The way I read the the post with "stroker" was more a tone of I don't believe it is what it is because of the p30 on the crank. I wouldn't question it is what I was implying. Sheesh! Lol

Been taking a break from body work and sanding recently. So I decided to rebuild the E31 head while I figure out what days I'll have available to rent the soda blaster I decided to go with. I was originally planning to rent a dry ice blaster, but renting it is $700 after taxes and thats not worth it at all. Instead the same place offers a soda blaster for $250 a day which is much more reasonable and the clean up is still really easy. Has anyone every used this product?

Im pretty sure that Rebello wouldn't lie about selling their high quality parts. Regrind or not, they know what they're doing.

So what is the cost of this? This is for just the ring or also the headlight covers as well?

Which tip are you speaking of? Single or dual? You can always just bring some info and hit up muffler shops and see what the price would be to get a custom set up.

Well, it looks like I lied and haven't been able to do any work yet. I've been trying to catch up on doing some yard work before I can get to work. a few people contacted me about my cylinder heads, so that will get me going to either purchase my rims or get the money to renting the dry ice blaster. But if i get my rims I can sell the Enkie92s on my car now. to make some money back.

Just watched it today, you beat me to it. Interesting turn out though.

I agree, just bolting on parts onto your l series you won't be getting really any high hp numbers, your going to need to spend some money on motor work, head porting, the triples etc. And then you have to get to doing the tuning on the carbs, timing and go onto dyno sessions to get to those numbers. Cheaper to go turbo and either get megasquirt or haltec. Unless you want an NA set then better get to saving. Do you want a NA set up or turbo set up? If your thinking sr or rb swap, that'll probably be in amounts of 5-10k by the time its all said and done and driving. What's your end goal to have in your car? Yea tony! I need to see some sites I want to see what I can get out of my stock numbers matching L24. Suggestions?

I've read that you'll need to run spacers with +10. Not sure if the suspension set up was stock on Spitz17 fairlady or not. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/wheels-tires-brakes-s30/40526-rota-rb-r-16x8-10-225-50-16-tires.html

Link?

Ohh, saw you selling one and I thought you were sellng it now. Was going to ask what happened.

Try using the search feature on here. I'm sure there's someone who has them. Nice looking Z!

Welcome to HZ 415. You live in the bay, good to see another person with a Z here Im selling my enkie 92's soon but they are not by any means wide. They came on the car when I got it. How bout some pics of the car with how it sits now.

What happened to the MN47 head you were going to do a build with?

The blue fairlady Rebello stroker is Spitz17 on hybridz

NIce ride, Good luck with your build.

interesting, I know you can get the 3.0liter stroker package which is pistons, cranks etc for 3kish on the site, I think heard someone paying for a motor for 5 or little higher that gets about 240hp. I might be wrong though...

My friend is selling a entire maxima diesel motor and auto trans for 1200. Its on craigslist in our area.

I have some, but they are dished.

Your selling an MN47, aren't you trying to build one with an L28? hat happened with that?

As for an update, I'll wait until HZ finishes its 10pm-12am software updates to type one.

Well it's been awhile since I've had an update. It's been a rough last few months, and I don't know many people that have gone through anything like this... On Feb 13th when I was at work my wife finally went into labor, I was leaving work early that day anyways. I get home and take my wife to the hospital for the delivery...We were to supposed to have a text book delivery since we had a text book pregnancy. After we checked into the hospital and go to the room my wife wanted an epidural. She was a little dehydrated so they got an IV on her and ended up giving her some narcotic pain med instead. When my wifes water broke, we noticed the fluid was not of normal color(clearish), she had pure meconium(dark brownish and very thick). Our baby was in distress and we lost her heart beat, the Dr's rushed my wife off to the OR to do an emergency C-section. They took me aside and had me put on scrubs to be ready to go into the room, so I waited...and waited...and waited...still no word for me to go in... The nurse came out and told me I had to speak with the Pediatrician, so he took me into a room that was quiet, the Dr. came in and sat me down to what will now be the hardest, most awful thing that has happened to me in my entire life. My Baby was born at 3:56pm on Feb 13th, she was born without a heart beat, wasn't breathing, and was anemic and suffering from seizures from the anemia. I asked what caused this and at that moment they couldn't really give me an answer until they got back some results from the placenta being tested, I had to go break the news to my wife who was in recovery and didn't even know what was going on since she was asleep for the whole procedure. We were both devastated and in complete shock that this happened to us since we didn't everything right, and we had no issues for the whole pregnancy. The Dr wanted to transfer her to another hospital to do this special cooling method on her since she was having seizures and wasn't sure what was going on with her brain, I sign the paper to get her over to the other hospital. With my baby and wife being transfered to the other hospital, I went home to take the dogs out and on my way tot he next hospital, it was about 1:30am on feb 14th when I got to the other hospital to be with my wife and to take her down to the NICU to see our baby girl. The DR. we spoke with said things looked bleak... Our hearts dropped and we started crying, all we had left to do was wait to see what happened. The next time we heard from the Dr was at 6:00am the next morning, he had called our room to wake us and told us we better come down stairs to see our daughter because she wasn't going to last much longer... My wife and I go down to the NICU, the staff had set her up in a private room for us to see her and hold her and speak with her...we were prepared from the very beginning of the pregnancy for bringing our daughter home to hold her, play with her, and lover her...In no way were we prepared to say good bye to her, as I sit her typing this tears are filling my eyes. I don't talk much about this and typing seemed to be better for me to get this out. My wife and I took turns holding her, talking to her, loving her, but as any parent would say, No parent should ever say good bye to their child. At about 7:30am on Feb 14th my daughter Delilah Sage Lau-Darabian passed away in my arms... I had many plans to have my daughter and I work on the car together, go drive together, maybe get her to be a mechanical engineer one day. She passed away from a rare thing called Fetomaternal hemorrhage, it is when the placenta for some reason reverses the blood flow, so our baby's blood was being transfered to my wife. And because of the blood loss, she became anemic and then got seizures, and her organs started to shut down. The Dr's said it had either happened that day to a week when the transfusion started. There isn't much known about it, just that it is one of those rare things that no Dr knows why, but it shouldn't happen again. I have been taking care of my wife for the last 2 months to get her up physically and emotionally. It's very quiet in my house, and its very uncomfortable, so I have to have the tv on all the time for sound and to keep me busy when I wasn't taking care of my wife. She is now physically better and will be returning to work next week, I have been at work and Im looking to get in the garage as to stay busy since I just don't talk to much right now. I hide my anger and my sadness, and I just want to bring my wife down talking about what happened. I needed to pour myself into writing something and my thread seemed like the place to do it even though I didn't put an update yet. And I do have one, just wanted to get this off my chest first. It will be 2 months on April 14th for how old my daughter would've been, hopefully I can stay busy that day...

I'd try another shop then. They should go by what you want, rather then change your mind onto something else. Shops can still check out the motor for you too then getting one on ebay. But if your rebuilding the whole motor then I guess that probably wouldn't matter.

If you want to spend 5k on a motor I'd contact rebello racing. Well known and they have a warranty for their builds.
