  1. Adj. coil overs is kinda a pain on these cars. the tokico hp (blue) stuff works pretty good for street and starting.
  2. I'm not really aware of any "good" L rebuilders local. the Z Owners Of Minnesota ( ZOOM ) Facebook group may have better insight.
  3. Could try asking on the Facebook group, much bigger audience Z Owners Of Minnesota (ZOOM) Minnesota Nissan Infinity (MNNI)
  4. Good really basic principles of exhaust design explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTARjxiqlo
  5. 3" is not to big. Once past the headers it is really hard to go to big.
  6. In my defense it was under $30k when I posted
  7. Surprised this hadn't come up recently here. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-datsun-280zx-3/
  8. Isn't Jeffp making 350+ on his junkyard short block @ 8psi? Following his documentation takes the guess work out of it. Spend the money on a really good pro port job.
  9. You might want to check your water temp gauge. With no coolant it should read ambient air temp, not the ~180 of coolant. You should have seen the temp drop drastically, buiring the needle to cold.
  10. Jeff's intake isn't "stock" it's been exrudehoned. And I forget the numbers but is giving up a fair amount of flow from what his head can support, i.e. could can a fair amount of power if he changed intakes.
  11. Check the harness wires from the ECU to the sensor. Ohm them out make sure there is not to much resistance.
  12. With that much effort it makes me think you've met them and they knew you had good stuff. Suck to hear about it.
  13. And get the USPS money order redemeed before shipping. I have heard of those being forged too.
  14. One thing not mentioned alot in the news, the more southern states it starts out as rain and freezes to ice under the snow, making it alot more slippery. Still my team in Greensboro panics over 2 snowflakes.
  15. He doesn't know what he is doing. You don't lift these cars from the floor stiffeners, they aren't made to take the weight.
  16. Does it still have an EGR valve? I suspect it has to do wiith the extra vacuum put on the intake manifold when you engine brake.
  17. All power and money should be in the head. A well done documented head is worth some money.
  18. I seem to remember JeffP doing some testing to the size of his intake. Depending on the HP levels you are looking for 3" maybe enough.
  19. http://www.npr.org/2014/11/03/357428287/tom-magliozzi-popular-co-host-of-nprs-car-talk-dies-at-77
  20. Sorry I didn't see this yesterday, I totally would have stopped by to help out. As NewZed said, the spark plug needs to be on metal / grounded on the outside of the plug to work. When the coil is powered up, remove the ground wire from the coil. this should make it spark.
  21. Heard you rolling down the street, sounded OK. At least at easy cruise.
  22. Dang, didn't see that one. Hit me up, I think I have a spare oil pressure sender.
