  1. Just got home from a 3 week trip and found my flange and plenum base waiting for me. They are quality peices. I know what is to have waited a year on a machine shop...even after 4 qoutes of delivery time..but won't get into that here.

    But Justin have you thought anymore about the feul rail??

    Thanks for including me in this project.

  2. Roger is still selling. See him on a regular basis..and you are correct, he is selling everthing he can and is storing parts also.he still has the largest collection of documented Z's in the states. Check the property behind his house. He is trying to change his means of work...but he is still going to sell Z parts as a sideline.

  3. Just checked Black Dragon..no listing but MSA still has a listing for the kit and a hole saw kit. You will need it to install the camber toe kit. If you wish to have full toe and camber adjustablity you should get 2 kits. I installed only one on my car and just it's barely enough for suspenion tuning, after lowering and WIDE wheels and tires.

  4. Hey there Justin, just sent you a postal money order for $280.00. Sent extra for shipping. If that's not enough let me know and I'll send more. I don't recall call seeing anything about shipping earlier,(may have been blinded by the site of the first flange posted). Thanks, Glenn

  5. There are differeces between all of the canted valve heads. While I was waiting on the heads and intake (I bought direct from Jon at CHI), bought a new TRACK BOSS from SP Performance..when the heads showed up, I matched up the TRACK BOSS,. the port centers,and port configurerations are so differeht that I cant even weld the intake up to make it work.The TRACK BOSS was designed to be run on top of the 2bbl. cleveland heads, there is an AUST. 2bbl. head that is considered 'CLOSED CHAMBERED' and was installed only on Aussie fords.I was trying to buy several diffrent intakes to do a dyno test,and it turns out that it's a good thing that I bought the 8.2 intake from CHI. The exhaust side will accept the cleveland or BOSS headers, even though the ports are square. There are a lot of people state side here that run CHI heads, you just don't hear much because they are half a world away. CHI in AUST. is like AFR over here. I don't how much different the designs are with such heads as ELDEBROCK, YATES, BLUE THUNDER, even AFR makes a set of canted vavle heads. But they all have differences due to their research and development. 5.0 mustange magazune, is building 2 late model boss engines, both with different manufactures heads, It's so-so reading but can give some more info. if your interested the the BOSS craze.

  6. I've gott'em. Putting together a FI.302 BOSS, for my new project car. The back ground on these heads can be found on their website. I don't know who one the Jeg's Engine Master build this year but the 3 years prior it was won by CHI.headed engines.

  7. Late yesterday evening USPS showed up with a box that was literaly wrapped with red, white and blue postal tape...I got the front brackets and my aluminum hub, all unscaved.Still have more to look forward to receiving, and I'm sure that it will be hard to retreive the lost parts from what could turn out to be more than just 2 shipping terminals.Hope that the first damaged package was insured and the USPS doesn't try to bulk on doing the right thing.

  8. Wow Les looks like you will get your wilwood set up before mine.And I supplied my own rotor and caliper. Like to know what pieces you are using. And Juan how about the other 2 pakages you claimed to have sent USPS and UPS they have not arrived and how about some tracking numbers? And I will keep this thread updated. You have promised my order 3 different imes and the last time you ' Project completed and will ship this week' the date 1/3/08. So when are you going to send me my order, just answer here. And my project will wieght more than the posted 5 pound box that you sent and had been opened...Should wieght closer to 60 pounds.

  9. Well is has been 6 days since I had to refuse a box from Juan. I received a e-mail from Juan asking did know anything about the box being empty except for an enveope which he had put in the box, and that he found the box being empty 'VERY ALARMING' and that he was going to check in with the local post office to see what happened. And he said that my wilwood caliper was in the box along with 4 wheel spacers and 2 caliper brackets....and that these were 'VERY EXPENSE'. Think he for got that I'm the one who paid for them to begin with?? Now back to the post office...think anybody there will come forward and say that they are the guilty party?? And now it seems as thuogh there is another excuse for the slow down with JUAN in getting what belongs to me and what I have paid for and have been waiting for, for over 4 months...keep in mind he told me in the begining that this would only take 2 weeks. And in the same 'LOST' e-mail he says that he has sent 3 boxes; 2 postal and one ups....HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MORE and he has not given me traking #'s to hepl track or even to see if he really has sent anything through ANY carriers. Well guess his local police dept. and the NY State police will handle things from this point on...All e-mails and copies of postal money orders(empty box and these are being entered as mail fraud)have all been forwarded to these 2 agencies. Waiting for replies from both.

  10. I have in the past, about a year ago bought a fuel rail and tb spacer from Juan, He does have a good line of qaulity items. So that is the reason that I contacted him to do the project, plus before the second plee for him to contact me (the 2nd 6 wks) he did send me some pictures of a job that was using my rotor and caliper. And they were very complementing and pleasing to at least see somthing going on (progress) and cooled me down to wait alittle while longer. At first he was in contact with me about once a week till the first 4 weeks had passed, than it really slowed down. I posted here this morning and this afternoon Juan sent me a e-mail stating he had received the RETURN package and that it alarmed him because my caliper, 2 rear brackets and 4 wheel spacers were shipped in that box and as I suspected he found it empty.....so his text said that he was going to get his local post office to investgate. What happens now??? Seems that the longer this saga goes on the worse it gets. Strange though since october I have ordered a set of CHI heads and intake from Aust. and recieved them in 8 weeks..a new set of Modern Motorsport hubs(that had to be made according to Ross) received them in 6weeks Thanks Ross I know a problem child..I called ALOT he was working ,out of town, a 6spd VIPER SPEC trans from PRO-MOTIONS in Fla. received in 2weeks. And had a full tube frame built for the new Z project in 4weeks plus powder coated. After His e-mail today I feel a little guilty about posting this morning...Maybe more communication and a real dead line or completion date and not pay in full up front and I wouldn't feel the way I do now(feel like he got the $ and pit me on the back burner due to the distance between Albany NY and Atlanta). You can check with anyone that I have bought from here IE; John Coffee bought his first fiberglass zx hood, because I put in for one and paid up front and he said 'You didn't ask?'s you just paid' and Mister Ross I've bought several items from him. Anyways as things progress here, I will let you know ,,and I know that Juan has been around for while and that he does have a good past as a vendor. Maybe this is just ONE OF THOSE THINGS that wasn't supose to happen.

  11. I contacted Juan back in Sept. for a set of front and rear caliper brackets and a set of 3/8" wheel spacers (2 sets each) we reached a price of $1690.00, paid him in full on 10/9/07. He said he would be completed in 2 weeks. Didn't hear from him for 6weeks, called and e-mailed for a week before he called and said I would have everything by the end of the week..6 more weeks go by no info from him, he calls me to say that he was in porto rico, sorry for the delay and that I would have my order by the end of that week. 6 weeks later and 42 e-mails and 6 voice mails to him, he e-mails with 'The project is completed' and needs my address, e-mail my address...4 weeks and 2 e-mails with ?'s has my order been shipped....NO REPONSE....Send e-mail to him demanding all my parts that I sent him for HIS research and developmet; 1: 4pot wilwood caliper,,1: modern motorsports aluminum hub with brgs.,,1: complete 300zx axle with companion flange and brgs,,and 1: 13" cobra rotor...along with my complete order NOT A PARTIAL ORDER or a complete refund of my $. to be delivered 2/8/08 (6 days to do this) STILL NO RESPONSE. But what I did get was a box marked 5 pounds and was torn open (my box of parts to him wighed 52 pounds) This pakage was returned by the mail carrier who said ' This box does not wieght 5 pounds and is damaged..I will send back' Still no response. I have contacted the local police in his town along with the New York State Bureau Of INTERNET Investigations. BEWARE OF JSK!!!

  12. Have you taken a look at the small sceen located in your feul pump? It's on the outlet side of the pump behind the hose barb adaptor. This happened to me and had the same symtom as you are discribing, cause's a lean condition. Found my problem after I fuel up and noticed that the stations pump was operating very slow (i got the bottom of their tank).It took me about a week to find it. Also did a feul pressure check while riding down the road when misfire was occurring, noticed drop to about 10pounds.

  13. That will work for me in saving shipping..my territory extends to Homestead. Gonna be traveling to Orlando next week, may drop by and take a look at the proto-types if there are any. I'm looking to have power windows and the cool little speaker cove. Do you happen to know the fella with the z in J'ville with the panterea hatch? Like to get a look at that. Give me a call if the the stop by is good with ya..770-289-8388. Glenn
