not too bad. I would say take a look at it personally since I can't see a lot of rust prone area's. It does have quite a bit of surface rust, but it doesn't look too bad. I would see how it runs and everything though. for 850, it doesn't seem bad if the problem area's aren't too costly to fix. and Austin, on my 280z with an N47 head, the fuel pump hole, IS a hole. if you don't have the plate on it blows out oil like a freak. I think what nissan did with the different heads is use the same basic cast, but modified them slightly during machining.

I saw a video on youtube showing a 9 year old kid at a shooting range with a .50 caliber rifle, and getting knocked off the seat he was sitting in when he shot it. his grandpa (from the looks of it) had to grab the gun so it didn't fall off the table and land on him. Kid got up with the biggest grin in the world. his dad (recording the video) and his gramps, as well as the kid, were all laughin their asses off. And there were about 100000000000 replies saying how irresponsible it is to let a kid learn how to shoot a gun. I think teaching a kid proper gun safety is infinitely wiser than keeping them in the dark. watching someone shoot a .50 cal for the first time is pretty funny since they don't realize how much they kick. i'm not lucky though, I've never shot anything more than a 9mm ONCE but I have shot countless paintball guns haha.

Ohhh I see. well, in that case, I don't think it would work since I really doubt the speed of the car would be sufficient to turn the fan enough RPM's to create enough CFM's to cause enough vacuum in the exhaust to make a difference.

you have then created infinite acceleration in a way XP it wouldn't really work the way you're thinking it would. The exhaust causes the smaller fan to spin at X speed, which makes the 2nd fan spin at X speed as well. the problem is, since both of them are moving at the same speed, and are ONLY moving because the exhaust gases are spinning them, there is no way for them to create any suction. If the bigger fan DID start creating enough suction to cause a vacuum onlly because of the smaller fan being spun by the exhaust gases, then it means that the smaller fan is suddenly turning the bigger fan only by the suction created by the bigger fan, which is impossible lol. I'm curious though, as to what something like an ultra high powered vacuum cleaner of some sort could do (if it could suck enough cfm that is)

Well, the car is somewhat of a legend in Wangan Midnight. In the show it's the most insanely tune car built by a guy known to build cars that kill people. It's a car with a lot of history behind it, and is known for outliving it's owners through crashes. a car like that isn't something you sell for scrap metal. There was someone that posted a link to a website that restored a rally car, that was so far gone that they ended up hacking the car into many peices to restore all the panels. it was a car so far gone that anyone in their right mind would've sold it for scrap and just built a replica. But they did a total restoration of it. It's sort of like that. A car with a long history transcends that of a normal machine. Also, you're welcome for the new sig MJ

8.5:1 isn't really boost friendly imo. the highest I would ever go would be 8:1, but ONLY if everything was 100% perfect. otherwise the stock 7.3:1 is perfect

lol that was pretty awesome. When you were off the screen, in the distance I could hear sirens getting closer, then I hear your car coming back as the sirens get slightly louder HAH

that video IS RIPNZ haha :lmao::lmao::lmao: and afaik he IS the fastest street 240 in the world at 8.71

I put a Type R badge on mine and it went faster by 400mhz!

O_O OMG!?! Man...someone dig that poor girl out and give her somewhere nice to rest. That's a REALLY sad sight to see. those things are already rare enough, seeing one being eaten like that is just grotesque

wow, it looked like their best at tsukuba is about 1'02 Hmmm i should try to beat that on GT4 with my 240zg (though...it probably would since it's a game HP looks to be within 10-20hp between my game and that car)

I think a fat lip setup would've looked MUCH nicer than the rims he put on....and the insane spacer.

I found this out at least Dizzy top cranked fully toward the firewall = FULL ADAVNCED and car will run Dizzy top cranked fully toward the radiator = FULL RETARD and car might not even crank over. I'm going to guess one mark is TDC and one is BDC

Yep, I'm pretty happy. I get paid 3 weeks in a row. tommorow is payday, next week is stimulus check day, and the week after is pay day. 900 bucks in 3 weeks, not bad. Too bad I won't really get to see any of it since I've got a lot of stuff to pay for.

Wow, that's really nice looking. not a big fan of the Fairlady 280z's but that's a REALLY nice find! I also love that paint scheme

like a TWIN TURBO! rofl I would like to put one on someones car as a sort of joke. "Hey jim, I turbo'd your truck last night go crank it" lol

I agree with what Palos said. if they try to give you just some lump of money that's not worth anywhere close to the car's value, tell them to find you a rust free Z in the same year and condition for that much. They probably won't. they really needa go with the nada ratings for your car.

a 280z bumper and 240z tail lights. BUT his vin does seem to be that of a '74 it was painted in the 80's so maybe someone thought the huge ass bumper was cool hahah edit:I see why the bumper is there. Look how his flare is shaped. it follows that big red stripe and the back of the car is wider there. he needed that huge bumper to make it "blend" into the flare lol

lol that supercharged on is nice, but that skull hood is way out of place. front end he said is a jaguar, but it looked like a modified 250gto front end

dude, that's pretty slick. I wonder if it would work in a 280z XP

mine gets deposited may 9th. I BARELY got the cutoff for may 9th too (one number over and it would've been teh 16th) Well, my Z does need a rebuild, but I owe my mom a bit of money, so I think i'll give most of the check to her,.

it depends if your state tests for nox or not. in AZ they don't. when I get my emissions slip, it only has HC and CO%, no nox. also, on the AZ mvd site i can't find ANYWHERE that shows the nox level limits. if you have a cat, keep it though, it'll help

he shouldn't have a cat since he's not in Cali. IIRC only cali Z's had cat's till they were mandated across the country (my 78 has only lived in AZ, and has no cat) Make sure EVERYTHING is clean, all connections filters and plugs.

If I built an electric Z, it would be AWD haha. actually, the first thing I would build would be an old electric VW bug.

I had that happen to my bug, but slightly different. the fork that holds the throwout was damaged, and had slipped, causing the throughout to rub on the clutch (instead of being centered, it was off centered) I didn't really notice it at first, till it had ground the throwout bearing so much that the ball bearings had burst and were beating the inside of the bell housing. I was sorta screwed so I had to drive it home like that. probably a mile before I was home it was so bad that the clutch was basically gone (the ball bearings had gotten lodged in crappy places in the pressure plate, making it stick) long story short, clutch with only 10k on it was trashed, throwout bearing trashed, flywheel was beat to death, and I needed to replace the fork for the throwout bearing. clutch cables breaking aren't as nasty though if you can shift without a clutch. and in an old vw, starter startings aren't bad.
