Does some one have a straight 240z bumper off there car that they can measure the distance between the 2 ends? Also the distance from the point in the front of the bumper to the ends of the bumper. Im trying to straighten mine and its looking good but i need those measurements to see if i need to spread it or not. thanks Jeff

Im pretty sure they are welded in. It it a much better job than i could do. I would probably make it worse. Well i got the rest of the car stripped this afternoon. I also got my DTM primer today so that will be going on this weekend. I also settled on a color. THe Brickyard was just a tad bright for me and its really expensive paint. I saw this color today and i asked the paint shop about it and is 40 bucks cheaper per quart than the brickyard. Its called blackberry crush metallic. Its from a 2008 scion XB It is similar to the brickyard but it only has red pearl in it instead of red and white pearl. well here is a pic

Im using my trusty 4.5 inch angle grinder with these scotch brite type pads they sell at Lowes. strips the paint nicely but doesnt dig into the metal at all. And yes i have damage on my door and rear fender lip. I wrecked the car about a week ago. I doubt i will redo the under coating in the rear and floor pans. I dont have that much time. Im going to def. do my own body work. and depending on how much money i have left will depend on if i paint it myself or not.

who said i was up till 6am??

I had Braap move the thread so you guys can comment if you feel like it. Just thought id give the heads up

Another up date sorry its been a couple days. lets just say ive been doing alot of stripping!! I found a few patches but the look pretty good to me so il leave it alone. But ill probably finish stripping the other half tomorrow or the next day.

that sucks phil. there has been alot of wrecks lately.. I wrecked mine last week and am stripping all the paint off right now. my car has like 4 different coats of paint on it pluse primer between them all. You did say you wanted to get rid of that rustoleum paint!!!! lol thats what im taking this chance to do.

Thanks zedevan. That honestly looks sweet. And that was a good picture to do it on considering i am zg'ing it and putting on fender mirrors. I know im the one that has to decide. This thread was more to just have some help with photoshoping.

Not to berude but i wouldnt go with the 250r with your weight. The suspension will be under sprung and not have enough power. And honestly i doubt you would get 70mpg with the 250 hauling you around. Im not trying to be mean must the facts Its like when you get the 4banger car to get better gas mileage and then it gets worse than the v6 would of because you have to work it so much harder to get the same performance.

Ok i just went and read my original post. What more information do you need? time of day? around 5pm. Need to know why i was driving on the interstate? do i need a reason? no but it was because i was coming home from a poker tournament. Was i speeding? No. posted speed limit was 70 i was going 75 and i was getting passed by people. Road conditions. IT hadnt rained in a long time and it maybe had slightly rained for about an hour and wasnt enough to wash the roads off. Did i change lanes and punch the throttle? no i cant do that on wet roads my tires break loose instantly. So does that give enough "background"? tell me what you want to know if not. I never said i was the best driver in the world. But i do know that this is the first time i have ever not been able to save an out control situation on the street. that even includes getting clipped in the rear in a ford ranger and putting me into a side going down the highway. I saved it and kept it on the road with out hitting anybody. And as far as all your accomplishments. would you like me to have my dad dig up how many state and regional Motorcross championships ive won? Or how many track days ive been to on street bikes? Sure i dont have that much experience in cars yet but im not stupid and i would never do something on purpose that would put others in danger. Im not one that is afraid to put myself in danger but I have enough respect for people to not put them in danger.

Thanks woldsen. And no that isnt what the clor looks like. That pops to much. its a much duller color in person. Also when the light is not on it its can almost look black. but it does give me a good idea. thanks alot

Hey every one Im trying to decide on a new color for my car and i think i want this color Can some one photoshop that color onto my car? would that be to hard? here is a picture of my car I hope someone can help. Thanks alot

I got My lsd from a friends dad for a whopping 100 bucks!!! i was just needing the flange to fit my r200 diff swap and i asked him how much for the whole diff and he said 100 and i said sold before he could even finish saying 100bucks

thanks for an update. not to sure on your question though. Hopefully someone can chime in and help

Nice crossmember. Puts mine to shame!! I guess it wouldnt take much though

K did a little more work. Undercoated the upper frame thats under the fenders. and touched up some engine pay paint. Also took out all the glass front and rear and a side. well not the door glass. and basically got her ready to strip all the paint off of her. She has 3 layers of paint on her so its gonna take alot of sanding!! hopefully i dont find any big surprises. Well on with the pics. Well thats where im at now. Im going to pick up a set of fenders tomorrow. and a hood and i think my headlight buckets got shipped today. Ill keep ya updated

First of all. Your a dick. secondly i didnt do one big swoosh 3 lane transfer. i did it one at a time. And I absolutely wasn't trying to show off. Who would i be showing off to? How do you know that i haven't ever done a HPDE? So how about you stick to what you actually know about the situation which isnt much and go into a hole

Alright im planning on taking tons of pictures while doing all my work and ill do my best to keep it up to date. Here is the link to my photobucket account folder with the pics in it http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j69/jeffer949/rebuild%20and%20paint%20from%20wreck/ Well here is day one Well thats day one i fixed the bent headlight bucket things that they mount to. They where pretty banged up and had to hammer and dolly it straight. But other than that it was just a tear down day.

Mine is made out of square. It has pieces of aluminum. welded on the ends and taped. 3/8 npt i believe though.

umm why do you need one all together? you can use only tps and map and no maf

i made mine was actually pretty easy. Ill get you a picture later

Nice glad its on its way back to you. Hell even buy it back from him and then when you go to pick it up beat the hell out of him. that might be worth the 100 bucks

stock t3 drain tube bolts right up and fits perfectly

Sorry the name stays. cant give up on her now

Way ahead of ya bro. waiting on my insurance check to order my Rota RB's through the group buy and i would go with Bamf flares but i doubt he could get them to me in time. he has a big list lol. And i think that i have a big enough turbo i just need bigger injectors!!! Im only runing 16psi right now. Ive heard its good to double that lol
