure you do this for each user account. C:Documents and SettingsUser AccountLocal SettingsTemp C:WindowsTemp C:temp Delete all the temporary internet files (Open Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Delete files, Delete Cookies. You will have to re-enter all your passwords etc you had saved unless you dont delete the cookies. Scan the Computer with Hijack This (most importany for this type of Spyware) Hijack this works slightly different then the other programs in that it doesnt just find stuff that is spyware but also legit stuff so you need to read what each item is make sure its spyware before removing. It does backup stuff so if you accidently remove something you werent supposte to you can restore the backup. If you post a log of whatever Hijack this finds I can tell you what you want to keep and what you want to remove. If you want to tackle Hijack This yourself some guidlines are 04 - Generally speaking spyware gnerates random names to load on boot as well such as C:windowssystem32ifgsxta.exe or Anything loading from a temp folder (listed above) BHO (02) (Browser Help Objects) are generally spyware unless named something such as Norton, Adobe, Google, yahoo etc... DPF (Downloaded Program files) you can delete if they are legit or not you just may be prompted next time you go to a website that you need to redownload a plugin etc.. R1,R0 - Delete anything it brings up, This is just your user settings for Search Page, Home Pages etc... You will want to reset all these anyways. HostFile Entries - Delete anything found Any questions let me know. If the system is still acting up you can try Spysweeper by Webroot (they offer a 30 Day demo). One of the top rated by PC Mag etc.. but costs money for more then 30 days.
  5. DatsunLover: I have a Early 71 240z (vertical Defroster lines in rear glass) build date 2/71 and it has steel headlight buckets. I wasnt aware of them ever coming with Fiberglass parts stock. The Headlight buckets are stock because when I sanded them down it was the same factory color as the rest of the body.
  6. I read hybridz while at work and am lucky that my boss also owns a 75 280Z and doesnt mind. I show him videos and what not that people post and he thinks its awesome. So it's not a problem at work for me. -Geoff
  7. If you notice as well the rear wheels have no caliper or anything. I had the car on jackstands and wanted to take the pics of the car sitting at ride height. So in a hurry to take pictures I put the tires on backwards. I am taking the door and window mouldings, door handles and bumpers to get powder coated in a few weeks so I should have some pictures of that when it's done. brianglawson: The 5 Lug setup is your Z31 Hub, Vented Rotor, Toyota 4x4 and the rear stubs redrilled to the bolt pattern. drftn280zx2+2: I didnt paint the engine bay. I figure I will wait untill the motor dies and then I will just do something similar to what 80Lt1 just did with his engine bay. This is also my only car. I live very close to work and I can easily just bus or bike there.
  8. Ordering Parts from Ross (Modern Motorsports) to BC is about the same as anywhere else. Shipping costs are low, but you have to pay GST 7% and PST 7.5% tax on everything. No Customs/duties are charged. I dont really have any info on the Datsun/Nissan meet. My Z car will probably not be ready for the show, but I hope to attend.
  9. Wow. Thanks for all the complments guys. The front airdam is not painted same colour as the car as I want the black to go with the black pillars, door mouldings and mirrors. It really looks alot different in the sunlight, and I dont have any shots of it outside yet. Im waiting untill I can get the brakes finished so I can roll it outside and get some nice shots, since it's too steep of a hill outside. The front airdam is one Victoria Birtish sells made from Urethane for a 240Z. The Powersteering is a Mustang Power Rack & Pinion. Its Al Silveria's setup on http://zcar.netdjo.com
  10. I recently had my 71 240Z painted. Color code is 1999 Porchse Metallic Fortest Green. It is a fairly cheap paint job and has a few imperfections, but overall im happy with the way it turned out. Since being back from Paint I have installed a Painless 18 Circuit Wiring harness and am currently in the process of changing all the weatherstripping and windows. Tell me what you guys think. I am young (18 years old) and my first time doing this kinda work. After first coat of etching primer, it has been wetsanded down Back Home all Painted
  11. You really need to do all of the mentioned above, (Run a up to date virus program and do regular windows updates). Spyware isnt as easy of a problem. Like mentioned earlier some of them you need to clean the registry. The problem also is that I've had with quite a few system's is that you can run ad-aware (by Lava-soft), then Spybot (by PepiMK) and then SpySweeper (by Webroots) and all of them will find something even after cleaning registry manually. So if your system is acting funny I would do a spyware scan, but dont rely on one program. I run all 3 spyware programs on my system, usually the system is clean and no problems, but once in a while Spysweeper will find a spyware object that the others dont pick up. There is no 100% program that will get rid of all spyware. Norton 2004 is getting better since it can detect some spyware/dialers but it doesnt do the best job of removing them. However lots of people just run AntiVirus software and think they are protected. Running a firewall will also help stop worms/trojans from infecting your system. Also some of the real bad spyware hides themself in Temp files on your system that they will re-infect the computer and appear to be innocent temp files. So Make sure you delete your temp files often.
  12. I would be in for a Shirt and a couple stickers.
  13. Just wanted to update everyone on my project. The latest edition of mods were -Subframe connectors from 2x3 0.125" wall thickness Steel -Repaired Rust in Floorboards, Frame Rails -Undercoated car with POR15 -New Sound Material (Bquiet, and Vcomp for Firewall Protection) -3.7 R200 LSD, Z31 CV Joints -Painted Brake Calipers Old Rusted FrameRail Rust Repair/Subframe Connector Subframe Connector welded to rear frame Pics after first coat of POR15 Bquiet Installed on Floors (the rest of the car is done as well, just dont have pictures uploaded). Also Dash has Dashcap installed, Front Urethane Airdam installed, just finishing up some body work, and I hope to have it in Paint Jail by the end of the week. I got lots more pictures but dont want to post to many to be fair to any 56k Dialup users.
  14. I have them both as well. I tried to upload it, but dont have enough free webspace to host it (size is about 25mb). If someone would like to host it, I would be glad to upload it.
  15. Some info on re-keying your locks http://zccw.org/Tech/Body/Re-Keying.html This is what I paln on doing do my Z soon, these secure locks are about as good as you can get, without shaving door handles/locks. http://zccw.org/Tech/General/SecureDoorLocks.html
