  1. I'm just looking for any insight or opinions as to what would be an ideal ratio set up for added torque and hook-up.
  2. I'm lookin to get a stock z32 front bumper and right fender for a 2+2. I purchased a front bumper offline back in december and when i went to fit it, it was 2-3 inches shorter on either side. so it appears i need a bumper from a 2+2 and i am assuming the fender is a bit longer too. Also I was wondering what an ideal rear end gear ratio is. im looking to add more torque but at the moment I can't afford to do many engine upgrades. If anyone has any insight or has changed their rear end ratio your info would be valued.
  3. How is the new year treating everyone? My question pertains to the rubber hose that is clamped to an outlet at the very bottom of the down pipe on a Z32 N/A. The other day I hit my rev-limiter pretty hard and I thought for sure I put a hole in my exhaust. Turns out I blew that hose off the outlet it is secured to. When idling it sounded as though it was a vacuum line of some sort. I was able to re-clamp it and it has not given me any trouble since. I was just wondering if anyone could shine any light as to what it really is and if its really needed.
  4. if its light rust all you need to do is hit it with some 180 grit and hit it with self-etching primer. you cen get self-etching primer at any auto store. after that, as long as the engine bay is sanded with 180 or 320, apply a very dry, dusted coat of paint onto the surface. this acts as an adhesive for the finish coats. within 3-5 mins. it should be tacky enough to apply your first wet coat. wait 7-10 mins. and apply another. continue until you like the look or run outta paint. also, i've found that when spraying single stage to keep a 50% overlap as you work your way down the panel.
  5. For my 1990 z32 I want to run 18's with a nice dished lip. Also I perfer muti-spoke over the traditional 5 or 6. But thats where my thought process ends. I need some advice as to what might be and what will be a good performance and reliable combo. First of all, what are some rim dimensions that work best on a z32. Is an 18 in. rim too much/too little? How wide should I go on the front and rear? What size side wall, what grade of rubber? Anything and everything will be helpful.
  6. to ensure best results, make sure the exsisting paint is sanded extremely well before the primer is applied. if not, because it will get fairly warm under the hood the paint will flex a little bit and if the primer as not adhered to the surface due to improper sanding, the paint will chip and crack. seeing that ♥♥♥♥ on your car sucks because you will forever notice it and it requires resanding and applying paint again. so do it right, make sure it's fully sanded. i'm going to college or collision repair and have been working in the field for almost 5 yrs. now. this rattle can idea isn't a good idea. they are not meant to spray large areas, like you said you had good success with it on small pieces. spend $50 bucks at home depot on a gun, hook it up to your compressor and spray. XO-Rust leaves a nice shine, you just have to cut it with a little laquor thinner. let me know if you have any other questions
  7. hello there. i have a 1990 300zx 2+2 with 116,000 miles on it. It has blue interior but with $10 in interior vinyl spray paint that can be changed. it's a 5-speed and runs strong. the big question is how much you are looking to spend. I'm looking to get around $5500.
  8. Call your local auto supply company. Up here in Mass and New Hampshire we have Robbins and Towers but if that doesn't work call the paint company wether its PPG, DuPont or any other brand and give them that paint code. Now if that doesn't work nd the color you are matching is a factory color call Nissan and give them your VIN, you might get lucky.
  9. I was hoping for a belt driven set-up so it looks like I have some research to do. But thanks for the replys and if anyone has any more info to help guide me in the right direction I'm all ears.
  10. Hello fellow members, My question to all is whether or not it is possible to supercharge a z32. I own a 1990 300zx 2+2 and just by looking at my engine I know I'm going to need a new intake manifold. I'm curious as to what companies make supercharger intakes for the z32 and which ones are recommended. I would also like any information as to what is a good supercharger to run and how much boost I could run. Correct me if I'm wrong but its my understanding that the non-turbos come with forged internals like the twin turbos and if they don't can I get away without replaing the internals?
