  1. So, does he mean: "once my car is warmed up and I try to restart it, it doesnt want to start and will run rough for a few minutes." OR... "my car runs rough for the first few minutes till its warmed up, then it has a hard time restarting." Seems kind of obvious to me that its the first one or he isnt communicating very well. If he means what he wrote, when the fuel isnt moving it will pick up alot of heat from the engine compared to the fuel continually being run through the lines, through the tank, etc. So when he stops the car and goes to restart it the fuel has gotten hotter and as srbigbutt said, the fuel can boil until it has cooled off sufficiently by running through the fuel system. Thats my best guess.
  2. I cant say for sure but my first guess would be that could actually do the opposite of what you want.. To a point the metal should flex and putting in a spot like that of stiff weld could actually cast a breaking point. Does this make sense? Also change your title.
  3. He said he has already warmed the car up. Also why would the injectors "cool off" (if it is heatsoak) after a few minutes of running?
  4. Remember you cant do everything. Im not sure if your going to go to college once you graduate but its something to think about. There js alot more Id like to do/change on my car but It just wont happen until after school.
  5. The wheel is just sitting there... You can see the jack stands under the car. Looking good toni, I really like the rear end. Keep up the good work.
  6. I believe that car is owned by Vildini Motorsports or a customer. Check there website. I remember there being a thread about the car but I dont remember where to look for it.
  7. Just get new ones. Are your rubber pieces rotted? If so BD Auto sells new chrome with the weatherstripping. Isnt to expensive and fits ok. It doesnt have the normal bend the stock ones have but it works fine. I you really wanted to you could use the new rubber off the ones from BD and then use the original chrome.
  8. Just so you know caliper paint is just marked up engine block paint. So if you get more just get the engine paint.
  9. Have you tried going to home depot, lowes, or a paint shop? You can look at which gold is closest.
  10. Ditto. I believe it said 39, only one more year.
  11. 6 rotors of fury! Atleast you can keep the strait 6 alive..
  12. Yeah I bet your employment rate is 100%, 3 out of 3....
  13. Yeah, last time I checked you were supposed to "keep the streets safe."
  14. Its hard to say what you would pay for "a fiberglass dash." Best bet is to make a prototype. There is one on the market already.
  15. Might change the title to "280zx". Might get more of a response. If you wait a couple months I can sell you some 81 turbo calipers...
  16. Yeah they are rebuild from shucks everything moves nicely. Right now Im trying to find out what brake lines Ill be needing for this. Ive heard the suzuki samari lines work...
  17. Check your fuel lines going to the tank along with the tank. Seems like it may be getting clogged up after running a little bit. It backfiring from the intake can mean lean conditions which could mean its clogged. Also, probably not a good idea to pull off the fuel line while its running... or under pressure.
  18. Did the goo gone help at all? The man that did my headliner got a bunch of glue all over my car and that took it off easy. Paint was fine.
  19. "280z" Get the book "How to modify your L series" and read the sticky on "l6 head specs, etc" in the L6 section. Id consider looking into the p90 flat top combo. Zhome.com has a writeup on it I beleive. Did you say you have both a n42 and n47 head or n42/n47 engine? Youll have to be sure you use the cam in the proper head. (externally oiled) As for not finding threads in the archives, keep trying... its there and its not hiding...
  20. Dont know regarding the inner rods but I believe there are some 4x4 tie rod boots that are a perfect fit. Im not sure if the tie rods will include the boots but you might look into it.
  21. Ahh, noticed that. I had http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php?do=getdaily Set as my homepage so Id just click the homepage button to load it. After the update it seemed to always say please wait between searches. It would always say 13 seconds, or 2 seconds, etc. For some reason now it works for me....
  22. Why use the rarest, most expensive, and sometimes liable to break transmission? Im sure there are alot of other awd drivetrains that you could use instead.
  23. Haha, thats funny and sad... Same guy?
  24. Yeah, you have to specify what the "shape" of the field is.
