I will see you in Williams. We will divert to a Memorial service in Prescott on the way up on Friday.

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

This thing left me battered, but not beaten. While taking the greasy differential out about 7 weeks ago, it tumbled off the jack and onto my right hand. Fortunately it only crushed the tip of my thumb. Even with my thumb in a splint I managed to clean, paint, and reseal the unit, and added an M-fact...

What am I, a potted plant?

I know, no respect until I show up with the car.

Re: Addition to the family

Yes, the IIRC the wheels act like fan blades to suck air out from under the car at speed. It is pretty common for the "wheel police" to point out when someone post a photo of their new Z32 with the wheels on wrong.

Re: Addition to the family

That looks great Carl, with the wheels and other mods! Are those 350Z stock wheels? This car has 95K miles. I'm taking it into Pitstop this Wednesday for a PPI (pre-purchase inspection), in my case a post purchase inspection :lol:. Couldn't pass on it after seeing the condition and negotiating the ...

Re: Addition to the family

Ah, that's the one from the DZA E-mail? Nice car for the money. I thought about it for a second. That model is by far the best looking 2+2 Z ever. Having already done the Z32 bit with the twin turbo, I passed. Always seemed like more of a muscle car/Japanese Camaro to me than a sports car. The Proje...
