The cars are fair game. They need a little more than I want to deal with I think. Not too big on the "wide body" style on the 240z either. I was contemplating selling my 280z and putting the money into the 240 but I think I will just keep it. Vinnie, If you want to call me to ask any specific questions, PM or email me and I'll give you my number. I could possibly answer some questions you may have. I took a bunch of pics of all 3 cars. I will try to get some posted later tonight or tomorrow sometime. The orange one is pretty decent except for being really dirty. The owner is super nice and a z nut as well. It's a shame these cars were messed up in the hurricane. The damage to the area is unreal. I've seen it on TV and all but it's totally different in person. You can see through almost every house in the area. The bottom walls area pretty much non-existant. Pretty crazy. JT

I am headed out the door to go look at the 3 cars he has. I am planning on biddind on at least one of the rhd's, depending on the condition when I get there.....can't tell too much from the bad pics. I will post after I look at them. Vinny, if I end up getting the 240z I would more than likely be willing to work something out for you to able to use some parts to make molds with or whatever. I'll let you know when I get back how it looks. Oh yeah, he is actually only about 30 mins from me....lol. Not sure how these could be this close and me not have heard about them at some point. JT

All we could figure was that maybe he was grazing the brake pedal with his foot when shifting. I dunno. JT

Gollum: I only put down 422 rwhp when I dyno'd the car but that was with the boost falling off to 14 psi at the top of the pull. I estimate it's making 450+ or so with the boost holding. That's on pump gas and 17-18 psi. There's still alot more power to be had with more boost and higher octane. JT

I bought mine off ebay. Already polished and pretty cheap. I may even have a few left over. I'll check and let you know if I do. Check on ebay though. I bought mine from a guy that sells alot of "JDM" type stuff. He had bends in alot of sizes. JT

Yeah, the vette at the end is the same one I posted the video of me racing a while back. It has the 383 linginfelter motor.....made like 470 rwhp or so. We've been trying to convince him to put some gas on it. He was racing a heads/cam/nitrous c5 when he passed the camera car. JT

The bike that kicked it with us was a 05 gsxr 1300 Busa in case anyone was wondering. JT

Out messing around with some guys last night and kicked it a few times with my buddy's kenne bell 03 cobra. It laid down 580rwhp earlier last night on the dyno. Went from about 60mph and he got out about a car on me. Top of 3rd I was at his door but then missed 4th. Kind of suprised I was able to run him down. http://www.z06phile.neptune.com/ enter the sight and then click on "enter as guest" It's the vid called "car night 10.01.05" JT

Hmmmm. That's only about an hour away from me and I have a truck and trailer. Damnit. Last thing I need is another car but this one is going to be hard to pass up. LOL. JT

Not usually a big fan of zx 2+2's but that's pretty bad ***. Nice engine choice. Welcome to the board. JT

If you are willing to do a little driving there is a great place in Opelika, AL (about 90 miles from Atlanta). It's called Foreign Automotive Technicians. The owner's name is Ira and he has a bunch of old z's and such. Super nice guy and always very fair on whatever parts he has. If you want to get in touch with him the number is 334-742-0789. Tell him Jonathon gave you the number. JT

Definately give James a call.... JT

Sounds like lots of fun! Like I said, I have a couple of buildable turbo shortblocks sitting around. You are welcome to either one if you make it this way anytime. JT

Wow. BlueOvalZ who? j/k Thats some crazy work. JT

LOL. It's all your fault! JT

Lookin good garret. Anxious to see what kind of power she makes. JT

Any aluminum polish should do the trick. Mother's polish comes in a little round can and you can buy it at most any auto parts store......good stuff. JT

I'm always leary of an auction when the bidder's ID's are kept private. JT

Weird, I was going to post this same question the other day but didn't. Had this discussion with some friends a little while back. I have always said hybridz, one word, but always wondered if I had it right or not. JT

There are pics floating around of a whole 350z interior in a s30 so it can be done. Don't have any tips for you though. JT
