There goes another Turbo motor.

Check out the car of the month over at Zcar.com. http://www.zcar.com/month/ Someone we know maybe? Congrats Scott (ZR8ED). Looking good. Marcos

Ozoner, I have been thinking of installing that set on my Z. Is that set you are using the older one they used to make or the new ones they are making now for $100? Marcos

That one's been on Ebay before within a year ago. I guess it didn't sell before. Marcos

Compression measurements are supposed to be taken with the throttle plate open. Having it closed should still yield similar results but will take more cranking time to get there. Edit: Oh, about the over-revving i'm not too sure. Maybe someone else can chime in on that one. Marcos

I sent you a pm, I think, about the dash with guages. Let me know. Marcos

Maybe those pics are from when he dropped the motor in. But seriously, my opinion is that times change and people along with it. Some of us see Scottie making this big change and feel that he is making a big mistake. I myself believe that I will never get sell my Z but you never know. The guy I bought it from had it for 15 years and had told his mother that he was never selling it. I have the car now...he has a boat. LOL Each one of us knows what is best for ourselves. So do what you have to do. Marcos

Here is an old pic of my car. Still looks the same, just doesn't move under it's own power anymore. Marcos [/img]

Yeah, let us know how it hold up because I will want to build one too. Looks awesome. Marcos

I am new to TIG welding, well welding in general, and that is the same thing I have read and heard. I have seen the sugaring effect myself on my SS practice pieces but have set up my argon gas cylinder so I can back purge real work pieces. Marcos

I turned 28 last month. Happy Birthday. Marcos

Here is the pic of the mocked up 2JZ. I fixed the contrast/brightness a little Cyrus. Marcos

Hey Terry, I posted some pics of his car at last years show. http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=27815&highlight= Marcos

My first Z was a gray 1979 280ZX and I put the same Rota rims you had on it. I thought you got a pic of my first Z when I saw the pic on your site. LOL Marcos

From what I know about MIG welding you don't need inert gas when you use flux cored wire but inert gas is required when solid wire (w/no flux) is used. Inert gas is always needed when you TIG weld. The most commonly used inert gas is Argon or a mix of Argon with other gases. Marcos

It's hard to even look when custom work gets damaged like that. I feel for you man. I know how much it sucks when you put part of your soul into something and it gets f-ed. Hope you have an easy time with the insurance company. Marcos

Here are the images that Cyrus sent to me today but picturetrail won't let me upload vids. Can someone host the vid for Cyrus? The downpipe looks awesome. Marcos

Here are the images that Cyrus sent to me. The shifter is further back but not too bad. Keep the images coming. Marcos

Easy Mikey...Hold on to your horses. Here are the pics that Cyrus sent. All I can say is...Perfect fit, looks awesome. I am sold on the 2JZGTE and will hopefully be getting one soon. Marcos OUT with the old. IN with the new.

Is there a way of getting more of these light assemblies? How much do they cost? I do agree that the air dam point up, a little, and looks kinda odd. Marcos

Problem solved. I was also using the account info and forgot about the forum profile. Thanks, Marcos

Any news on the signature problem? I changed mine too but it doesn't take. It stills shows the old one. Marcos

I am hosting these pics for Cyrus. As you can see, I think he died after pulling the motor out. LOL Marcos

Cyrus...you have a pm. Marcos

I had a few good discussions with the members that showed up and also had a chance to burn a hole in John's welding table. Very informative get-together. Thanks for everything. Marcos
