  1. Hi I am wondering if anyone would be willing to do a pre purchase inspection, or know someone that does them in Bakersfield. Also I would like to know the average cost of a PPI.

  3. I am trying to solve why it doesn't start. In the video, it seems like it starts but when I hit the accelerator it doesn't rev
  4. Anyone? I'm trying to work over the weekend. My mechanic said it might be the fuel tank. It doesn't get rev when it's "on" and I put my foot to the floor. He thinks it might be because it has no pressure or air is getting in. Anything helps.
  5. Ok so first off, some background info, when I got the car the PO said that the gas tank wouldn't fill up past half because of something loose. I also drove it 2 hours home. I had it in the shop and when I got it back, I would get on the gas and it wouldn't pass 3.5k rpm, I would try to floor it and it would just backfire like crazy. After awhile the radiator exploded. It went back to the shop and the mechanic put in the new radioactive and now the car doesn't even start. He though it was a bad distributor so he replaced it, that didn't fix it so he put my old one back on. I have some videos of the problem and some photos Car has a L28e from a 75ish 280z 5 speed

  7. I got my car at the time because I thought it was a good solid car, now looking back at it I should have waited and not jumped the gun. I think the car has been repainted. These photos are old but the body is still in the same condition, I have since bought T3 front and rear brakes. My mechanic has put in a new radiator, starter, ignition switch, distributor, and "ignition coil?" and more things. I am thinking now I’m already down a lot of money and don’t know what to do next. I am thinking of posting on the new members once I get my car back from the shop and I can post better pictures of it.
  8. So this guy on craigslist is asking 6K on craigslist and I am wondering what you guys honestly think i should offer, i have a 73 240z that i am thinking of parting out and selling and want a car with a better shell. tell me if you think this is a good buy.
  9. Does anyone know of any z stores doing Cyber Monday sales? I know Zcardepot is doing a 10% off. what about z car source and thezstore (MSA)?
  10. https://www.flyinmiata.com/npt-to-metric-flare-adapter.html @KevvinG are the flyin miata outlets like these? as in do they go in to these
  11. Ok, i will try to straighten, thank you for the tips
  12. Do you think I can just unbend it?
  13. I was wondering if there is a simple way to make this part straight again. i don't know what it is called but it is circled in white. anyone have any tips on what to do. Thanks
