On ice nothing works good. Even my Quadradrive Jeep Grand Cherokee had problems and it was significantly heavier than your Talon.

Look in my album on this site. Alpine system - 6 1/2" component speakers onthe doors with 1" tweeters on the A pillars, 5 1/4" speakers in the stock position by the seat backs and a 10" subwoofer in a custom ported enclosure in the back with a 500 watt RMS amp split 1/2 & 1/2 between the rfront speakers and the sub. Absolutely fantastic sound quality.

From: "Douglas Lamptey" Save Address ReminderSubject: TOP DEALDate: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 00:08:45 +0000 [View Source] From: Mr.Douglas Lamptey,Manager International Commercial Bank.First Light Kaneshie BranchAccra Ghana.ATTENTION SIR: My name is Mr.Douglas Lamptey; I am the manager of the International Commercial Bank Ltd, First Light Kaneshie Branch.

This FUND is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit during the last year balance sheet.

I have since then placed this fund in a SUSPENCE ACCOUNT without a BENEFICIARY.AS an officer to the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money, so this informed my contacting you believing that we can assist each other. You will get 30% of the total fund at the end of the transaction while I will re-invest the balance in any business of interest in your country.Note: there is practically no risk involved. It will be bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of this money who made the deposit with our branch so that my Head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.I will appreciate it very much if you accept to assist me and indicate interest by replying.NB: This is highly confidential, as you may know that I am still working as a banker in this bank and will like to retain my position.Waiting to hear from you.Best regardsDouglas Lamptey+233 244 507 193.

Something needs to be modified then. I'm running 311 at the rear wheels in a 3,000 lb 280Z with street tires and turning a 12.9@110. The best I've ever gotten is a 2 second 60' which gave me the above run. You should have a .4 advantage on me in weight alone but you should also gain with the slicks. Are you running automatic or manual? What size tires? What ratio differential? On another thread on this website I believe it is MAS280 had a '95 corvette with an LT1 / 4L60E combination with 320 rwhp running an 11.81 quarter. A 240 at 2500 lbs ought to be able to equal that at 300.

Lone Star 1 was running mid 12's with a stock LS1 in a 240Z with the 4L60E tranny on street radials. Zfan was down in the 11's with his 383. I think you'll need a bit more than 300 rwhp to get into the 11's with the 240 - depending on how much you've stripped it down. What are you looking at for differential gearing and what size slicks are you planning on running? If you're planning on running a slick about 26" tall then a 3.70 LSD would work pretty good. If you go with a shorter tire you may want a 3.54 or 3.36.

Interesting - ex naval aviator here. I'll be in Pensacola the Week of May 15th for some R&R with the family. Used to hassle with OV-10 pilots all the time when I was training at Whiting Field. BTW - if the car has been sitting for 3 years you also need to drop the fuel tank, inspect it, and probably clean a lot of rust & crap out of it. Then new fuel lines & filters.

I've looked extensively at the Arizona Z Car brake offerings and they are impressive. I've also looked at Modern Motorports and JSK Innovations (now defunct). My goal included daily driving the majority of my time so a functional e-brake was a must. I didn't want to depend on a line lock. For that reason I went with Willwood Superlites on the front (JSK or Arizona Z car) and the Modern Motorsport 240SX/300ZX conversion on the rear. Yes, the parts had to be sourced from all over but I got lists and recommendations from the adapter suppliers and it all went very smoothly. Don't forget that you'll need the ZX master cylinder if you don't already have it. I tried the system without it and it is not a happy place.

David!! You're not trying to buy yet another car?!? I would think the two sets of twins you have would be enough!

Are you running CV's or universals on your rear half-shafts? I had a similar problem along with noise & vibration in the rear. Turned out to be a drivers side universal with a chunk missing. Replaced now and all the problems have gone away. Still don't know why the missing chunk would cause the hopping senstaion and oversteer but those symptoms disappeared with the noise & vibration when the universal was replaced. Go figure.

That looks almost like a clone of the system I'm running. 2 1/2" dual pipes to a 'X' pipe right at the back of the T56 then continuing on the drivers side out past the half-moon cut-out provided for the stock exhaust - the passenger side running past the rear suspension with a "frame clearance tube' section and then over to join with the drivers side into a dual 2 1/2" inlet magnaflow muffler with a single 2 1/2" outlet. BTW - Excellent write-up and photos on the CV conversion!

I've had both. My 340 'Cuda was carb'd, as well as many other vehicles I've owned. Obviously all my Z's have been FI. I'll even take the FI of the old L28 over a carb just because of the reliability and that it stays 'tuned' when you have significant elevation or weather changes. I think the LS1 is a prime example of what a good FI/electronic ignition car can do. In stock factory form it makes equal or better HP than the carb'd sbc's and better fuel economy. The two go hand-in-hand. A better fuel management & spark control system will provide more efficient and complete fuel usage which will equate to more hp and better fuel economy. We can talk exceptions all day long but for a set and leave alone system you can't beat FI & electronic ignition.

Oops -misunderstanding - The dryer removes moisture from the refrigerant. I'm talking about the moisture that will condense out of the air when it cools coming across the coil. You have to have a condensate drain on the system to drain that water to outside the car. Surely this has one to handle that and the only concern VA has is the possibility of moisutre also condensing on the outside of the cold housing.

Crap! - was he saying that the system doesn't have a way to drain off condensate - or - that he's just worried that the housing will have condensation problems? If it's the latter then a little judiciously applied insulation to th eoutside of the housing will take care of that. If it's the former - you better not run any fresh air or you'll have a wet, stinky carpet!

Unless you're like me. I always click on the 'new posts' part of the control panel since I'm basically lazy and don't want to search through all the forums.

I'll sell you mine - $30K.

If you go to my album on this site you'll see some photos of the motor mounts. Not the best, but they are there. Previous discussion I've had with John (JCI) is that he will sell the motor & transmission mounts separately but not the rest unless you buy the motor and transmission mounts. His reason is that the rest may not work if the engine/tranny is not placed where his mounts place them with the other components being designed around that location. YOu may want to contact him again.

Big Phil - I beat you to the hood cable at All Z's. I pulled a nice one about three weeks ago. That's what is nice about living ony 5 minutes from Jerry's yard. Now if I could just get him to stock some LS1 stuff!

Their website is www.streetmachineclub.com. I'm not certain that you can access anything on the website without a membership which will, of course, serve to frustrate you even further. It's a decent magazine primarily aimed at muscle & classic car guys. Most of them haven't gotten past carb's yet but some are feebly attempting. My little Z has really freaked a few of them out forcing a revamping of their opinions a bit. If anyone is interested in the intake and throttle body comparison I can go into a bit more detail. It ws nice to get the feedback on the MSD coil packs before running out and dropping a wad of cash for what would be just a cosmetic improvement for my car. I can get the plastic head covers for justa wee bit less than that.

Another thing I've heard of people doing is welding clips to the roof and actually attachng the roll bar to the roof.

PM sent. The down side is that I'll be driving the Suburban because the upside is that I'll be with my whole family. Contemplated towing the Z just to terrorize the area but cost is too much and wife would probably freak at the idea.

1974 was the first year for smogged motors in the US - other than CA of course. You should be able to sell the miles of vacuum hose for what you paid for the car. For the mentally dyslexic and brain-to-finger typing challenged: Lemons = Lemans brian = brain road = rode We'll get there eventually.

Q45 - do a search under R230 differentials and you'll find references to installations using them from the 'Q'.

Good thing you did it during the winter. another few months and your car would have blended into the background! Terrain looks familiar. I go through Mobile all the time on my way to Pensacola. I'll be going through again this May on the way to a week on Perdidio Key. Wife is from P'cola plus I have to make my regular visit to the Naval Air Museum.
