Phil, Buy that Bike! 1. You tell her you are the man of the house and will do whatever the hell you please, when you please!!! YEAH! 2. Tell her it's a mid-life crisis and you'll get over it soon. 3. Tell the wife you sold the Z to Chris but you need to store it for him for a while. 4. (your inside voice) "THE HELL IF I'M LEAVING." If she doesn’t like it she can take a walk off a short pier but I'll be damned! Happy Anniversary and give her my best Oh yeah I forgot, you can only pick two from the list above.

Better yet POR-15 and it'll be done forever!! Lovin the color! Did you paint match the center of the wheels?

at least the Z is still in the garage.

Thanks Joel! I picked a set up from Summit.

Sweet.....DAWG!!!!!

Look into soda blasting I found many in my tri-state area. This is the route that I will go. http://www.chesapeakesodaclean.com/

Would it be off of Ol' D/M Blvd. Mike we need to see a pic of this Z?

I have never owned any before. I have been searching like crazy for a good all in one or a wrench set. Are there manufacturers to stay away from? Do you get what you pay for or are they all the same? Long Adjustable Short Adjustable Singles Angle Head Sets I have about $400 in fittings that I don't want to screw up. Thanks!

The Associated Press Thursday, August 7, 2008 MILAN, Italy : Andrea Pininfarina, the chief executive of the Italian car design firm founded by his grandfather that counts Ferraris and Alfa Romeos among its creations, died Thursday in a road accident near the northern Italian city of Turin. Pininfarina was driving a scooter along a provincial highway when he struck a car whose driver failed to stop at an intersection, Luigi Semenzato, the police chief in the town of Trofarello south of Turin , told Sky Tg24 television news. The driver "didn't see the Vespa coming," Semenzato told Sky. Pininfarina, 51, was the third generation to run Pininfarina SpA, founded in 1930 by his grandfather Battista "Pinin" Farina — who combined his nickname and last name to create the company's name and new family name. Pininfarina SpA has designed cars for Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Cadillac and Volvo, among many others, but is perhaps most closely associated with Ferrari, designing nearly all of Ferrari's models since the 1950s. They include the convertibles California Spider and Daytona Spider. Andrea Pininfarina took over as CEO in 2001, and in 2006 also became chairman of the board of directors, a position previously held by his father, Sergio Pininfarina, who is a senator for life in the Italian parliament. Andrea Pininfarina studied mechanical engineering at the Polytechnic of Turin and started his career in the United States with Freuhauf Corp. in 1982, before returning to the family business a year later. He was a frequent visitor to Ferrari headquarters and nurtured close relationships with the technical experts. He was also a former vice president of the Confindustria industrial lobby, and his death was felt throughout the business community. "Italy, Turin and the entire Fiat Group have lost a symbol of entrepreneurialism, a man who carried on, and introduced innovations to, the work of his grandfather Pinin and his father Sergio," Fiat chairman and Ferrari President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, a former Confindustria president, said in a statement. Pininfarina is survived by his wife and three children, according to Italian media reports. There was no immediate announcement of funeral arrangements.

I'll give it a try once I commence firing. Worse case I put the 42# in. Thanks,

Ok now I am confused Kevin. You told me in a PM that you are running 14#, now we are at 16#. Anyways, Tim and Tony. I do have Mr. Injector 14# and Bosch 42# "Green Top" and NISMO 550cc. When I originally talked to Kevin at Extrudabody I told him I was going to use my NISMO 550cc and that is what started our conversation of what he has and what I would need to down grade too. So at first I could not find the 14# that he spoke of so I ordered 42#. I'd like to use my NISMO's once the turbo goes on but they dont' make rails for the Nissan style injectors only for Bosch-style injectors or Pico-style injectors. Kevin ended up finding them through Mr. Injector and I bought the #14 which are in there now. So I guess the 42# are going in... The plan is the ITB's will move over to the 810 once i figure out what intake manifold I am going to use on the Z. I have a N42 non-EGR or I'll go with a bandmzcars.com custom intake or something along this line to bring me to my 400-450rwhp level? All this is a progression from the SU's, ITB's to what the turbo setup will have. I am also dynoing along the way so I can see the gains rather than guessing and feeling them. Isky *Lift 490 intake, Lift 480 exhaust *290 intake duration, 280 exhaust duration *1/14 lobe center

After a fantastic recommendation by 1tuffz in conjunction with a vacation to visit family and see Niagara Falls...again I took an 8 hour road trip up to Lancaster New York to Classic Tube. Well a month later this is what I received back... New and old are in there. I also found a plating place in my home town that took care of all my suspension bolts (260+ pieces) for $100 shipped! Can't beat that.

I am about two weeks behind in posting pictures since putfile decided to stop allowing me upload my pictures. After I successfully uploaded new photos it shows the photos that I listed in my last successful attempt. Anyways, I submitted a "trouble ticket" on the 4th and have yet to hear anything. So I opened up a photobucket account in the meantime. Saturday the 26th of July A friend of mine and his mother in law came over and sorted through the SDS wiring and they both started to run the harness and had to cut there day short do to other obligations. After they left I did some more wire management and mounted the resistor and coil packs. I had to order a fuel pump and electric fan relay from SDS. Also I ordered as a back up another GM knock sensor. I was told by Ross at SDS that I can run the stock knock sensor so I may track a new one down since I don't want to modify the block to accept the GM knock sensor. Follow so far...good? Here are some pics as well as the GM boogered up knock sensor verses the Nissan one which has two prongs. I also had to order one spark plug wire from Scott Performance Wire since I had one that was 1.5" too short. Saturday the 2nd of August Chris Rummel came over and gave me a hand. We dropped the stock 240Z gas tank, installed Billet Speciality Optima Battery Mount, mounted the ground and dropped the positive down for now. Then we installed the modified 240Z gas tank complete with dual 1/2 pipe thread feed and return, baffled and sumped by Moyer Gas Tank. Thanks again Chris for the help!! I ordered some Raychem DR-25 high temp heat shrink tubing in various diameters along with Raychem injector harness high temp heat shrink boots for the SDS harness. I also picked up a Taurus electric fan with shroud and harness from the junkyard for $35 with a lifetime warranty. I also had my down pipe welded with an 02 sensor bung. Next weekend I will finish running the positive battery cable to the front, make a plate for the rear fuel pump mount, work on swapping out the stock ZX crank pulley for the modified NISMO/SDS pulley with the magnets installed on the rear for the hall sensor. Still some little things as well however the list is getting shorter!! I won't need the GM Knock sensor after getting it from SDS I found a junked 280ZXT in the junkyard and looked at the harness. It looks like it has a red and black wire (power and ground I assume) using standard bullet connectors. Pete Paraska had a great comment to me in an email Thanks for the great advice Pete! So I did some research and found a site that makes custom cables since I can't find anyone local or summit/jegs to buy another long black 2 gauge wire without spending $70+ on a set.Here is the site http://www.custombatterycables.com I just sent him an email lets see how this goes. He also makes 280Z cables but I don't need no stinking NOS parts!! I am thinking of having him make me a 2 wire negative set using a flag terminal. One to the chassis and one to the starter bolt. Hell they have a 12 ton hydraulic crimper and seal the ends. The only draw back is this guy does it part time so it might take 1-2 weeks. On the headlight side I have AutoPal H4 with Dave Irwin's headlight upgrade harness and parking light upgrade harness and I did the ZX alternator upgrade. I think if I ground the block I will be good to go. I also have a dedicated 4 gauge wire that runs from the starter to a 20 amp in line fuse to a 6 gang distribution block with 8 gauge outs. I plan on splitting some of those down to run gauges, SDS, wide band 02, and other accessories.

Thoughts and prayers with you and yours.

Dealer is NLA as you know. Bosch part# 00801 if you can find it. Good Luck,

4 prong or 2 prong?

ahh memories.

Not a problem here is a picture reference. Also here is a '74 260Z electrical diagram in a picture: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/wiringdiagrams/74_260z_manual_wire.gif here is a pdf version (right click save as): http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/wiringdiagrams/74_260Z_wiring.pdf
