Well, you guys have any other suggestions besides venom?

I have been looking into getting new injectors for a while and I have searched around and found that a lot of people are using the 440cc supra injectors. I want to go a little bigger and get 550cc ones. I looked on ebay for 550cc supra injectors and came up with these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-New-JECS-Fuel-Injectors-1988-92-Toyota-Supra-Turbo_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQitemZ160302371020QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Supra-87-92-6-550cc-Direct-fit-fuel-Injectors_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a1Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem120356699546QQitemZ120356699546QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I basically want to know if those are good choices and will fit. They look a little thicker than nissan injectors. If there is any better suggestions, I am open to them. Price is really no big deal as long as it's reasonable. Thanks.

I was on the flight line the last time they were here in Oklahoma (Tinker AFB)... perks of being in the Air Force I guess. They are good, but no match for the mighty Awacs..... well, we can fry people with the radar!

I don't know what's worse, the wing or the DEL SOL front bumper grafted on... This kinda hurts my feelings. I feel so bad for that poor Z. I should buy it, and as the guy is counting the money, rip off the wing and use it to smack off that bumper. "Yours for $2000 or better offer." You're kidding right...

I can never tell what these things really look like when looking at memeber's builds. I know they have a 4in. exaust, and a 90* bend on the housing... but I need a little ID help. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5-9-Dodge-Cummins-Turbo-Holset-4-Exhaust-Housing-2007_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQihZ014QQitemZ330263629361QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW OR http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CUMMINS-HOLSET-HE351CW-TURBO-P-N-4036836-17-4036835_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQihZ018QQitemZ280258362416QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW By the way, no one after looking at this bid on this please... I really need to get this (if it is an HY35w) before leaving for the sand box for 6 months. Thanks, SrA Brandon J. Wilson

Hey I was just out looking at my car and I realized that I have a strut bar... it got me thinking of how many other people have strut bars. I have the MSA adjustable one, but there are many others out there. Maybe you should take that into consideration as well. Like I said, I'll buy one, but I don't want to have to lose my strut bar. So if you could design around that too, I'd be happy. LOL.

I'd buy it.

Sell the L28 to someone who needs one, like me per-say.

Yes please.

I hate to bring up a some what finished thread... but am I going to have to cut the spacers off the bottom of the rear shocks (3016's) if I am using those springs? I keep trying to read deeper into these shocks, and I'm driving myself insane... So I guess the question is, if I'm not planning on lowering my car any, do I need to cut the spacers??? I want a 100%, bet my car on it answer. Preferably. Thanks.

Thats not as bad as I've seen. But with that said, it's not that good either.

I don't want my car any lower than stock, maybe 1in. at MAX. I also don't want to spend more than like $600 total, cause I need most of my money for the turbo motor, and the re-wire. Like I said, I'm looking for something that I can drive to the track, race, then drive home. Also, this is my daily for right now.

I really need to upgrade the suspension for the Hallet events here. I was like one click away from buying the shock and spring setup off of ebay, then I remembered reading all the bad mouthing about the progressive springs in front. "Good" for a street application, but not so good on the track. And the lowering of about 2ins. is going to make my lower valance(sp?) rub the road as I drive. Well I have been throughly reading each thread about said set up (tokicos) and I then went and tried to make my own combo. I really don't care about it lowering the car too much, but I just want something I can drive to Hallet, track it, then drive home. Here are the springs: http://www.arizonazcar.com/springs.html And then I'll just buy the Illuminas: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/PSDC02C Total price: $500 + Shipping. Anyone running this set up? And am I going to have to cut the spacers off the bottoms if I buy from MSA??? Any help is appriciated, Thanks, SrA Brandon Wilson

Thanks guys. Now I'm gonna go brake check some oklahomans. (which I hate.)

Hey, atleast you answered one of my questions without telling me to search. I thank you. But, I still need to know which way it goes...

I just completed my S12+8 brake upgrade on my '73. I got the new calipers, all hardware for them, new hard lines, new '79 master cylinder, new '79 brake booster, and some new rotors, which were the hardest things I've ever had to find. Well, after I finished, I had to hook up the booster to the intake manifold. I wasn't paying attention to which way that valve thing was. (Don't know what it's called, much less what it's for.) It has one side that is sloped and the other is flat. Also it has an arrow pointing to one of the ends. It was mounted on the firewall. I guess what I'm asking is, what is it, and how does it go in line from the manifold to the booster. How do I put it back? Thanks, SrA Brandon Wilson

That looks like the spring in the center is going to rub on the rotor. Does it? And do I need the backing plates behind the pads, or can I do with out?

I know there are plenty of posts about these brakes, but I can't find a good enough picture to show me exactly how the springs go for the pads. My rods that go through the pads came with cotter pins. I know those go in the little holes at the end to hold them, but the 2 springs, I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know where to get 69-73 front hubs at. I recently was sold the wrong front rotors, and got a little hammer happy thinking they were correct... I just need some, don't care if they are 34 to 38 years old. LOL I really need some. And also, I didn't know rotors were so hard to find, and then when you find them... they cost over $140 for stockers. Maybe I just don't know where to look, but I haven't been able to drive her for over a week and a half... and I don't like the way my wife drives. Well, thanks for any advice.

I've been trying for days to get some vented rotors... I can't find any that will "plug and play" except MAYBE these on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-240z-260z-280z-70-78-Front-D-S-Brake-ROTORS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33564QQihZ012QQitemZ220172488959QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW I just need some help on this. Are these crappy or will they be ok... I just don't have any room to resurface. Thanks

Nice way to have to do a lot of work to get two bolts off later. But seriously, I think I may have to do something along the lines of this. I hate the clunks I get...

Yeah sure, I'll try that too. If the royal purple don't work out for me. I just need a little more feed back on it.

Oh, and in the mornings the Z likes to jerk around, like the oil is slowing it down, or frozen. Something is not right. It makes a sort of claking of gears noise. But I know it's full, and the oil is fresh.

Is it too thick to have in the diff. and the trans. in the winter? I just bought some because I am grinding on 75-90 (mobil 1). It says it's ok for a GL4 application, but I'm thinking it's just too thick, and I should exchange it. I want Redline MT-90 because everyone praises it, but couldn't find it. I went out looking at AutoZone and O'reallys (I know that's not how you spell it.) I also went to Napa and to Pepboys. No one has it around here. If I should just get it, then maybe get it online... Thanks for any help.

I have a question... is royal purple maxgear 75-140 too thick in the winter for a 4 speed?
