Just curious, but for the amount of miles on your Z have you had to replace the timing chain at any point?

Zipper 104 will become famous soon enough
Default Out from under the cover....

Got home tonight after work, popped in the battery and put on new plates.
All ready to go after four months under a cover. It has 9444 kms on the clock and still has a new car smell. I have an order from the Rag Company and a bottle of Kenotek detailer to go pick up tomorrow.
