  1. http://www.specialtysales.com/inventory_detailed.php?id=4004&nhs=70&make=&model=&ext_color=&stockno=&eyear=2006&syear=1900&eprice=&sprice=&keywords=&location=&type=used&specials=&rtd=&solds=&replica=&ob=yr&desc=&t=1971+Datsun+240Z

    Here is the real ad. The ebay ad is a fake. I have been to the place i Pleasanton and they are reputable and have some of the baddest cars in Norcal for sale.

     

    ya, i figured that the CA seller was the legit one. thx

     

    Thanks e_racer. I contacted this scammer and he replied, vaguely. I questioned him more, just to find out more information about him so i could possibly nail this @ss. Now i have his IP address plus some additional info and hope to track him down even further. Here is one of the replies that he's sent to me. Watch your back guys........

     

    i hate scammers. they target enthusiasts like us to do their dirty work. too bad it's not REALLy 3500 shipped tho :P

     

     

     

     

    *EDIT - is it me, or do i perpetually have 42 posts?

  2. ^ i understand about GMAW; AAMOF i'm planning on getting a MIG-capable arc welder myself (after xmas, of course :D).

     

    it just seemed kind of odd to have "gasless" and "MIG" right next to each other, since true MIG has a shielding gas. although i think i know what he meant: MIG (arc) vs. TIG (oxy-acetylene)

  3. the old oil isn't harming anything; it's just there to slow the rise of the piston inside the carb.

     

    FWIW i've always used 20W oil (or in a pinch 10W30), but i don't recommend ATF. haven't had much experience with MMO tho.

  4. ^^ya that did bewilder me for a moment....

     

    anyway, it does kind of depent on what you want to do with your car. if you want to drag race it, then you are going to want to go balls to the wall and go for either a turbo swap or a full set up. if you want to do SCCA or ITS, you need to see what you can get away with. i am in a similar situation as you and i am just going to be building an N47 L28 (ripping out the exhaust sleeves) with slightly domed pistons, cam, 6-1 header to 2.5 and SUs. that's fine for me. if you want more power, i suggest checking out a 3.0 or 3.1 set up..... just my $.02

  5. thought about reviving an old post... i have that same problem. are your carbs tuned perfectly? check your choke levels as well.... also, make sure that your carb damper oil is topped off.. some say 20W is the best. i'm running 30W and it's too thick, but i've been diluting it with 10W-30. also, make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks.

  6. hey, i posted this in the classifieds but to no avail.. i have a 3.7 R200 w/ halfshafts that i want to trade for a 3.7-4.11 R180.... if anyone has any suggestions, hit me up!
