[Anybody ever do sides pipes on your zx?]

well i was thinking something similar to the lightning, not running down the whole side

[Anybody ever do sides pipes on your zx?]

Well i have headers and a high flow cat. And now my cars exhaust pipe is rotting away. i was thinking of having the exhaust pipe come out under the driverside area. The only thing is i dont know where i would put the piping because my car is pretty low. Anybody have pics of your set up or any suggestions?

[Rebuild kit?]

Im looking to either get my engine rebuilt or do it myself. Or if its cheaper to do a v8 swap. Anyways my question is there anybody out there that sells a rebuild kit for the l28? or is there someplace in AZ that does rebuilds. The car has about 125k but is running really rough. thanks for the help in advance

[Any 240sx owners out there?]

I just bought a 89 240sx its got the ka24e that i plan on turboing and making it into a daily driver/drifter. I heard the ka24e is better than the de since it has lower compression? Can anybody confirm this?

[280zx mods]

yeah i know how it is to be broke im 17 and im always broke. Check out Lonewolf intakes and theres some others i cant remember

[280zx mods]

You could always go turbo, or just upgrade your intake and injectors and go with a performance cam. Theres lots of upgrades just search around on here theres tons of stuff

[280zx mods]

Msa has some better header and exhaust choices

[Crazyoctopus 1972 240z build up (long first post)]

wait it has to be an engine powered by human waste like there talking about on the non-tech board!!! lol jk but love the car man, its alot like how i want to make mine

[No brake pressure??]

So just do the same as bleeding the calipers and its the little valves on the side of it right?

[No brake pressure??]

So i was driving and the brakes were grinding in my 83 so i checked it and they were down to the metal. i switched out the pad and now theres no pressure in the system. i tried bleeding the brakes already and it did nothing. In the past i changed the rear calipers and bled them after and they were working fine. I took it to the shop and they said theres no pressure and that some calipers are getting more fluid than the others and on isn't getting any fluid. So does anybody know what it could be?? its one thing after another with this car thanks for the help

[Stock exhaust diameter?]

Hi, im trying to find a high flow cat and i found some cheap off ebay but i dont know what size the stock exhaust is. i know this is probably going to the shed but im hoping i could get an answer first. So what is the diameter off the stock exhuast???

[Does anyone knows this body kit?]

hmm kinda looks like that kit ^^ but with some custom changes on the air dam

[Sign in if you drift your S130!]

Where the pictures at?? I was thinking of building a 280zx for drifting, maybe put a v8 in it!

[Why would you buy a Smart car?]

Kinda off topic but i think it would be pretty funny to buy a prius and swap a v8 with a quiet exhuast lol pretty cool sleeper i think

[Is my headgasket blown?]

I'll probably go with a new one lol i need something reliable cuz im gonna have drive 60 miles a day to school

[Is my headgasket blown?]

Mechanical. Simple, reliable, does not "rob horsepower" IMHO.

 

Ok cool. Any body got a extra fan clutch they wanna get rid of? lol

[Is my headgasket blown?]

checked the fan and it spun freely while cold. Now im trying to decide if i should switch to electric fan or keep it mechanical..hmm which would be better for a daily driver?

[Is my headgasket blown?]

im gonna check the fan today. completely forgot to check it befroe i drove it yesterday

[Is my headgasket blown?]

I checked the spark plugs. no coolant but there was some oil on them, not alot though.

[Is my headgasket blown?]

I think Mikez31ss was referring to the fan clutch. The fan blade should be (tight) difficult to spin when the engine is cold and spins more freely at operating temp; If you can spin the fan blade when the engine is cold the clutch needs replaced--commonly overlooked as suspect to overheating problems.

Oh ok I'll check that out today lol I wasn't sure what he meant

[Is my headgasket blown?]

Do a leak down test or compression test. Or go get them done at a shop. Also when you changed your coolant, was is full of rust or gunk? Also what type of coolant mix do you use? 50/50? I use 70water/30coolant and use water wetter.

 

Yeah it was brown lol my old water inlet got so corroted pieces broke off and my old radiator was really clogged up. Ive tried somethiing like the water wetter and it worked for a while but not long

[Is my headgasket blown?]

The fan and the oil are good. I was thinking of getting an electric fan to use with the mechanical fan.. would that maybe help the problem?

[Is my headgasket blown?]

I had problems with my zx of it over heating after about half an hour running. So i changed the thermostat, radiator, water pump, head temp. sensor and i thought the problem was gone. Now the car is running pretty good but when i get stuck at lights for a while the temp. starts going up but goes back down once i start driving again. Also theres a ticking coming from the valve cover and it seems like it gets louder as the engine gets to operating temps. Really need to get this fixed soon so any input is great.. Thanks!

[Pic Request]

Ive been looking for some rims and know what I want now but cant decide what color. Its between the gold or silver XXR 501s. I put up a pic of my car for reference. So what do you think gold or silver? And anybody have a picture of a blue zx with gold rims?
