My buddy's shop teacher in highschool told him that a vw case will burn for three days under water...

as far as the love of the game goes, there really are unlimited options for a motor for your z. personally, i love the idea of a 6 cyl turbo diesel cummins in a 240 as a drag machine (wouldn't much be able to see over the hood, but the sucker'll fit) however, as far as practicality goes (hah), I only see two options for my car: l28et, or ls1. l28et (the turbo l28 motor) is just so damned easy to swap in, and once it's there, for $15 you can get a manual boost controller, and just dial-a-horse. the ls1 is more complicated, and once it's in, it's in, and there aren't a whole hell of a lot easy ways to get more power (this is true between any naturally aspirated motor vs any forced induction motor). Maybe the romantic in me just loves the idea of a cheap power gain. "sorry, girl, all i can afford is this brass piece of valve." and she loves it so much, she gives me a 200 horsepower gain. LOVE IT!

that's what I meant by "somethin to that maybe..." lmao, i'll drift back into the background now, and continue reading this crazy thread.

geezer, grumpy, pop, anyone ever notice the guys with the really old sounding user names hang around the v8 forum? somethin to that maybe... lol

I am actually in the future right now, using my time machine to surf the internet in the past, for "go back in time day" (december 14th). You see, "Pretend to be a time traveler day" was abolished centuries ago, after the horrid events of 120809 at KraftNabiscoDellBumbleBeeTunaPhillipMorrisMrHollandsOpusMicrosoftUSAShellTimeWarnerDisney Land... let's try not to think about that happening again... Anyhow, how quaint that you simple folk would be talking about time travel, on this, the day I travel back to read about datsuns? What year is oh dear god, i've said too much, they're bound to ***transmission ended, user terminated***

Seems like a neato piece of idea, I'd personally spend the money on other stuff, but sounds like it might work. I've sort of viewed batteries as a consumable, something to be replaced every x.

have you done any of those above mentioned mods recently? are there any water leaks in your car?

WOW! I've never seen a cat other than mine with those markings... Black, white boots, white face, with the black hitler 'stache. sorry. thread hijack, talk about upping a post count, lol

probably. why did you swap them? as a rule of thumb, never change more than one thing at a time in your fuel systemignition system. If I were you, I'd swap the old stuff back on, see if it runs right off the bat, then change your new stuff back on, one piece at a time. Bolt the stock stuff back on, start it to verify nothing else is F'd up, then put your new MAF on, see if it starts. if it doesn't, put the old back on, start it to verify nothing else is F'd up, then put your new FPR on, see if it starts. if it does, happy day. then research your MAF swap better, or make sure it's a good MAF by starting your z32 with it, or something like that.

who are you gonna have do your motor? I'm in seattle and looking for a decent shop to rebuild for me.

and get a new airdam... yuk. the bumperless part looks good, but the dam is pretty messed up. it'd look sweet with an IC in the teeth

'cept it does 11's

f54 with p90 could just be a stock l28et as well, unless i'm grossly mistaken... 200 tq, 180 hp for a stock 81 l28et

I am in the midst of finals, so I can't arrange it right now, but if you lead the way trumpet, I'll buy one for certain. turns out the one on my buddy's volvo wasn't offered by them, but http://www.turbobricks.com got them to make one.

i walk hard. i've always been known to walk hard. everywhere i go.

30 amp is probably a good guess.

bump! BUMP DAMNIT! I just looked at a cometic for my buddy's volvo, and it certainly appears to be the ♥♥♥♥. too bad this never came to fruition.

280z.dats, i hope you find a steal, and i hope our cars continue to go up in price. I paid $1300 for my 240, which I bought on a whim cause the interior is PERFECT, and the car had 98k miles on it. ( I've since put a 300k+ mile motor in it... cause it had a turbo...) But I think I got an awesome price! I'd LOVE it if these started getting more valuable.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=240z http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/car/499106475.html there's one in Portland set up to i believe run 9's, for $10,000

maybe they'll debut this at $15k for a crate, and bring the ls7 down to $7k? Anyone? No? piss off, i'm going back to the l6 forum... dream crushers.

rofle. copter.

mainly screwed up body panels and primer. I think you should not worry about putting 17's on it. more inertia. that's as far as my argument is going to go. use small rims, easier to accelerate in both directions that way.

pretty sure you could make a bandsaw work in an apt. is there linoleum in the kitchen? who needs a fridge? I label you "excuse maker Evan" lol, I like the work pipe.
