  1. I was wondering how fiberglass or carbon fiber bumpers can even be called bumpers? Shouldn't they be called "crushers"?
  2. You would need alot of money to fix this right. If it were me I would part it out. You have alot of JDM stuff that you could get good money for...
  3. 280 zx weatherstripping works as well on s-30's. It just needs to be cut, 4-6" removed, and reglued to make it one piece again.
  4. They work and look good and cost about $1.00 each. We'll see how long they last 'cause underhood heat + 30 year old plastic= shred city.
  5. It's okay, it's just a car; easily replaced. Glad you're alright...
  6. If you fixed these and rechromed them you could probably get a bunch of money. There's a company that is making stainless repros and they list for like $1000.00(!)
  7. I started with some sandpaper I had maybe 100 grit. Way too abrasive. Finished with 220 grit. They even make a 320 or maybe even some wetsanding paper. I finished with a hard grade buffing wheel on my angle grinder with some buffing compound which was green for high gloss materials. In between buffings I treated the aluminum with oven cleaner. It's real easy once you find your method.
  8. I was speaking of myself and my tendency toward obsession.
  9. Yeah it was easy to understand how that could become an obsession...
  10. Thanks. I was thinking about that and it's really funny 'cause I just sold one!! That's what happens when I don't plan. I guess I could junk yard, I got nothing but time right now.
  11. "It takes a big man to cry, And it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man." Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey...
  12. I would check the TPS as well. If it is malfunctioning it can alter the air/ fuel mix. It's easy to fix.
  13. If I had to do it all over again I would not work with my hands to make a living.
  14. See the thread below this one for a bargain door seal solution.
  15. That's a great tip, there is a sticky thread in miscellaneous tech title "Budget repairs or upgrades for your Z". This would be great in that.
  16. Sure I can't sell ya a green one???
  17. I like the minimalism of your customization.
  18. There is a drivers' side JDM light cover up on Ebay now. Price seems kind of steep though...
