Is that a hole on your 5th exhaust runner? I rockthe blue header too! (except mines not a turbo header ) (on second thought it doesn't look so blue... may be the picture.)

the headlights look exactly like an S2000's... where is this 350z nonsense comming from? edit: added image...

That is very cool. When are those long A** itbs going to go on? congrats no getting the car running!

Also check the resistance on all your spark plug wires. Some of yours may not have continuity any more. Mine are in the 600ish ohm range. It usually goes by ohms per feet. did you check the little wire on the starter? the one going to the selenoid?

MMM new "datsun" cube in bre stripes... hehe edit: http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/06/05/report-datsun-brand-could-one-day-return-to-us/

flyin' bubbas!

man that car looks clean. How do those things do on rust? Unibody or body on frame?

The two times I weighed my car 1) at the track 2580lbs with me standing on the scale, ran a 14.8 1/4 2) at a certified truck scale, with my z fully loaded on the way to florida (spring break!!) 2940lbs

awsome... anyone remember this?

yeah! I heard the skyline and I flipped! No way, they're "too cool" for a hakosuka. trueno- flip up for sure...

haha this reminded me of a story I had forgotten about!! One day, My g/f, my friend, and I were riding around in the Z (no I don't have a 2+2). We were going to get some pizza and I decided to cut through the neighborhoods as it was rush hour and all the main streets were crowded. Well, we drove by a house with an 80's Mercedes parked in front and the lady of the house watering the plants in their front yard. As I drove by, I happened to notice out of the corner of my eye a very strange looking car in the partially open garage. Being the car guy that I am, I halted all driving for the moment and jumped out of the car (startling the lady with the hose) and proceeded to ask her what kind of car that was. She took me into the garage and said they were mangusta's. Both of them... yes one was parked on top of the other on one of those lift thingies. (Technical term BTW) They apparently belonged to her husband, who she was sure could tell us alot more information about the cars than she could. I will never forget the look on her face when she saw my friend crawling out of the hatch

those autozone floor mats really set the car off... ...i'm sure they smell like fish too.

yes. Except it is spelled Trueno... like thunder in spanish. AE86 is just the chassis code for that model of corolla.

Can you put it in the downloads section? that would be great. If not can you pm me the manuals? I like to read this sort of thing. thanks!

Thats definitely a different front end treatment for a Z. Not exactly my taste, but its unique! Is that a PDK brace or a home-brew one?

speaking of initial d... when I saw the 86 corolla with the wat's there was something in the back of my head that said "tak, show this duma** how to drift" but no...

wow, I thought my garage was small. I think you have inspired me to get off my butt and get my garage in order. lets see... last time i put my car in the garage was well over 2 years ago. time to get cracking.

Sweet! I unfortunately cannot share in your experiences. There is a really nice 240z that drives by my house every once in a while. Sometimes I'll be working on my car in the driveway and the guy just puts on a stone cold hard-a$$ face and drives by like he's the sh*t. Some people just aren't that friendly. oh, you will have to tell us your driving impressions of the 240z!

I'm sure you can weld it back up. Just make sure you heat up the manifold before you weld, otherwise it will crack again.

wow that is just SICK.

I asked the guy at the Home Depot yesterday if he could order it and he said to go to a paint store, but from what I've looked up, most dedicated paint stores DO NOT sell rustoleum. I'll have to ask lowes if they do it.

Yep. Turbo mufflers are less than 20 bucks at Autozone... I'd say that's a rather inexpensive get out jail free card.

how about some sort of large autoclave?
