Yeah it was freezing that night. Good job Im glad you were so much faster then my auto teacher. Your 2nd gear shift was amazing. Are you planing on getting a cage? Hopfully I can get my car out next time. Wed. nights are over but I think there is another open drag night thing on sun. the 26 im not positive tho.

pretty self explanatory. I was changing the plugs for the 1st time since I got the car and cyl. #2 plug was cross threaded. I have performer rpm heads. Anyone have any advice?

I was wondering is a 240sx r200 lsd with the cv half shafts would work ,replacing the stock r180 on a 240z, instead of doing the r230 conversion. I was wondering because it is alot easier to find parts to replace things for the 240sx lsd r200 and cheaper. Also because it is an r200 you wouldnt need the custom diff mount and mustache bar right?

Have you ever thought about turboing the l28? you can get to the 400hp range that way and keep it semi reliable. with the v8 swap plan it to be twice as much as you origionally think it will cost you and then add half again with the ls1. Are you going to do all of the work your self? or pay someone else to do it? Not trying to discourage you or anything because v8 z's are the way to go in my opinion its just they get expensive especially an ls1. well good luck with your project. and welcome.

yeah I dont even like driving until around 10 when its still 90. My problem was that I had a leak near my water pump which I was able to fix. Its still running a little hot but I think I just need to get the air out of the lines now. Well good luck I hope you fix your problem with the fan.

Hey its going into a Z it doesnt matter how much it will bring...j/k:mrgreen:

good luck I'm having almost the same problem. It probably doesn't help that its 115 over here in the east bay.

What a beautiful car.. I love the way the color matches the ls2 fuel rail covers.

If the engine want going into a z I would feel bad a car that clean is getting parted out...lol

What about something like the fitch fuel catalyst would that be something worth doing or is there another side to that?

Well I am only 17 and I know how everything works and have worked on certain parts of cars but I haven’t had to deal with something like this in the last two years, this is just one of the things I have never done. I have people who can help me so I feel pretty comfortable about doing it myself. I think they where charging 2500 to fix the 2 gaskets fix the "leaky intake manifold" which is just the lose bolt. And the coolant leak near the water pump which I am not even sure is existent. They also wanted to change the battery and they said the heater hose was to close to the right headers and would eventually melt, which hasn’t been a problem in the last three years but they told me they needed to no matter what I told them. I was just getting an estimate and the car is back at my house so hopefully I can have it decent condition by the end of the weekend.

OK so apparently my neighbor looked at the car with me. I have a leak in my alternator and distributer gaskets. I also have a coolant leak near my water pump and my intake manifold. Im not sure if I am up for doing the work my self but a shop quoted me for 2500 so I think i am going to try and do it myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I ordered the Leak Down tester so hopefully it will be here by sat. thanks mike

Thanks for the help you guys I am pretty sure it is just that one of the header and intake manifold bolts just got lose on me and there was a little bit of coolant that leaked out and two of the spark plugs were coated pretty well in oil so I am going to try and fix that up and then try and figure out why it wont start tomorrow. I am almost positive the starter is good so I think it is the ignition switch. Thanks again for the help and I am defiantly going to order that leak down tester for the future, mike

It was still the first week I had the car and I was leaving from a stop sign. I wasn’t used to how stiff the clutch was and how fast the rpm's shot up I dropped the clutch and the half shaft u joint just snapped on the side with the diff. It ran fine for the first few days after I got it back and all weekend so it was fine for about 300 miles. thanks mike
