  1. 280 zx weatherstripping works as well on s-30's. It just needs to be cut, 4-6" removed, and reglued to make it one piece again.
  2. They work and look good and cost about $1.00 each. We'll see how long they last 'cause underhood heat + 30 year old plastic= shred city.
  3. It's okay, it's just a car; easily replaced. Glad you're alright...
  4. If you fixed these and rechromed them you could probably get a bunch of money. There's a company that is making stainless repros and they list for like $1000.00(!)
  5. I started with some sandpaper I had maybe 100 grit. Way too abrasive. Finished with 220 grit. They even make a 320 or maybe even some wetsanding paper. I finished with a hard grade buffing wheel on my angle grinder with some buffing compound which was green for high gloss materials. In between buffings I treated the aluminum with oven cleaner. It's real easy once you find your method.
  6. I was speaking of myself and my tendency toward obsession.
  7. Yeah it was easy to understand how that could become an obsession...
  8. Thanks. I was thinking about that and it's really funny 'cause I just sold one!! That's what happens when I don't plan. I guess I could junk yard, I got nothing but time right now.
  9. "It takes a big man to cry, And it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man." Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey...
  10. I would check the TPS as well. If it is malfunctioning it can alter the air/ fuel mix. It's easy to fix.
  11. If I had to do it all over again I would not work with my hands to make a living.
  12. See the thread below this one for a bargain door seal solution.
  13. That's a great tip, there is a sticky thread in miscellaneous tech title "Budget repairs or upgrades for your Z". This would be great in that.
  14. Sure I can't sell ya a green one???
  15. I like the minimalism of your customization.
  16. There is a drivers' side JDM light cover up on Ebay now. Price seems kind of steep though...
  17. I had an el cheapo Ebay carbon fiber muffler and it leaked exhaust out the side and looked cool though. I am back to steel now.
  18. You can find knockoffs online for cheap... Try Craigslist.
