ZDrifter

Hope shes alright Skib. Just remember... Im close by.

I have this in the classifieds aswell. I also have the motor mounts and driveline left over. If there is anything else I can think of I will let you guys know. Here is the picture of the intercooler setup. The only thing different is I painted most of it black to make it more low key.

It came off of a r33 rb25det series 1.

Just letting you guys know I have a rb25 trans, intercooler and piping, and 3" exhaust left over from my car if anyone is interested. Id like to see $1,000 for the trans and any resonable offers on the other items will be accepted. Thanks -Spencer

Mine does You just have to make them want it till they go crazy....then its the best

That would be a pretty fair price. I figure a stock rb26 with the boost turned up a little bit, 3.90- 4.11 rear end and lsd will make a well rounded track/street car. I work on exotics during the day so its kind of hard to go to something a little bit slower at the end of the day. Plus theres nothing better then pulling a f430 in a Z . Well up to atleast 120mph haha.

I do know about the prices for a rb26 motorset I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences buying the motor alone. Not sure if you read my whole post but I just pulled my RB25 out of my Z. I already have the tranny for it so I just want to upgrade to a RB26 for more power in its stock form. I want something realiable on pump gas that I dont have to mess with. Also Ktown z if my post sounds like Im being an a$$ to you I dont mean anything mean about it, just wanted to clarify it. Thank you for the info. Noticed you are makin some power with your 350z, let me know if you have any videos. Id be interested to see what its like.

Alright so I've hit a little bit of snag with the economy and need some advice. Most of you probably don't know but I pulled the rb out of the z. I was planning on selling them seperatly but then decided to stay with it and try and beat the economy right now but it's not helping. I've worked about 30 hours in the past two weeks so something has to go. I really don't want to sell the z so I started thinking about just selling the motor. It would give me a little extra cash for bills and later on I can just upgrade to a rb26 when work picks up. It will take some time prepping the z for paint anyway. Has anyone just bought a rb26 motor complete and for how much? I'm thinking about letting my motor go for $500 bucks. Anyways any advice will help. Thank you

10 degrees, foot of snow, no heater, and rb powered z. And yes I was driving in it with summer tires. Did not drive well at all. I was going over a pass and had to turn around after I got pulled off the road by snow and went off into a field. Not fun

In my opinion Im getting tired of strait edged cars for the most part. It seems like all the cars these days are designed with a ruler only ( not saying that every car designed now is ugly but its getting old ). Also cant anyone design a car without huge gaps between body panels (fenders to hood, bumpers to hood, etc. ) Ckelly78z made a good point, hemi challenger will most likely be around the same price with a lot more going for it. The challenger is a beautiful car and with a couple small changes you could have something everyone is gonna appreciate ( lower it and get rid of the gotty wheels they put on them and get some meats in the back ) But the challenger aside, I dont like the look of the 370z and not even the GTR. I didnt like it when I first saw the design and I gave it time till I saw it in person. I still didnt like it. Its a very big car ( the GTR ). One of my customers just purchased one and brought it in. Dont get me wrong, the performance numbers and whats its capable of is quite impressive but the looks arent. I guess what Im trying to get at is, Im waiting for nissan to design a sports car that will be a looker, perform well, and stay in a price range that is reasonable for the average car enthusiast. It doesnt take a $320,000 F430 to make a car look good, if that makes sense. Maybe Nissan should start talkin to Pinin Farina? haha. Well anyway, to me sports cars are way to expensive in this economy. These are all my opinions and arent directed to insult anybody.

The Z is up for sale. Comes as a rolling chassis. More info on Craigslist. Here is the link. http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/911275699.html Any more questions shoot me a email.

Maybe she would be willing to give you a "ride"

Yea they are quite nice. I work on them myself. They have the superfast trans in them which shifting is down to 100 milliseconds. Sport mode opens flaps in the exhaust so you can actually hear the car now instead of the standard gran turismo and it also comes with a new powerplant. You outta drive one

I would shoot Clifton a PM. He helped me out choosing my clutch. Tell him your set up and he should be able to help you out. Hes putting down close to 700whp and in the 600's with torque and hes using a single disc clutch still.

I would start with some easy diag. Pull your plugs and see what they look like, they are like a high school girl, they tell a lot If they have a white residue on them I would start thinkin about pullin your head and replacing the head gasket. If they are wet with oil might be time for a rebuild. If the plugs look fine then its time to do a leak down test and compression test. Hope this helps you out.

The R5's are strait piped, theres only about a foot of exhaust behind the turbo, and they sound awesome!! It is in the top ten of my most fun cars to drive. My GM got his from a customer for 20K with around 30K miles on it.

611 hp NA. Same engine in the Enzo. You should hear them with a Tubi on it....oh yea.. Beautiful to drive, and very well composed but if you get into it you better know what your doing. You will not stop smiling when you ride in it!

Alright. Did some work on the z tonight. Took almost every connector apart on the passenger side under the dash and cleaned them out. I found two that were dirty with crap. Cleaned them out and put some electromagnetic gel in there for good measure. I also found that the connection with my fuel pump was poor in one of the connectors so I had to pull it out and seperatly connect it away from the connector. Everything seems to be working normally while it was idling in the shop and the fuel pump was running very strong, probably the strongest Ive ever heard it. I just have one more question. If someone has a factory manual and they can look up what else is in the connector with the fuel pump wire. It is the connector that is just inside the car near the firewall. Thanks for the help.

Everything came back to life at the end of the night so thats why that rules out fuses. Its either a bad connection or corrosion.

Thanks for your help. I will start there.

I just need to get one thing right big phil. You say your not a very happily married man...Now does that mean you and your wife are having issues or does it mean that you are not happy because you cant do the things you use to do because of being in a family situation? Now if you and your wife are having issues thats one thing.. and I'm very sorry to hear that if thats the situation. Also none of us need to be in that part of your life unless you bring us into that by your choice. Now that thats aside if your very in love with your wife and cant be without her in your life then good for you because I have been having no luck with that what so ever. If you are just wanting something that will make you happy and enjoy life itself more but the wife says no then I have heard about this situation everyday from the guys I work with haha. In my opinion she has a point. Its dangerous, you have a young daughter and your wife obviously loves you to care enough about your well being. BUT and this is a big but, we are guys. We love almost anything that involves us with danger and cool guy stuff. I dont believe anyone should control you but when somebody vows to be your partner they vow to care for you through anything. Your wife wants you to be safe, wants to be with you and have you there for your daughter growing up. Now what I think you should do if you really want this bike is this- Sit down with her or where ever your alone with her, talk to her seriously about it. Start off by saying.... Dont say no until you hear everything that I have to say. Both of you are going to have to sacrifice to come to a conclusion. You will have to sacrifice stunt riding, no matter how hard it is, its too dangerous to do in this time of your life having children. Explain to her its for the joy of riding. You miss it and you want it back. She will have to sacrifice with trusting you in that you wont do anything stupid and you will think about your family before doing a wheelie at 80mph. Seriously, have fun with it but abusing your power is really not worth dying over it.

Please read everything so you can correctly help me. Ok short story first... Im sitting in the taco bell drive thru and engine shuts off. Try to start it and it cranks. My fuel pump is loud and I cant here it. So the pump isnt running, WTF. Keep trying, pump jumps back to life and I start the car. Not 2 min later same thing happens. So push it out to the parking lot and Im messing around with it for around 10 min and finally the pump kicks back on. Now the cars running but I have no dash lights, no brake lights, volt meter isnt reading. Ok now to get some things clear. I had washed the car about a hour before. I drove the car after that for around 15 min before stopping at the taco bell. Then things started happening. Specs: 1978 Datsun 280z RB25DET Still has original harness for everything except the engine harness. Walbro 255lph pump hooked up to stock wiring Now to narrow this down I am looking for a junction where the dash lights, volt meter, fuel pump and rear lights get power because most likely water is getting in there. I still got power at the ignition switch and was able to turn the car over and still had headlights. Also when the turn signal is turned to left or right the hazard lights come on. WTH is going on!! So I havent got into too far because my damn food was getting cold and its getting late but Im gonna start looking at battery connections and go from there. My real question is if anyone knows of a plug or connection that would have the FUEL PUMP, DASH LIGHTS, REAR LIGHTS, and VOLT METER. Another thing I need to mention is that when I got the car home finally with no rear lights, no dash lights and no volt meter I was sitting in my garage and suddenly everything came back to life. The only thing that stayed wierd was the turn signals turning on the hazards. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thank You. ~Spence

Heres your chance....

Change the headlights to more of a new porsche style headlight and it'd be beautiful.
