Yesterday i was working on my truck....it broke down on one of the main roads-bad clutch, so i started it in first(no clutch-started in 1st) and spun the tires all the way across 2 lanes of the 4 lane road. I parked it in a cash advance parking lot and left it there. Replaced the slave cylinder in the parking lot and while i was doing that brake fluid drained all over my head. I'll tell you sumthin, if you wash brake fluid out of your hair, it has never felt cleaner.....but the bottem of the shower turns this nasty brownish yellow color-and i thought it was clear when i poured it-or mayb i was lying in sum other stuff too. Moral of the story.................the trucks clutch still doesn't work, its still at the place, and theres a puddle of brake fluid under it, i think i have to replace the master cylinder-no funds-truck stays there for a few more weeks.

they all think there stuff is quality.

This joke does resemble most ford guys.

I searched here and have found that as of now, nobody currently ships RB30 blocks to the US, or mayb i searched wrong. But would any of the ausie members be willing to ship over sum RB30 short blocks?

seems a bit fishy to me, seeing as how its twin turbo and all, and he has no hp numbers to show for it, or even an estimate. Or the fact that, if you gonna build a race car, you have to research a bit, and last i saw an S130 wasn't a 280z, and i wasn't aware they made a 280z in 79'-thats a 280zx. If the title is clear, how come he couldn't read that it said 280zx not 280z?

I agree that most accidents are your own fault, such as when i wrecked the ZX, i was being really stupid, and i had to turn around, so i pulled into my schools parking lot to turn around, and GUNNED it, not smart, it was rainy, and the ZX isn't the best handleing car out there, well, i went sideways at about 70mph only to hit a curb, got out and there wasn't a scratch on the car, drove away, then 500 ft later, the wheel fell off-I will tell you sumthin, THAT WAS STUPID, end of story. But i was told by Mike and Jim when i was at the shindig, DO NOT STREET RACE. If you want to race, take it to the track, its safe, and legal. I have yet to goto the track, but as soon as a get a chance, u can bet you'll see me there all the time.

Well, i went to check out UNO this weekend(University of Northwestern Ohio) its located in Lima, OH. And i was very amazed at the school itself, i got accepted a few weeks ago and went this weekend for the open house. They have a huge building for the high performance class that i'll b taking, the building has just been finished and i was in the first tour group to check it out, and i was very impressed. Behing the Hi-Po building they had an offroad course in the making-they are making a rock and dirt course for jeeps and trucks. They also have a certified Sprint car track, that is actually used in the Sprint circuit, and this is on campus. http://limaland.com/ I wish i had brought a camera with me when i went, but i forgot to bring one. I did manage to snap a picture while i was around town, i saw this shop that had sum old muscle cars and imports. Well, i saw an 86' 442, 2 69' 442s, a 69' camaro SS, a YENKO nova, a nicely done eclipse and sum 300zxtt's. But theres one car that really caught my eye. And my mom took my picture with it with her camera phone, check it out.

Has anybody see an article in the past few months in Popular Mechanics that had a kid with a gokart in it. Well for those of you who haven't seen it, it has a 1989(i think) kawasaki 750 engine with aftermarket carbs and everything, thats pushing about 80hp at the wheels in his GOKART. I saw this gokart tnite, and WOW, it was the first thing he ever welded and this is very impressive, it sounds evil too. Has anybody else heard about this?

theres no way i look that much like my mom.

awesome.

I do like the interior in the car with paint spattered all over it, it adds a really cool effect, mayb on the next Z, i will have sumthin similar.

mike, do i still meet the requirments even though i no longer have a Z, but plan on getting a new one soon?

Did anybody see that shooting star type thing tnite? I was outside and the sky turned bright blue and i looked up and it looked like a rocket, but was way to high up to be a model rocket, and even a real rocket can't travel from one star to another within 3 seconds? Is it sum kind of natural phenomenon or is it sumthin else? It took up the whole sky, so atleast the east coast people may have seen it, it was about 9:15 and it was straight up in the sky

i would b interested, but im not sure if i meet the requirments

i'll keep that in mind, the reason i was wondering about SEZS is becuz then the project is already done, and i'll b able to see it in person b4 i buy it-and if im gonna b there anyway, then its not a waste of time. But if i look at an ad and go check the car out, and i go out of my way and take time off work for sumthin that is otherwise crap, then its not worth the time.

I want to buy a new Z, and thats that. And an S30 at that. I know that i can pay off everything in the next few months and have a few dollars to throw around. So it got me thinkin. I believe by SEZS that i will have enough money for a decent hybrid Z. For people who have been to a SEZS, does anybody sell any turbo Zs or any other hybrid Z's at SEZS??? I would deffinitly buy an existing hybrid and put money into it, rather then buy a junker and spend a whole lot more getting it to be solid. Do people sell hybrids there?

the exhaust cutout is a pipe that welds into your exhaust with a pipe sticking out at a 45' angle. when you push the button, it will open up that seperate pipe, wich is vented in the air. Hopefully this diagram works. Basicly when you open the valve you have a straight pipe that exits right under the passenger seat. '''Muffler ''''''l l ''''''' Cutout ''''''''''V/ ''''''''''''l l ''''''Engine Ignore the dashes, they don't help explain anything, they were just used to help center the diagram.

for one its lighter, and since it has the toyota name instead of lexus, it may b a bit cheaper to get a hold of.

didn't G-force go out of buisness or sumthing of the sort not too long ago?

i've had my fair share of engine fires-fuel leak and a tall battery arn't good, i shut the hood and BOOM. Another fuel leak, and the battery cable disconnected and reconnected and BOOM. Main harness shorted it self-bunch of melted wires and a little BOOM.....and so on, and this was all in the Z.

if you want an awesome motor, check out the engine from the new toyota sienna, i believe its the 5VZ-FE. My mom has a 2004 toyota sienna XLE AWD, and that thing hauls ***, it has 215hp and 222ft lbs, wich is enough to smoke the tires, but everytime i try it doesn't work-i'll take a turn and slam the gas, but won't spin the tires, and if you try and neutral drop it, its almost like it slips the converter becuz it won't kick at all. But it does have enough power to go from 0-60 in 8.3 seconds. Doesn't seem like alot but think, thats a 5000+pound mini-van-that is pretty damn impressive, and it will put u back in the seat a bit too, imagine that in a Z thats more then half of its weight, and a bit of bolt ons like intake, exhaust, and chip-u'd b having alot of fun.

I HATED THAT, my 280zx was notorius for that-the cold start valve gummed up and i never cared to fix it-u wanna talk about hesitation, that thing would hesitate, then miss, then miss again, then miss sum more, and finnally take off. I hated driving first thing in the morning.

if you can get it running with starter fluid that means u have spark and compression, but ur missing fuel, ur injectors are probly shot-they're known for crapping out or leaking.
