They're stainless and extremely flexible, and they don't have the exposed slots that cut hoses. They're also not...

I agree with Zed. The hard restart at McDonalds sounds like classic hot restart stuff and likely has nothing to do with the issue that's randomly killing the engine. Zed's advice about your having...

Congrats, and well done! It looks like you really did find a great home for that Z!

Hey, even though you really can't put an air filter on the thing...

REALLY NICE FIND! Thanks! :D

I suspect a 100% US car would be just as competitive now as it was in 1991 when I bought my 100% US-built Saturn SL2 (well, actually 95%, with a few parts from Canada and a Japanese stereo). The...

Wow! Nice find. Be careful with that thing! ;)

Well, FAIW, I installed that exact same pump on a Chrysler Marine 318, and it lasted a few years before puttering away. I do think it gave the carb extra life, because I could starve the float bowl...

Carl, you raise some good points. And it's certainly worth remembering that Japan was once a purveyor of mostly cheap crap.

You say that we should speak in terms of the company and not the...

OK, not Z related, but Chinese crap related: Night before last, our security alarm kept going off in the middle of the night, until I finally had the sense not to re-arm it. The offending zone was...

I still think it's turbulence from that enormous hood ornament. LOL

The PO cut the return line for some reason, as misguided as that might have been. It might be that the return line is blocked...

My stepson is a Hokie. I'll warn him to avoid Canada for a few weeks:

If you're game for rolling your own, about $10 in parts will do the job. I have a schematic on post 35 of this thread:

Good to see you're still amongst the living and making progress! Nice play toys, Len! :)

Nah, a completely restored Z is going to be too pretty and perfect for daily use. The best DD, IMO, is a car that looks pretty good (but not perfect), maybe has a scratch or a ding or four, but is...

Well, to be clear, I was referring to YOUR steering wheel and some other woodworker. I had already acquired a donor squishy wheel for my own woodworking project... to be undertaken when I actually...

Depending on the kind of paint, you can try mineral spirits. However, that might not work much differently from the naptha. Basically, it swells up the adhesive so that you can roll it off. If you...

2SixT, that's very good karma!

Interesting thing about the brake boosters... Although a parts remanufacturer might be able to rebuild an old booster, it's probably not something that WE can do...

My 280Z is also a daily driver, although in all fairness, its owner does not drive daily! I would not hesitate to make a very old car a daily driver. However, I would caution anyone that the car...

Nah, that would be too obvious and wouldn't invoke special effects. I'm thinking this: With a calm, smug demeanor, he pops his hood and waits for the engine to cool. Then he starts up. By this...

Mmmmm.... One horsepower! Me like...

I think that's the cool-car upgrade he was demanding from DHS -- a '77 or '78 with electronic fuel injection, baby! :cool:

I'd love to see how he hacks his analog ECU to overcome a hot restart...

Very cool! I checked ebay, and there was a nice 50 psi one for about $20 used. Unfortunately you may have temporarily set that market on fire. The gauge sold in the few minutes between when I did...

No sun roof! The waitress would have to hang out the window or climb on the roof.... Oh, snap! Roof surfing! The dim-witted writer(s) really missed out on a great opportunity there!

Oh, man! That was a dumb, dumb show! Whooohoooooo..... Why is it that smart people are always portrayed this way? I've known quite a few extraordinarily smart people, and none of them resemble...

Hmmmm.... I'm thinking a digital fuel pressure gauge, a digital vacuum gauge, and a wide band O2 sensor in a triple gauge pod on the driver A-pillar. :)
