  1. found this a few minutes ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1873373949
  2. yeah thats the one. its just a waste of a modern car. and also you will not pass smog in most of the states of the US, which renders the car useless all together. the guy could have made it look better by using cool valve covers (non chrome) and painting the engine and heads black. i honestly think it looks like poo.
  3. i have a weirdo day and then i find this when i come home http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1872942452
  4. OMG you are in for a treat. when you pull that seal, you will find that the rust has made its way where you cant see. i had to get a chisel and grinder to eventually get rid of everything, bondo it back up perfectly so the window sits right, and paint it all. i am still working on it as i havent found a windsheild seal. its been about 2 weeks since i drove my car. and the worst thing about it, is that my girlfriends 79 has the same problem and is next in line right after mine. it never ends
  5. no this blower motor just plain sucks. people who are original 280zx owners tell me that it never blew hard from day one.
  6. hey i am fighting with the moisture to keep the inside of my windows dry and clear when it rains and when it is cold. the stock blower motor for the air system just really sucks. it never blows hard enough, so my inside windows are always wet. is there another blower motor i can use in my 79? ive heard something about honda motors, but i didnt follow up on that.

    New here!

    welcome! i myself am doing an sr20deT swap into a 240z.
  8. somebody shoot me! update.... the car is in peices looking like its getting restored. i cant believe how much crap i found wrong once i got all the trim peices and stuff off. i bet you guys know how i feel. so far the front windsheild area is completed minus the glass itself. i have pulled the rear quarter windows and found so much gunk that it pissed me off and kinda gave me the "whip out the sandpaper, grinding wheel, and wire brush" look. ok i need my car to be on the road in about 1 week tops. i will finish this i hope..... i am not sane right now
  9. i actually have Naval Jelly rust preventor that im going to use tommorow.
  10. ok i pulled the broken windsheild yesterday. i found lots of rust and a few holes under where the sealant and rubber goes. This is what i have completed so far. I stripped the paint with a wire wheel down to the metal/rust. I sanded everything and smoothened it out. I picked away little peices of rusty metal with a screwdriver and pliers. Then i sanded again. I applied the original Naval Jelly to the rust and exposed metal, liberally. Tommorow i am going to go back out and clean up the naval jelly from today, then spray some rust preventor that is black on the areas of my work. All the holes and uneven surfaces get bondo (not much to do anyway). I am then going to sand everything down one more time. i will then primer on top of bondo. I will find some kind of sealant to apply on top of that so water runs right off. The windsheild will be installed the day after all of this is done. What do you guys think or suggest?
  11. for those of you who *may* not have seen it yet. Zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom! right click and save target to save to disk and watch.
  12. i got the windsheild out. i used a little hobby knife. i cant call a pro just yet because i have to naval jelly some of this rust and then seal it all up and then bondo it. i have to get the gaskets or whatever they are called for the window. the pro guy does not carry them.
  13. hey i didnt know there were actually hoses for race applications!?!?! im gonna look this stuff up, that is so awesome. Living in SoCal, you cant be too defensive about your vehicles cooling!
  14. are you looking for the hose that adds 15hp or the one that adds 30hp?
  15. how in the hell do i remove this thing? it keeps cracking everytime i try to pull it up and there is this VERY thick and tough sealant holding it in.
  16. wow, i still like the lotus. you can daily drive the lotus.
  17. i was driving to the store and some chick flew by me on my side and hit a shopping cart splitting it into 3 peices after the cart rolled out from a shopping center. i didnt give her any crap because i saw the cart rolling down and i dont think she did. but anyway, a huge chunk of the cart flew up and busted me windshield. i am sooo pissed right now. ive started to take off the strips around the window. this will be a good time for me to get at that rust on the roof and cowl panel. screw me sideways! now i need to spring for a new windshield! Now does anybody around me know where to go? i need to get this glass installed by tommorow. also, what type of sealant shall i use? i have some caulking for indoor/outdoor use, will this be ok?
  18. ROTFL how can one be happy? aye i understand, no girl = more $$$ for car. Hey ill be right back, im gonna tell her the bad news.
