If you haven't changed the compression ratio with a different head or pistons then stick with regular. Although in the long run the difference between a tank of regular and premium is about $2 a tank. Sometimes it's worth it.

Got bored today and threw together a website. Let me know what you guys think.

Actually, the video quality seems way too good for the original comercials. I wonder if that was a teaser for when Nissan did the factory refurbs on them?
-
Wow...I was curious who you went through for your domain hosting so I pulled a whois on the name....The amount of information they throw out there is incredible...I'll pull this immediately if you like...
(BLEEP)
Anyhow, so who did you go through for your domain name?

Horrible english, but I don't see where he can scam anyone with a local pickup.

Has anyone ever comtemplated building a L31 and putting the diesel head and intake and such on it to make a Diesel that would fit in the Z? Might be worth looking into. Or just leave it as a L28, that would be destroking it a lot though. Any thoughts?
-
This could really be anything. For all we know the bad intake/exhaust gasket was causing a vacuum leak before that was covering up another issue. Now that's fixed the other issue is showing. Could be running rich. Check you plugs for color. You're looking for tan. White is lean and gray/black is rich.

It worked for me. Nice Z in the background ready to stage.

Nice site. Are you using the standard 280ZX 5 speed or the T5?

And brake themselves and tighten the seatbelt anticipating an accident and they're even working on self drive cars so you really won't need any skills at all.
-
Search for Talking Lady or Bitching Betty. This has been discussed several times.

The steps are basically the same, the only thing you'll need is a flex additive for the paint. Keeps it from cracking and flaking off when the plastic bends of flexes.

Today's cars are like an old man on life support. So many electronics and gadgets making them numb to their surroundings that they can't feel life anymore. In the same respect todays cars don't require any skill to drive because they don't feel the road and neither does the driver. Not to mention the engine compartments look like they're on life support.

badjuj, that's bad juju. Computer fans won't push enough air fast enough through that radiator or pull it for the matter, to cool anything.

There's really not much to the stock belts. Usually what happens is the retractor spring and assembly gets gunked up and it makes it stick causing the saggy effect. Pull the interior panel and yank that seat belt assembly out. You'll see what I'm talking about. Take a can of WD40 and spray the moving assemblies (keep it off the belt as much as possible). Let it soak then take an air hose and spray it out REALLY good to get the gunk out. Then just lube it up with a spray can of white lithium grease and all should be good.

Survival of the fattest...lol That's a new one. With 30+ year old wiring though I'd be concerned with everything. My 77 is getting a whole new custom harness. It's gonna rock...lol
-
You can't fix the stock seatbelts? They're really simple design. I'm about to pull mine and clean them up and get them retracting properly again. They sag a bit, but still work.
-
You still end up with the old dry rotted link box, corroded wiring and poor connections. It's a thought, but I'd rather just replace the whole box.
-
-
That's good stuff. At least when I do aquire the cash I know I can count on getting a quality piece.
-
It is dependent upon what parts are required to do a proper build. The box I have has good gears, new bearings, syncros, seals, sandblasted and painted case. It is ready to go and would be $300.00 plus shipping. You would have to swap over your shifter, boots, and throwout bearing, I could provide the shift fork or you could use yours. Since you are in NC is is likely you could drive over to pick it up though if you're interested.
Very interesting...I'm really tempted, but unfortunately at the moment short on funds. Still trying to get rid of this MSII ECU so i can get my bearings for my stroker build.
-
If you plan to autocross I'd get some kind of roll bar in and go from there.
-
Replacement dashboards? Not likely. There are some that will recover your dash and it'll look new again, but I'm not aware of anyone making dash replacements.

Picked another 240SX transmission (89 model). I'll be buying reverse idler and o/d gears from David at Courtesy (along with more gears to fix the close ratio boxes). It seems everyone misses fourth and grinds reverse when shifting hard and chips these teeth up. I'm building up two other close ratio boxes and another wide ratio box. There's already a wide ratio finished and ready for someone to install. All of these have or will have new KOYO or NACHI bearings, brass syncros and non-damaged gears throughout. If someone is interested in a 5-speed box just PM me. The one thing I haven't determined yet is how the speedo housing/gear will work in the KA box. That trans has the VSS with a larger driven gear and larger drive gear too. I've yet to determine if the smaller gear of the 280ZX will engage properly when the housing is clocked for proper installation.
Supposedly it will engage. I believe from the info I've read on the swap you use the Z speedo gear and housing. Supposedly it fits. How much do you charge for a wide ration trans ready to drop in?

Let me guess. White struts with A-Just in red lettering? Yes they're KYB, but they are so bottom line you'd swear they had Made in China written somewhere on them. Very cheap.
