My JTR SBC headers did the same, but I used a different company for the ceramic coating (nothing against JTR, I just changed my mind later). Would something in the material cause this? I'm not familiar with ceramic coating, but I wouldn't think it would...

I'm definately interested in this...

Sorry, I've done two swaps and on car 1 I went with a standalone and car 2 I swapped it into another S130 chassis, so technically I've never done a L28et to S30 swap using the factory wiring.

The shift solenoid is different. I can't tell you how different they are, but they're different part numbers. Everything else in the transmission should be pretty much the same, internally. It could have a different size tail shaft / housing.

They look flawless to me - I'm happy.

Sorry you had a rough day, but at least you made me happy today - I got my smoked headlight covers in. Good luck with the opti

Well now you've been called out.

Hey Shaggy, RedEvilrps13 is bragging about his goatee in the "Post a Picture of Yourself" thread - go put him to shame

Hey John, is there any OEM weatherstripping left for the 280zx T-Top coupe? (Rear window and side doors in specific) I haven't had much luck - even MSA tells me they're waiting on a shipment.

She only sees 93

Yeah, every car is going to require different ve values. You're better off connecting a wideband to it and adjusting the ve tables according to that. For me, on the highway, anything over 16.5:1 and I can feel the engine start to buck (could also be due to a lot of timing), but I try to keep it at around 16:1 and I see around 28mpg cruising at 3100 rpms.

Yeah, I can be there tonight. I may not stay too long - we're supposed to go watch "The Bank Job" tonight.

Well screw it, I just bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D330218691159%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1&item=330218691159 Seems like a pretty good price for the whole kit. I've read it can provide at least 9psi on a 408, and since it's intercooled, it should help keep the underhood temps down. I'm more than confident I'll be able to hit my power goals with this one, so I'll probably be listing the whipple up for sale pretty soon.

What's up beardman (aka josh)? Yeah, we've had some things happen in these last few weeks, realized we've had some communication issues, and we agreed to have at least night each weekend where we go out and do whatever - cruise through the hills, watch a movie, play laser tag...just something out of the apartment. Plus, she's really excited I just bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D330218691159%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1&item=330218691159 I think she's more anxious for me to install it than I am. We'll see... Anyways, your wife sounds pretty cool - you should bring her to the next meet.

I remember seeing that car for sale on craigslist, but it didn't last too long. Guess now I know why...

Man, put it in a dark room so when she turns on the lights, BAM! Scare the piss outta her and put it on youtube.

The 2.3 is a great little engine, but my gawd it has no balls. It would make a gread DD if you don't want to speed around.

So, is there a way we can edit our own title in the user cp, or is the privilege reserved for the admins? I'd prefer the latter...seems more fun. I think it's a catchy little incentive for donations.

Actually, I was going to try an *cough* electric HVLP *cough* and see how well it would turn out. I couldn't find any info on the net, so I figured I'd be the guinea pig. I figured it couldn't be worse than rolling it. But, I'm starting to think that rolling it may be my best option, with the limited space and tools that I have.

As I stated earlier... I think the 2.8 would suit my needs better.

I was planning on using acrylic urethane, and from what I understand clearcoat is optional with that type of paint. Yeah, I have a portable air tank, I just didn't think it would last that long. I'll probably use that before I wipe it down with the wax/grease (once I figure out what exactly it's called)

That's what I'm trying to accomplish. I've asked her before, but she says she always feels like she's in the way. I'm working on it though...

How exactly were the fans positioned? I'd imagine that you had the fans setup at the entrance/exit of the shed (same door) to blow out, correct? I wouldn't think you had them placed all the way inside the shed, because then it would blow the spray around. I've never sprayed in an area this small, so I'm not sure what exactly is going to happen. I've prepared myself to get ready for a lot of sanding. The only other car I sprayed was with a friend of mine that did body work for a living, so he already had all the supplies and tools I needed, and it was in a large shop. Plus it was a while back, so I don't remember what all was used, but I think I do recall some sort of chemical I wiped the car down with. What exactly is the auto thinner labeled (what does it say on the can...just "auto thinner")?
