  1. I'll take the 240sx bell housing if you are going to just chuck it.
  2. you need to have a steady hand and don't so quick to jam the filler rod into the pool. If it starts key hole on you, you aren't moving fast enough or too much heat.
  3. 3 things wrong with doing a one wiper mod on a Z (all Zs). 1: the upper edge of the windshield is concave. Because of the shorter height length of the glass, it limits the length of the wiper you can use. 2: limits the amount of area wiped. 3: The degree at which the glass wraps around isn't constant. It increases towards the outer edges, it would cause the outer edge of the wiper to not be contact with the glass. Not really a big deal, but when combined with #2, it really limits your visibility.
  4. Eh~ wasn't so bad for me to take out.
  5. You mean wires? I have a bunch of parts from 280z(s). Even A/C equipment, but I am debating on whether to put that into my build.
  6. Thats an interesting hood idea
  7. If I were to do anything, it would after the "law" has dealt with him. Anything done before hand may hinder him staying behind bars.
  8. I take it that assault 2 was for your cousin and assault 4 was for her friend. Someone should send him "soup on a rope" with the rope cut off
  9. Flush mount all the windows. change the door window pillar design to a solid door/pillar, or pillarless (like on the subarus). Flush mount the turn signals. Basically all the subtle things. I don't like stainless trim.
  10. They are selling a special "tuner" version that is a couple thousand $ cheaper, with a lot of the accessories taken out. I don't think their terms of warranty will be as strict as some makes. As far as reliability, its a pita to have the car in the shop for a week(s)+ even though its under warranty.
  11. Have you tried grinding down the butt joints so half of it are diagonal? Like -------/------- | ---------------- But more deeper on the grind. If you can't get it still. Try oxy/acc welding first. Its almost~~ the same as TIG, but just a different way to apply heat. BTW are welding steel or aluminum? You can weld aluminum with oxy/acc, but its a pita.
  12. I wasn't referring to drive quality. I was referring to reliability.
  13. Wait... what? box? The speedo is mechanical and the only electrical connections on it are lights. I'm pretty sure that you can just replace the cable with a GM one with little modification. My dad had a spare GM cable from way back when he had his chevy K20. Speedo side fits, but the tranny side needs to have the proper key fitted on.
  14. Ah~ the stigma of making cheap cars still remain . Probably still applies to the coupe . We won't know until the 2010 version comes out . I think hyundai has come a long way from crappy econo boxes . Motortrend ranked the sadan as one of their top cars of the year award. That has to say something
  15. I wonder how many flaming responses he gets If the dealer did it, then its not factory.
  16. You should tell him that, "I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A 260ZX BEFORE, AND A Z WORTH $249K. EVEN THE Z432 WAS NEVER AUCTIONED OFF AT THAT PRICE." It would sound out of place if I told him that, because I don't have such a dialog with him. He needs to do his research before he can justify such a price figure. Show him the Y40 swap link mentioned earlier. should want to make him cut the price . If he thinks he's going to sell ANY car for such a price ON EBAY, he is sorely mistaken.
  17. VIN - grls0017288. Riiigghhtt~. factory with a car that came LHD with a unCARB tested JDM engine. I'm guessing that the VIN is a fake, or a typo. S00 ~?
  18. I just asked him for the VIN. guy doesn't even have any feedbacks. $249K is WAY too much for a car that was mass produced over 30 years ago. Wiki says that the Y44 came EFI, not carbed
  19. BS . I don't recall nissan ever making a V8 until 1975. its not even a ZX
  20. Ok. Now I have to make one of these vids when my car is done. First I have to finish the car, second I have to find a hot chick The parking of the red one was pretty slick
  21. My condolences. I am the same age and have had many friends pass already. (5 in last 2 years. non military). Live in the present. Time doesn't wait for those who stay ponder on the past.
  22. I think the holes aren't true. Does the wheel fit onto the hub loosely or does it seem like its binding on something? Might take it to a wheel shop and have them check the pattern.
