  1. Im hoping to get my dad's 81 zxt engine pretty soon, but I was wondering if the turbo downpipe will attach to a 280z exhaust. If I do this swap im planning on putting on a catback exhaust (from MSA) but will I have to do some cutting/welding to make it fit?

     

    Thanks, Joey

  2. for only 10 sec before it ran out out of gas, but im glad I finally got something to run :D I wanted to get this thing to run, because Im gonna get the whole engine, rear discs, and everything else needed for a swap, for FREE! If i can get it ready hopefully tomorrow we can take it for a ride(its still registered for this month), but it is one sorry looking car. Peeling paint, rust exploding everywhere, slightly moldy interior :puke: , luckily the last owner took better mechanical care of it. Maybe we can do some burnouts :D . Finally my car will become a HybridZ, but not for a while :(

  3. My dad got called out to a car sitting on the side of the highway. It was a mechanic (a young guy) and his boss test driving a customer's new Jaguar XK coupe. It turned out that the mechanic was servicing the car and in the hurry he forgot to put oil back in! :shock:

     

    Dont be too hard on him, but Im glad I havent destroyed any engines yet :)

  4. I think I figured out why my car isnt starting. During the disassembly and assembly the injectors where close to a pretty weak magnet (the kind that is used to pick up small screws ect) and my Dad accidentally layed a light with a magent base on the #2 injector for about 3 seconds. How sensitive are the injectors, would the short exposure ruin them? Luckily its a easy fix if thats it :?

  5. Me and my dad where at Wheels n Deals today, and they were selling a beautiful 84' Corvette, for only $3900!! He seems really interested in buying it. He took it for a drive and it needs some work. If he got the Corvette he would have to sell his 280Z 2+2 and I would get the 81 ZXT parts car! I would hate to see the 2+2 go but getting my turbo swap into my Z would be great, especially since it would be FREE :D . Also if he got rid of the rest of his junk we would get trade in the STS Caddy and get my mom a new car (something like a Celica w/an auto). Hopefully he'll buy the Vette :-D

     

    BTW if you want to buy a 66' Rivera, or a 21' Dodge hotrod project email me :D

  6. in my neighborhood, not very much goes on, but on Wednesday we had a shooting about 3 blocks from my house. Supposedly a vietnamese man who was not familiar with the area was at a stop sign when two men with guns walked up to his car, and when he saw them (he knew them) and tried to get away he accidentally clipped their car that was behind him and they opened fire into his car. He was hit but he didnt get killed, but still, it hits pretty close to home :evil:

  7. Heres the pics of the mounted spoiler

    it fits nice and close to the hatch, but I still have to bolt on the outer studs. It took about 3 hours and a good amount of blood loss from a sharp piece of metal to get it done, but for the more experienced it would be much less. BTW the 432 and BRE style spoilers are pretty much the same, just that the one from CD is a copy instead of a copy of a copy (does that make sense? im confusing myself :) ) its much better then the POS MSA sells...

     

    Dont you just love the very organized garage? :oops:
