  1. Respiratory Therapist at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles. Very rewarding and absolutely appreciate my job.
  2. black S30 on a lift in the movie "The Postman" starring Kevin Costner during his cigarette find scene.
  3. I agree with Bryan(525) with the SE-R. You can even find an older Infiniti G20with that price range with a manual transmission. Reliable and fun to drive with great handling.
  4. I was watching the news this morning and I could swear I heard the them say it happened on Decker Canyon Rd and not PCH as mentioned in above link. Either way, it was an unfortunate event. Glad nobody was seriously hurt.
  5. brian, congrats with the sell and im sorry for the loss. I'll never forget the time you gave me a ride in your Z. First turbo Z car i've been in and was sold after that! Mark
  6. I just saw, an hour ago, a replica of Ferrari GTO(red) with Texas license plate, I'm not sure if its a 240Z/260Z/280Z but I'm positive its an S30. It was parked at a Holiday Inn hotel parking lot at Santa Monica, CA next to the 405 freeway. Too bad I didnt have my camera at the time with me.
  7. great find! i like the simple clean appearance. One question, is the hood customized or is that a scarab style hood? Reason being, when i purchased my 240Z, it came with the same exact louvered hood as yours.
  8. Bryan, I just ordered magnecor wires from http://www.cyberauto.com. I paid about $85 shipped. Mark
  9. I just drove the car tonight to take a friend for a spin. Initial problem was it would idle low and feels like it wants to stall during idle even when the car is hot(180 degrees). Haven't adjusted anything or replaced anything prior to this test run. Anyway, I basically ran the car hard from dead stop from 1st gear to 4th couple of times to show my friend what my car is all about, I have never ran my car so hard and oddly, it's boosting 8-9lbs but never really adjusted the boost since I dont have a boost controller yet(only 3" mandrel bend exhaust). So parking the car and letting it idle for a minute for a cool down, I noticed that the car is idling PERFECTLY at 20Hg on Vacuum(it was 9-10 before). So I waited for a minute and it just idled perfectly. I am excited. I'm thinking it was my injectors that was causing the poor idle and they cleared up when I drove the car really hard? Or the throttle blade/body? Any ideas and thoughts about this 'revelation'?
  10. Will definitely try to fiddle with the screw under the TB and hope for the better. thanks!
  11. Magnum, I was wondering if you have resolved your current low idle problem. I do have the same problem on my 81 turbo motor and have been looking for any vacuum leak but havent really found any but considering my bad mileage(15-17 mpg on stock boost), i assumed I have a leak. Vinh, A friend of mine also suggested the same adjustment but have been procrastinating as schedule permits me from fixing the Z. Appreciate your help guys
