James, wrap that expansion valve with that tar-like stuff to keep condensation from forming on it and causing a drip.

Re: My 350Z for sale

Awesome, always wanted a 350 since I saw the promotional video. "The Run" is what I think it was called.

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

Put tail lights in the Z. After going through a couple sets of tail light surrounds (sun soaked 40-year-old plastic just crumbles if you look at it wrong) I purchased these carbon fiber surrounds a few years ago.
