Watching it right now. Story doesn't look too strong but will probably watch it anyways as I was a big fan of Knight Rider back in the days. The voice of the new KITT is Val Kilmer.

Awesome video like always...extremely impressed with how your car is running. I agree, get those venoms flow tested to see where they are at. If they are good or decent, run them or at least until you can get reliable injectors. Trash them if they are way off and stable the Z until you can get some good injectors. Keep the good times coming.

Thanks for the heads up Stony, I must've missed the thread, if there was one, of your plans changing and buying the black Z. The car looks good. Can't wait to see vids of it with your RB setup. Too bad that you had to waste all that time with the shop to end up doing this. Good luck.

This is the car you have been building up right...wasn't the car red? That was the color of the car I see in the build-up pics. Or is this another car? Just wondering.

Nice exhaust, especially compared to that sewer pipe setup you had before LOL. I needed to weld something today and I had set everything up to realize that I left the bottle valve open the last time I welded something and there must be a small leak somewhere because I lost all the argon in the bottle...damn. No supplier is open on Sunday, as far as I know, so I have to take care of this during the week. Oh well...I have to remember to shut the valve next time and I need to look for leaks.

I new it was a trick, but it is always amusing to see what aux is up to. Didn't really mind it though since i'm into 80's music anyways and am not offended by that song...LOL I always thought it was amazing how that voice comes out of that little guy.

Nice looking car. I see it has an Amsoil dual bypass filter setup. With that filter setup and Amsoil oil, the engine should be running good for a long time. I use Amsoil products in my vehicles and seriously recommend them.

I saw that ad this morning and was going to post it, glad I checked first and didn't double-post it. He must've just put those wheels and tires on there for kicks. He couldn't possibly have been driving it that way.

Which Optima were you using...red, yellow, or blue. I bought two yellows off of Ebay and haven't had any problems with them. I've had them at least 3-4 years. I also have a blue one that I kept from a truck that I sold. I didn't buy the red because it is sealed like the yellow and blue but is not a deep cycle battery and will begin to fail, like conventional batteries, if it is drained. The yellow and blue, blue is a marine battery, are supposed to be able to handle repeated deep cycling.

I found a yard full of Zs on Craigslist. Looks like they are selling complete cars and parts. There is a Pantera style hatch on the yellow one. I have not contacted them. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/car/521242419.html They also have these two other ads. 1971 240Z, Auto-cross car, race prepped, L-28 W/E3100 head, RA-Jay turbo W/600 Holly, Mallory Dist + MSD Ign W/spark retard & Adj.

Saw that before, but worth seeing again and again...

I recently found allexperts.com. They have experts on many topics from music to applicances to almost anything. I searched your problem and came up with this: http://en.allexperts.com/sitesearch.htm?terms=whirlpool+ultimate+aggitate Some of pages were not available when i clicked them. They might be later. You can also post your own questions. I recently had my run of problems with my kenmore calypso washer. These washers have had alot of problems, to the point that there was recently a class-action suit against them. I was able to fix mine though. Good luck.

I've had two 79 280ZXs. The first ended up going to the junkyard when the motor went south and I didn't want it taking up space at my parent's house. The second one I sold to someone on this forum after I bought my 71 240Z. The guy screwed me and never paid me the $450 that he still owes me. The guy has problems anyways, it was obvious that life has screwed him in many ways. I also had a 72 240Z parts car and now have a 78 280Z parts car. Total 2 - ZXs and 3 - Zs.

No problem. Did you see, I updated my signature...LOL. Let me know how it goes.

You must be putting down alot of power for it to shorten your wheelbase and warp your front wheels like that...LOL

It doesn't slow me down. I've cut the grass, put up a shed, worked on cars, etc...just put on some sunscreen, keep hydrated, and keep on going. LOL

These guys are nuts and it looks like sheer luck they aren't plowing through people on the side of the streets. Well they probably aren't showing the videos when they crash. I did see extensive front end damage on one of the cars.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my garage but was wondering if my neighbors behind me would mind. LOL

I voted for the vette but was thinking M3 if you need a car with room for more than 2, but yeah, for overall performance and value...it's hard to beat a vette.

Those are two nice looking Zs (ULISES and BayAreaZT). Makes me miss driving my 71. I need to go see some guy about a 78 280Z. Story is that he had the car since 87 drove it until 91, bought a new car and parked the Z in the garage, and hasn't drove it since. The guy is a friend's buddy and he told me I can have the Z. The only issue is that he lost the pink slip and is lazy about going to the DMV even though his wife is getting on his back about getting rid of it. Does anyone know if it would be easy for me to go and title it without the owner's help? I heard that cars are dropped off the DMV system after like 5 years of not being titled and there wouldn't be any late fees. Is this true?

The donkey then

I feel sorry for your loss. PM sent

That is an awesome shoehorn job...LMAO over the fake luggage. Gives of the "I have jet lag and a car full of luggage" impression, "I couldn't beat you even if I wanted to. LOL

I feel your pain...well i did back before we bought the house. We lived in the second story (separate apartment) of my in-laws house and was worried about working on my Z. My father-in-law is really uptight, mother-in-law is cool, and didn't want to piss him off. LOL Now I just have to find time to work on the Z. Too much house crap to do. Good luck Mike...and those are quite a few purty parts you got there. Where's the Hulk at? I don't see it in any of the pics.
