there was a video somewhere on here (a youtube video) of a LD28 S30 and it was pretty quick, I don't know if It was turbo or not but I don't think it was. as previously mentioned you don't need a huge HP number to have fun, we had a S10 with a 4 banger but it had a stick shift so it was all good.

The rivet idea seems like it would look pretty cool

That looks pretty cool. and as for aircraft spruce... GRRR their actually about a mile away from me and they wouldn't hire me as a purchasing assistant!!!!. But quick question, you said you had it in wrinkle finish, will the sticker stick to that ?

What the H is that sticking out of your hood, Also did I miss the thread where you got that Vue air dam properly mounted ? I saw that original post hmm, I go check back.

Okay I am having a brain fart I cant remember what TC stands for I am stuck on "true control" lol but I didn't see anything in that kit with TC on it. Summit only has poly bushings and when I click on suspension parts at MSA its blank, should I just search for OEM bushings for the "TC". Computoman leave me a heads up with any problems you run into please.

Oh I understand that I won't be able to do it all in one day, but work is 2 miles away so I figure I could do one wheel get the hang of it and then if I don't have time either ride my bike to work or slowly drive my car to work lol. I just don't want to take it apart and realize I don't have something and have to put the old stuff back in.

Okay so my first week of work I got 60 hours of work in lol. SO I'm going to be buying my new suspension finally. So this is what I have down so far.

Are there any bearings I need to replace other the the wheel bearings as I got those already. I just have to make sure I have everything when i start because I only get 1 day off a week

well I didn't know if it was an actual bulge or just the CF got twisted or something (I have no idea how CF is applied made or anything else) so I didn't know.

omg i did not even see that, and now I can't not see that. now is that just a problem with the way the fiber is positioned or will it still have a bulge if it was painted.

I like the metal in the hood vents might do that with mine. Not a fan of the CF look though. But wh is that hood poorly done ? what do you look for ?

That looks cool, not so much the front air dam thing, but what tail lights are those 350z ? also i think it would look really cool to get into a 350z and see a 240z dash

What exactly is the purpose of these, to make less rotational mass ?

I agree with the flare nut wrench idea, $17.00 for a wrench isn't that bad when you look at how much everything else costs :|

Hey, if I don't already have something planed for that day I could help, I don't have much experience with that sort of thing. These next 2 months are really busy for me with birthdays weddings and events, and I started my new job but if I don't have anything planed for that day I would gladly help you. But like I said, I don't have the experience so if you cant someone else I understand.

I would rather have the extra garage because theres more space to do stuff.

Wait aziza you have power seats ? whats up with that I was under the impression that the Z's only had 2 options, turbo and non turbo ? Well I guess the turbo package had the power seats then. But yeah i agree cruise control is nice.

HAHAH, I was just curious I didn't know if maybe they kept the clutch in there because it was all the way to the floor to make production more simple or something

Alright I use those tips probably not for a bit because I don't ahve all thsoe supplies now and no cash to get them

Okay so I got old hood vents from the junkyard sanded them down a bit and painted them with generic flat black paint. Then i put gloss clear coat on it and I can't really wash them, they look like crap in some places after washing it. Also I got OEM mirror housings that I sanded and painted the same way and they look like crap, I don't get it and i clearly don't know how to do this so any help would be cool. Also if I were to have someone paint it how much would that run, just 2 mirrors and 2 280zx hood vents ? EDIT this might have been posted twice my browser messed up.

Well this might be coming out of left field but as far as I know when water freezes it freezes from the top down. so the surface is frozen then I suppose when the rest freezes under it I pushes ice up and not water, where as water can flow out of a hole sheets of ice might not.

Just to let you know I was at Pick a Part in Ontario and there is a 82 280zx with analog dash sitting there if you need parts from it. BTW cool looking car kinda looks like the inside of mine.

At the pick a part theres a 280zx with an auto transmission but it also has a clutch, is that normal or is has it been swapped for an auto ?

If autozone has Raybestos pads they stop pretty good, it's what i have, I got the most expensive ones not sure if they are QS or GS or what ever their called.

Well this is what it looked like before I painted it so maybe you'll rethink. http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7735/11qr6.jpg haha, but no it's better then a big spot of primer.

Trust me when I get a job it will be done right. Also i had some extra hood vents lying around that I am going to paint black, hopefully it will look cool on the red. But who knows.
