Datsun350Z

I'm a New Yorker, But My Z is NEPA All the way! It's topless too, but not pretty enough to come out yet. Where are you from baracu? My Z is about 45 minutes east of scranton.

Motorcycle gas door seems like a nice touch. What bikes have non-locking tanks? I don't want to carry an extra key around, those things are heavy...

Pretty sweet. You may possibly have too much time on your hands, but still a worthwhile project. Check this out for your next project: And if you still need more power:

Better off letting maaco do it. you're paying $300 plus equipment, and supplies to get a paintjob that will look worse than maaco. Sorry if that's rough, but it's realistic. Nevermind, I thought you were renting the garage instead of going to maaco

Mine is out, i'll be driving the TT. This weekend is supposed to be bad weather, and i'm low on Zcash, so I won't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting mine finished.

I don't think i'm going to lower it either.

Thanks for the advice, I'm not discounting it in any way. In fact, i'm sure you're right. That's a bridge I'll cross when I come to it though. My driveway you can see in the first picture, Remote control cars don't bottom out on it.

It's a sunday driver, so I don't plan on putting many miles on it, or going anywhere off the beaten path, so I shouldn't have too much of a problem with it. Clearance picture:

This is true... They could go up a few inches higher, but I'd be burning my legs daily.

Thanks. That's what i'm having trouble with... I don't mind how it looks at all, but looking at it just gives me a feeling that I forgot something.

I'm having trouble with one spot on the Z, behind my rear wheels, I need... something. I looked over a few generic duct products and stuff on ebay, but can't picture any of them looking right. Anyone wanna throw up a quick sketch/photoshop/product picture that might make this spot look a little less empty? If it includes something complimentary to it in front of the wheels that's fine too. I don't want to go through the work of totally changing the rear. veritech did an awesome sketch for me a while back, but it's too much work for me to get done this summer. I just want to throw in something quick, work it up, and paint it. Thanks in advance.

It took a while to get the pipes in, but i'm super pleased with the results. Anyone trying to find a decent pair of sideskirts, skip them and do these instead! Now I have to make the rest of the car look as nice as the exhaust:2thumbs: More pics here: http://www.putfile.com/pamastiff/images/130905

Did I miss the e-mail? Exhaust is done... check the V8Z forum for pics

Mine will most likely be there...

Is anyone bringing their Z? I'll be driving the TT from 11356 most likely. If I do happen to get the Z going, It will be driving with no roof from 18428.

It's been getting the exhaust done though, and the things that do need to get done, aren't. Gas tank, fuel lines, and plenty more i'm bound to run into driving the car for the first time.

Exhaust came in... Should be done this week. I got a lot of movin and shakin to do on the rest of the car if i'm gonna drive the Z there.

I dunno... I think the idea of a v8 rx-8, and a rotary corvette after the motors were in place would be kinda funny.

I'm in. My Z is still at the shop getting the side exhaust done. If it's not ready by the time you guys get together i'll swing by with the TT instead. I really have to get going with my bodywork to have it at least primered for the end of july.

I just bought the por-15. nice combo package. I'm doing my tank as soon as my exhaust is done. If you're still wondering in a week or three i'll let you know the results.

No police report. I called and reported the accident. They said they were on their way. No one came. I had my girlfriend walk to the precinct (3 blocks from the accident) They said they were on shift change. the first available officer would be dispatched. 3 hours later... No one came. Finally flagged down a passing police car. He told me since they didn't see the accident happen, they couldn't file a report. I didn't believe him, and still don't. But I don't want an angry cop filling out my report, or looking for my car later on because I made him feel like a jackass. Quicker: That's the route i'm looking to take. From what i've seen so far, exactly true. They don't care what happens to me. They'll be glad to pay me and jack up my rates, I just won't claim it if that's the case. It's exactly like if I was parked in a parking lot and I saw someone hit me. Why should I bear ANY of the burden for this idiot who wasn't paying attention?

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to fish around with both companies and see where it takes me. My insurance is willing to pay the claim... I have a $500 deductible, and i'd rather pay the $400 out of pocket than even go through them. They seem to want to just pay it though, and aren't interested in going after the other company. I'll keep you updated, and i'll probably be back with more questions. By the way, the Z is in the shop getting the exhaust done. I hope it'll be ready by next week so I can get the bodywork finished up before july. I need to drive it this summer or get rid of it. I'm getting fed up with myself for not making enough progress.

Those are the only type of lawyers I have found. I wasn't injured, so they generally aren't interested.

I was involved in an accident about a month ago. My insurance company said that if they were handling the case, I would be 0% at fault, and the other driver would be 100% at fault. The other company told me today they are denying responsibility for the accident because "I was changing lanes during the accident". I told them I had already made the lane change, and was stopped when he hit me, and that all of their correspondence with me reflects that, as does the damage. They got flustered, and told me that If I disputed the claim I could go through my insurance to fight it. I don't want to have my insurance do this because I'd rather pay the damage than see my premiums increase over $900 of damage. Anyone know about small claims court, or how to start a claim? Do I need a lawyer for this? Will I get my ass handed to me if I don't lawyer up? Do I go after the insurance company, or the driver directly?
