No problem you are very welcome.

I am getting some calipers cheap. Thanks for all the offers guys, If anything goes wrong with my deal then I will repost. admins please lock/delete this thread.

Search the site or something. Auto Power roll bar. It is just a hoop with a harness bare through it, then it triangulates to the top of the strut towers. Simple, if you have a tubing bender you could make one. I am going to make one and then put in just a single door bar on each side to protect me from side impact accidents. They scare me.

I think if you don't work on the car, or at least learn how to, you have no idea the amount of work going into it. I will say if you put the kid into a class that suits them, with other kids. Just driving a vehicle with no concept of how it works, or how to fix it, or the amount of work that goes into fixing it is not right. Its not my choice what he does or not. Maybe he does have a lot of track experience, that is for the better. I do feel it would be a great father daughter project, but that has to stick to the Father AND daughter working on it and doing it together. Not just, daddy foots the bills, daddy works on it, daddy does it all, and she just drives. I do not know how old any of the F1 drivers are, maybe they are young, if they are under 18 they have no business being in a car that can hold that much speed. Younger people are not as responsible or wise as older people. Like I said, they don't really think it through as much. If he buys his daughter a shifter kart then hopefully he will go through everything with his daughter. Otherwise she will probably go out, no fear, pedal to the medal, especially if she likes going fast and stuff. This is all my opinion. Either way, I am done discussing it here because its is WAY off topic.

Disguise it as fuel cut of? Just have a big arrow and letters saying."FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH"

Yes the 280z one does work. If you want a picture I can get one. I have the one I took of my 77 280z on my 72 240z. They are identical in every way possible.

That's what boots are for, one on the rears and on the fronts. Car won't be going anywhere. I will invest in them. Plus everywhere I go people are going to think I am booted. With the lock pulls and coat hanger that's why you get those ricer ones from auto zone that look like bullets or something. With a pointy tip. Nothing to grab onto. Still swap wires or pull rotor. Have your cut off switch and all. Things you have to remember though, they can almost always break the windows. I don't know but maybe somebody would be willing to pay for high end expensive custom made anti break glass or something? I wouldn't bother unless I lived in a HORRID area. Most car thieves in my area are kids who want a joy ride. I have to say I like the no clutch pedal plan, and a removable shifter handle would work great to. Can't pop it in neutral so it must be towed from the rears and you can't drive it without a clutch or shifter for sure. Also maybe just random switches that do nothing to throw them off?

That's fine, so long as she works on it. Not at 6 though, shifter karts are extremely fast and dangerous. I have seen them do 120, remember you are not strapped in in any way. Its quite a ride if you crash. I am not trying to ruffle feathers, although I probably have. I just don't like seeing kids in race cars that just shouldn't be. There are 14 year olds that mommy and daddy pay for everything. They don't even work on the car, driving 800hp dirt oval track cars. At that age you shouldn't be allowed to drive something with so much power. They drive like they are never going to get hurt and they are super man. Then they get upside down and end up in the hospital. I have seen it, there was a 16 year old not to long ago that was in the hospital in a coma for a few weeks because he flipped a sprint car. Kids have no business in high powered race cars, they just don't. Sad thing is I sound like my dad.

What calipers/rotors do you plan to use? Would you be interested if I got caliper brackets made to fit the 280zx disk and caliper conversion? (late 82-83 parts) Price is still unsure as I haven't got over to the machine shop yet. I am going to try to make a blank out of wood.

Do this, makes the car run 100% smoother!

Saw that yesterday. Totally nuts. I've seen fly by's before races but not during!

I saw, would have been a good investment if you put about 2 or 3k in it and got it for about 1k. You could easily get it turbo and quick for that and then sell it. Or just put it back to factory and sell it to a collector. Remember there are z purists out there that will pay for a good clean car. Not that it was clean the car sounded horrid.

Sorry but I disagree with your last statement. At what age is she getting this shifter kart and is she going to be working on it/doing repairs? I see to many kids at the race track that know nothing about the cars they drive, their parents pay for the car and they drive it. Annoys me to no end, sorry just something that bothers me.

Some of us just don't have that option. We either have other cars that have priority in the garage (yes, cars can take priority over a z) or we don't have a garage. There are many different things, for example, my z is in the garage, but as soon as it is running and drivable it is out of the garage and I won't be able to put it back in. That is for my dads race car. I have no garage for my car.

I may have a brown/tan one floating around, have to let me look, hope its not broken.

Haha, driving crazy like that? Dude, more revs! I couldn't see out the window to see how fast you were going but you can still get like 15 mpg with driving like that. First week I had my 280z I got 11.

Sure are, just let me know how much shipped to 46113. If the price is right consider them sold, after I get pictures that is (Just want to be sure). Thanks, Kinser

Just wanted to say I saw some guy selling his 80 anniversary Black and Red 280zx. You guys know what they are. Crazy guy, car wasn't running worth crap and asked 28k. Then they said 4,000 and he said yes.

Hey man, we still need to meet up some time so I can check out the Z in person. Looks like your facility is great to be working on it, speakers in the ceiling and all. You have some really quality work going on there. You do it all by yourself?

Ok then, I wont worry about it. Thanks

I have the same wheels with center caps that say "Rocket". I thought they were rocket. That makes sense being dealer options. I may want your quarter window louvers by the way.

Well, normally my bank account, even on Sundays, updates with deposits and withdraws automatically. Maybe it will but I am not sure. I am just going to hope it shows up tomorrow I guess.

That had to be expensive.

Its been like 3 or 4 days. It says the transaction is complete on pay pal. As in like the money is in my bank, but it is not.

I was wondering if you guys have ever had these issues with paypal. I did email them. Basically what has happened is I transferred funds from paypal to my bank account. It now says its completed but I do not have my money. Not in paypal, not in my bank account. I am quite frustrated with the fact that my money is not here anymore.
