    Side mirrors that don't suck

    in Miscellaneous Tech

    Posted

    I noticed on the Pegasus Racing mirrors (single pole dual ball joint style) they all have set screws on the ball joints, which I would assume keep things tightened up. Anyone tried them yet? For the color scheme and overall look I am going for on my car, the carbon fiber shell single stalk mirrors would work well IMO. Hoping someone else has dished out 250 buxors and can give feed back first ;)

    240Z Tank Modification

    Yep, took it for a test drive down to the gas station to fill it up and check for leaks. All's good! The pump is SOOO much quieter than the external!

    Just what I wanted to hear (pun intended). Great work!

     

    Chris, I have read his stuff over the years, lots of good info for sure.

    Rewiring my 260

    in Ignition & Electrical

    I did the EZ wiring kit on my car.  One thing that was suggested to me that I'm glad I listened to was to get one with more circuits than you think you need- that way you have some extra circuits to wire things in with that you forgot about, and also for later use if you decide to put a stereo in or something like that.  Definitely get yourself a nice crimping tool for non-insulated terminals, a good assortment of non-insulate blade terminals and an assortment of non-insulated ring terminals, an assortment of grommets, a good amount of heat shrink tubing, some corrugated plastic wiring tubing (I bought this at the hardware store), lots of electrical tape, lots of the non-adhesive cloth tape for wrapping up your wiring, and a bunch of variously sized zip ties.  All of these things really come in handy and it's better to have it to begin with than to get it piece by piece as you're doing it. You're also going to want to have a good soldering iron and solder on hand, as well as a multimeter that has a continuity (or OHM) setting.  The most difficult part of this wiring is the combination switches, and mine were all worn out so I just got a universal turn signal lever/switch and that made life a lot easier.  Since you already have a V8 in the car your wiring will be a bit easier, as they are basically designed for v8's.  Give yourself quite a bit of time to do this, it takes forever and is very tedious and your back, brain, and arms will be sore from all the different positions you're going to be trying to feed wiring the right way and what not.  That being said though the EZ wire kit is actually pretty nice, the wiring is good quality, the box itself is nice, and there is plenty of length on almost all the wires to work in our little cars.

     

    Any more information on the combination switch? Pics, part numbers, etc :)

    powder coat to paint match

    in Body Kits & Paint

    Posted

    When I did powdercoating back in the day, most of the colors are a RAL# setup, I have never seen it by paint code, just by hue and such. Seems there would be a ton of factors involved getting the same color as paint. A lot of trial and error since it needs to cure to get the wanted color. If you find something, please post it up!

    Skillard s30 bumper deletes and 280z door cards

    in Group Buys

    Posted

    Ok, got my deletes in today. Nice item, well put together and easy to install (from what I can tell, I am working with a completely torn apart car). They will fit the 240Z, but you will have to drill a 3rd hole in front of the 2 existing holes. Maybe one of the others that got in on the buy will have a put together car to get some pics and such for you guys,
