I recently swapped my standard NGKs w/ NGK Iridium IX and noticed a considerable difference in performance w/ smoother idle & acceleration.

PM sent; Sold.

Have you checked MSA? http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/SWR01

Next in line; shipped to 32405?

I came across these from the pics of MSA's Z Fest 2009; are these vent 'scoops' available after-market or were they fabricated? I don't recognize them as being 'stock' or available anywhere. Fitted to a 280Z.

I was browsing the MSA pics of this year's Z Fest and came across these seats and wondered if anyone knew what they were... I'm sure quite expensive but just curious. The CF backing makes me think Viper?

You could mimic the side (sliding) 'curtain' windows found on vintage British cars, i.e., original minis, sprites, etc.

Looks GREAT! I like your idea on the Type III skirt trim; I'll have to check it out Friday at the (DNI) Hotel!

That man may have a future in drifting!

This car is possessed! It ran beautifully all day yesterday and oil pressure was ~65 psi at start up (within a min or two) and sustained that pressure all day under all drivings conditions. It only varied ±5 psi on deceleration/acceleration at stoplights.

Most encouraging, thanks! I think I'll still replace it for piece of mind.

My bad, I read it again and it just says to drain oil and remove splash pan. My brain was focused on a picture of the oil pan bolt tightening sequence on the opposite page. Sounds/looks easy enough, thanks!

I don't mind and prefer replacing the pump if it's fairly easy to do; according to the service manual it appears simple enough ensuring #1 is TDC before dropping the pan and removing the pump--fill new pump w/ oil and allign the marks on the shaft(s) w/ the distributor. Is that all there is to it?

So is the pressure suppose to hold steady or does yours drop at all when coming to a stoplight? Mine will fluctuate within the range stated above and occasionally drop below ~15-20 psi or go up as high as ~75-80 psi and stay for a period before settling in the middle ~45 psi. It's all over the place I tell ya...

^^ bump I've replaced the oil pressure switch and the gauge is now stable; pressure is ~15-20 psi at idle (engine warm) and ~40-45 psi under power. I'm still not convinced the pump is bad but I don't have a benchmark to compare my readings to. What is the 'normal' oil pressure range for the L28 (NA)? Btw--the whine noise disappeared after a fresh oil change using Mobil1 15-50w (previously had Mobile1 5-30w w/ conventional mixed from mechanic that diagnosed a bad pump as oil level was low at the time). Please help as I'm trying to ensure I don't blow this thing up driving it to DNI next week. Thanks in advance....

Carpet is out and the floor is perfect, no rust and solid as a rock. Started some minor body work, grinding & Duraglass body filler on rear quarter and driver's side rocker & door. Changing out fuel pump next to get car running; we've been anxiously awaiting to hear the dual exhaust & headers .
