Ok, EAST COAST prices are as followed: Any "clean" rust-less 240z car as a roller is worth a min of $2500. Anyone looking for a 240z or a s30 for that matter would agree. Most of the car around here or just crap. Period. I paide $2500 for mine, non running, crack free dash and would have def paid 3k for it. Rust sucks and just be sure to really check the car over.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks Jeff, I will have to check with Brian (azcarbum) because he is selling that spoiler through his site. Not sure who makes his stuff. Trust me, David and I dealt with Paulo long ago....thats how he got the tail light surrond to start making the cf parts for a 240.

I just added dex cool back to my car. I used it for 2 yrs. 8k miles, few tracks days and no problems. I have seen the negative comments on it but also there are good ones. I don't really have an answer besides...it worked for me...so far

Have been reading a lot of intake threads to see where I am and the direction I want to go in. I am going to calculate how much the head can flow, which will just be a raw number and a not real world number. From there I can do a flow vs cost sheet and see where my money would be best spent. Also trying to keep in mind the turbo I am going to use and hit near my hp goal.

I enjoyed reading this thread today and was wondering if there was any updates on this? I am looking for a good intake match for my ported p90 head. I will do some calculations to see what flow numbers I need tp make the HP level I am aiming for. I am a newb when it comes to putting flow numbers, cam lift and exhaust flow numbers together to see what makes sense. I am thinking right now, ported 75 non egr intake will be my best bet. My setup is a 3.0 short block and a very well prepped p90 head. Thanks for any updates.

Nop updates yet, I am looking for a home for my v8 car so I can get started on the L6 car. Hopefully in another month or so there will be an update.

If you can afford/have the time....get a whole parts car. There are a few threads on why...if not I can explain in person.

I hear ya! There will be three Z cars leaving in Westwood in the am.

If you are around tomorrow in the AM let me know. We are heading to the CT event and maybe you can get a rid out there. Yes those are CCW. Still going for the lsx? =)

You have a pick of the style you have? Thanks

It will buff right out! Just need a weekend...lol

Sweet! So I know where I will be next week.

Shady answer, floor plates. Are the floor plates normally double the size of the tab which the roll cage connects to the floor. Sorry for the questions but I never seen a cage come through the floor of a car!

WOW, I didn't even see that. They must have 240z floor pans. John, no trying to put you on the spot here......but true race shops that build "track prep" cars....what would you reinforce the floor with so that doesn't happen or do you just go with a completely different style cage? Kinda scary when you look at it guys, I am thinking our bolt in cages from MSA would do the same exact thing if flipped. ????

I am guessing the people lived? Kinda stupid if you read what was said, "building a track car that can be street legal". No cage? My street car that I took to HPDE did once upon a time have a cage but like MIKELLY said once....not safe for a driver. I use to hit my head on the cage just getting in and out, couldn't imagine what it would feel like in a crash. Hope the two people were ok.

You are correct. I am 100% sure I want one of the sets just about a month off. Got to go visit grandma in Fl and take the gf to fl. Spent too much time on the Z! =) You near Orlando?

Derek, I am guessing after these two....you are done making them?

Mikedc, lets find you a Z Owen move north!!

Is his number still posted? I think it went away when the threads got removed.

Wheelman you are 1000% correct. I will have to treat it all as a business. I am well aware but no first hand dealing yet of the time it takes when getting into real estate. Some people that I know say stick with commercial- less head aches, you can kick people out when rent isn't paid unlike res that takes months and much more. If I was to get into a multi-fam situation I am thinking 4-8 famiy will be worth the time and the return will be more. Down payment - cash is king.....correct. What is done is done. Some people said I should have not paid down my student loan and used the $40k to buy property others say pay it all off first then look. I am patiently looking to find that "deal" and during this time it gives me a chance to save more money. 20% down payment for me isn't going to happen if I leave me folks home. Avg single family home prices are about $425 and up and commercial even higher. Like you said, I will/am trying to do this without putting myself into trouble and don't want any property taking away from my income. Location, location, location is key! I try to read as much as possible and ask as many questions from anyone to try and be ahead. Everyone is trying to make money and everyone tries to sell you a dream. So thanks wheelman for taking the time out for posting yout replys.

Hey I don't think that was the right thing to say even if you were joking about it. If someone new comes around and doesn't know any better.... NO ONE here has the right to get on their case....period. I think Paul did the right thing by posting the theard about the entire situation that took place. Asking shadow not to post anymore on the subject matter because of the situation that took place and please contact Justin via email would be more welcoming than get over it and quit posting about it. Def not the way I expect HBZ admins to handle a member here.

Nope, 25 and still @ home.

Glad you like it out there.....now I can look for parts out by you! lol

Few months short of a year of posting this, I am happy to say.....I am $6k away from finish paying off my school loans($40k). In the past year I have still watched the prices of homes and buildings come down in the area. Just wondering if anyone in the past year has made any moves into the market or even out of it. I plan to really start getting out there again because I would like my first place to be a multi family place. I am thinking of living in the basement apt and renting out the rest if I can get a two to three family....of course with space for the cars I am also looking at commercial places with decent returns. The down payments are a killer but looking at options around it. Any new info would be great and I plan to keep this thread active enough so guys my age or younger can learn something from it and the older or more experience people can teach us!
