Hey was a guy named Greg working the Grassroots booth? Young guy about 26. If so he is a friend of mine and has helped me tons with my car back when i was in FL.

send me a pm.

I shopped around before i bought my supplies and i could of saved like maybe 75-100 bucks by shopping online, but the info that i got from my local paint supply store was worth 10 times that much. They pretty much walked me through the whole process. Granted i had done my research and new a little bit but My car wouldnt look nearly as good as it does if it wasnt for the guys at my local paint supply store. I would honestly go local and use what they say.

Im going to say they flipped the negative for the article. And not some special part.

300 bucks for a soda blaser is chump change. When i lived in florida I worked for a powerwashing company and we where looking at a soda blaster to buy. One of our friends who was a repo agent had repoed one and we where looking at buying it if they guy didnt get the money to get it back. The cost taht we where going to pay was about 10k and that was just what he owed on it not what it was worth. it was worth way more. Now this was a all inclusive tow-able machine. Honestly i would of payed someone off the bat to get it stripped. I stripped the outside of my car when i repainted/repaired it 2 summers ago using only a 90deg grinder and scotch bright pad things and a wire wheel. I spend about 200 bucks on just the pads and wire wheels that i wore out. not to mention the 40-60 hours of worrk it took to get it done. I would of gladly paid someone 300-400 bucks to do it for me and of had it done completely perfect. And i could of been working while it was getting done( I took off work for a month to repaint my car) It just doesnt add up in my book,

Hey guys those where actually custom made by his body man IIRC. I remember reading this when he was the ride of the month over at zcar. I believe he made molds for them also. Just contact the member on here. I cant remember his name but i think his current build is something like insane crazy 240z build.

The parts guys might be looking up the seals for the r180. Tell them to get the seals for a 84-89 300zx z31 that way their is no way to get it mixed up.

Im at 7.1:1 gabe is at 8.5:1

Ya your guys timing tables are very mild. I was running 19 on 23lbs of boost. on 93 octane.

Its worth your money to buy something big enough to handle your power goals in the future. I ended up buying three clutches for my set up because i kept buying a heavy duty enough one to just handle what i was running currently. I finally just broke down and bought an act 6 puck with hd pp. well worth the money

Ok. so you have this in your shop or at home?? If its in your shop how in the world do you ever get any work done??? lol or is this what your doing when your waiting on your cnc to do its job? lol awsome. How much is this program?

When i get around to getting one this is the tail i want to get. Im not in the immediate market but i say that the supply would probably be there.

You are very correct Zmanco. i prefer to use a ball hone so it doesnt take to much off.

[bTW, there is a UFO in the first photo. What the hell is that??

Dont post that here!!!! im tryign to save money!!

Man that sucks but does this really belong in the wind tunnel section??

hey jeff. Im not sure when they passed that law but LKQ took my 280zx parts car with out a title.

Big-phil sprayed his black paint on he didnt roll it. I rolled my old paint on not sure who else did it.

Very likely that you have the wrong throw out collar on. Might be long and its making the bearing ride the clutch all the time.

I said I have one. how does 15 shipped sound?

Picked up 2 turbo motors today. Hopefully they will get me back in the game pretty quick. Ill be back to messing with the boost controller soon hopefully.

My car has been down for the past few months and had been driving it around for a few months with said blown motor so i wasnt tunning any. Its all doable its just going to take a lot of time to get it set correctly. One thing i noticed is i could get it to hit my boost targets in one gear and then if i did it in another gear it would either not hit them or would spike like crazy.

If/when i do it again i honestly could care less how the drivetrain is. I care about one thing and one thing only RUST and how straight the body is. If he has been driving this car for a while with bondo primer showing and its been his daily that means that it has seen rain. Your going to need to strip the whole car of all the bondo that saw water. Stock engines are cheap for these cars. Its the rust removal and repainting that is expensive.
