Isn't it odd how a simple act like pulling the Z out of the garage and letting it warm in the driveway for 10 minutes in the dead of winter can seem like an "accomplishment"?

I just like to hear it run, and make sure nothing has taken up residence inside it. We don't have mice, but hey ~ ya' never know, and that's as good an excuse as any .

I could not agree more.

Look at my grin in the photo I took for the officer's page. I undercovered, started, drove around my block, took the photo, then put her away.

My own little "FUN RUN" around the block.

Nice gear you're wearin', too!

If the water wouldn't have frozen the doors shut, I would have washed mine just for the feel of it!

I hate winter and frozen door locks and doors!! I'm still driving mine, and have had to crawl through the hatch, to get in.!!!! many times....
It loves the cold though, get more compression, I guess?
Have 2 cinder blocks in the rear and studded snows in the rear!!!!

Hi Frank-Brothers,

I have NO heat coming out....the fan works, my radiator is up to level...
My mechanic friend says it is the water cock? Not opening? I've been reading on "my" micro fiche site, that Phil280zx, so kindly connected me to.......and it says that there is a "magnet valve " that accuates the h2o cock to open? My friend says he could not "open" it by hand...could the magnet be strong enough to hold it shut? We tried blowing the heater hoses out in the engine compartment, but the cock is frozen shut....does anybody have good "water cock"...... that they would sell me? I hope it'ds not a heater core!! And what is a vacuum tester??? Any ideas what my problem may be? Up at N.H., 2003....there's your car Phil.....blue 280zx with hatch open, to the left of my "work in progress"!!! THANX,
BG!

Gar, not sure if you saw my post last time you posted those pictures from the 2003 National Convention in NH, but my car can be seen in the secind picture, one row back, third car from the left with the hatch open... small world!!

Yup, small world, but I wouldn't want too paint it!!!!

BG!
