I am probably going as a flasher. Ill get a large over coat, and make 'censored' signs and attach them to a black bikini. Let the flashing begin!!!!

AHAHAHA, that is awesome.

I agree with Wizard, I would paint the flares and spoiler black.

I had a 2wd Tacoma for a long time, a great little beater truck. Until one day a 25ft box truck hit me just about head on going around 55mph. No more truck but I still have the Z, and an Eclipse as my DD

Whats even worse is watching someone crash your bike:

So true....

Very nice!! I have an SV650 Standard(among many other motorcycles), that was recently crashed by my roommate Got to love the twins though! I cant wait to do a track day(on my ZX6R). I have too many projects to afford one, so I just ride the Gap(US-129: 318 curves in 11 miles) if I am feeling the need for some adrenaline. I live about 40 minutes from the Gap, if I ever feel like punishing the Z maybe Ill take her up there one day.....

I love the car!!!!! Do you have a picture of the interior tail light section? I am interested in seeing what you did with that part....

So, when I used a chain with a bunch of nuts and bolts to clean the tank I tweaked the outlet. There is a tube going into the tank that allows for the pump to pick up fuel on the bottom of the tank. Well apparently I bent it up too much and it was barely picking up fuel, hence the gurgling of the pump. Lesson: if you are going to use a chain to clean your tank, make sure you dont mess with the tubing or make sure you fix it before the tank goes back in. Damn, it only took me an hour to take the tank out, figure out what was wrong, fix it, and put it back in. I am awesome! Thank you to all that helped!

Well it is definitely something wrong with the tank. I took the line to the pump from the tank, and put the end in a jug of gas and the fuel filter filled up fast. So it has to be something in the tank. Looks like Im spending another weekend with my beloved gas tank.... I wish I had more time to work on the car. School sucks

Thats ok. Its the thought that counts. Thanks for trying

I dont think the lines can be switched. I looked and the bottom outlet is larger as is the hose to the fuel pump. The outlet on the top is smaller as is the line for the return... I switched them just to see, but nothing happened. Still no fuel. Any other ideas?

I could have swore the bottom one was feed, oh well I will check it out tonight. I wish the service manual was a bit clearer, it shows the feed and return line next to each other instead of stacked.... Thanks for the info, I will let you know how it goes...

I just took the line from the tank to the pump (the outlet on the bottom of the two facing the front, correct me if Im wrong) and nothing came out. I took the gas cap off and can blow in the line and feel it coming out the filler neck. Im not sure whats going on. Help

Ok so when I first got my 72 240z, I had to change the fuel filters every two days. So I decided to clean out the gas tank. It is a short term fix until I can put in a fuel cell. I pulled a ton of nasty stuff out of the tank, including about 1sqft of what looked like used to be the tank liner. Reinstalled tank, but now I am not getting fuel. The pump is a universal electric pump. It works well, I pulled it off and cleaned it out as well. I can turn the fuel pump on and I took the fuel filter off and I can hear the gas 'gurgling' in the line, gas barely spalshes out sometimes. If I cover the line with my finger I can feel the pump building pressure, but no gas.... There is about 7-8 gallons of fresh gas in the tank. Could I have messed something up in the tank. I checked and none of the hoses are crimped. Any suggestions? Thanks

So incredibly random. I love it.

Yeah Im pretty sure it was the fuel filter. Its not the stock style, its a smaller in line one. I changed it, and the problem was alleviated for a while, then it started acting up again. I checked the fuel filter and it was dirty again. It had only been a day and a half and about 30 miles..... Definitely going to be cleaning the tank, and getting a better filter. Thank you again for your help. As always, it is much appreciated.

Thank you guys. Today I dont have school or work, so its going to be all about the Z. Thank you again

I just bought a 72 240Z. I was driving it to school today, driving normally keeping with traffic. Then a huge loss of power. It felt like half of the cylinders cut out. So I pulled off the road, and sat pondering for a bit. I started it and it ran just fine. About 10 minutes later did the same thing. I pulled off the road let it sit for about 2 minutes, then started right up and ran fine. Stock from what I know, has stock SU carbs Im not really sure whats going on. Someone said it might be vapor lock, but Ive read a couple of posts and stuff about it, and it doesnt sound like what my problem. Any suggestions?

Agreed. Its only worth what someone is willing to pay. Definitely a nice car though

Be careful, ink is addicting.... I continually finding myself wanting more and more. P.S. it looks sweet!

Beautiful car!!!

Im definitely interested! Keep it up!

Yeah the nitrogen fad is starting to invade motorcycling as well..... I have guys coming in to the shop every once in a while asking for it. I just might start supplying it to make some extra cash.
