  1. Wow, that's also kind of cool because the 928 looks (and probably performs) like an s-30 Z on steroids.
  2. Hey thanks for the compliment. BTW; The valve cover is chrome plated. Got it done at a shop here in CA. All the shaving and the plating cost me a grand total of $80.00 I think I got a deal...
  3. I am pretty sure you could get a ton of people on board from this site for a carbon fiber console that was economical...
  4. Hey Garvice, Everything is in my peripheral field of vision. I don't have to turn my head to see what is going on. When I first started adding gauges I would mount them in those Autometer gauge mounts in the dash right above the stock gauges. They looked cool but I felt that there was too much head turning going on to be safe. That is the only negative I can see with the setup above. It looks sweet but I would be turning my head way too much, but that is me...
  5. I have been thinking about this albeit 45% of the way to actually doing it... If I cut the door window frame where it meets the 1/4 window and then attached that cut piece to the 1/4 window and made that 1/4 window-window frame piece manually removable the only problem would be securing the leftover top of the door frame when the door is closed, maybe a hanging stud from the interior of the body where the door frame sits into a hole drilled in the door frame itself. Does that make sense?? As far as roof support I could just wedge some kind of material between my roll bar and the roof skin...
  6. I also reread your passage and saw you have a water temp. gauge...brain fart on my part. I neglected to mention I have a fuel pressure gauge as well. Enjoy... [ATTACH][/ATTACH]
  7. Here is another/ better shot. I love the way these look and they do not wilt, vibrate or otherwise change position at higher speeds like other mirrors I have tried... ...even with my rudimentary mounting skills. Have a blessed day!!!
  8. How about manually removable like a hardtop? Pop in and out on a frame or something... That would be easiest perhaps. This idea, it intrigues me...
  9. The wheels that is. CENTERLINES 8"x 15" Here comes the good part; $85.00 each when I purchased them as overstocks 5 yrs ago...
  10. I have like 5 extra gauges as well. The one that wasn't mentioned is an extra water temp. sensor. I can now tell when the thermostat cracks open whereas with the stock water temp. gauge I could not... An oil temp. gauge is one that I have also but I don't know why other than I like gauges...
  11. ...are in the photo section, I just uploaded alot. I guess they are under my user name, Daniel's 280z or recent photos... Let me know what you think!!! Thanks!
  12. I would agree with you. I like to bolt in mostly...
  13. I remember them from MSA 2001. I had just fabbed the strut to firewall mounts in addition to the strut bar being there. Then I saw what they and others had done with the strut to sway bar link and went home and did mine. What they had for sale was really sweet and I would have bought it had I not been so far into my project...
  14. Really nice, almost no body roll in addition to harder springs. There is a company called PMK or PDK or PDM Fabrication which makes a complete 7 point bolt in front suspension stiffener for s-30's. I think it was like $300.00 or something I don't quite remember...
  15. Made-fabbed-discovered-found the app. for-the push pull rods. Semantically we're on the same page...
  16. The strut tower to strut tower is MSA. The other four I made...
  17. I think that a fuel rail would not pass muster for a visual inspection by most inspectors specifically because the stock fuel pressure regulator which needs to be there as there is a line in the inspection report pertaining to "fuel enrichment" and also "fuel-other" which seems to be a category with wide parameters. I learned how it was two years ago after sailing through for years with the help of friends down in L.A. I moved here to Ventura and got spanked. Never again. Anyhow, when I am done routing the pigtails along the firewall I am going to submit some pictures to the website as my car is pretty much "done". Yeah, you've heard that before... Thanks...
  18. I'd like to get a fuel rail but we got us a little thing in CA. called smog testing...
  19. I got the letters and lines shaved and I wanted the filled holes shaved as well...Oh well close enough... Ooh shiny...
  20. They got it 90 % correct. It's good enough...
  21. Yeah exactly although now I have a new project I am going to run my injector wires along the fire wall and over the rear of the engine as opposed to stock over the manifold, so this heater thing will take a backseat...for now...
  22. Now I just did an online search and saw something cool, "A dashboard fan or ceramic heater that is 12v and plugs into the lighter. It has cooling and heating capabilities and defrosting as well. It was given 5 stars and costs all of $17.99. Doesn't get much easier than that...
