[1/2 of my car was in SPORTZ!!!]

awesome cant wait for the issue to arrive!

 

JSR 4 Lyfe!

[Got my BRE style spoiler today-Pics!!]

Actually its the 432 style one from Classic Datsun. The part has excellent quality, the gel coat is very smooth, and it looks like it will fit perfectly against the body. It was well worth the $165 that he sold it for. The only thing that I would change is the two bolts that are on the ends of the spoiler by moving them in about 2 inches. Right now they are near the edges of the hatch so it is difficult to get in the right position. Unfortunatly I broke two bits already and the mounting is beginning to be a PITA, but when I get it done I will post some pics

[Any experience with BFG Radial T/As????]

try looking in to a set of Falken Azenis Sports, my dad has them on his Z and they are very sticky, especially for the price. they hardly ever squeal even on the autox course. unfortuntely they come in limited sizes and the only 14" they carry is a 195/60

 

edit: i almost forgot, these aren't good winter tires

[Need help from California posters!!!]

my father is a CHP officer, so I know some stuff. He is just a regular officer and makes about $65,000 a year, lots of vacation (like 2 months a years or something like that), and I think they just got a raise (albeit small). If you have a pilots liscence the pilots make $100,000 (fixed wing, and helicopter)

[1979 280zx, Overflow Tank Missing? Strange Question]

yea, your car is missing it but its not really that important. btw you really are 14?

[Got brake?]

They're from a shop here in San Jose I believe

They're probably from Scott Performance

[Car wont start when hot]

yea

[ARG! Cant get the car to run!]

I finally put the car back together after about 9 months of work. Unfortunatly the car wont run , but it does turn over fine. At first we thought it was the timing, but we checked and everything is right on top dead center. The car is getting spark, gas, combustion, and the timing seems to be right on. Why is it doing this? BTW the car is a 75 280z and on the thermostat housing there is a small ground plug that has a broken wire, it used to have one ground and the other "terminal" was already broken off so I dont know what it looks like. The car ran before the disassembly so I dont if it is too important, but since something similar costs nearly $80 at the parts store, it must be important any replies would be greatly appreciated, I wanna get this thing on the road!

[Theft prevention]

how much is LoJack? I looked on the site, but it didnt say anything.

 

[Big Block Buick in ZX?]

In our small fleet of cars at home we have a "slighty" rusty 81 280ZXT and a big block Buick nailhead engine. The plan is to put the turbo engine in my dads Z 2+2 and put the nailhead in the zx. it would be cool and we have the stuff, have you ever seen this before and are there any kits? Just toying with the idea but 330+lbs of torque stock would be nice.

[Car wont start when hot]

We went for a drive in the Z and when we stopped after about 30 mins of driving (pretty fast) the car wouldnt start. The fuel lines didnt feel hot to the touch but the intake was extremely hot (im pretty sure thats normal). We tried spraying some water on the fuel lines bt it didnt do anything. When we were driving the temp guage didnt say it was hot . BTW he has a four core radiator on the car so could it be giving off more heat then usual? (dont think thats the problem because he's had it for a while). Also could the fan clutch be going out?

 

edit: also, the car is backfiring through the airfilter (actually its more like "spitting" )

[Car wont start when hot]

i'll try putting on some extra shielding, hopefully that will help. thanks for the replies

[Car wont start when hot]

we came back from a trip near LA and we were moving pretty good on the way back (over 110mph ) so I dont know if it could be the injectors.

 

When the car turns over it does it fast, and when it finally catches it barely keeps up the idle so he has to constantly adjust the throttle to keep rpms up, and it usually idles right on tjhe verge of stalling and backfires about 4 times while right after it catches. The car has no problem picking up rpms when he blips the throttle but if he lets completely off the throttle it will stall. Its strange because after keeping it running for a bit and drives it it is fine.

they could probably put me under the van, or maybe the Seville STS

[Insurance Rates for 1st time drivers]

my family has 4 cars on the plan right now, with me it would be 5 cars and 3 drivers. I could probably keep it under 3500, i wouldnt be able to pay for the gas to go too far anyways

[Insurance Rates for 1st time drivers]

who happen to have a Z. Im going to be getting my permit pretty soon and insurance is becoming an issue. I was talking to CJarlo on AIM and he said he was paying about $1200 for 6 months! I dont know if I can afford to pay for the insurance myself . If you guys have suggestions on what to do about this PLEASE reply. BTW how much does insurance for a 5.0 Mustang cost, and how much money is expected from a part time job at minimum wage (monthly)?
