Nice to see you back! Visit more often.

I had to cut more than one full coil from my front springs when I installed new Eibach springs. My car sat about 1" high in the front. I used a Dremel rotary tool and thick carbide cutting disks....

Ritchie,

My car is mostly a weekend driver, but I plan to display it again this year at Burlingame's "Cars in the Park" on Saturday July 25th along with my neighbor's 240Z and my buddy's 1097...

Too long a drive for me, but sounds like fun!

Welcome to another bay area Z owner!

Still waiting for you guys buried in snow to send some of that water to northern Kalifornia...

Clever,_Where are the oil slick and ejection seat switches?

Engine bays are often painted black to hide a color change or stained / faded body color paint.
Is it a crime? No, and it can look very nice. Will it potentially hurt the resale value of the car?...

You have probably seen this, but if not...

My wife forwarded this to me today.

Squirt a little gas or starter fluid into the carb throats. Will likely crank right up

Finished installing all new cooling hoses in my neighbor's 72' 240Z, along with a new heater valve. Not hard, but not a "comfortable" job with your head down in the foot well. Her temp control...

Check the fuel filter and for rust in the fuel bowls. That caused a similar problem in my previous Z.

Can you describe the sound in more detail?

Sorry to hear that. I'm too far away, but perhaps some closer CZCC members can help you with R&R of the engine.

If no rust, seems to be priced about right, at least for California...

Given it's fine until you hit 50 mph, it seems to point to a balance issue. As others have said, I suspect the wheels / tires.

Before finally replacing it, I wrapped my brake vacuum hose with electrical tape to seal it, which worked very well. Ran that way for two years...

Martin,

I was in your fair city last year. Very nice place.

Nice looking Z. Try to keep your Z inside in the winter if you can. Unlike your 240SX, the early Z's had no rust proof...

I have machines with both Win 7 Pro and Win 8.1. Win 7 is by far more user friendly, even though my Win 8.1 machine has a touchscreen.
Microsoft tried to make the same interface work on a...

Wow! That looks like a pro restoration!

Replaced most of the coolant hoses in my neighbor's 240Z, with exception of the under-dash heater hoses. No leaks, just preventative maintenance.

The original dealer installed A/C makes the...

Good to know. McMaster-Carr to the rescue again!
