zx beast

Your z is beautifull by the way mr jc 05... But anyways, I have been told repeatedly from kids at school (never a good source) but they say running a straight header is bad for your car, because I backfire sometimes, and that is bad for the valves. Is that true? Will running a straight header kill my car? And do you think I could fix alittle of the back fire problem with new high performance sparkplugs, and or wires, and or coil? To reduce the amount of unburnt fuel by burning more is what I was thinking...

I am now running straight headers... lol and the fumes kinda suck, but I like the sound lol I feel a differance when I get past four thousand rpm, but I feel a power slump between two thousand five hundred, and three thousand... So I think it is no good for top end. But when I really get on it, I do notice a differance in how long I do not have traction (I can't hear myself burn rubber now though... exhaust is too loud)

Actually, my heater works just as well as it used to, which is really really good. I have a bunch of holes in my car, and it still gets very warm, very quick.

I have to do the same thing. All I know forsure is that Black dragon auto is very overpriced, and maybe you would have better luck at a junk yard. That is my plan.

You don't have to buy the valve, you can just pick up a 3 way from autozone for like a couple bucks. I was having the same problem with mine leaking, and also couldn't find a new one.

I am running 20w50 in my car, and when the car is ideling the pressure is about 50psi, and when I get on it it goes up to 75 or 80. but the pressure def isnt low because the 20w50

Hey, so I am thinking my speedo is about 10mph fast... so I was wondering if anyone has a 130mph speedo they are willing to let go for cheap, or if someone else has already put one in, if they have the stock one laying around if they would be willing to let it go for real cheap. Or is there an easy way to fix mine? Thanks.

can I put a turbo sized flywheel and clutch plate on my 81 na, or would I have to do a t5 swap? My clutch is slippin pretty bad when I get on it, it is prob stock after the last 28 years... lol

hey, I am in copperas cove tx, and lookin for some lsd... if I were to drive down there, how much would it cost to pick up a lsd... I have an 81 zx na... what is the best gear ratio???

So, what would you have to do to put a T5 into a NA 81 zx?

if you have water on the front of your block it is prob from a bad thermostat gaskett, just fixed the prob myself

So, I bought my little 280zx, and have bought headers, intake, and exhaust for it, but think if I tune the car alittle, I could squeeze some more power out of it... but I don't know how to do any electronic work... or anything... How can I tune my car for more power?

How much would a dash cost me?

He is right about the header wrap, and I think you do need the washers... or at least you "should" use them... They make up for the space differance between the flange of the header since it is a differant size... It goes on the top bolts of the header where it overlaps with the intake.

So amond many other problems, lol, everytime I depress my clutch pedal, there are 3 clicking noises... I read on someones v8 post that there scarab doese the same because a mount is broke... Does anyone have another diagnosis? And where is this mount he is talking about? Sorry for newbishness, but I am kinda at a loss...
