Dave - Sorry to hear and wish you the best of luck finding something soon. Hang in there, and we are here to lift your spirits whenever you need it. Regards- Yasin

Right back atcha brother, good too see you after so many years. Looking forrward to seeing you at High Plains this year. I think you need to get another Z as well Ah...I actually spoke to you, my first question to you was "Which EFI were you running?"..good to see your car and chat and I do remember the blown HG on the cowl. Glad you made it home safely. Regards - Yasin

Wow...very cool..love it, lots of trick fabricating. Yasin

Pontiac died because they went from this: to this: The company had brilliant engineers and talent and over the decades got more and more diluted with less than mediocre products, hence bringing in the Australian cars to "try" and save them as well as rebadged Chevys. GM had to be operating in a bubble if they did not know this day would come. Yasin

I completely disagree with this statement and disappointed that you feel like the show “gets lamer each yearâ€â€¦actually a little shocked. I feel like the show has improved considerably in quality and attendance over the past few years. The new location in the Canyon adjacent to the lake is awesome, there is lots of parking, it’s a quiet location and there is lots of room to bring the family, far more superior than when the show was on Collins in front of MSA’s shop. The organization for the show is simply superb, from the grouping by generation, classes and also overall layout, the booths, the vendors, food and bathroom facilities. This is an A class show. I spent well over $600 to fly out to MSA from Colorado to attend the show and really support MSA, and take in the great cars. It is always motivating and inspirational to see other gear heads with the same passion. It was great to speak briefly with Dave Coleman (from Sport Compact Car who attended), KTM (Bo), Justin (280ZForce), David K, Bernadd and Jeff Pridy, if this show went away these opportunities would cease to exist. Furthermore, to keep our hobby alive and support for these cars alive, we need to continue to support companies like MSA and other Datsun Vendors to keep making parts that Nissan have long forgotten about in order to keep our cars running let alone modifying them. BTW..I saw your car and love it and was honored to see (once again) in the metal. Maybe you are spoiled that you live in car heaven (SoCal). I am sorry that you the show did not live up to your expectations, it far surpassed mine, and I have been going to MSA since 2002 or 2003 and will continue to do so until I am crotchety old man. Regards- Yasin

It was great to see your car at MSA. Yasin

Those Libres on the car are worth a small fortune now. Nic pics!! Yasin

Congrats! Glad you got everything worked out! Yasin

Good stuff bro...glad you got them sparkly again!! I knew it would be a quick painless fix. Wink Yasin

Yup you got it! Yasin

Wow..that is simply nuts!!! Impressive. Yasin

Happy Birthday...big Kiss from Slow'N'Rusty! Yasin

Would love to see pics with a higher res camera or in th daylight. Congrats on doing this at home and great attention to detail. I hate shoddy bondo work by previous owners..argh! Yasin

Wow...you are a true hard core nutter. Would love to hear some video on this set-up. Also how much are you going to drive this car? KTM and Mayolives all raise good points in regards to noise and your tolerance for it, hopefully the Denver PD do not give you heck. Yasin

Warren - I have never heard of a "Crank Kit" for a 7M. You may need to call around and just find a used engine at a dismantler or call a JDM importer. If you do, I always pop-off the oil pan, and replace the crank bearings on a used engine for insurance. BTW...did not realize you had a kid that could drive, I was figured you were in your 20s! Godd luck! Yasin

Wow...simply incredible!!! Did you find a buyer for your car? Yasin

Daniel - As I only have 280ZX Turbos I can answer your second Question. On a newish T5 like you have (I think you said it only has a couple of hundered miles on it - correct?), only run regular (i.e non-synthetic) 75W90. Once the tranny has a thousand or so miles on it, I recommend a 75W90 or 80W90 Synthetic. If you run synthetic in it now, dollars to donuts it will grind for sure. The correct amount of fluid is 2.1L for a fill. Yasin

I'll be there this year!! Yippee

Many thanks!! I really would if I had more time. There is so much time that goes into these pods, I would have to sell them for around $250 to make any kind of money on them, I am not sure if folks are prepared to pay that? Yasin

Ferg - Try those FC pods and let us know. Yasin

This was my original thread and as an aside, I have now made two of these three gauge pods to date for the ZX. The second one I made fitted much better. Here are the latest pics: Regards - Yasin

You have to be careful with Ant products: Yasin

Doing great brother!! Great to hear from you. Yes I am following in your footsteps, big boots to fill though! Enjoying my new aquisition! Post some pics of your new AE brother! Yasin

Take a guess brother..!

Thanks fellas. Yup that ZXT is a sweetie and a great driver. The 911 in the background is trouble! Yasin
