[Introducing myself and my 240...]

welcome (again)

[Fuse Box Relocation]

might as well run the VQ block. it's already located under the hood and has a cap with labels. even if you're running MS, you still want stuff fused and can fuse it through the same way. AAMOF, that will prevent you from having to run wires ALL the way through.

[240z front clip replacement - to do or not to do?]

wow, sounds like MUCH more of a task/expense than just getting a rust-free shell and working from that.

[Fuse Box Relocation]

it should. i personally would go with one of the replacement ones from MSA so that i knew what all the fuses were to

[Best way to achieve piston to head clearance?]

i think that the thicker head gasket comes into play if the block is milled MORE than the .25mm (i'm assuming that milling the block is necessary)

[Fuse Box Relocation]

Just mount the fuse box where I want it and extend the wiring to reach?

 

that's what i would say. since i relocated my battery to the rear, i have a terminal block mounted to the firewall where that battery once resided. i checked out a 510 for the wife and noticed that the fusebox was right in that same area! seems like a good place to put a modern-style blade fusebox....

[Kid gets his Harry Potter book stolen at the release last night]

damn, all that for a $20 book you can get at target right now..... lol

[Cronicles of the Ultimate Road Trip - Cross Country in a 510 (Super Long)]

wow, nice read! must've been a great experience!

 

btw, we're gonna have to chat about 510s some time..... the wife wants a new car...

[do you have to put the chrome molding when replacing windshield?]

yes you need it. it keeps the windshield from popping out of the weatherstrip.

 

you could paint it tho...

 

ditto

[Some advice please! (pictures)]

a note on the AREs i mentioned: i found the classic slot mag-style at pepboys for $500 for all 4 15x10s!

[What about the Jeep Strait 6 ?]

i would think it would be too tall

[Some advice please! (pictures)]

find some ARE (american racing) wheels. some good ones from them.

[Factory Refreshed 240z's]

be careful with the "f-word"

[Check out this weird turbo...]

i was thinking maybe in one side and out the other...?

[Has rust won the battle?]

^if it's from zed findings, it's going to be a quality part. IIRC almost every company that sells floorpan replacements gets them from ZF.

[Choice between a Protege and Echo]

GET A STICK. otherwise it will eventually feel like a slug

[True HID Lighting]

haha, i was just saying that FTW means for the win, and i quoted carfan's answer as the truth..... somewhat of a stretch, but i'm known for that

 

anyway, hidplanet is a GREAT resource

[Has rust won the battle?]

i want to have a license plate that says HATE FEO...... of course it's missing the "2".....

[Choice between a Protege and Echo]

between the 2, PROTEGE

[speedo cable]

looks like there are speedo gears (thought so). it more than likely needs to be replaced. i'd fix that kink, too.
