Challenger

Haha, I thought it would hit the table too! Then Id be kind of scared.... Now I wouldnt replace the glass in the van, you know the Z or the subbie is next.

When your testing compression your basically testing a non-firing cylinder so wouldnt all of them show the same low compression if its just fuel washing away the oil....

They do look nice. Is the centerpiece removable? Rsicard, I believe they are 16x8's -2.... thats what his post says.

Convertible!!!

I along with many other people have been trying to tell people this everytime one of these threads come up.... nobody seems to get it.

Mine did the same thing. My engine finally just quit. Im gonna check the things mentioned. Ill let you know if it helps.

Ah well in that case nevermind.

Hey, I didnt see anything mentioning it was a boy... Congrats, I cant imagine having a kid.

Haha, that is funny... (thinking of other rappers..)

Car looks sweet, flat black is awesome. Also like the rear spoiler.

Where did you mail it to? You must have his address, I doubt he moves everytime he changes his address.

I painted mine with the engine paint. I havent driven it yet, but I really dont think itll be an issue. Your really only painting a small area of the diff itself.

Where in Washington are you? Im suprised people are unable to use a phone book these days. If I remember correctly from one of your earlier posts your in the olympia area so a trip down to portland to see Paul (Brapp) isnt impossible. Yeah thrustnut, who is this "bernoulli guy" never heard of him, probably an idiot...

Wow, thats great information brapp! That will definitely help me and many other when it comes to the point of adressing the engine.

So how did he get the graph before the drop if that was the point at which he starting graphing things?

Wrong forum.

No, I need to know what head is on the 73's L28, your using it's bottom end and the 83's top end. I really dont see why you would not just swap the entire engine. The amount of work that youd put in to modifying the stock block and NA system for the turbo could easily been spent on just switching out the entire engine with less hassles.

Turbo needs oil, knock sensor wont be there, was your head a n42 or n47? That would decide if you have dished pistons.

This is I guess what it should look like. If you look right behind the caliper you see the cable coming in. Its coming in from the front rather than how I explained it above. Going over the halfshaft then back under it the opposite way and into the caliper..

Ive been wrestling around with my e brake cables trying to get them to line up with the 280zx caliper ebrake arm. My question is do you have to use the earlier 240z brake cables for this to work? From what I know the 240z's are just shorter, thats something Ive been trying to imitate by trying the get rid of any slack I can by using the left cable on the right side and vis versa. It appears that with the long brake cable you have to go over the half shaft (as it did with the drums) switch directions and go back under the halfshaft and plug into the e brake arm. This makes it where its basically touching the half shaft and the sway bar end link, with something alot shorter you could just come strait in from the front. I really dont want to buy another set of cables nor do I want to wait for them to come in. Anyone have an idea on what to do? SETUP- Z race products brackets 83 280zx 2+2 calipers and rotors Stock 78 e brake lines. Thanks for the help!

I guess Ill ask here since I asked in your other thread and it went to the tool shed... What is wrinkling on the manifold? Did you just use normal paint rather then high temp paint? Or is it something else?

Yeah I was going to do that, forgot. I figure the more information I can include in posts the less people will have to pull their hair out trying to figure out what they need as they read 8 year old threads (what Im doing). Part number at napa was 6412785 for 83-89 Nissan Quest Rear Studs.

Its Uuuge... do you have anything over 1 inch?

Haha, didnt notice that. 2 sunglasses= Twice as cool... Yeah I hate CSI too. Expecially the one with the guy pictured above. Hes so annoying with his stupid comments. "Theres a killer on the loose.... Im gonna get him..."

Wow, these look great. Definitely the easiest "upgrade" so far.
