Any pics you can share? Sounds ultra coool. I am close by in Colorado Springs and you have an ultra rare car for this state! Would love to see it at some point. Yasin

J - So what did you decide and what the outcome with your CCWs? Yasin

WOW...I love that manifold!....Yezzzir!

Will have to grow on me but looks the business for sure! Yasin

Any pics you can share? I can host them for you, email me at: slownrusty@yahoo.com Sounds pretty sweet! YASIN

I laughed when it said that he immediately jumped up and put his hands on his hips like Superman and then ripped off his shirt..!! Rich apparently tried his hand at Body Building at one time and fell on his a$$ on that one too. LOL Yasin

Just start with a 0.160" and a feeler gauge cut up and slipped under the lsh pad as per BRAAP's post. I was OK using the Prussian Blue, it can be ordered from Jegs you only need one tube. But like Jim said and BRAAP does as well, prefer the Sharpie, some even use quick drying spray paint. Yasin

Says $30K invested and willing to sell for less than $10K! Looks well built with the right parts.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978-DATSUN-280-Z-TURBO-400HP-OVER-30K-Invested_W0QQitemZ330037583106QQihZ014QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Someone should jump on this! Yasin

A reliable British Sports Car...finally!

Also do a search under my name as I just finished this and yes its VERY involved and time consuming to do it properly. I just finished setting up a Web Cams into my P90. Yasin

Whoaaa easily fella! I bruise easy like fresh fruit...and yes I have a 280ZX - a slow one! Yasin

Holy molY!!! Any more pics you can share? WOW!

G-Man - What is the O.D of the compressor hosuing on the BigMama Blowzilla out of curiousity. Yasin

MEAN!! Yasin

Do a "Search" this has been discussed extensively. But....because I'm a nice guy: 1) You need a boost gauge for sure 2) You need an adjustable and boost sensitive FPR (Aeromotive my preference) 3) You need a Manual Boost Controller (Turbo XS my preference) 4) Does not hurt ot change the fuel pump to a Walbro GSL392 (255lp/h) Word of caution you will be at the ABSOLUTE max. with the stock injectors at "around" 10psi...so at 12psi...make sure you have a widband on the car to make it does not lean out. I ran my car at 10psi for a couple of years and it was a bullet. Yasin

Awesome reply! Two thumbs for you!

J - No problemo! Glad to help. Yes Xtreem ss available at pretty much any decent (large-ish) parts store, if not you can also buy it online pretty cheap as well. Try that first and let me know how it turns out, failing that my offer stands. I would be interested to hear CCW's comments prices on re-finishing the wheels. As your wheels are a true 2 piece, they would also unbolt your center spoked section as well as part of the re-finishing process. Good luck! May shiny wheels be in your future! Regards - Yasin

J - Do not despair my friend! I have done ALOT of wheel re-finishing and metal work over the past decade, and trust me when I say those are VERY easily fixed...no panic required. Here is what you can try: 1) http://www.xtreemusa.com/metalpolish.html I have found this stuff works better than all the other Meguirs, Mothers etc etc metal polishes out there on the market. You need to use a Microfiber cloth to wipe the wheels off once you are done wipping with the X-treem impregnated cotton. This stuff has a built in sealer BTW too. 2) If that fails then you have no choice but to use a buffing wheel on a 4 or 4.5" powerful hand grinder - I use a big boy Milwaukee something that can spin 10-11,000rpm with ease. Then you need to buy genuine cotton buffing wheels (10"-11") and polish the lip in two phases, first using an etching clay bar to get rid of the marks left by the Soda alkaline and then a polishing clay bar to give that polished luster. The centers have to be masked and re-painted black thats the only way to do it properly. I did a set of old skool Western wheels for an AE86 buddy of mine as I do this on the side for a little extra and have a neat set-up at home now as I have done this so many times now (I have done well over 30set of wheels now and I am currently doing a set of 300ZX wheels that will be fitted to a '67.5 Roadster - it will be sexxy). The procedure I described to you in the above paragraph is exactly what I did, except his wheels were 30years old and were really beat up, the brake dust was literally impregnated into the aluminum and alot of curb rash to buff out AND aluminum corrosion from being driven through a few winters, still they did not take me too long and the end result speaks for themselves. If you are interested, I can help you in that I can 99.99% get them back to that brand new look or I can walk you through how to do them yourself, it wouldn't hurt to call CCW but I bet there is large time delay and I am sure they will not be cheap. You can do this work with the tires still on BTW, except if you ship them back to CCW they will insist the tires be pulled off, or you can ship them to CCW with the tires on and they will charge you for removal, re-install and re-balance (of course!). Here are those ole skool Toyota wheels I did for my friend - he was VERY happy with the outcome as he was thinking that the wheels were not salvageable. I even refinished the backsides as well for him. They will be good for another 30years now, unless he drifts the car off the mountain! Before: After: Hope that helps. Yasin

Thats what I'm thinking....here is the last Dyno graph from Jeff Priddy....unless he's been back to the Dyno with his recent upgrades? Jeff's torque is simply awesome! Yasin

That gives me alot of inspiration as we have the same turbo and I have a few other goodies as well. Congrats G-man thats a huge feather in your cap! Awesome...wow.. Yasin

Anyone catch the first one tonight with the two Fox Body 'Stangs...the driver of the losing car was a sexxxy red head....WOW! She put the "Q" in CUTE! Pity she lost... Delishhhh!!!! Yasin

Bro...Don't hate on Michael...he is just trying to find himself when things did not work out with Ms.Presley... You need to resize your pics too. Sweet car all the way. Yasin

Congrats Q thats awesome!!! Just in time for when I come up to TO in a few weeks! I need a car to borrow..saves me renting some Neon or something...LOL Hope to check it out when I'm up. Yasin

I think my eyes just viewed a slice of heavan.

The best way is to jack the nose of the car as high as possible on a hill! And place a plastic funnel in the neck of the radiator and have the car running for 15+minutes of so, you want to do it do the t-stat opens and closes a few times. I always hate purging air from the cooling system - pain in the butt! Good luck Yasin
