Not sure I can do next week as I was trying to replace my thermostat earlier. The thermostat housing stripped and the bolts just turn in place now... ugh my cars dead in the water until I can find another thermostat housing.

Ill check and see if i still have an extra. Have you ever used a helicoil? I think thats what its called. You drill the stripped hole, tap it to a larger size, then insert a metal thread that is stock size. I had to do it on a header bolt. They come in a comllete package.

I was thinking of going the helicoil route but I'm not sure if there would be enough room to drill/tap. I'm also weary of the housing itself as upon closer inspection it seems to have had better days. I'd rather try to get a replacement first before I try repairing it.

I've been trying to source another one and I think I may have found one so if I can pick it up hopefully my car will be running soon.

I got my car up and running! Bad part is I still think its slowly overheating... I think I need a new rad...

Does anyone want to try to grab lunch tomorrow? If I keep it local I can still drive the Z for a bit.

I'm heading to Street night tomorrow at New England dragway with some friends. I'd be nice to see some other Z guys if anyones available!

Hey all I know its super last minute but my friends and I decided to go to the UTI Norwood meet tomorrow.

Its for a good cause and its supposed to be a nice day for a cruise tomorrow.
My car is actually on jackstands undergoing the 240z airdam and bumper change so hopefully I can get those done before I go.

My friends and I will probably meet up around 4ish and then head over. Anyone is more than welcome to come cruise over with us.
Feel free to shoot me an email patsito@gmail.com I hope people can make it tomorrow!
