That is a very good point. Especially since I didn't put the dash back together myself.

My dad is a Mechanical engineer in his late 60's. He always told me to change the oil when it is cold so all the used oil can settle in the pan and it is much easier to work on. I'm curious if doing this cold could cause more wear to the motor, being that once drained and cold, oil presure is needed to be built up before parts begin to be lubricated. Where as warm, everything has a nice coating from recently being run. Thoughts? Or even if there is more wear, the difference is not significant.

When I turn the lights on the Red Brake light comes on also, otherwise it is off. What is strange is it does not seem to work when I use the emergency brake. Short? Thoughts?

Was that the car that was forever on tampa craigslist, saying he would do what ever engine swap you wanted?

Where in FL are you?

Welcome! So what did you end up paying for the car? Delivery? Just curious.

Dont forget to clean and check the Wate Temp. Sensor connection.

Yeeee Haaaaawww! Sorry, I couldn't resist!

To keep this Z related, I'd keep the Z. Store it at friends, parents, or just pay for the storage. If things do go sour in the relationship, you will have something to keep your mind off of it. The Z will be good therapy for you.

Woldson, how old are you? Just curious.

Please take what I say with a grain of salt. I feel my wife can do much better than me. Not just because she is incredibly beautiful, but I think she deserves the best person in the world. My insecurities make me exceptionally paranoid, even more so after the affair. Anyway, these two specifically are too broad of a statement, unless of course you’re oversimplifying them. I understand you may have because of the internet. There is no meat (real answer) in the two above statements. #1 is a statement for her to get out of the relationship to do what she wants to do. #2 is her way of blaming it on you while you’re away and not being there for her. It is very easy for her while you’re on deployment to talk, seek and find someone else and that is just her side. There could be the snake in the grass person, friend or not, trying to weasel his way in, knowing full well you’re no where around. Again, this is just what came to my mind because I experienced it. You may be 100% right. It could be your both young. Who knows, but you need to do a little more careful digging from my perspective. The "Why" in your above statements is what you need to figure out. It may be you, it may not. Knowledge is power and will help you make better decisions.

I'm not saying that she is being unfaithful, but DO NOT rule it out. Statements like you just made should send huge red flags up. I did almost exactly what you are doing, trying to change, make myself better, be anything and everything she needed, but in the end it really was just her. She did inevitably come around, admit it her mistake and recognize that I did love her. I’ve finally come full circle and have even forgiven my ex-best friend. I really believe that is what helped me the most to move forward and stay married. It was also nice to bring him to tears! Good luck either way.

Would you get a decent paint job on that thing already! Just kidding, looks amazing. I do like red Z's but silver is my favorite.

Sell it and go take this class with the money. "Getting the Love you want" is the name of the class. http://www.rickbrown.org/workshops.php Looks like there is a class coming up in SC also. Though I don't use all the skills I've learned, it was still the best $600 I could have spent for our marriage. Good luck w/ the marriage. Did she want to separate or you? If it is her, don't be surprised if there is another man and don't be naïve enough to think there is not one. I’ve been down that road and trust me, women are awesome at lying and figuring out ways to make things happen if they want to.

Lol, I got a Free Saturday to myself! Wife out of town, son spent the day at a friends house and my daughter went to the beach with a friend. Very nice weekend all in all.

Phil, are you using the MSD 6AL? I am, and I used this thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=102614&highlight=tach My tach works perfect now in my 73.

The Lime Car is Mike (Z-Gad) Car. I'm pretty sure those were BC wheels, but I thought he sold them. I thought I saw a post before but couldn't find it.

I've never demanded a bargin, but who knows maybe it works! http://tampa.craigslist.org/wan/669705266.html

Agree 100%. I started a ground off on 85 Jeep CJ7. Got screwed on the body work. I had $8K in it and was so bummed about the body work I sold the whole thing for ruffly $3500. I didn't make the same mistake w/ my current Z. I paid $3750 for it. The guy I bought it from was owed money and took it on trade. The first owner had it for over 20 years and had over $16K in it. I was lucky to be able to speak w/ him and he went over everything that was done to the car.

Your car is not turbo charged currently per the pics. Are you going to get all the Turbo car electronics, AFM, FP, Injectors, Dist., Oil Pump, Dist. Drive gear, Exhaust MF, etc.... First?

That is perfect. I like that a lot. Very nice job.

Bobby, you used this bracket: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=60_61&products_id=8 And made these holes larger (Both top and bottom) and ground down the tabs along the red line, both top and bottom? And bought Calipers like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-300zx-Z32-Aluminum-Rear-Brake-Calipers-S14-S13_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33563QQihZ004QQitemZ140239569561QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Is that the 280zx rotor?

You look due for some new tires too. At least your okay.

If you've got the money, fight it, otherwise move on. Do you have access to a garage for storage?
