  1. I used the MSA header with aerospace TBC coating. I decided to go ahead and get it because my stock exhaust manifold was warped and eaten away by exhaust fumes. But after this header I have told myself I will never order a part like this again from MSA. The header didn't fit well AT ALL when it came to connecting to my stock exhaust (as far as a general location it was almost 3 inches too long and the same length to the side.) The Y-pipe did not slide onto the header the way it should. Then I had to go though a hole bunch of crap where they not only wouldn't pay for express shipping to send it back they wanted me to pay for the return shipping and, then I said I could try to get it to fit by expanding the pipes but they said no (which to me seems link of corrupt because the header or y-pipe I return should be destroyed so it shouldn't matter)I just got horrible customer service from them. Only good customer service I received was after I ordered a set of stud bolts that were the incorrect lengths I received half off of the like $20 purchase haha. Here's the link http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/PEC03 MSA themselves I believe do not construct the headers but like most of their other rarer products they are produced by Z car enthusiasts and sold to MSA for retail. And I love that MSA exists as some products would be impossible to find w/o them but as they nearly hold a monopoly (besides black dragon) on Z car racing and restoration parts I could see where customer service could be put behind profit.
  2. Hmm looks closer than I thought but I still think there might be another 10-12 inches in the s130 2+2. Ill check tomorrow, I think I have a tape measure in my glove box.
  3. Actaulllyy, you're wrong bud. You're seeing my speaker box there. (my quite large speaker box) I can still sit a 20 gallon cooler in there. And Im 6'1" and I was able to make out with my ex pretty reasonably back there.
  4. I just thought this quote deserved a second shot at stardom.
  5. Idk how it is in Indiana but in GA it is mandatory you take a drivers Ed class to get your license. I can see how the Indiana statistics can be amiss because those who have taken that drivers ed course may be those who were in severe need of basic driving skills. (there were kids in my class that had at the age or 16 NEVER driven a car, they did not know how to shift it, nor ever conceived using a blinker or handbrake.) I don't see why it needs to be changed/overhauled, has driving changed that much in 30 years? (I mean hell the video we used on the simulators was from he 70's lol)
  6. A header won't necessarily increase engine noise by itself. An exhaust system will. (By engine noise I assuming you mean exhaust dB? Because as far as engine bay and passenger compartment there was virtually no difference except for a change in tone when I installed mine.)
  7. Then you should know the advantages of the 280zx strut assembly swap already. (brakes!)
  8. I suggest you visit ratsun.net if you do get the car.
  9. I guessed you missed all of my sarcasm? I mean damn, I was laying it on pretty thick there Mr. Pantybuncher. You and sticky280zx should have a talk, and you should read the suspension tech thread in the s130 section. PS: Obvious troll not obvious enough?
  10. I drive it to work and laugh at JDuMb fan boys like you everyday. ^^^ True story.
  11. Again drifting isn't racing bro, and who cares if you "race" your car every month? Do you want a cookie?
  12. Cool ferrafrush story bro. PS: Drifting is not racing JDM fanboy.
  13. You're whats wrong with kids these days... Doing everything backasswards. I bet you like the "hellaflush" seen too right?
  14. Drop it all the way to the ground, because its a wagon, not a racecar.
  15. BS, you would just add sparkles and say it was a different color you liar!
  16. But off of what older L28? Because this one is on an 83 zx, one of the last L28's to be put in cars besides the maximas. All L28's I have seen have the "Nissan OHC" with the stripes, and every once in a while you see these. And I have heard people call them "JDM" but that doesn't seem logical considering the amount that are actually around (and the fact that im in South GA doesn't seem to lead to that conclusion either)
  17. Is this worth pulling out of the junk yard? And what is it from exactly?
  18. IMO you should have just did the hood, fenders seem a little much to me, just my $0.02.
