Was afraid of it had something to do with the chain.....I was hoping to avoid taking off the front cover.....damn! ...PLASTIC!!! Ive only taken one KAe apart and dont recall what the guide looked like. Are you thinking the tension guide?? I must have the old good ones somewhere.....LOL Thanx

I removed the oil pan from a KA24e and found this inside it>>>>WTF? Any body have a clue...black plastic bits. I have no clue..... Excuse the crapy phone pics.

lol

Congrats! Welcome to the Z world...I too have a 71. IM sure you will love it! I suggest you start browsing the subforums and check ou members rides. After a while you will build a vision of your perfect Z.... then go back and use that nasty Search function to learn all about the details. Then come back and ask the same question. Its way to early right now pick a path so drive the car , get to know it , have fun and then decide. Now .........come on, lets see it!!

Sorry to hear about the injury....bummer!

I love Grassroots! Its about the only magazine I read cover to cover.....multiple time!!

No probs.....I have the marker lights. $20 plus ship

I didnt say Im selling one of anything. "Im parting one as well." A S13..... If you cant get what you need from "JDM" let me know and I will try to help you. OK??

Im parting one as well....if "JDM" is missing anything....... let me know.

And just for you Tony....these are shiny(er) ....

I have seen the parts for the first 10 production sets and am thrilled!! Way better than my prototype. A group buy will be posted very soon so stayed tuned. Due to the level of interest I have ordered another 20 sets so there will not be a shortage! Now for you 280Z folk....If I build will you come? Oh ya...the J-bolts are not available, but I am looking for options.

Nice...hows the underbody?

LOL.......here you go. Took the picture on my phone, no reason to be more graphic than necessary. Overnight my other toes also turned bluish as well as a funny line...bruise down one side of my foot.

Its gotta be pretty big and heavy to squash steel toed shoes. I visit customers that not only insist on steel toed shoes but also require deflectors for the top of the foot. They believe this aspect of foot protection is more critical. Hey...go to the steel mills and they insist you wear hard hats. Why? If anything falls on you in a mill the hat sure as hell isnt going to stop it. but it will mark the spot! Give that one to myth busters.....lol.

Yes ...correct. Had the same discussion with my wife last night. In this case....they would have helped for sure! Its really not so bad....the toe is black and blue, foot is slightly off colour and swollen and I can get around just fine. Just tough getting any foot wear on.

This is a continuation of this previous thread http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=1029799#post1029799 . After my fun but disapointing day at Mosport I realized that I need to be a tad more serious with my SX track project and use more thought in assembling my engine to prevent another melt down....... while building more ponies. This will happen in two stages..... Stage one........ will be to replace the spent KA24e motor with one from a parts car I picked up yesterday (for $300) without any internal changes. Retain the Z31 turbo, increase injector flow, and complete the emanage install....and removal of the lower intake manifold butterflies This season..ASAP ...so I can have more fun. Stage two..... will involve a fresh KA24e build with CP pistons, new rods, a FMI and new exhaust and a different MAF...and the transfer of anything else from stage 1 that is applicable. Basically "perfect" and finish the KA24e single cam turbo builld to 225 - 250RWHP+..... over winter. All comments and suggestions along the way are always welcome!!!!.

Pretty good guess!

So I was helping a friend move his fabrication shop today and had an accident. A 6 inch OD by 7 inch high piece of steel rolled of a shelf. Everyone tried to warn me and I did manage to dance more or less out of the way but it nailed me anyway on my little toe. After I completed the second act of my dance I was surprised how light that piece of steel was....to learn it was titanium. Thank goodness I danced and titanium is so much lighter than steel. Anyway...it didnt break my foot just my one toe.....its all sorts of tones of blues, yellows and purples! and just a tade swollen! LOL Anyway...I got through the day by lacing me sneakers nice and tight and eating Aleve. Lesson learned, should have worn safety shoes!

Hey......watch it buddy, your hitting a nerve! I have a sx project that I have shared with Hybridz. drifts14, I recommend you close this post and take it to this subforum..... http://forums.hybridz.org/forumdisplay.php?f=128 ..the heat will go away.
