I just wrote on your profile... disregard. haha Whats your car in the garage for?

Hey everyone, havent been on in awhile. Been busy with my junior year as a mechanical engineer... hasnt left much time. Anyways, I will be moving over to Everett in a couple weeks to work as an intern at Boeing. Just wanted to see if there were any members in the area. Im renting a room at a house of a friend of a friend and I am going to see about bringing my car over although well see if it works out. Ill have the money to work on it but being on the west side will limit my time working on it (currently in eastern washington) to the occasional weekend I come home. I neeeeeeed to finish it this summer and Im ready to do what ever it takes... $$$. haha Anyways, hopefully I can check out some cool Zs while I am over there or if God willing, you can see mine on the road. Now I need to get back to studying, need to push through the last week of school. Later!

Looks like his. The songs kind of lame though. Dont think it will be quite as popular as like a g6.

I wonder if the spring will be strong enough to make a difference. Since NO one here knows if its infact your fault I wont comment on it. Im sure your not so incapable of motor skills (controlling your foot) to where you cant slowly move your foot. That being said, you have a few options as mentioned in the first response you can modify the linkage. When the arm and link are closer to 90 degrees youll have less displacement of the rod for a given rotation of the arm. The article explains it better. Other option is to use a cable linkage with a 240sx throttle body.

Check with your financial aid office before you take classes elsewhere. In some cases taking classes elsewhere and accepting another colleges financial aid can void what you have at UTA. Make sure everything is in order, dont want suprises.

It seems like now everyone has to succeed even if they physically cant. People who are lazy, incompetent, stupid shouldnt be given the same treatment as people that work hard and succeed. My fluids HW is due at 10:00am. 10:01am and you get a zero, no excuses, zero. I am glad I went to a small school. My classes are like 20-30 students. Ill first ask, what is your definition of studying hard? Are you studying like a a few hours a night or all day. I and all my other engineering friends dont really do anything by study. Engineering classes are lightyears ahead of any english or political science class, and they take that much more effort. I literally do nothing but study. Generally Ill get to school 8-10am and Ill study till midnight or later. I do have class and generally work about 1.5 hours a day at my work study job but the rest is studying. At my school freshman year is cake, sophomore year you think your super cool with all your engineering classes but most of them are pretty easy compared to the junior and senior courses. Once you get into fluids, thermo, and heat transfer youll know what hard is. From the sound of it, if people arent passing calc and physics, I cant imagine how hard thermo would be... As for community college, I think everyone should do it. Its cheap, and will let you decide what you want to do. I did running start in highschool where I went to community college for my junior and senior year. I was able to get all my math out of the way, physics, gen. ed classes, etc. Once I transferred to my four year I started into the engineering courses. I cant say for sure but it sounds like the engineering program there sucks. You might consider transferring to a different school. What it comes down to is your parents arent making the decisions anymore, your in college now and your pursuing what you want. Dont let their desires or bias affect your decisions.

Yes, everytime I look at it and have no idea how to fix/finish it.

Download the factory service manual, thatll show you what you need. xenons30.com has it. Well also need to know what year of a 280z you have.

That is a weird combo. haha

Youll need to piece it together. You can buy three coupe seals to do the doors. Everything else can be found individually on ebay, other websites, black dragon, msa, etc.

I got both of my turbo cars for $500-550. Good find.

Google "like a g6 girl singer" it's the first result.

Another thing to research, Matt will have to do specifics but I guess megasquirt wont start injecting fuel until a certain rpm is reached, so if the rpm signal isnt getting to MS it wont know to start firing the injectors.

Alright you did forget a few things. haha Your throttle body, intake, intercooler and block really dont matter. Things people need to know to help you... 1) Where did you buy the MS? Preassembled? Used? 2) Have you checked for shorts or similar wiring failures? 3) Maybe a little more info on the problem and when it was happening 4) Do you have power anywhere in the injector wiring? 5) Does the engine just crank forever or every once in awhile does is sputter/try to start? I havent finished my MS install yet but I remember reading something about injector drivers possibly overheating? Might search for threads relating to that. Remember detailed information is very important with wiring help.

Dont need to ask a question to get an answer... Did you read the entire thread or only the title?

If it fits with the above link, why not put it in the above link?

Above is a little easier than my way. haha Wasnt sure if the 71 had a mechanical pump on the engine as well as an electric at the tank, looks like it does!

Are you wanting it to be turned on from a switch or automatically as long as the car is in run/crank? Run wires from the battery through a relay and then have the relay triggered by a switch or power from your ignition switch.

Ah, two classes Im glad I dont have to take. Although my thermo class will get into cases where the phases/properties of gases are changing like in an engine so thats kind of chemical thermodynamics... I just keep thinking to myself, two more years, two more years...

I studied fluids, circuits and mechanics of materials so I can graduate and get a job with a big fancy engineering company and make tons of money to spend on my Z so I can eventually drive it.

Ah, didnt notice the fire damage was on the spark plug wires and the area around it. Curious to know how much else was damaged.

Looks like a good start. Was there damage to the engine bay harness from the fire? Parts for these are pretty easy to get. Alot of people on this and other forums parting out cars. Even check your local craigslists for parts cars, Ive paid $500 and under for Z/ZXs 2 of which were running turbo cars. You can easily get your moneys worth out of one with pulling parts you need and then selling the car or parting the rest out. Maybe post some pics of any issues with the car, people will be able to get a better idea of what your working with. Welcome to HybridZ and good luck!

Hahah! Oops, posting this makes me a postwhore....

Maybe it has shot wiring and is painted flat black without some body panels installed.
