    And your control arms are at a negative angle, which is not how the suspension was designed to run. Like 260DET said, getting it on and functional and having a grafted suspension that's in its proper ride height range are two very different things.

    Are those Recaro LS-Bs recovered in falsa blankets? That's really cool

    If it's about making a Z into an EV, I would suggest putting it in the Other Engines forum. If it's not related to Zs at all, Non-technical seems to be the "off topic" forum.

    I would just put a surge tank in. Since the Chump rules don't let you modify stock fuel tanks you can't legally do anything like a Hydramat or a cage.

    So this will include just the bracket and e-brake cable, correct? I am interested

    You have to donate money once to the site to start a new topic in the For Sale area. It's to keep bots from spamming. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/125970-diesel-l28-engine-value/ That's a different discussion where someone actually gives a value.

    I thought the reduction came at 26?

    I think Tony was just making a joke that flange on the collector side looks like a Batarang.

    That's very possible, but it wasn't how it was applied in this instance. It could have just been a tech inspector being extra picky or misinterpreting the requirement. I agree that it makes sense to keep the instructor or passenger just as protected as the driver.

    Similarly, there are some organizations that, if a car has a passenger seat, require the passenger harness to be the exact same as the driver harness. So if you have a $500 Schroth on the driver side, a $70 G-Force belt isn't sufficient for the passenger. If you go with the $70 belt on both sides, though, you're just peachy. It makes no sense at all.

    The usual places have "OEM" cables for $160+. Zcardepot also stocks a reproduction cable for $86.

    I'm not able to find the 4th edition through the normal sources. Where did you guys order from?

    If you jack the car up it's not too bad to get a long screwdriver or pry bar into the latch and just pry the release arm over. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/107117-howto-release-a-240z-hood-when-cable-broken/

    DZ Start Button

    Looks to me like he filled the cracks and repainted. It might be my imagination, but there seems to be remnants of the cracks over the center gauge cluster.

    Normally accessories like this that connect via wifi have their own network. Many action cameras sync with phones via wifi, and you can do that anywhere.

    Do you have one? I'm in LA and could use a clean hood.

    Right, but the standard gear on the actual steering shaft is going to have a really, really hard time moving the worm gear to free-wheel the motor. It's just like how a crescent wrench doesn't open up when you're tightening a nut. The mechanical advantage is so large that it's essentially locked in place.
  19. calZ
    He was referring to the "differential" design. I've always been under the impression that the Vue setup uses the worm gear design.
  20. calZ
    How do the boxes with a worm gear work on no assist? You can't drive the worm gear with the gear on the shaft, so free-wheeling the electric motor wouldn't work. I know it works as I've seen the videos, I'm just not sure of the mechanism that allows it.

    I'm trying to get my hands on a DZ Start Button as Dave no longer makes them. I can get the button itself and any cables, so if for some reason you only have the control box that's fine too.

    I revisited this thread as I continue to plan some things out, and I noticed something. Do the windows on 280s not roll all the way down, or did you just not go all the way in your demonstration video? I know you mentioned that's why you didn't go up all the way, but I wanted to make sure that's the same case with the lower travel.

    1975 and older are exempt. 240z/280z is a legitimate preference, but the 1975 would be exempt. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/vr/smogfaq

    Did this not crop up until you put the new brakes on? Is your steering wheel on straight?
  25. calZ
    Sorry if I missed it, but what rotor/hat combo is this for? AZC hats?
