WOW the only plus that i saw was a non-egr manifold......... not a bad parts car if you can get it for like 250$ that would be the only way i would take it home!

Sweet Z32!!! Now give yourself a good introduction in the New Member Forum. ........waiting for S30 pics......

How bad was the coolant passage? Did you have a lot of rust deposits in there??

+1 for posting some pics. But 500 for a runner is a great deal. If it's just dead and mostly a complete car than at least you have parts!

I didn't find any posts on this so I thought i would start a thread...... Not taking credit for this at all!! I found this site stuffed full of information in the last few days I spent trolling over it. carbibles.com Check it out! Very basic with LOTS of pics and sited sources. There are write up on Oil, Suspension, Breaks, Fuel, Tires ect. This guy has spent A LOT of time on his write ups. I give it two thumbs WAY up!

I thought Diesel oil had MORE detergents that regular oil. I have also seen a few oils rated for both gas and diesel.

Wow didn't know I could use diesel oil in a gas engine........

Check the For sale section.

JTR have some mounts for the ZX. Have you checked out their site? http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Datsun_Z_V-8.html Hope you find what you need. Searching is key here, do as much as you can then take a break to let thought settle and do some more! Hope to see a good build thread.

I think this would be better in the Non-tech board.

Nice shell! Hope that the rust was kept off the body....... Looks like you have some wiring to do!

WOW you can find a non running car in good condition for a lot less than that. Like 900-1200. Even if its "garage kept" there is going to be rust if it was driven on the road! ITS A 30 YEAR OLD DATSUN. Check the battery tray, floor boards, dog legs, A,B pillars, under the diff, wheel wells, back hatch and spare tire. Unless he just painted it you will find some thing...... So if its not running but in the condition stated shoot for closer to 2000 for it. He is trying to get back some "lost" money in a project. (<------ slight pet peeve)

WOW that is a close pattern on that grill........ Its very different, not by any means what i would do but function over form. Any close up pics?

LOL I have read those too, but forgot they were here........

I like the instructables version of "how to" side gap its very step by step And the wikipedia article on spark plugs is very good. Maybe we can get this a sticky?? Or start a new thread for one on spark plug performance.

To answer your question, Side gap is cutting part of the tip off the plug that would be above the diode. So it sparks to the "side" and not in a straight line. Indexing is a little harder question. It evolves matching the direction of your plugs spark to your exhaust valves. If you go a google search there are a few good pages on doing this and tests that show its affect. Very good info.

Maybe a turbo SBC in the near future??????

IT'S NOT THE TEMP SENSOR! All the sensor does is go to the gauge on your dash. If the needle moves then it works. You can fix stuck injectors with a 9volt battery, just get a plug with long wires and touch it to the connector on the injector. Not for a long time but maybe 2 sec. or less you should hear it cycle. Clean and check your AFM, plugs and the gap.

I think you are talking about the resistor ballast check the FSM. Just a little word of advice before a mod jumps on you. Try not to bump your questions in the same day or even week. Give it some time........ and the shift key is your friend. But other than that you have a nice looking car! hope you enjoy it! Edit: Looks like I got beat by Barbarossa..... that is what I get for not finishing a reply.

Sweet I had never thought there were two sets of calipers in the rear, but always wondered how they balance the foot brake to gas movement now I know they use their hands instead of a pedal!!!! Spent about 30 min reading the "Drifting" wiki it was a very interesting read. I have watched a few races and now have some insight.

Give me 500$ and I can do it to your car with my ball peen hammer

Ohh I see...... just shows a lack of searching on my part. Do drift cars often have two sets in the rear?? Great build looking forward to the finished product! I will be doing more research my curiosity is peaked

WOW nice build!! One thought....... I can understand what you are going for with the breaks, but why swap out the brembo calipers? Wouldn't they work for what you are doing?

LOL a gas filler condom! No glove no love!
