z_cars_rule Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 i dont think that there is any fuel injected 260, i think someone stuffed up by putting the e there. In australia we didnt get the 280Z, we only got the 240Z, 260Z, then went straight to the S130s. So our 260Z ran from when the 240Z stopped up until '80.

JMortensen Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 LCA = lower control arm UCA = upper control arm TC rod = tension compression rod or strut rod SFC = subframe connector EDIT - moved to FAQ forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getoffmyinternet Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 See, I thought this would be like a blogronym thread. That's what I need, I've figured out so far FWIW = for what it's worth What the crap does IMO stand for? LOL Oh, P.S. LOL = Laugh out loud lqtm = laugh quietly to myself (more truthful version of lol) Okay sorry to hijack, please continue... Did you get AAC? I can't remember what it actually stands for, when the engine manual refers to it using a full name, it usually says idle air control or something, odd.
