    Apparel Sale Donation Made - $1202.19

    in Announcements

    Posted · Edited by cockerstar

    Thanks to everyone that purchased a piece of apparel in the fundraiser to help @SuperDan with operating costs for the site! 

     

    We sold a total of 88 shirts with a resulting profit of $1202.19, which I just sent 100% of to Dan. It won't show as a donation because I sent it via friends and family to ensure every penny made it to him. This should cover the site's costs for about 6 months. 

     

    Moving forward, I'll be doing an annual apparel sale with 100% being donated towards operating expenses. Each year we'll do a different promotional item since many of you now have several HybridZ shirts in your closet! Looking forward to hearing your ideas on what you'd like to see along with the shirts. Hats, beanies, keychains, stickers, etc all come to mind.

    Thanks for the warm wishes guys. 

    Everything has shipped unless I've contacted you separately about a backordered color! If I had a partial backorder I went ahead and shipped what I had already.

    Savage42, OldAndyAndTheSea, evildky, ss260, and 74_5.0L_Z all have things we're waiting on. 

    If anyone knows DatsunDoug in person, can they remind him to log on and pay? I decided to order his items since he hadn't read his PM, but he hasn't logged on since then. I have an XL black T and a L asphalt T ready to ship if anyone wants them :P

    I guess I'm completely overthinking this! I only have 240Zs and haven't worked on the later chassis. That's exactly where I was considering running them, but was concerned about them being exposed to road debris. 

    Thats the factory location for 280Zs?

    Thanks for sharing such excellent photos!

    I'm in the process of running -6 (3/8") Cunifer hardlines for a new feed and return and was intending to run them in the stock location, but that's going to involve dropping the transmission at a minimum. I'm working alone right now on jack stands, and have a chronically injured wrist, so dropping the trans really doesn't sound like fun. 

    Has anyone ran fuel lines somewhere other than the non-stock location? I was considering running them next to the frame rails inside some side of conduit, maybe framing channel. The frame rail would still be the lowest point on the car would, but I'm concerned about road debris getting kicked up and damaging the lines, hence the conduit. Framing channel / Unistrut came to mind so that any moisture could drain out. Rain is the norm in the Pacific Northwest.

    My other thought was running them inside the cabin in a solid conduit, but I'm still concerned about shearing at the bulkheads in the event of a serious wreck. I know several OEMs run fuel lines inside the passenger compartment, but my gut is telling me that fuel inside isn't wise. I was browsing tech requirements from several different racing bodies as a guideline and the acceptability seems to be mixed. 

    Jeromio did an excellent job running them inside of a new frame rail here:

     

    Any advice?

    How about those flat rates from USPS? You can also print shipping labels through PayPal. They offer free tracking number.

     

    My original shipping quotes I used were for the flat rate boxes. I've used them in the past, but they're pretty expensive now. 

     

    I would almost recommend the bags. Those flat rate boxes end up pretty expensive since people started to abuse them shipping heavy weights and stuff.

     

    I'll look into the bags. It seems like that's what a lot of online clothing stores are using now. At least that's what is always on the porch for my wife  :lol:

    High fuel pressure after fuel pump swap..

    The stock 240z return line is definitely too small. Your FPR can only do it's job if it's the most restrictive part of the flow path. I grabbed a roll of -6 cunifer line on eBay that I'll be running this weekend for both my feed and return. Since I'm going to start with a high pressure pump down-regulated to 3psi for SUs I'm wishing I would have gone with -8 since I'm concerned the -6 is going to be too restrictive.
