  1. ^^^ What they said. Definitely get it. I swear I have more fun driving the sub $500 cars more then my nice Z. There something about driving a cheap, cheap car. Just puts a smile on my face for some reason.
  2. Glad you got part of her back. That really sucks though. Did insurance cover you pretty well?
  3. Having a 3 car garge similar to the setup in the pics, but mine is in the back of the house on an alley, I would go w/ the way it sits. If you ever want to pull something big into the garage you will be very happy that you have 22' to manage through then 10'. Don't care what it looks like. Try and navigate a 101" trailer through a 10' door, not fun. Too bad the roof line is the way it is. One thing I did was swap the 20' door w/ the location of the 10' door. Let my wife have closer access to the garage door for less worries on me.

  6. I sent you a PM back, did you not get it?
  7. I'm a dumbarss! I COMPLETELY did not read the "Nut" part. I was thinking 280zx Stub axles.
  8. What are you wanting to spend on a CLSD?
  9. When I go to the JY next, I'll take a look. I'm describing the right cap yes?
  10. Paul, $20 total?? That is crazy cheap.. How could that be right? Not calling you a liar or nothing but my gosh. That must mean the demand is very low.
  11. The two injectors look completely different then the others. It looks like the Pintel cap is missing on the one. The other I'm not sure.
  12. I thought this was pretty cool: http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/SuperSprings_leaf.htm
  13. I just realized tonight looking after looking at the trailer, a WDH will not work due to the design of the trailer. I'm going to have to use helper springs until I can change some things around. Rats, I found one for $80 on craigslist too!
  14. Did you find one? I think there was one axle in the JY from an early 87 turbo car. I can't recall if it (end cap) was on the axle or not. They should just pop off w/ a good push on the CV right?
  15. I just bought a car trailer, but my Nissan 4 cyl Truck is not as stout as I would like in the suspension. The empty car trailer is barely there when I tow it. It only weighs in at 750 lbs and pulls great up to 75 mph. With a 280zxt on the trailer and what appears to be the correct position of the car on the trailer, the rear of my truck squats to much in my opinion. Now I've towed a variety of Z's at least 10 times w/a tow dolly from Uhaul that weighs in at 650 per there site and have had zero problems, but the weight distribution is much different w/this trailer. And the trailer itself has a very low center of gravity. Is it better to reduce tongue weight w/ the use of helper springs added to the leaf springs or w/ a weight distribution hitch like below? Other thoughts? Is there another name for helper springs??
  16. Nice. I enjoy almost all cars. Thanks for sharing.
  17. Ah, makes sense now! Track away. Looks awesome then.
  18. What you did looks very nice and the color goes well w/ the car, but why didn't you pop out the front and rear glass? Were the rubbers in great shape? My car was done w/ the front glass removed, but they got lazy and didn't do the rear. And of course the rear is starting to show some bubbling. Just curious.
  19. I may have some in the next few weeks. Plan on picking up a 77 parts car. $95 for the stub axles and companion flanges + shipping.
  20. If you simpley fliped the tire around would it clear the brakes? (Put it on backwards) Then you would have to make sure it clears the fenders and such. You only need it for a spare to limp home right? Spares are always ugly anyways! Well, most are. You may be able to use a small stock 14" wheel by flipping it.
  21. LOL, that was great. I don't remember that...
  22. I replied, just working! Did you figure out what you want to spend?
  23. What are you willing to spend? Hadn't actually thought of selling them as they are on my son's car now, but I don't think he has much attachment to them. I have some 15" Turbo wheels I can put on his car eventually. I only have two of the four center caps. I can take close ups of them if it is worth my while. You can PM me an offer.
