I dont know where i am, lol. I love the natural jdm scene and keeping a jdm car "jdm" but i also love muscle cars.. I just want a pretty simple rim style, but at the same time something that will "pop" and stand out, bring the car/body mods out. I guess if no one has any ideas, Ill just figure something out maybe get some rotas like most people lol.

Just trying to get a rough idea of some wheel options.. i have a faded red/orange'ish' 240z, its going to be all stock as far as the body goes besides rims.. its going to also be low.. so i was wondering, what color rims would look good yes, this is a stupid thread and question, but its a really hard thing to come up with, and i wanted to just see what other people have done,thought of, or have seen. thanks any help would be very kind

yeah, i love almost everything about it, right down to what looks like a z31 turbo hood scoop? well, by any chance would y'all know who makes those rims? hehe

Is this anybodys z? or does anyone have any info on this car? thank you

pwhaha, I didn't even catch that thanks, Im going to check out those champion ones, i keep hearing about them.

well after all.. we decided to bleed the lines again, and now the brakes work, but now in the back one wheel is always locked up and cant spin it, and the other wont lock up when the brake is pushed.. at all...

My radiator is leaking from 3 spots and is just old.. so im looking into getting a new, fancy one so i ran across this, and was wondering if it is any good, if anyone has bought one? thanks http://www.genesisautoparts.com/product/all35099X7107aa.htm

well i ruled out everything besides a bad master..but when i hit the ebrake it stops really good, so im thinking the master is bad, or the little reaction disk jumped.. like you were saying

hmm,i may do that when i get a chance oneday. This is kinda way off subject but the car has a Holley four barrel.. and the little vacuum hose from the brake booster to the carb blows air when i hit the brakes... and the brakes dont work until i go all the way to the floor, and still then they dont grab much.. anybody have an idea? or can lead me into the right direction? thanks

lol that's all i really wanted to know about turbo'ing it thanks but also, umm this may sound stupid, but when i first got the car, i took the valve cover "cam cover" off and everything was clean "really" clean, and on the cam there was some purple mark.. i couldn't read if it said anything because it was almost facing down.. i dont know if there is a brand that write purple stuff on their cams or if it was just a mark lol "im stupid for saying that most likely" but thanks, i still need to do a pressure test and see what kinda compression it has..

well i believe the spark plugs stick out of the hole sorta speck.. so your gonna have carbon and stuff on that first little tread on the spark plug. and it looks like you could be running lean or/and over heating.

Ok so about 30 minuets ago i took out four spark plugs,and to my surprise one was up in the cylinder pretty far and i could see it was the "dished" style, and it was sooo shiny and the cylinder walls were shiny too! so basically i have a f54 block with dished pistons and a n42 head with mild cam.. "it lopes when at idle" Is the f54 with n42 head and dished pistons a stock combination? thanks again

that's what i thought from the resource i have done the n42 head never came on a f54 block.. well today or tomorrow I'll take a spark plug out and see whats in there, and do a pressure test, and ill reply back with what i find thanks again!

thats good to know do you have a build thread up on here i could check out? i dont know what year my l28 came out of, but i think its a 83 280zx.. so i dont know if it has dished or flat top pistons, but i might check today and see. Whats better?

well because some would say its a "newb'ish" question..

First off i know im going to get hammered for this but i have a question,yes i have done my "homework" and i know some stuff, so im not a total newb. I have a 71 240z with a "83?" l28, the block is a f54 and the head is a n42. so the question is would it hold some boost? i know the head has had some head work done to it but i dont know what exactly has been done. but it does have a cam.. so would it hold any good boost? thanks P.S. i dont know if this is the right spot for this thread

hi, I've just got some stuff done to my resonantly bought 1971 240z and was ready to try to start it in 6 years of sitting. I went to start it, and nothing happened just the little..i guess "voltage regulator" was clicking: then the starter started clicking, then it started slowly turning over the engine really REALLY slow "while my dad was tapping on the starter". Mean while the little wire that goes from the starter to the starter solenoid was smoking, and burning so i stopped cranking it. what do y'all think this could be? I'm thinking the starter could be very rusty inside and trying to free up causing a load on the little wire.. any opinions on this would be very nice thanks P.S I cleaned almost all the connections.
