What did you do to your Z this week?

I've had a nightmare trying to get screws to fit the sun shade of the 280z - I've order loads and none fit. Tried all the sites/forums

So gave Bard a try

Yeah no way it's an Imperial size. The AI bots are very good at writing things that sound correct, but actually aren't.

I believe the sun shade screws (x6) should be 08330-51842?

Which works out as:

08330-51842

08 (Standard Prefix)
33 (Machine Screw, Oval head)
05 (M5, JIS Thread (Metric fine, Thanks Rob))
18 (18mm long)
42 (Phosphoric acid coated, black)

Yeah I was going to say this. I work with GPT based AI a lot, and it frequently hallucinates facts. You have to ask it for the sources when it gives you technical info - then you can check them yourself.

Definitely need to know more of the story. The car looks to be a real labour of love. Fab shine, especially the wheels. Great to see another Z on the road😎👌
