Only a few days after whining on this blog about quality employment, J.M. Lexus called me up and interviewed me today.
Interview went good and going for next phases of employment.
Have to re-cert all of my ASE except L-1 quickly because this determines salary should I gain employment there.
Fingers crossed.....J.M. Lexus is pretty much a dream gig for an auto technician.

I am a master diagnostic technician (L-1) and spent 3 years as general manager of a major ECU rebuilder Standard/Blue streak.
I was also the sole technical support for north america fielding up to 40 calls per day from master technicians who experienced befuddlement as to why the 4 different ECUs they put into a car weren't the magic bullet that would fix the car.
I have mastered or have much experience with all brands diagnostics as well as usage of the model scan to
So why is it, that no one uses the blog feature? Is this just another test brought on by the admins? is it going to end up like the chat box?
Today a young man on acid realised that all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vabration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves, Here's tom with the weather.
Alright, with the overwhelming amount of parts I have for z31's and VG's I decided, that my next motor is going to be a vg33et with a nice t4 or gt40 turbo, intercooler, wastegate, pop off valve, nistune...etc motor complete is $303 from picknpull with a 6 month warranty, the trans i already have and I'll just have my driveshaft shortened! :flamedevi:burnout:
Well here's and intro to what got me into cars.
I guess if i had to pin point a date, it would have started when i was abut 4-5 years old, my uncle had been into z cars ever since they came out and he had this black 280z that I took a ride in and loved it every minute of riding in that car. He rolled it and scrapped it about a year after that and never touched a z car since. all during my child hood, some way or another I was fiddling with some sort of motor or electronics, or taki
I never thought it could be so hard to choose a new motor. What i actually mean to say, is that i never actually thought this guy would be serious about buying it.
to tell you the truth, I actually don't want a small block in my z, for the specific reason of, just being able to take the car out and going for a random cruise to wherever, like what i used to do in my other z's.
Kind of funny, now that i think about it, how much cruising and listening to music can clea
Well, I just figured out where my paycheck is going to be going. Struts? Nope. Springs? Not even. Tires maybe? Not that. Then what you may ask? A speeding ticket that's what! How disappointing this is...and I have only myself to blame. Early this morning on the way to meet up with a friend. Traffic was cleared because most people had already made the commute to work. I decided to open her up a little. I get it up to about 100mph and then let up and begin to creep down to about 80. Then I look be
Well lets see, my Z is now at the point where my engine and drivetrain surpasses the current setup of my Z. The struts are nearly blown, springs are worn, the aerodynamics make the front end unstable at anything over 90mph, I can fell the car flexing when I launch it, the brakes feel a bit on the mushy side and I can feel the front wheels "skip" when I take a corner at higher then average speed. Not to mention my fuel gauge doesn't work along with my turn signals and headlights. The latter are m
Okay, I didn't know there was a blog where I could express my thoughts on my car. Now I will do so.
So in about April of '09, I was looking through craigslist in my spare time. I found a blue 280z, little rust, no dents, and not running for $600. I was so amped up, I've been wanting an s30 since junior year of highschool, and all I needed, (the seller claimed) was a head gasket. So I picked it up.
My co-worker was a laid off mechanic working with me at the local smoo
This is a list as a reminder for me of what parts I need to get for my 240Z project.
Electrical:
fuse block
Heater fan switch
temperature regulated switch for my electric fan
Blue LED light strip to run as sidemarker lights around my headlights. (looks so cool)
Turn signal relay (mine sucks, it only works half of the time)
Body:
More bondo to finish paint prep
Polyurethane enamel paint (cool vanilla and black
I shot the paint on August 16th and now I'm sanding polishing and putting everything back together. All in all it looks good and I'm happy with the results.
im in the process of wiring up a 82 turbo motor in my 75 280z and i had a couple questions. on the harness there are 2 plugs on the inside of the car near where it plugs into the computer. i was wondering what those plugs went to. i was also curious if there was anything that i could get rid of from the harness or the motor that i wouldn't need.
