RB26powered74zcar

Greetings from the gang @ HybridZ.org!!

I'm running a fresh alt I bought from O'Reilleys Auto Parts. I took a RB25 alt I got from Venus, into O'Reilleys and the guy at the counter spent around 1/2 hr. searching the books, then went to the back of the store and came back with a match. I swore I posted the info on the part number/ applacation, but I can't find it now. There was a tiny difference on the casing where it bolts to the alt bracket on the block. I think I had to go pick up a new bolt that holds the alt to that block bracket, cause I think the spread is around 1/4 wider on this alt, so you need a longer bolt, and a few washers to shim it.... no biggie to me anyways.... Its still holding up fine and working as it should. I will try and locate the info tomorrow on the part number.

I have the exact same issue. The low beams are nice and bright, but once I flick on the high beams, they go dim. This is after a friend and I installed a complete new EZ Wire harness thru out the car. I just haven't dug into figuring out whats the prob yet, so I'm glad I saw this post. This is prolly exactly why mine are acting this way.... Thanks for the tip guys!!

Can you post some pictures?

Sounds knarly...

Great advice!! I keep one handy.

Exactly!! thats what makes this Z Cob (no pun intended ) so utterly bitchin..... Your bound to win many awards with this gem. I'd be proud as hell to have it!!

Oh, sorry bout that. Something told me you knew the difference, I was just making sure.... I can't answer your orig. question then, sorry.

Gimmie gimmie..... I 'll take two!

Sorry, but the rb26 is the only rb with itb's....

I seemed to have lost track of where I posted it at before. Have you seen the thread where I mentioned it Jitter?

Ha!!... he emailed me saying he'd end the auction for $650.00 I bet he was bummed at the closing cost. Thats what you get when you don't present a item for sale the right way. His description/ pics were pathetic...

Nice score Rags!!! I would have bid it to win if your name would have not been there... Glad to see you won it!! j.

Way Way Wicked!!! Now, for some money shots to top it off..... (engine bay pics please )

I give up..... I did mostly everything suggested here for cleaning up my computer, deleted tons of stuff not used, and ran clen up programs. Here is the results, worse than before (ie; Available Physical Memory ) Although everything now runs much faster. I'm very happy with the results as far as speed goes (pages open real quick now).

Well, I've taken in what every one has suggested, and used a little bit of what every one has suggested. My computer seems to be fast as it used to be. The thing is, I don't know yet if what I've done to it has messed up anything. Everything seems to be working. I moved some things, deleted and turned off others.... Here is the task manager expanded as requested:

Here ya go..

Here is a screen shot of whats in the start up tab. I had to take two shots to be able to show them all.... I'm running Mozilla Fire Fox, isn't that as good as Opera? Please explain to me more on how I can accomplish this advice you gave me>> " 1. clear the dektop. dont just nest files or folders. move them to C: or somewhere else. Leave as little items as possible "
