  1. No pups. Probably in a few more months. We are gonna breed one more time, and that is it. Boy puppies are a lot of work! Back to the topic though.... You will be amazed how good this works. Just make sure you sand the scratch all the way out before you buff, or you will be able to tell it is there still, although it won't be as noticeable. If the scratch is deep, you can start with 800, then 1000, and finnish with 1500, then buff with the compound.
  2. To remove the scratch, sand it down with 1000 grit wet sandpaper, then 1500. The sanding will dull the finnish. After that take to it with a buffer and some compound. If you don't have a paint buffer, you can use a terry cloth with the compound, and alot of elbow grease. It will look like new again. I have done this on several tailight lenses, and headlight housings. edit: I also have two boxers.
  3. Nice! How much power can you coax out of them NA?
  4. I am curious if those would work as well. I would love to install power windows/locks in my S30. Plus my passenger side window regulator has broken parts that I would love to just ditch.
  5. Clamp that sucker in a vice, and smack it with a dead blow hammer alternating arround the housing untill she pops off.
  6. Sounds like a good plan. Now lets see some pics of the paint.
  7. That photoshop pic looks sweet! You could put a roll bar around the edge which ties into a rocker bar, and that should help the stiffness a good deal. Not sure if it would be enough though.
  8. Nice car you have there cozy! Love the side pipes!
  9. Cheap Chinese parts. I have heard that they no longer use the glue on compressor housings though. Don't know if it is true or not. I guess a guy could buy it, and sell the turbo's to the honda guys, if the manifolds etc. are worth a darn, then put some decent turbos on there.
  10. Just call or email B&M They caouls send you the instructions, and cable/shift arm. I put a megashifter from B&M in my camaro, and it came with the boot, cable, etc. It also comes with a shifter arm that the cable hooks to on the tranny. I like Missoula, I have been there a few times, and looks like a great town.
  11. That would be awesome! But the price?? What about parts? I would love to see it in a Z though.
  12. Get the long cut to length ones. Then you will be able to route them to your hearts desire.
  13. You don't happen to have any pictures do you? What size spacer did you run, and are you running flares? For the spacers I would use the ones that bolt to the hub, and have their own lug stud in the spacer.
  14. Cool car. Just get some nice wheels, and drive it!
  15. I haven't got flares yet. I didn't think a 9" rim with 245-255 tire would fit the stock fender. I will be running coilovers, and IF I could fit them under the stock fenders with rolling the fender lip I would LOVE to do that. With 17's I should be able to fit a little wider rim that with smaller diameter rims without strut contact. Anyone ever fit a 9" wide rim under the stock fenders? The car's bodywork isn't done yet, so slight modification isn't out of the picture.
  16. I found some wheels I like. They are sportmax 006. I am thinking a 17x8 for the front, and a 17x9 for the rear. They have the right bolt pattern, but in a 35mm offset. What size spacer do you think they will require to fill up a ZG flare on a S30? How do you think they will look?
  17. Sounds like a slick idea. I like it. Pressurised float bowls is used on Boondockers nitrous applications for Snowmobiles/motorcycles to enrich the mixture on them while on the button. A small nitrous line is tapped to the float bowls, and the nitrous pressure pushes more fuel through the main jet, and another line to the intake tract for the nitrous. It works really well. I have a different wet setup on my snowmobile, but their idea of pressurising the float bowl to enrich the mixture is similar to what you are trying to achieve.
  18. Go for it! 3 grand would easilly be spent, if not way more on a $500 project car, just to get it to the point this one is at. Not to mention the 100's of hours of work.
  19. The stock lq9 (later 6.0) came with 345hp, and 380lb torque from the factory. People are getting close to 500hp out of them NA with little mods (cam, ecm tune, and exhaust). My truck has the lq4 (earlier 6.0) and came with a hp rating of 325, and 360 lb of torque. It woke up considerably when I took off the huge suitcase muffler, and put in a Flowmaster, and air intake on it. I am thinking I will be putting one of these in my Z. I can only imagine how it would do considering it moves my 6000+lb truck pretty well.
  20. If it is out of a durango, it is probably a mopar 5.9 (360). Not the same thing. A T-56 of the correct year will work with the correct bell housing, and flywheel. Something about the imput shaft lengths are different on some of the LS equiped t56's.
  21. Wow! Glad to hear everything turned out the way it did, rather tha what could have happened.
  22. I would love a copy of this. I sent you a PM with my adress.
