[Shane's 240z build]

Welcome to the forum! Seems like a pretty solid Z from the pictures and I like your taste in wheels

 

In that last picture, is the car at idle or are you revving it? If it that thick at idle you might have a problem. My Z burns oil but is only really noticeable when decelerating. I only go through a quart a month so it isn't the biggest deal.

 

Try driving the car for a week whilst checking the level everyday and see how fast it is burning. It could also be hazardous for other drivers depending on how thick the smoke is being laid down.

 

 

"heres a pic of how much oil im burning with the engine going about 2000-2500 rpm"

Weld in a new skin. I had it done to a long term car I have in storage.

He told me 1980 LHD 280zx.

[Rota RB/RB-R, 4x114.3, 17", Z-Offset Wheels]

So has anyone noticed the front center caps are about 1 inch to shallow?

 

I can not get mine to fit, and we took his wheel off, put the cap on the wheel, then put the wheel back on the front. Hoke tightened it down and it busted the cap out the center.

 

Anyone else notice this?

But, I have to ask.

 

With all the effort that went into the respray, why did you not have them spray the area behind the taillight panel?

With all the debate about health care reform, I propose a new medical procedure. It will be called post partrum abortion. Any child up to the age of 18 is eligible for this procedure. This kid will be the poster child.
