  1. Why don't you buy a new sender for a gas Maxima?
  2. Are you still using the stock 260 distributor with points? If so leave the ballast resistor.
  3. I would just change the electric fan to a Taurus one. I keep hearing problems with the Black Magic fan. I've got the Camero rad with the Taurus fan, and have AC. It gets very hot here in Hotlanta, and I have no overheating problems! Header wrap creates condensation, which rusts headers from the outside-in
  4. I got rid of all my little hoses, and the small tank, mine was metal. I welded all the holes on the gas tank shut except the one on the top facing the front of the car. I ran a small hose from there to the small hose connection on the down spout that went to the small tank. This is now my vent. I drilled two small holes in the gas cap to help vent, even though the Z cap does not seal that well. It seams to work fine.
  5. Can't wait to see this!! Any side bets?
  6. NSRA (National Street Rod Assosiation) did the same thing, and they printed out a small pocket size book of the list to keep in your car. Maybe someday when we get enough people on the list we could do something similar.
  7. OK, that's cool. Pete will be down here on Thursday Sept 12th, and we'll cruise down together to the Southeast Shootout on Friday. To bad you can't make it. I'll get in touch with you before the next meeting.
  8. Hey Ryan, (sorry off topic here)are you going to be in town this Tuesday? I'm planning on going to the Georgia Z Club meeting at Hooters at Jimmy Carter blvd. It would be great if you and Paul can come. Another member BlueX will be there also. Now back to your regularly scheduled topic
  9. Good points!, you mentioned drive line angles. Found this site a while ago it explains about it. http://www.iedls.com/guide.html
  10. I guess it would have to be a 350ci Chevy! By the way, why did they call it a 350Z? 340Z would have sounded cooler.
  11. Can you shine a flashlight through the fork hole and see anything? If you can see the bearing, have someone push in the clutch and try to see if there is any play before the bearing touches the fingers of the pressure plate. I know the guy says the bearing is correct, but it sure sounds like that is the problem. Are you sure the fork is connected to the bearing right? It has to be floating in the slot, not on the rim of that slot.
  12. For sure I'll be bringing my car, unless it's raining. I'll be there around 6:30pm
  13. Baking soda, or walnut shells, but do not use sand on the body it will warp.
  14. Did you check your throwout bearing? Like stated in the past post there are different length bearings. A longer bearing may make the differnce. Did you try adjusting the rod that goes into the master from the clutch peddle?
  15. I'm planning on going to the Sept meeting coming up. Are you going? If so I'll see you there.
  16. This is cool! I sent my info, your turn!
  17. Ya, that's what I meant by pickup. Well if the tank is that clean, I would say your electric fuel pump is at fault. It sounds like it's overheating, and when you add cool gas, it keeps the pump cool for a while. Your regulator shouldn't make a differnce hot or cold. It's just a diafram. Now vacuum to the regulator(if yours has vacuum), or a pin hole leak in it could cause problems, but my guess is the pump.
  18. Are you sure you don't have dirt or rust in the tank? It sounds like the pickup is getting clogged, and when you put new gas in, it moves everything around in there, clearing the pickup.
  19. Welcome, BlueX_v1! Sounds like you thought out your plan. I would go with #2 - 5.0 with 5 sp. A 3 speed will screem on the hyw, and drive you nuts. By the way where do you live in Atlanta? I'm in Gwinnett county.
  20. Cool!, go to this site to register : http://z31.com/sezs/ then go to this tread: http://www.hybridz.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=001077;p=1 and read what's goin on, and we'll see you there! Maybe you can help us find hotels near the track.

    Are you guys sure you aren't describing Atlanta! This whole city is full of Morons! Except me and other Hybrid Z guys that is.
  22. Welcome V8440! We all believe those numbers 'cause we have seen them before. A few guys here have done that. definitely change out that rear it sounds like it's toast! Where in AL are you? We are having a Z car shootout in Montgomery AL on Sept 13, and would love to see you there with your Z. Check out "Anouncements" for Southeast Shootout.
  23. They really think that this would happen???
