Very nice! Jeff (Guyandaredhead on here) has done a GSX-R filler door that looks similar. Jealous of both of you. I don't have the guts to do that myself .

Good Idea! There HAS to be some guys on here that work for NISSAN, Right????

9000 Employee's!!!??? In ONE PLANT??? Where do you work? Holy CRAP!

Mid Last year I broke even to where I was in 01 with 20% gains. So I am happy with the measly 6% so far this year sort of....

No problems here, I am TOO efficient for the crap I have to do. SO lot's of down time unless i get to work on projects I like.

Those are going to get people killed. Funny though...

Looks interesting, is it easy to use? I could have used one about 3-4 months ago on the xplorer. 2300 is kind of hard to swallow though! I had a little shop down the road diagnose the problem for 35 duckets (GTA 3 speak). They were really cool about doing just the diagnosis for me, and I sourced and changed the parts myself. Maybe I am just lucky to have a shop like that close, but for 35-50 bucks for a diagnosis, I could go for quite a while to have to justify that.

Would have been funnier if they included her rant, if she did. And I agree, not sure what makes her dumb.... BAM

What is double secret Probation? Is that a term actually used by the board?

that's the car to run in that AMERICAN V8 Series!

I am wondering the same. I would like to use the TOB for simplicity... Will be watching...

pparaska also has them on his site...

Very carefully.... ...insert a metal cutting blade into your sawzall and get at it.... JK. Probably need to dump the freon or what ever, could take it to a shop to be enviro friendly. Then just start removing all the parts, condensor, pump, and all that stuff...

So would internal engine components work better if they retained all the energy that that material seems to? Watch the steel ball bounce test on the site. It seems that there could be some harmonic issues or something... Cool stuff, you can injection mold it!!!

So we would be able to do this all around the car not just front? Or will we still need to section rear struts if we want to be lowered and keep full travel? Sounds interesting, can't wait to see pics... BTW, I need to see pics to know what the heck you all are talking about. I am a very visual/hands on learner...

More pics of the Hood! Have any pics of the car with all appendages closed and on the ground?

I think you can find them here... http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Datsun_Z_V-8.html Sorry, couldn't resist....

I as well enjoy this plethora of content! How is everything Grumpy? Was beginning to think you left us for another forum...

Dunno, but I agree with you, things are going to get really ugly at some point.

my 260 does, i though that was the stock proportioning valve. Mine has an electric lead for ??? Just input here, i have no real idea of what it is or does with out a book in front of me.

Thanks David Most of the pain is gone. Still saddened but he was so sick, I believe he is better off now. It's tough, but we're making it

Thanks Jeff. I am feeling better but it's still 'wierd'. I will holler at you soon, you still WAY busy at work?

Wow, what a long and exhausting day! I have to say that the funeral really helped with closure. Thank you ALL for your heartfelt replies! I know I have made some really great friends at this site, even though I have only met less than a handfull face to face . The last few days, in seeing his friends and family and hearing all the " 'ol Pete" stories, made me remember who he was before he was sick. He was a good guy with a good heart that had some hard times. The funeral was a huge part of the closure. Afterwards we sat down with some of the people that he had grown up with and had coffe, and as they shared stories, I felt him there and got the sence that he was there, in the stories they told. The pain is gone from my heart and I know he is better off now. Thanks again guy's.

My dad, who is pretty much responsible for ALL of my mechanical interests and most of my abilities...passed away last week. Today my little brother and I washed his car and drove around town listening to his Otis Redding CD's getting it ready for the funeral tomorrow, and I felt like I needed to share with you all why I even have a Z project... Dad was a jet mechanic in the AF just before Vietnam and was a many things between that time and when I was born. As I grew up he was prodominatly a Dump Truck Driver here in OK, mosly hauling everything that had to do with building roads. He was probably one of the best in this area, and was usually given the title of leadman and looked to for guidence by his co-drivers. As to his being responcible for my mechanical abilities... he FORCED me to help him fix anything and everything around the cars and house while I grew up. I hated just about every moment of it. In recent years I have grown to apretitate the fact that at the age of 10 he had me in the engine bay, literally, of vehicles getting things that he couldn't reach, and crawling under the house fixing busted pipes before I was in middle school. He made me change my own bike tires, and I did alot of those since curbs were my enemy After a while I was trying to fix stuff myself and taking things apart and he would always bring me something home from a thrift store or what ever to take apart and play with. So I would just like to thanks, Dad, for what you have given me, a knowledge and respect for all things mechanical and for always letting me know that you love me an that he are proud of me. I know you wern't perfect, but who is. I love you and may you rest in peace.

first click on the head light switch should only get you 'parking' lights, second is when the head lights com on. As for the Hazards, i think you can run them to a toggle like the original z used, or at least min did.
