  1. I have come to the realization that the 810 does not want to leave me or in other words I can't sell her because only I can appreciate her good looks. Anyway, so the girlfriend and I have been wrenching on her to get her road worthy and then she pipes in "let’s make it a sleeper". Why did you go and have to say that using my inside voice. It couldn’t have been blurted out at a worse time as my 240Z turbo is nearing motor completion. However, it’s always good timing because it's never too late to start planning for the “next†project. The Question: What motor will propel this “sleeper†down the road? Requirements: We want to have about 300-450rwhp. (Keep in mind the current L24E is front sump.) I have thought of the following: (couldn’t get the poll function to work) • L28ET • LS1/LS2 w/ 6 speed • RB2xDExx • 2JZ GTE • VH45DE • VK56DE • Any other Ideas I need some ideas please. What will get me to the HP goal with the least amount of dough spent, I know easier said then done. This is merely designed to brainstorm with my fellow Hybridzers and to shed some light and ideas on this! So far we are thinking: • Old school hot rod flat black paint job • Over fenders • 280ZX rear disc conversion (I need 280ZX complete rear suspension) Here are some pics of her:
  2. Good luck man, sweet job w/ BAH. I miss Oki when I was in the military. Waiting for Stony to chime in......
  3. I have MSA radiator that I got for a steal years ago brand new: I have not purchased an electric fan kit for it. Since I will be running TEC 3 and I know the TEC 3 will control it I am looking for an electric fan and seen the one offered for my radiator on MSA's site. The price for the electric fan is $150 and since they don't list how much cfm it pushes has anyone used it or is there something else better? I also seen the electric fan mounting kit for $50 which they recommend over a fan tie kit for my radiator or it will void my warranty. Buy it or is there something else that I can piece together? Thanks,
  4. Here is Mosiah our 150lb Lab/Mix, he is almost 10 years old. Standing in front of a cord and a half of wood.
  5. NaplesZ are you or were you stationed in Naples? My ex is from there, I loved it!!!
  6. I rented a Smart ForTwo a few times while on vacation in Italy. Great car, not much get up but for 3 cylinders it's not bad. I am 6'2" and there is plenty of room. If I had a longer commute of lived in a city for parking, it would be a good buy. There is a dealership in Florida that has been selling them for years. There is one in my area too. Along with a couple of Fiat 500.
  7. I had a Shiro w/ 98K on it all original and I sold it for $6450 2 years ago. For your Z white w/ tan interior which is a common color combo, the only thing that is killing you is that it is an automatic. Has the timing belt or any maintenance been done?
  8. Here is daddsun the S130 lover.. and his '81 and '82 280ZX Hardtops BOTH FOR SALE: 1981 280ZX Hardtop 1982 280ZX Hardtop The black wheels are on the gray car. The 16x7/16x8 Epsilons are available for an additonal cost. Email him if interested both cars are in the garage at his mom's house in Florida and he resides in Maryland. bobdadd@hotmail.com
  9. This is why Lowe's and Home Depot rent trucks:
  10. I seen that, he was a cry baby too. Nate had that problem, charged his battery between runs and it dies in the burn out box, MSD died no ignition equals YOU LOSE THE RACE!! Is this not common practice when hot lapping or did he have a crappy battery to begin with?
  11. I heard on an episode once that the cars have to run 10.50 or slower. If you run faster than a 10.50 after the show you lose. Same thing with the Pinks All Out if you ran a 10.30 and are capable of running 9.0 you have to pedal and run consistant 10.30 or get kicked out. Rules were on Speeds website, now they are pulled or buried in the site..
  12. Buck +6 for Rush, any Rush. Here is a few more off the top of my head: ~Heavy Metal by Sammy Hagar ~Thunder Kiss '65 by White Zombie ~Enter Sandman by Metallica ~Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine ~Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane
  13. I'm in the market for a truck too. My '94 is about to crap, I am hearing a faint tick in the head. She has 215K on the odo. Timing chain and clutch is still original and my a/c condensor is broken...hello summer. I don't really want to buy new since my commute is 1.9 miles. I want to stay Nissan but if I have to get something else then so be it. What year and how much if you dont mind? Is it the 5.2 or 5.9? best of luck!!
  14. Nice Ren and Stimpy reference... start watching from 40 seconds in...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN-5-_2xJJI
  15. My 240Z when I purchased it in 1999 still had probably the original plugs. But it did have the original cap and rotor. The spark plug wires were dated 1971, lolol
  16. Mizugama Junkyard.
  17. Oh yea I forgot you can always tear it all down and powder coat or paint the suspension "while your in there" if you go the bushing, suspension route. I know I am giving you bad ideas and this does exceed your $500 raise play money, it never ends man....
  18. Phil, This will be $500 well spent. If you don't have new spindle pins and hardware I would get that too and be done with it. Next should come brakes i.e. Toyota 4x4 front and Modern Motorsports rear disc conversion. Oh and while your in there convert your diff to Z31 CV Axles...oh wait isn't that what I am doing... anyways either way you will be happy. Good Luck,
  19. I get it shipped to the house. I can find it anywhere in MD. Congrats man , I'm right behind you!
