I just setup an in-car mount for my camera so I will definitely have a video up tonight. should be cool!

you got to think...HOW MANY PARADES DOES THIS GUY DO????

cool...downloading the movie to my computer now...I would rather do that since I can then watch it over and over...

yep...just put my suspension back in by myself...not fun. I need to redo all of the gaskets on my motor as well...

mmm...pretty...

he actually has a turnkey 700 horse 3.1 stroker l28 with 2 roots superchargers on it...it is going his purple people eater RV...

yep...the BRE stripes are cool...no matter what car they are on...even on an Armada...(seen it)

Video Hosting - Upload Video - Photo Sharing video from yesterday...will have another one on my worklog by tonight

here is the video...I may get a driving video by tonight. I drove the car about 3 miles last night (with a seat) lol. Video Hosting - Upload Video - Photo Sharing

have I gotten your interest yet? not too bad... he can weld aluminium and satinless...he's good ok it is an 82 block...just read his specs page...he's pushing 28 psi...lol

yeah I guess...just get the polyurethane ones...I just switched them out two days ago on the A-arms andit was easy. You just have to have a 24mm socket

The front fenders have a little black rustoleum and the top is red rustoleum. I am tinking of doing some red BRE stripes on the front fenders to change the looks a little bit.

well y'all will have to deal with pictures until I can do the video tomorrow. this pic is for mike (on3go)...this is a guy in my welding class that got his hair cut like yours...lol it needs to be cleaned...

haha...you are just a tad bit far...

I just took the first drive in my z in 2 months!!! as you recall it was in shambles 3 days ago...got the suspension back together and just drove it. the clutch is different than the other one and is really good. I could notice the dramatic change from the 11 pound flywheel. I had the Illuminas set on 5 just to see what it was like and it was like riding on rails! I am going to notch the fronts down to 4 and the rears to 3 tomorrow. I am going to lower the rear just a little more than it is now. I don't want to risk anything until after ZdayZ when I can afford new balljoints and bump stops. I took a video of the Z running and will upload it later. WOOT!!!

boy was I tired. I did not get the driveshaft back in but I got the front left caliper back on. Tonight I am going to have it back on the ground and try to see if it will crank after 2 months of sitting. I hope the gas is still good after sitting that long. It smells fine out of the gas filler neck though. I am going to have the front so low compared to what it was. it looks so funny with my old rims on there or with the stock 175/15 spare...the spare is like 2 inches shorter than the new ones. Well I am going to go get some lunch. I noticed how much more room the coilovers give with my 15x8 4 in backspace diamonds. I could use 5 in of backspace easily and run wider tires. I think I am going to get some 195/50r15 BFG radial T/As...they are ony $100 each.

74 260Z...when I bought it it had... 240 SUs header-2.5 exhaust and turbo muffler 14x6.5 eagle star wheels cam and "other internal engine work" stock r180 now... 15x8 black diamond racing wheels Illuminas coilovers with 225lb/in front QA1 springs and 250lb/in QA1 springs out back. Polyurethane bushings Spec stage 2+ clutch 11lb aluminium flywheel new roll pins in the tranny (most work I have done on my Z to replace a 10 cent part) new U-joints toyota 4 pot calipers s12 slotted/crossdrilled rotors high performance rear shoes from MSA acid dipped and recoated gas tank air horns platinum spark plugs new lug nuts...(cost me $35!!!) new radio/cd player/ ipod hookup 9x6 alpine speakers with stainless steel cones...(for da bling...) all new gasoline hoses new mechanical fuel pump new air cleaners(car came with none) working on aluminium dash to fit properly other misc. junk too... coming: new guages borg warner 5 speed other stuff...can't think of right now

aha...so you did come to Hybridz as I recomended you to...I am that Z guy on your other site...welcome to hybridz...

all you have to have is a buzzer hooked up from the headlight power wire to a switch that is off when the door is closed and is on when the door is open. should be easy to make

that is cool...I just stopped working on my car to get something to eat. In 4 hours I have 90% of the suspension installed and just got the axles in...changed control arm bushings, trimmed inner fender with dremel and cut off wheels...Next is the driveshaft. Remember this is all on my lonesome with the jack...

I may setup a camera in this view if I have the time to...of coure that pic is before any mods at all.

I have a really old one on VHS...it would be too hard to get it onto the web though...I will have plenty of video from ZdayZ next weekend though...my motor runs soo much better now than back then. I had it soo rich it wasn't even funny. How about this: I'l put a video up as soon as it gets back on the road before ZdayZ...

here is my deliemma...I have to get the suspension back in my car...I know my balljoints are getting bad and so are the tie-rod ends...I have almost no money and need to save every penny I have just to drive upto ZdayZ...do I go ahead and buy new ones from Nissan or just wait until after Zdayz to put in the new stuff and get some bump steer spacers at the same time? I am inclined to wait and deal with the steering wheel wiggle for a while. I am replacing as many of the rear control arm bushings as possible tonight by myself and may attempt the fronts. I can get the rear suspension back together tonight if I work hard. Would it be easire to put the axles in first and then put the rest in or put the control arms in and then worry about the axles? I don't have any help tonight so I am doing it alone. What fun!

here is a really old video of my Z right after christmas that I found... it was mostly to show my friends...and for some reason the camera picked up a lot of ticking noise. It is not that bad I promise...plus it was like 40* outside and the humidity was like 90% Video Hosting - Upload Video - Photo Sharing
