  1. I just went to autozone got a can with the gauge and fill it up. I guess it didn't have anything in there it was reading pretty low. I empty the can at 50psi at +85degrees and hurray my a/c is working let's just hope there are no leaks..
  2. I have a 99 chevy s10 I wanted to know how hard is to recharge the A/C system. Any info would be appreciated. thanks
  3. about 3-4 years ago my family were coming back from grandmas house in baja cali. It was around 1 or 2am driving down the toll road when all of a sudden a loud explosion I hear my mom screaming looked at the front windshield there is a hole a little bigger than a baseball. Winshield shatter glass all over our faces. We drove from baja to LA with a busted windshield. The next day we found the rock inside the truck. The rock hit the windshild then bounce off the dash hit the roof of the car, missing my dads head by about 1 foot. It was the scariest thing ever, we told the federales they said its kids throwing rocks off the hills. An they could not do anything cause they just hide in the hills at night. So good thing you caught that kid maybe he will learn his lesson.
  4. Its been a great week lots of work. Im in the High End upholstery business with my dad. The year started really slow with the economy and all. But we started receiving some order from The MANSION at the MGM Grand. This is a high end exclusive luxury hotel. Finally I can save up some money and payoff my truck and have enough money to buy parts for the Z. The bad thing is that I freaking drive 80miles a day 5 days a week. Gas being at $3.71 regular I was shocked when I was filling up. I have to fill up every 3 days.
  5. GO SR . hit up www.nicoclub.com there is alot of info regarding this swap
  6. NO my compresor sucks but im only shooting primer and surfacer so it doesn't matter
  7. Here is my dad's project car but I have to do all the work. I just finished the passenger side it was really bad lots of dents. The next step is the roof and thats even worse. IT had alot of bodyfiller to shape the sides of the roof, came from the factory like that. Well here are some pictures of the before and after.I finished sanding it and applied the PPG epoxy primer today.
  8. did you guys cut the tabs were the brake lines are held were the hard line an rubber line meet, cause mine are hitting
  9. well today I called the person that fixes my computers and told my little problem well he told me that the motherboard is what is at fault. Since there is no beeps or no video on the screen and the fan on the motherboard is going really fast. He also told me I can go take it to a best buy or something to have it diagnose and they can order an original motherboard from emachines. which is going to cost to much plus the labor. I asked him about a upgrade on the motherboard but he told me that I had to buy new software to go with it since i just can used the recovery disk on the new motherboard. So I said screw it I went to best buy got me a new computer. Even though I had the other computer for less than 2 years before it took a crap on me. I purchased a GT5670 gateway computer processor AMD phenom prosessor 8400 triple core operates at 2.1GHz, 2MB L3 cache, 3600GHz system bus memory 3GB DDR2 Dual-channel video NVIDIA GeForce 6150se hard drive 320GB DVD/RW with labelflash audio 8 channel(7.1) high definition with 15 in 1 digital memory card reader with smart copy windows vista home premium with sp1 and AMD live. what do you guys think. Total cost was $590
  10. i just removed the sound blaster card and ram and disconneted the hard drive and just connected the harddrive back is still a no GO. There is no beeps or nothing appearing on the screen. Can I just go buy a Hard drive and conneted and insert the recovery disk and start all over. My other old ass computer just took a crap also. Im using my lil bros computer right now.
  11. the problem is I can't start my computer. The computer tower turns on but there is nothing on the screen. As soon as I turn it on it breezes
  12. i think thre was a trojan virus but I still can reboot to acess the desktop so I can run microsoft virus thing to get it off.
  13. Ok my computer crashed. windows xp blue screen then is shut down. Its a emachines i got it last year. So when I try to turn the computer on It turns on but there is nothing to display on the screen and the cooling fan on the motherboard stays on and its going really fast. I press and hold the on/off switch to shut it down and try to started again but same thing happens it doesn't reboot. Do I need to purchase another hard drive. Right know im using my old ass computer that I got when I was in 7th grade, and it sucks.
  14. 1year 6months and counting and cost over $8,000 and more to come. including all the tools I had to buy and supplies.
  15. Is anyone going to watch the fight?Who are you going for? Im a big fan of marquez...............
  16. so i Went to check out the truck today it looks good. He said he replaced the tranny he showed me all the paper work of work done oil changes and stuff. I far as price he will let it go for $4000 since he got a new commuter car. Since he still paying for the truck he has to let it go.I'm going back on monday and finish all the paper work since the bank still has the pink slip.
  17. I think the bank is going to approve my $5,000 loan. So im thinking of buying a 1999 s10 extra cab 4wd $4,500 with 118,000 miles. I going to need a truck since I cant be driving my Z everyday. I commute 80miles everyday and for the work I do I sometimes need to pick up upholstery supplies. Since I started to snowboard and will continue 2008-9 season I will need a 4wd truck since I don't want to damage my dads navigator. Mileage: 118,600 Body Style: Truck Exterior Color: Champagne Interior Color: Gray Engine: 6 Cylinders Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: 4WD Doors: 3 var vin = '1GCCT19W5X8168844' Features: A/C: Front, Cruise Control, Power Locks, Power Steering, Remote Keyless Entry, Bucket Seats, Airbag: Driver, Airbag: Passenger, Anti-Lock Brakes, Cassette Radio, CD Player, Premium Sound, Power Windows, Alloy Wheels, Tow Package Selling Points: This vehicle has the ZR2 package which includes 4WD, fender flares, upgraded suspension, new off-road BFG tires, third door and fold out seat, A/C, cruise control, intermitted wipers, power windows and doors, sliding rear window, single CD and cassette, premium sound, tow package, auto alarm with keyless entry, and a truck shell. Condition: This truck is in excellent condition inside and out. I have all the regular maintenance paperwork. Most mileage is freeway driving. I really don't want to sell this truck but I've bought a commuter car and i need to cut out a car payment. I've only used 4WD once on the beach in about 10 feet of sand just to check it out. I'm only the second owner, and i only used it to commute to and from work. It gets good mileage @ about 20 MPG. This truck would be great for trips up the mountain this time of year
  18. Yes I drive it, I ran out off gas tuesday morning had to walk 1 mile for gas. at 6am. Ok I just took the sending unit out and I hooked it up with the wires, turn ignition on and moved the arm up and down and looked at the gauge is its working. When i install it onto the tank it reads FULL AGAIN.
  19. I have 240z that reads fuel gauge full all the time. I have installed a new sending unit from MSA a few weeks ago. It work for a couple of weeks then it stop and reads full all the time what could cause this problem?
  20. it's real chrome i paid $500 bucks cause they had cracks and were bent and were rusty had them shaved
  21. Today I was changing oil on the tranny since I have been having trouble with it. I heard grinding in 1 and 2 gear, when I removed the oil plug pieces of metal. They look like the retainer for the bearing about 1/2 long and have the shape of a bearing. So how hard is to replace the bearings and seal and synchros.
  22. US version bumpers shaved and Im still thinking about doing something between the air dam and bumper
