[Lets see how the service at MSA is...]

crap... I forgot about that...

[What ever happened to the official Hybridz video]

it turns out that there werent enough videos and it didnt get finished, but they have the old video in one of the links

[Lets see how the service at MSA is...]

haha, I found out why it doesnt fit right. They gave me the right kit, but the wrong headpipe. I got one for a 260Z instead of a 280Z and I missed the office by 5 minutes (closes at 3:30pm) and will call tomorrow. I know what you mean Bastaad525 when you say they make a lot of mistakes. Well third time is a charm.

[Lets see how the service at MSA is...]

well, the system came today, but im having problems putting it on. The pipes from the headpipe back are REALLY low... im probably going to have to shorten the headpipe by about 2 inches because it is subtancially longer then the stock one (lying on the ground its about 2 inches higher)

[I get to work on a REAL AC Cobra engine!!!]

well, I get to polish the valve covers, and am getting paid. The story behind it is that my uncle's friend was rebuilding an old flatbottom race boat, and when he tok the engine out to get it rebuilt, the mechanic saw that it was from a AC Cobra. Its a real engine, and has all the vins, and Carroll Shelby is actually building him a replica for him (hes getting paid of course). Its one of those exact replica's, and costs $50,000. Wow , just getting to work with this stuff is a reward in itself

 

pics of the parts soon

[A little Help]

have you tried PMing him? (private messaging) BTW welcome to the board

[ARG! Cant get the car to run!]

how about $100? How much are you asking for it anyways?

[ARG! Cant get the car to run!]

ok, well I checked the fusible links and they look fine. When I replaced the head gasket the only things I took off where the connectors on the wiring harness to the injectors and the intake manifold, and replaced the battery. I cant think why it would have electric problems...

 

BTW Tim, could you give me your V8 engine/drivetrain? It would be for a good cause

[510 info needed]

the blue 510 sold?

[510 info needed]

they have some 510 stuff here http://classicdatsun.com/new/510.html

 

BTW I just saw that they have a nice 510 for sale, http://classicdatsun.com/fs/index.html (the blue one)

[prepping urethane? and installing urethane airdam]

on mine I had to drill some extra holes, but it only took me less then two hours to get it done (it would probably be faster, but I couldnt find any bolts). If you paint it you will need to get a flexible brand of paint, or have the paint shop add some flexing agent in it so it wont crack. Adding a brace behind the airdam would be a good idea too, so it wont buckle at freeway speeds. You can PM Auxilary, and ask how he made his.

[Funny Auction]

Well it does make him look pretty

[Your longest road trip..]

I went to Florida once, but I was like 1, so I dont think that counts

[ARG! Cant get the car to run!]

hehe, I would be tempted to, but I dont have the money for the swap . I pretty much just want to get the car running so I can get it insured with the stock motor and then swap in our 81zxt engine (im taking out the roll bar too, dont want them to charge me more for insurance )

I checked the fuses and they seem to be fine, but I havent looked at the fusible links yet

[Lets see how the service at MSA is...]

Thay left a message on the phone early today, all I have to do is repackage it and Fedex will come pick it up today or tomorrow and they'll send me the right system. I dont even have to pay for shipping

[Post a pic of your Z!]

 

It's going ot the shop soon to get fixed, its got me stumped

[Lets see how the service at MSA is...]

Ok Im going to call them when I get home today, hopefully I'll get this part soon

[bodywork blues]

luckily I was saved from a lot of rust, im sure there's some there but luckily I cant see it ,unlike our 280zxt, which is crunchy where every you touch it

[Convert Z to run on Hybrid Fuel CNG]

You could do it, but you would have to find a shop that would have the parts for the job. Also there arent very many places where you can fill it up. I remember seeing this on Auto Motor and Sport (from Britian), they installed a new fuel tank in the spare tire compartment and re-did the fuel system. Anything is possible with money

[Fuel injector upgrade question.]

im pretty sure that any fuel injector would fit, but the problem would be with the FI connectors.

[It's my birthday...I am 28 years old.]

Happy B-Day! 16 is just around the corner for me!

[Lets see how the service at MSA is...]

On Sunday (the show) I bought their premium exhaust system for the stock manifold. I opened it up today to install it only to find they gave me the wrong one, I got the one for headers which costs some $40 less. I hope hey better send me the headpipe (I can pay for shipping) instead of making a big deal about it, I havent dealt with them much so I dont know how this is going to work. We'll see...

[Not again - emissions!!!]

so a 77' Z will never be smog exempt? Luckily my car will be exempt even if they do pass it , it still sucks though

[Idea for forum addittion ?]

a stereo/interior forum would be a nice addition too

[ARG! Cant get the car to run!]

I just finished putting the injectors back on after soaking them, and it still isnt getting any fuel into the cylinders. I also noticed that the brake lights, fan, and lowbeams dont work either (they did when the car was running pre dissasembly). Could they and the FI be connected?
