  1. Yet another car to be envious of while I am awaiting the opportunity to do some serious welding/bodywork on my project. Very nice - I want to paint mine a yellow also.
  2. Auxilary: Too bad his sucks. I will admit that the one my brother-in-law got initially had a TERRIBLE DA pull, but after a littlle 'Smithing", it's smooth as glass now. Neither of us has had any jams or FTF. Of course while I was doing the wsork on his action, I also polished the fed ramp, did a little recontouring and chamfered the chamber. Then I did both of mine. This was before we ever shot them.
  3. I have an '83 ZXT and I would not use 289ZX calipers, I'd use the MML 240SX swap kit and 240SX calipers, and will when I get mine to that point.
  4. Good question 240hoke: How big is the IC? I believe you haved an NPR? If it is any smaller than the rad, leave it be.... Most of us aren't on boost long enough for this to make a big difference. Road Racers need to pay attention to this more, IMHO.
  5. When I built my rotisserie, I used 3/4ths inch MDF for a 4X8 foot table that I could collapse by myself and lean against the wall. I have one of the magnetized grounding clamps that worked fine for me. Space was a big issue. Now I have a table that is belly button high to use anytime I need one.
  6. They are a lot easier to climb into bed with monetarily too!
  7. Glad to hear you're OK and car undamaged.
  8. Hartzpad: Is that a Witness I see? I've got a couple. 10mm FS Blue and .45 FS WF. Love 'em! I'm too busy to take a picture...In addition: 2 Ruger 22 Autos Beretta .32ACP Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag K-31 Swiss S&W 12 ga. Auto CZ-52 Bulgie Makarov Winchester Golden Spike Commemorative
  9. I have an R200 (3.54) you can have for $50 (what I paid for it). I live in Marietta. I originally got it from another member on the board, but now have decided to do an R230 swap. I also have the moustache bar and 280ZXT shafts....
  10. You arenow considered a dangerous polluter...
  11. Sounds like your front mount bolt is shot. That would definitely be the source of a clunk. Most diffs, if they are bad WHINE or ROAR at you - kind of sounds like a harmonic at speed.
  12. Sorry I wasn't clear - Zcar Atlanta is the pits. I've heard nothing but good things about E Radatz - he's just 3 or 4 miles from me. After dealing with Z Car 3 times, I finally have had it with them. The made me waste several trips due to their mistakes and bad attitudes. I gladly deal with Roger at Z Barn and pay shipping and no sales tax, and don't have to worry about being jerked around.
  13. Just a quick observation here: I took out the windshield from my 280Z and laid it on the 280ZX. It is a bit taller (good, because there is more distance in this application, but is about 3-4 inches wider. The base looks basically the same, meaning the curve looks like it would fit well. Top also. Just in case the Speed Glass is illegal on the street...I'm looking for options, cause this mod is Biatchin'.
  14. I can positively state that I hate the rear calipers on my '83ZXT - gone bad twice in less than 40K.
  15. Personally, I went w/a water-coolded center section when I had to replace mine. Added Insurance.
  16. Guys: I have seen this in person, and those taillights are HUGE! A great deal of work went into it, and yes, not perfect, but it looks DAMN GOOD!
  17. The Armada has an R230. The 3.15's were available at one time for the R200. I will be installing an R230 in the '75 V8 Project, and will be using the 2.9x gears with a 4L60E tranny.
  18. A number of people have used the Camaro/Astro V6 radiator with good results, but that was with good shrouding. The latest radiator from JTR is even thicker. With only 300 RWHP, I don't think you would have a problem. I will be using one of these for my swap.
  19. Whew! For a minute I thought you were seriously missing a girlfriend...
  20. I personally will never do business with Z Car Atlanta again....Roger has gotten all of my business for used parts in the past 5 years.
