  1. A bar across the roof of a t-top car would be lame. I personally like the look of the trackless windows.
  2. The s130's were supposed to much quieter when they were new. Seems as though most of the items you listed as being noises are ones that could be cured. Spend some time on it and see if it gets better.
  3. Our thoughts and prayers are with your son and family.
  4. If your gonna paint it all. Why would you skip the center section?
  5. Whats the difference between the 280zx and the 240sx rear calipers?
  6. Thats what I thought it was!
  7. The stock gasket works great if the deck surfaces are straight. If the surfaces are not very straight you'll have proublems with the metal gasket. Makes sure you check both the head and the block.
  8. Just wanted to say good luck and stay safe to all the Z'ers down south of me. Let me know if I can help.
  9. I agree if you can then go with the 220v unit but, if it's not the right thing for you then the 110v unit will do lots of things for you. I have the Hobart 140 and have been very happy with it so far.
  10. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/280zx-Turbo-Nissan-or-parts-car_W0QQitemZ7997928975QQcategoryZ6763QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Check out this auction! Am I reading this right? He's trying to sell the car as if it only has 31,108 miles on it. I don't think so.
  11. These are the ones that I like. Wish there was a kit that you could do this with.
  12. Personally I feel like you can break the engine in any way you want to but, it's all about how long you want the motor to last! Seems to me like slow breakin would help to seat things altittle better until you know for sure everything is together right. I'll tell you want my dad does with his new boats that he gets every year. He goes out and runs the crap out of them until he is comfortable it's not going to loosen up anymore. He tells me that he thinks they run alittle better like that. He has no way of knowing for sure if it really helps any but, he does have lots of experience with boats ets.. So I tend to believe him about this atleast. If you want to gets som good info about all this then I would look up some post by Grumpyvette and see what he has to say about the subject. This guy has tons of info about motors and such.
  13. The only time that you would really need to let the motor idle down is after being on the highway for awhile or after getting on it. Biggest thing is to run quality oil and change it on a regular basis. There is no reason for a turbo car to have the oil coked up in it. The only real reason that happens it due to an owner not maintaing the vehicle properly. I personally believe that all the hype around turbo timers is just to sell another product. Others may disagree but, this is my experinced opinion. As far as the break in period there is no need or advantage to leaving the wastegate open during break in. Your not supposed to getting on it during break in. Right!
  14. I thought it was a funny name!! I guess the jokes on me this time!
  15. First off Welcome to the best corner of the Web. This is a great site and you'll be able to learn a ton if you hang around for awhile. For the answers to your questions we ask that you try and search for the answer and then if you can't find it ask.
  16. I used to run 12psi with a P79 and flat tops. The throttle response was great. It's in the engine managment.
  17. If you had ever met Phantom you'd know that was real funny.
  18. I've sold a couple of these things latley. Seems like the guys that need them never figure it out until the last minute. Guys that use them swear by them.
  19. I've read about this a couple of times and it sounds exactley like what I want. Where would you buy it?
  20. Not sure about using the grease in a gun but, you can buy the grease at Autozone. It comes in a small clear tube that is applied by hand. It's certainly not dielectric grease but, looks like it.
