Why not just a piece of pipe? excuse my ignorance edit: is the answer found in the exhaust length debate thread?

I thought you were trying to sell that at one point?

So they don't want to put together the exhaust after the downpipe? what a bunch of wussies.

Search ratsun. There has to be someone there who has, or at least someone who can direct you.

Did he build it in his garage with no knowledge or experience? or did he have it assembled at a shop. Because I had my f54/e88 long block assembled at a shop and I did not bend a valve in 5 hours.

I loved the way my 260z felt with tokico illuminas and tokico springs. I had small sticky tires (205/50/15) so it also sat pretty low, which probably made a big difference as well. It was very aggressive and very streetable in the roads of downtown Los Angeles. If its will see the track occasionally, I would go springs/struts. If I was more dedicated to the track, as in an extra set of track wheels with slicks or something, I would get the coilovers.

psh, drop in an SR and have a sleeper

Do it. Sweet little car.

Manifold heat shield is defiantly helpful. You could be boiling your gas and not even know it. Are you saying it has the stock exhaust manifold? Ever figure out the problem?

Stupid question but did you drain the tank before you parked it? Any lose wires, are you getting good spark (test with a screwdriver). What is old and what is new? It wouldn't hurt to put on a new cap and rotor anyway, its like $15

It will feel slow(er) than it is from the lower compression and the P90 cam. I believe the P90 cam isn't that aggressive. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm Get the head gasket to match the block Also don't buy from him, supposedly he sells not the best parts. Find one in a junkyard, or buy one from a member and bring it to a machine shop. This guy bought a block from him and found dirt and overspray http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/105900-the-stroker-chronicles/

Viper GTS blue, it was a special at Earl Scheib. Looks good for $500

I'm pretty sure both those are a luguna seca blue. Time for my shameless picture dump: I really miss this car

That is one super clean rhd civic.... I mean nice Z too It really is a damn good example.

I know applydmynd had one. PM him. I remember him saying his body guy just gut out the area and either grafted it in, or cut out little tabs to bolt it in.

thezstore.com might have them. I know I went with their slotted rotors and PBR pads, but I had an early 280zx. edit: Well they have the performance stuff http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/PBC06 http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/PBC01 and the stock rotors: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/SBC02

Why dont you have a cam with that combo? On cast pistons I had my hi6 set at 7200rpm. And I wish I had forged pistons because I might have been able to pull more, if my dizzy was up to it.

Yes it is, and honestly all the carpet/tar/panels weighed about 30-40lbs in my 280zx. For comparison my ac system from the firewall forward weighed 60lbs. You can get the clean engine bay with a slim battery.

It just means its somewhere on this site. There is no archive page exactly, although the FAQ section does have old posts that cover many basic questions.

I just used fuel line from autozone, cut to length.

He should totally just weld his and drift his ZX

I hate arduino's. Way to slow, but for most applications and shields that offer they work great.

On a flat does it get stuck at 3-4k? and is it only in 4th? How long have you been DD it/ has it sat? Oil is not likely unless you are really using the wrong type of oil, something super thick. I'm assuming you put in 20-50w When I got my friends car running he bought brand new injectors. Put them on and it ran fine for 2 weeks, then it started sucking hard core. The gas tank literally had gel in it from gas that was more than 6 yrs old. We didn't think much of this because the PO said it was empty, so we had to put 5 gal in it anyway. The get somehow made it to the injectors, and they needed to be cleaned. The flow was horrible, like 110 per injector and one was actually clogged. Everything had to be redone in the fuel system. I haven't followed all your posts so I can't really say. Also doesn't sound like your other gears are going( yet) since its not "rocky" as you put it.

What were the conditions you bought it under? like was it sitting for a while, was it daily etc... People are jumping ot the conclusion that its rust in the gas tank( which it more than likely is, regardess of how it was being driven) but you also stated that it had the ZX dizzy, so the PO could have done some poo wiring that could have been near something hot or moving that burned/chewed it up. It could be highly probably that he just wired up the dizzy wrong, and now something else in the wiring burned up as well. Also if you had mentioned that it has the flattop carbs( which you imply when you say its all stock) I'm amazed someone didn't just say throw those carbs out. Just playing devils advocate.

Take the alternator out and have AutoZone test it. Power steering fluid is pretty bad stuff I, so I wouldn't be surprised.
