 Was even tempted to take the car out of service for a longer period of time to do a really thorough cleaning, but more anxious to get it back together soon, miss driving the Z. Besides the 74 is also keeping me busy... So just cleaning up as best as I can... Still thinking about what to do with the plenum numbers and letters, other than painting them black. Right now staying silver is my choice.

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
Giving me ideas Cliff....thought about the strip down the center. Don't even want to think about removing the cam covers this season, too much going on, especially with the 74.
I know there maybe different techniques for painting the numbers and letters, how did you paint them? I know someone mentioned using an artist brush. I also remember reading how MM painted them, but forgot what their procedure was, must be the age.... Your parts always look good, great job as usual...  Side note, does anyone have a suggestion on how to remove the throttle plate cover? I really don't want to end up destroying the TB...lol, but this plate is really stuck on there.....will be tomorrow's project among other things...

 If you insert the original screws into several holes of the TB Cover Plate but do not thread them you can tilt the screws and create considerable uplift in the TB Plate Cover. You might try tilting the screws at several angles. Or.....use an allen wrench of the size of the holes in the TB Cover Plate which if fits relatively tight would give you even more leverage. Just do not insert the allen wrench into the threaded area of the TB. Do not try to wedge with a flat head screw driver between the TB Plate Cover and TB as that will just mess up the TB.

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
Hi Craig my ZR-1 came from Japan in 2013- 2014 I have no history apart from it was first registered in Japan in 1992 my ZR-1 is 0308 1990 and was a California vehicle I wonder how or why it came to be in Japan could have been someone in the Military who knows and maybe if you don't take your ZR-1 home it may end up in New Zealand

I really admire you folks overseas that have these or any foreign cars as I know how difficult resourcing what you need is and the cost related. I was here in 2013-2014 and really curious to know who's car that was and how it ended up in Japan, then New Zealand. Funny you mention it, I have a friend from New Zealand that has lived here for a long time and he is an auto exporter shipping cars here in Japan all over the world. Basically cars over 5 years old are gotten rid of. I'll have to mention to him the next time we meet. I'm pretty sure this Z won't be going back to the US, but I might give it up in about 5 years. There is no market here for our cars. Thanks for sharing. Craig
