That would probably be pretty easy to fix once you pull the fender off.

It should be 2lbs to turn the axel according to the fsm. However when I put mine back together it was also a bit tight and I couldn't get it to the 2lb preload either. I think mine was about 4. It'll be fine so long as that nut is on tight and things don't come apart. I haven't had any issues and I did mine the begining of the summer on my DD. If they did pack everything full of grease it could blow that seal out the first time it gets hot. Grease expands and if there's too much it will build pressure. Hope that's not the case.

Even if it does glare, a custom dash mat on the top could fix that. Or even stretching leather over it to make a nice custom leather dash.

That's not how the Z brake light switch works...Well ok hard to word this right. That is how it works however the plunger is part of the switch and doesn't come out unless you've broken the switch itself. What he had was a missing bump stop on the pedal arm. They get old and dry rot and fall apart then you have a hole in the pedal arm that the plunger slides through. I don't know why they did it that way, but I went to Advance and picked up a pack of various sized door bump stops and found one that fit. It's a little loose, but still works.

Rare? How is it rare when you can get them from Top End Performance brand new in 40mm, 45mm, 48mm and 50mm versions not to mention the EFI version as well as carbs.

I think he meant Forced Induction (F/I)

Looks a lot like a futuristic cougar or the new charger.

Haha, yeah I remember that in 02 or 03 I think it was. I35 froze over from San Antonio north and the state troopers shut it down. I was stuck on my way back to Fort Hood from Austin. Had to detour off the interstate and go up 190 which thankfully wasn't blocked, but very slick. Had to do 25 the whole way. Of course I only had a little 2wd S10 with street radials.

I've heard 200hp. Don't know the calculations myself, but this has been covered before. Try searching the forum.

WTF?? Can you get a better pic of that? I don't recognize it. What year and model Z is that?

Happy thanksgiving everyone! I'm driving my ZX today and hoping the Alternator doesn't die again! lol

How much for your T5 when you're done? I'm too busy (or lazy) for this upgrade. I'll vote sticky on this as well.

Sounds like a failing brake booster, not master cylinder. If the master cylinder were failing the pedal would be soft and difficult to stop. The booster helps make the pedal manageable. Check the vacuum lines as was stated by others. If that doesn't present an issue then pull the booster and check it out.

Wow, you should be munching on that for a while!

Same stuff they use for cold air intakes and intercooler piping. Mandrel bent pipe and rubber sleeves. Check out some of the ricer performance shops around town or eBay and you'll find it. Personally, I would make a fitting to connect it to and some of the IC/CAI piping already has a bung for it. Several people on here have just stuck a filter on the end of the tube coming out of the valve cover. It is part of the pcv system, but it's not the pcv valve. That's under the intake. Because of the way the pcv system works in these cars, I would make the connection at the intake and hook it up right rather than risk a build up of noxious/acidic gasses in my crankcase.And lastly, being a California car, it is equipped with a BCDD, I don't see anyway to reinstall that, so I'm going to toss it, right? (good riddance) Cap it or put a filter on it.

Seems to me that regardless of peoples differing attitudes everyone use to let dogs lie to avoid an arguement. I don't know about anyone else, but I was really interested in this thread until the bashing started. If you don't like what bubbles had to say ignore it and move on. It's that simple. You're on the internet, what's the point in arguing? There will never be a resolve as no one will ever prove him right or wrong and vise versa. This is a tech forum to gather information and resolve problems, not argue and bicker amongst ourselves over who has what and whether it can really run...But I digress, no point in continuing this path of soap box ranting as it only serves to bring me down to the level this thread has gone to. Remember when pointing a finger at someone else, there's three more pointing back at you.

Amd to think, I stopped posting at zcar.com because I thought this site was so much more mature....Boy was I fooled. I have two words for the last HALF of this thread... GROW UP!

Can you say cheese grater? If your leg got caught in that it would be ground beef.

Amen!

That should be sweet! Let me know how it goes and send pics!

Ummmmm That's horrible. Tell me it's photo chopped.

Ummm, you're not understanding, we don't want to engine to stay running, just the cooling system.

You must work with Marines too....lol

That's the joy of owning Z. It's fun to drive and easy to work on. My DD is an 81ZX. It's had lots of problems but when you sit down and figure it up, it's still way cheaper than buying something new or anything you have a payment on. Plus it looks way better.
