bluesinged

no one loves me

What cam should i get? and what should my boost settings be... i've got a supra intercooler that i think i'll have a friend hook up for me.

Whats the fastest, easiest, cheapest, and most reliable way to get an 83 2 seater ZXT into the low mid 12's to low 13's??? Might be a re-post but i searched around and i really suck at searching i guess (not my rustbucket... a different car)

Mine's not much more than a rustbox but every Z deserves a name... Goldlilocks... she's gold and looks like she's been mauled by bears

Dude... what are you getting all shot up with pepperspray for? Ask a pretty lady for directions? BTW she broke up with him like a year ago... he's called her, followed her, approached her and tried to contact her online. He's the type that doesn't let go obviously. As far as me fighting him... I'm stronger, faster, and much more educated as far as any kind of physical confrontation. But he's crazy... sometimes that gives even the most timid of people an edge over highly trained and knowledgeable martial arts specialists. When someone loses it they become way too unpredictable to be able to reliably say you could win.

On3Go... check your PM Still open to other idea's on what to do ppl i'm always open to suggestion!

his name is corey and i believe its an 79-83 model Gray Z... if you've seen it around. I've honestly never seen it before, think he's only had the Z a couple weeks after he totalled both his bikes, a jetta, and probly his old bug which he had last. EDIT: My girlfriends mom has seen it drive past her house a couple times and the guy at the car dealership was just freakin confused =X

lol...

Here entire family, as well as mine for that matter, know about the guy. It just seems weird when people that i talk to say "hey this guy was asking about you two, said he owned a trans am (which is actually my girlfriends and was never his) and wanted to find out where you guys were headed" its just creepy stuff like that that urks me... i just wanna smack him and say "DUDE SHE LEFT YOU WHATS GOTTEN INTO YOUR DANG HEAD!?!?!? TAKE SOME PILLS OR SOMETHING!"

OK... I'm a little flustered about my current situation because of some information i acquired this morning, and I'd like some input on how i should deal with it. I am currently in the process of setting my girlfriend up to purchase a 1993 JDM MR2 Turbo. The man I am buying the MR2 from works at a dealership and has helped me a great deal to figure out waht i need to do once i buy the car and has thus far been a very honest person. I found out this morning from ******* (car salesman) that my girlfriend's ex came buy the dealership and asked ******* what my girlfriend and I were doing there. This is the 11th report from people in general taht I have met with (in the past 8 months) that this guy is stalking us. My girlfriend told her ex (about 8 months ago) that he never could, nor would be like me... the next thing you know the dude went out and bought a Z just like mine and has been following us ever since. I have yet to actually SEE the guy following us but it seems that he always knows where we are... he approached the SAME salesman that I was talking too about the MR2 meaning that he had to be close enough to actually SEE or HEAR who I as meeting with. I feel a tremendous ammount of responsibility to protect and care for those I love... and myself as well now that i think about it. This guy has threatened me and my girlfriend on more than one occasion (unfortunately I have NO proof of this... the text msg's were deleted from her phone). He spent a some time in military school... roughly the same ammount i've spent in the same setting. You dont go there to learn how to be a panzy so I'm assuming he's just as dangerous as anyone that wants to kill someone could be... The guys stalking us so he's obviously lost it, then goes out and buys a Z to prove to a girl (who hates him and has VOICED this opinion CLEARLY) that he can be like me... So... what do I do?? I have no proof for the cops to look into and I dont want to just sit idle and let this freak follow me around. and I CERTAINLY dont like the fact that he drives by my girlfriends house a few times a week all slow and sneeky like. Throw me a bone guys, i'm sure there's all sorts of lawyers and attorney's and cops in here that can give me a few pointers as to a non-violent and non-threatening way to deal with the situation. I am not the one that needs to be in jail and dont intend on going there for beating this lunatic's ***.

Thanks for posting that, I honestly didn't know that =/

So, stock tires on a 280ZX turbo were 195/65 15's right? using the calculator posted here --> http://www.geocities.com/z_design_studio/transmission.html Oops... time to recalibrate my speedometer... i'm runnig 225/60 15's TY everyone i'll post if calibration was the problem.

The rear diff i have on the Z I'm currently driving is a 1983 280ZX Turbo... THAT is the one thats reving up so high in 5th... i was thinking of getting gears or really anything for decent mileage while highway cruising. Is it possible to just swap out 5th so i can keep my low gear acceleration?

On the way home in my 280ZXT, I often hit speeds around 80-90mph because no one else is on the roads around where i drive and who wants to be on an empy road for an hour doing 50mph... thats just boring. The drive is around 25 miles and wastes a ton of as because on stock gears 85mph is roughly in the range of 3200-3500rpm... I'd love some recommendations as to what gears i might be able to replace mine with as I start building my new one... stock gears just anger me now... gas prices own me =( (a friend of mine suggested 84 300ZX gears... i dont know if this is possible or how much it would cost, but i'm interested into looking at that option if the gears are set to handle higher speeds @ lower rpms...) Oh, it's a manual transmisson 1981 280ZX with a cross between an N/A motor and Turbo top end that i need the gears for... if that makes a difference. -JC

Thanks for the replies, after a search i found about 200 people asking close to the same thing I was... annnd about 5 replies with enough information to make them worth reading. But those that i read were several pages long and answered all but one question. The horsepower. I'm not doing anything but the turbo swap, electronics, and top end on the n/a cam because i dont have another cam and can't afford one. i already own two complete engines, the n/a and the turbo engine. the turbo engine is just so far gone i gave up. so, after this process should i expect 200hp or more in the 230 area running 7-9lbs of boost. I'm using either a supra or grand national IC
