  1. Do you have a scanner??? Codes??? Does it have a resistor(s) for the injectors?? Are you missing the ground or the positive for the injector.
  2. I worked at Infinity for a year or 2. I saw no major issues with the G cars. My son has '05 G35x and loves it..... Take a look at the M35x and the M45x,.....VERY NICE cars.
  3. Has anyone used the color tune to dial in the fuel mixture first??? Looks and sounds like it works!! Any one with personal experience??? I'm going to order the sk flow meter from Ducky.

  7. From what I learned, preignition is the spontaneous combustion of the fuel/air mixture, due to a higher temperature than the octane specification permits. This flame front (shock wave), then collides with the flame front (shock wave) from the normal igntion event. The collision of the shock waves is the cause of the broken parts. Physical damage. My understanding of detonation is not as good. However, I personaly drove my 1978 Ford Fiesta (A GREAT CAR !!!) down the New York State Thruway, everyday, with my foot on the floor. About 90 mph top speed. (1100 cc if I rember correctly). One day the coolant temp went well over full scale, And I lost all power, maybe 35 mph. It took a while to cool, and I regained power.This happened a few times. The end result was a cracked head. I beleive the cause was fuel starvation, a very lean condition. Take it away Tony D............
  8. I would look for a good running 350 TPI complete car and buy the kit from JTR.......
  9. Old seatbelts work great for lifting engines, and they're free.
  10. With that costume, I'm thinking it will only take about 3-5 minutes for a SWAT team to arrive. Just remember to duck and cover...
  11. At best it's a shaby parts car. $200.00, and you're doing him a favor by taking it. Too much rust, the critters got to it, etc.........
  12. I daily drive a '92 190e 2.6. Best damn car I've ever owned. Back in '92 it sold for 35K!!! Quiet, solid, quick, and good mpg..25++ I bought it for $1800.00 back in '02 with a broken timing chain. I beat the living piss out of it every day:flamedevi. Love that 5 link rear suspension. A little ho hum under 3000 rpm, but then she wails all the way to red line. (same displacement as my 260z!!) I can't break it . After reading about the upgrades available, the wheels are a start'n to turn . Not sure I need another project........
  13. Early or late 260 ?? It matters for fit and finish, relating to bumpers. No idea on tail lamps. Try a search.......
  14. The noise is most probably mainshaft bearings in the transmission. Whenever the clutch pedal is up, the input shaft is turning in the trans. Pushing the clutch pedal to the floor disengages the engine from the trans..shaft stops spinning. You might try gear oil additives, they may quiet it down a bit, but the bearings are still worn.
  15. I think some replies to the first posts of the very green, and very new, could be a bit less harsh. I was one. This was the first forum I've ever joined. I had absolutely NO IDEA how it all worked. Much less, the expected etiquette of this particular forum. And I know a great deal about cars. Reading all the rules does not make you a proficient poster.(just as reading the drivers manual wouldn't make you a good driver) Some guys need a little practise on their first posts. After a few misplaced/inapproprate/never searched posts......I started to get the hang of it. (with the help of some pointed suggestions) I also started to observe how it all functioned/flowed. So, I think a little less hostility, and a bit more guidance to the deserving would be a good idea........This does not apply to repetitive morons who can't take a hint/suggestion........
  16. My clock is stuck at 1974..
  17. If I remember correctly, when I worked for Volvo Penta, our chevy V8 350 oil pressure spec HOT (marine version), was only about the 8 to 14 psi area. I WAS AMAZED at how low the MIN spec was. That was back about 1990.
  18. The pilot bearing resides in the end of the crankshaft. Changing the trans will not fix a bad pilot bearing.. what kind of noise do you have, when does it occur?
  19. Call your local aspca and see if they can get you one of these....
  20. Be thankful they're not copper heads, or rattlers. I beleive both are indigenous to this area. http://www.snakesandfrogs.com/scra/snakes/copperh.htm
