That's just awesome.

[did you know I can do this? % video %]

Very cool.

[Weird Words / Sayings]

"The King is dead. Long live the King"..... that doesn't make sense to me.

 

Isn't it just that the old king died and now there is a new king. I like the phrase, but in the Megadeth song "Kill the King"

[Jdarkme's 1972 240Z]

Well the car has finally been my daily driver since the last update, but I've added a couple of things:

 

I upgraded the headlights to the H4's from datsunrestore, they are noticeably brighter but I still need to add relays:

 

I changed my mirrors because the other one's were too small:

 

I added a front bumber and painted it flat black:

 

 

And I replaced the drivers seat with one that a friend sold me, the other one was really sagging and this one holds me in much better:

 

I'm also going to ugrade the suspension because kyb shocks and unknown springs just aren't cutting it.

 

I bought the Tokico Illumina's from John at Betamotorsports:

 

 

And I bought the springs from ArizonaZcar, 180front 200rear:

Interesting Although the plate looks a little big... lol

[Looking for a fuel level sending unit.]

I've got a new one (and the o-ring) that I bought a couple of months ago, ended up not using it. Just pm me if you want it.

 

And about the tank, if there's no visible rust or crud inside of it, just flushing it is fine.

[Head cooling on cylinder #5 - solutions?]

What is THIS??

I've never seen it before. RB head on an L6 block?

or is it an S20?

 

Forgive my ignorance.

 

It's the OS Giken head.

[****vote For The Best Custom Z Diecast****]

My vote is for Ruby although they're all really great. The first pic of the ZF1-J is just priceless, run away!!!! The green and gold combination is great and who wouldn't want an offroad Z powered by an RB. Great job guys.

Do you have an airdam?

I ask because I remember reading that if the airdam is not sealed to the radiator support that it basically dumps all of the air under the car just before it gets to the radiator. Search for threads started by bastaad525, I think he had the same problem.

[Post your photography!!]

Very nice, the last shot is my favorite.

[Post your photography!!]

I'm leaving up to the Divine. I have listed it pretty steep... maybe it won't sell. The downside is, if I keep it, it will hinder my Datsun development.

Wow that must have been a really difficult decision to make, especially since the going rate for those M3's is pretty high right now.

 

Its one of my favorites as well. Its a terrific handling car AND a realistic daily driver. Tough combination to beat.

 

When I was looking for a car, that combination (and the looks) were what attracted me to it. The problem was that it was out of my price range and there aren't too many of them.

[Maybe My Mistake Can Save Your Life....]

Wow that is crazy, at least you made it out ok and nothing major happened.

[Article – Journey’s End – Z history from 1996]

Great article, thanks .

[Post your photography!!]

Its time to sell the BMW. Last night I took a couple of final pictures, for the ad. and sentiment...

 

It's too bad you're going to sell it, beautiful car, the first generation M3 is one of my favorite cars.

[BRAPP's turned red!]

Ron,

Don’t you have some pressing EMS questions to answer, coil brackets or diff mounts to design?

 

Oh, don’t forget…

 

Ferraris are RED- Ford emblem is… blue…

 

Hot chics wear RED dresses, Monica Lewinsky wore BLUE.

 

Coke-a Cola over Pepsi.

 

Killians RED over Pabst BLUE ribbon

 

...Hell is RED too...

 

 

You guys always entertain. Congrats BRAAP.

Great article, I didn't know the 280ZXT was that fast compared to the other cars of the time. Thanks

[Has this vid been posted??]

Don't know if it's been posted before, but those were some nice cars, thanks for the link.

[v8 z conversion? help please]

You really need to search because what you are asking has been covered extensively on this site.

But read this:

Just search, search, and search, then search some more and you'll know what needs to be done to perform the swap.

[cold air intake on v8?]

It seems as though this would be the best way to do it:

 

No long piping, plenty of cold air and a very clean design.

Once again thank you, that's a really nice car, and I might as well thank you for the other ones, all of them are really great.
