    Anyone Near San Pedro Interested In Helping A Brother Out?

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    Just leave the keys in the car and I'll pick it up in San P and drive it to Texas for you... :D

     

    Thanks John!! I think I have everything under control now!. Its gonna cost me a little but will be worth it I think. Ill have about 17K tied up in it by the time I get it home. Will make a nice daily driver. All I have to do on an L28 is buy the front sump pick up and bolt it in and get a machine shop to relocate my oil stick forward about 8 inches and Im done. Hakosukas have the oil pan reversed to clear the steering crap. Whew!

    question about distributors.

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Posted

    Thanks 1QZ. I have the L20 in my Hakosuka so the distributor will only fall into place one way and doesnt seem to be close to where the old rotor was pointing. As long as its TDC (assuming the damper has the little half moon cutouts pointing down at 6PM) I would just start plug #1 where the rotor is pointing. I probably confused everyone but CHEVY is so much easier....

    Hickl,

    The # 4748201 is a Unilite Electronic - 47 series Distributor with a self-contained optical pickup and module with adjustable mechanical and vacuum advance. They sell new for $ 246.00 If you use it just make sure that you use a # 700 ballast resistor to bring down the voltage or you will burn out the optical eye in the dist.

     

    John, question, when installing the Mallory I set the engine to top dead center and the rotor on the old dist points to the number one plug wire on the cap. I take out the dist and put in the Mallory. No way to put in wrong so in it goes. The problem is the rotor on the Mallory points a totally different direction. Do I put the number one plug wire on the cap where the rotor is pointing now? I am confused. Since there is no gear drive its different than doing on a V8. PLease advise...

    Homemade headers installed on the 383

    in Fabrication / Welding

    The jig I built to fabricate these headers out of the car worked right-on. The headers went in (very tight, so that part was not easy, nor was it expected to be) fine, and surprisingly, all clearances were exactly as was on the jig.

    I asked terry to find me a couple of items from Japan a while back. He found them both in short order, had the items packed well and shipped to me promptly. I absolutely would not hesitate to deal with him again. The guy is a class act. Now if I could just get him to sell me his BBC Z.............lol!

     

    Thanks for the kind words but I am just trying to help the Hybrid community a little. I dont want to start any chaos or ill deals etc. Also to note the price on the auction does not include shipping to me. This price is minimal usually. I had 4 rims and tires sent here for about $25. A diff from Hokkaido for $20. So this is not bad. There is an additional cost for the shipment from me to you. There is also the PayPal markup. So this may or may not be a good deal for some. I would also need something for my time and the wife having to make deposits and payments to the vendors via her Japanese bank account. I thonk 5% is fair as I am not in this for huge profits but also dont want it to get out of hand. Any ways just wanted to get that all out. I am sure we can all work things out as they happen. I cant ship large items so keep em under 70 pounds and 108 inches length plus girth and all is well. This is addicting by the way....I just spent about 700 bones just this weekend...dammit!!!

     

    By the way I would think that if anyone wants to consider me helping them with anything, please PM me. Im sure the Mods wouldn't want this to clog up the main boards with details etc. Happy surfing...

    Terry keep them coming. I use to look at Yahoo Auction Japan everyday and was disgusted everytime I looked. If it wasn't for people like you willing to help us state side boys out, hardly any sellers over there will not deal with the U.S. and our banks. It would be great to combine the two.

     

    When do you rotate out of Japan? :)

     

    I am here till June 2010, I extended since I got a promotion. The auctions drive me crazy...lol.

    Terry - I would love some beautiful old skool deep dish 17" wheels for my 280ZX!! But its probably not part of your consideration on this offer?

     

    Regards - Yasin

     

    Yasin, I guess all I can say is if you find it and want me to bid on it, give me your max bid and we can see what happens. As long as I get the money to pay for the stuff it can sit here forever till the shipping money is recieved. I cant afford to take chances though so if the money is ready I am, you will just need to find what you want me to bid on via these links and I will try to help. Im sure rims can be mailed via USPS.

    Any advice on Watanabe color code?

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    I'm in the process of color matching my wheels at the moment, and have been having a hard time trying to find the exact color and finish I want.

     

    Basically I want a factory color "Mag"

     

    'watanabe - mag'

    I intend to get them powder coated so a paint code is a good start.

     

    I just mounted some 15s just like the one you have pictured. They look good. I also have some that are silver but I like the Gun Metal grey better. Heres a sample http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3Dhakosuka%2Bpics&w=730&h=480&imgurl=www.irex-jp.com%2Fshiryo%2Ftoyokawa041123%2Fimages%2Fhakosuka_40.jpg&size=72.8&name=hakosuka_40.jpg&rcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irex-jp.com%2Fshiryo%2Ftoyokawa041123%2Fpages%2Fhakosuka_40.htm&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irex-jp.com%2Fshiryo%2Ftoyokawa041123%2Fpages%2Fhakosuka_40.htm&p=hakosuka&type=jpeg&no=2&tt=207

     

    Looks just like mine...

    HAHAHAHA I know some of this stuff is rediculous. However there are some good things that are only available here I suspect. I just keep an eye out for these things. Like the 12J Watanabees....DAMMIT I wish I had the loot for those....maybe some more will pop up sometime...
