I'd say go for it! Then your Z will actually be fast........lol!

Doc, are you going to use a victor jr. instead? Just curious.

oops, typo, I meant 100%

closest guess wins right? I want a ride in the Monte for the prize!

I agree with Doc 10%. I knew a guy once that had this very problem, no it wasn't me.....honest. OK, so it was me, part of the learning curve.

I guess $750

me pick my jaw up off the floor? Now there is a Ford that deserves some respect! Let's see, Ford GT engine + Stage 1 kit + early S30 Z.............. enough said!!!

He hangs out at a "toothless" bar and thinks this car "thing" is sexy? He must be drinking the alky intended for the cars at the "tooth-challenged" bar.........lol, just kidding Doc! BTW, you have a brother here in Denver? I was at the Doctors office early this week, and your twin walked by, looks just like you, minus the Elmer Fudd cap. I actually got up to take a 2nd look.

having someone turn the steering wheel while you check for slop in the rack to tie-rod movement. Good luck.

Man, you must have been squashed in that car. I sat in one once, I am 5'11" and I felt squashed.

LOL! Just kidding. You are too funny.

Thanks for posting the pics Justin! Is the website as slow for you as it is for me?

I didn't want to hijack Corzette's thread about Z toys, so I started this one. Anyway, I have been looking for a die-cast model of a S30 Z for years, every time I see die-casts, I look. Well last week I was in a local toy store with my son, and was walking past the die-casts, I wasn't even going to look, as I had given up, but I glanced down and there on the bottom shelf was a Silver, 1:18 scale die-cast Z!!! I was so happy, I felt as though I had the holy grail in my hands! I immediately dug through all 5 shelves full of die-casts, but to no avail. Needless to say I bought it for $14.99! I had the clerk ask around, and there is a store about a 2 hour drive from here that may have 2 or 3 more of them. They are made by http://www.sunstartoys.com I must warn you, the website is EXTREMELY SLOW!!! I have high speed internet and it was as slow as a 56K connection! Well, I waited for the pages to load, and much later could see that they have a whole assortment of cool cars! I didn't see any ordering info. The Z's come in orange #3501, black #3502, and silver #3503. The detail on the one I have is pretty good. Hopefully I'll get a chance this weekend to drive to this other store and see if they do have any more Z's. Any interest in these die-cast models? If so, I can buy them if they do have them, and send them to any interested members. I am not looking to make any money on this, and only would want the cost of model and shipping. If interested, shoot me a pm. As for the pics, I included a Hotwheels car in the pics for size comparison........... Well the pics are a no go, as I am unable to post attachments in the Non-tech forum, but I can in the other forums, hmmmmmmmm any ideas guys? Anyone with a link to post pics?

I guess I'm #4

Oh, that's a low blow Doc, altough it was funny!

On being pregnant. Just get the baby some clothes with Hybrid Z printed on them. I think my 6 year old son is becoming quite a fan as well. I was driving him to the store yesterday and we were stopped next to a rather nice 240Z at a redlight. I gave the guy a thumbs up and reved the motor in my ole' Honda Accord. Well, light turns green and the guy takes off like a bat out of h*ll, and my son says, "Dad, I see why you like Z cars so much, did you see the way he took off?". You couldn't pry the smile from my face with a crowbar after that. Anyway, congrats again, being a Dad is a truly wonderful experience. Good luck!

That is incredible! I have never heard of this method for rust removal, but it obviously works pretty good. I wonder how it would do on rusty body panels? Maybe somebody can experiment with a piece of an old rusted Z car panel. Now this sounds crazy, but if it works, this may be a somewhat economical way of de-rusting a Z car shell, would require a really big tank though.

I'm glad you got the linkage worked out. When you get the Z running, it should do very well. Good luck.

I can't figure this trans out either. The 2nd trans must have a flux capacitor creating the overdrive........lol

I'll bet your Z drives as good as it looks!

Yeah, we feel bad for you Terry. Going to that place must be like heaven on earth! Anyone want to buy an awesome wife and 2 great kids? Then I can get that red S30 G-nose. Just kidding!

I haven't been watching the auction, judging by the posts here, it does sound like a shady deal.

This TURBO has a Vette?.................LOL!

Like Doc, I call b.s. on this one too, I am still curious how they set it up though. Maybe I'll try to email the seller.

I think this is a good place to post this, if not, admins please move as you see fit. Anyway, I saw this '75 Prostreet Monte on ebay, item #140030733511. Ad says it has two TH400 trans, creating a 5 speed? I guess the 1st trans is mounted as normal, then the 2nd trans minus bellhousing is mounted almost similar to a Gear Vendors overdrive unit? I am pretty sure a Z does not have room for this, I am just curious about this type of install.
