Thats jacked, Q. This hits pretty close to home. Sorry to hear that.

Are you using the stock 240z fuel tank?

Awesome, ill look into it further and decide if its garbage too. Thanks!

Thanks Larry. I guess ill leave these in there. What is Automatic speed control, speed of what? I kind of wrecked it when i pulled it out. Sorry!

I guess this stuff worked great years ago when the car was younger, but i had enough of stuff not working like it was supposed to. Since i removed everything in the engine compartment having to do with the a/c years ago, i finally got around to the interior tonight. The dash goes back in with nothing inside it other than gauges, a small blower motor, and a stereo head unit. Im estimting i pulled out another 100 pounds just in the interior alone. Hopefully its more. 3 years ago i weighed the Z at the track coming in around 2,750 estimated because i had stuff in the hatch area. I dont have bumpers under the fiberglass body, so that lessens the weight a lot. So anyway here are some pics of the crap i removed tonight along with the items on a scale to show how much they weigh. Somebody please tell me what all this stuff controls? Entire climate control unit, some heater core thing, blower motor and misc crap from the interior. Climate control weighing in at almost 20 pounds Blower motor assembly around 15 pounds Heater core around 15 pounds What the heck is this? I pulled the dash and it fell out from the steering wheel area. Warning something? Next week ill be removing all the tape, carpet fuzzies, tar....lots of stupid tar. After that im lightly sanding everything inside and spraying with Rustoleum 'smoke gray' primer like the Nissan Performance Mag g20 race car http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/september05/g20/. Im not sure if im going to leave it primer, or do something with it. When i get my 6 point cage in, ill decide then. Im leaning toward the primer. I also have a set of Mitsubishi Eclipse seats that are going in after the spraying is done.

You guys are crazy!

Its a complete OHV area. You can bring trucks, buggies, bikes, atv's, etc. How does mid May sound? http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles/recreation/ohv-sangabriel.shtml

So many guys here in my area. We should go do something this summer. San Gabriel Canyon OHV area is awesome for a get together, tailgate bbq, and pics. Does that sound interesting?

Yeah, if you are talking about the Recaro seats. They are torn up a bit, but you can have the foam replaced and the seats recovered.

Ive never read the rules, i dont know them either. The only thing you need to use here on HybridZ is common sense.

I would use the old septic system for storing used motor oil jk

Heck, im still not paying that much for a diff and axles when i have a whole wagon full of other stuff im not leaving behind. All or nothing!

Im boycotting Ecology. I spent all day ripping apart that 88 SS z31, and some other z's. I gathered the lsd, 2 turbos, 2 pairs of 5 lug strut assemblies, 2 seats of rear 5 lug stubs, some pristine z32 tan tweed seats, z32 rear diff and axles, z32 wheels. The prices were outrageous. The cashier wanted $290 for each diff, $250 for each turbo, i cant remember the other prices but i wasnt about to plop down that much cash on stuff i can get elsewhere. Who cares if the parts are hard to come by. They are plain crazy. EDIT: they dont have a price list outside anymore. You have to bring the part to the cashier to get a price.

1 z32, 1 z31 non turbo, 1 z31 turbo WITH 5 lug/adapters/z32 wheels, 1 z31 SS turbo, 2 280zx's. This is at Ecology in Sante Fe Springs near Norwalk. I want to go tomorrow morning, anyone want to meet me there?

Totally man. Remember, i was the guy with the big silver 4x4 Expedition who went to Justins VIP Auto Salon meet at In n Out. Ive been trying to talk Justin into getting a medium sized 4x4 since his family is expanding and we can go do something like drive in the desert and camping and stuff. It would be cool to get a hybridz offroad meet going

You know how to get a guy in hole with his lady. I love it!

Do you guys like this thread? How about a sticky?

BRAPP is there anything you dont have?

I used to have an 89 IROC 5.7 350 and man i miss that thing. Talk about torque and spinning tires on every gear shift, with an automatic.

NICE Aux. One of those yours?

I found my true calling. My ladys father passed away a few months ago, and i inherited his '90 Pthfinder XE 4x4. I took it out to Death Valley this past Friday March 2nd and came home late Sunday March 4th. I havent had this much fun since...i cant even remember! I had 4 people and their gear, all my tools/jack/jackstands/chemicals, oversize tires, and a strap on cargo bag for the top. We averaged 16mpg, which is really good considering we were about 7,000+ pounds easy, maybe a lot more. Well enough talking, heres my pic. Shes REALLY lacking any power whatsoever. I had to use the truck lanes to travel uphill, and the trans overheated several times leaving us on the side of the road for 15 minutes each time.

The site is the EPITOME of Z Car Tech. Going anywhere else would be foolish. Once you lose that attitude, people might be willing to help. Youve also gotta watch out and be prepared for sarcasm on this site. We are all adults, and we get sarcasm and we dont get offended like you do. It just works that way here. EDIT: wow 2 years ago, whats up with that?

Any word on selling the mounts, or at least sharing templates so others can have them made?

Can we get some updates?
