  1. I am in Youngstown Oh. for the week for work. What to do?
  2. Don't forget to conect the various vacum lines
  3. Finished stripping it down to the long block...... All Turbo Tom kit is gone, for sale..... I am going a different route. Still a L24 block, E31 head, with lots of work to both. Now if I can get it back together before the end of the summer I will be in good shape......
  4. I would like to purchase a fuel rail set up from you. I am going to be using this fuel injector. It has an o-ring set up. It is a Fast fuel injector. http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/FST-304200.jpg
  5. I was just at Z specialties a few weeks ago on my way through. I was working in Woodinville.........Love the white......
  6. Most of the time when you buy a cheap knock off there are issues. Balance, finish are two that come to mind right off. Weight, hubcentric Fitment issues, metal quality..... I have split a nice set of enkei wheels back in the day driving down the freeway. I have spent money on a set of Ray's Engineering Lexion 203 for my Lexus and was never happier. Making statement that a wheel is a wheel is a wheel could be nothing further from the truth. Don't get me wrong I have thought about rotas time and time again. I just can't bring myself to have to spend money twice due to issues........ To each his own, I chose to get a nice set of wheels and call it a day.
  7. What is there to do around Bellview. I already stopped by Z Specialties last week. I am in for work then out on friday night back home.
  8. Changes coming. Major changes..... I am currently working out the details but I will be updating the car. I am never in town long enough to get my hands dirty. I am having to turn the car over to a shop to finish out what I don't have time for. I have a new job that has me all over the place, even when I am in town I am grinding out hours and don't have anything left in me to work on the car. I can either sell it. ( not going to happen) Or finish it to be able to play with..... I chose the latter. I am also considering a dropped 4 door tundra with a Paxton or a Vortec supercharger for a DD in the coming year so I need to get the Z on the road.
  9. "Gravel or Grass, Gravel or Grass, Gravel or Grass....ohhh Hell"
  10. If you have the money use oval piping, just remember that the flow calculations are different with oval vs. round.
  11. You might want to edit your phone and put it in a pm.
  12. Eric is a good guy. I have talked to him at length about getting a skyline.
  13. I believe that it is Crystal White then. I had a 2001 Diamond white Pearl IS300 for 7 years.... it was my favorite color other than one that I am considering for my build.... but that will be a secret....
  14. This could seriously be my answer to a few issues....... Now if I can just get my tranny to hold together......
  15. I was looking into the Redline Weber kit. But there is a huge problem with that kit...... it is $5000.00 for ignition, fuel, and ecu...... I wonder what it would take to get the DIY throttle body to run the kit?
  16. Search my name for posts started, I scanned in all of Toms literature that he used to send out with the kits as well as a few supplemets that he sent for water injection, any other questions let me know.....
  17. I was able to find a local Z shop Tidewater Z I stopped in to talk with them for a while the other day. Good guys. They are nuts like we all are. I got some direction from them on some issues I have with my car. I can't wait to go home and play with the Z.........
  18. My father was the VP of the Z Club of Houston back in the late 70's. I have scars on my body from Z's before I had a desire to own them. Being branded at a young age with gas being slung in my eyes from filing up gas tanks, to going to autocross events I was destined to own a Z. I own a 70 240Z, Turbo Tom car. I am friends with the original owner who put the kit on the car. As a kid my dad had a friend that used to come to the house and steal my cookie jar and torment me every time he was at the house. He taught me cuss words and how to shoot the finger. I had always wanted a fast Z. My mom's had a L28 motor swap and my dad's had a few goodies on it as well. We moved to Saudi Arabia and I grew up. My dad kept in contact with said " bad influence" and I got to see him from time to time. He was now ranting and raving about his 911 turbo and all of the things he had done to it. I wondered about his Z......... Fast forward to 2006 I got a call form my dad saying that said "bad influence" needed his newly bought house remodeled.....I steped up to the plate and did the remodel......for my work, I got the Z............. I have been putting it back to it's former glory slowly as I have two kids, and businesses to deal with..... I am bringing it back from it's garaged dungeon of 14+ years and in a few more years I will get his 911 and convert it to a RWB 911............
  19. I am converting my turbo Tom car in the future and plan on spending around $3000. Most of my money is going to the turbo, and ecu........
  20. I am in Hampton,Va. For the week. What is there for me to do other than work?
  21. I am doing what I like. I am building what I want when I want to. It is good to turn down work that I don't want. On the other hand I get to learn something new every day. Maybe one day my daughters will take over where I eventually leave it....... Bit that is not for a very long time...
