What ...you dont know what NICO is!!!! Arghhhhhhh! Go to www.NICO.com the site for all models NISSAN. While there look for my banner...http://www.BLAZT.BIZ HEHEHE..sorry.......

Its just you.........keep looking behind..... 79.3/liter for reg today.....91.3 for premium. I wish it would ride below 60/L for old time sake....better yet I remember $0.30/L..never mind, showing my age.

Capture the smoke and put back in the ECU. Seriously...is power going to the ECU? If so is the coming out?

Oh ya...get metric tools.

Try harder to find a running replacement engine. Do you have a flat and hard surface to lift the car up on jack stands? If not it will be tough to lift the engine out with that tranny attached. Its easier to remove both seperately. Tranny down, Engine up. Start to remove the intake and exhaust manifold... the rad (drain it first)....alternator ...starter. Bag all the bolts and label well...and keep with the parts. Remove all wires to the engine and tag. Remove the driveshaft..(drain the tranny oil first). disconnect the speedo cable from the tranny. Remove the center console...and take out the shifter. Be VERY organized. Clean up the parts if you have time or the inclination. Etc...etc...etc Oh ya....try harder to find a running engine. Its how I learned, while the book is handy, steady methodical appraoch will work best. Its the digital age so take a Khajllion (more than a billion) pictures for reference. Expect to stay VERY busy for a while. When its all done ...it will be a love hate kind of thing. Now GO , start and keep us informed! Stop wasting time.

A budy of mine completed a pro street camaro and did something like that. When he was done it looked exactly like a stock quarter panel...just way bigger. I think he called it a sectioned panel and he used 2 to build one. Takes a lot of time but it was well worth it. The guy is welding without a shield!?!

Thats pretty clear.....

I believe a G20.... .they fit in the Z but are a bit wide and high on the stock Z mounts. Look nice and comfortable. I switched to Solstice seats in the 240Z as these look close to the original Z seats.

An extra bung is already welded to the downpipe for a wideband...I just need to find a cheap one. I have a couple of used intercoolers...I still have lots of time before spring, just need to modiy them for 2.5 inch tubing. One is a small but thick compact unit that fits very well horizontaly into the front well..well ahead of the tire. I think its from a SR or perhaps a Syline...the other is a Tbird unit that would need to go up front...buts its pretty heavy. This particular tech is reliable...but I hear ya. 175 would be great....perhaps with an intercooler and some boost 200 would be possible? Thanx.

I know its not Z related but Im all worked up......Its running....my budget 89 turbo upgraded KA24e SX. Stock block with emissions removed, log manifold,Z31 turbo , arc BOV, home made down pipe, 2.5 inch home made exhaust......no engine management...no intercooler. Starts OK but needs help to keep the revs up for a minute until it warms up, then it idles perfectly at 700. Revs right to red line and backfires very little at let off. SOUNDS GREAT. The Nissan techs tell me the stock ECU is good for about 6PSI before the fuel starts to run out. I have an old emanage that I may install for some trickery and have a 92 STANZ ECU on its way that will give me OBD1 capability. I also have an old adjustable FPR that I will install for increased injector pressure/flow. All comments welcome! Sorry about the crappy pics...cell phone!

The car I pulled these seat from!

After 3 weekends of cutting, welding and fitting I finaly replaced the stock cloth 240SX seats with leather infinity seats. This is a track car used only for lapping days so hard core racing seats are not required. The passenger seat is fixed while the driver seat is on tracks...little high but I have about an inch of space between my helmet and the roof. Pretty comfy for a track car. .....what do ya think? One question....the drivers seat is bolted to the floor...how thick and what size should I place below the floor to prevent the bolts from tearing through in case of a mishap?

Stoney...not to be the bearer of bad news...but..there are thousands more where that little bastard came from! Cool vid.

Sounds freakin great.

This situation is like mine when I bought me first Z.... 27 years ago. ( that hurts) I knew nothing...get ready to ride the learning curve. You need to pop the head off in order to determine the exact problem. And no...you dont go out and buy 1 valve...I guess you can ....but normal procedure is a head rebuild. If one valve is shot ...good chance other will go as well.

I like it a lot! Wish a has the spare cash.

Perhaps commucincation could have been better.

Just keep saying.....I love this hobby, I love this hobby...I love this hobby, I love this hobby...I LOVE THIS HOBBY...Yes I DO ...I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!!!! F__K ya its a lot of FUN!!!!!

Its freakin huge....not a S13!

Keep your chin up and stay positive. We all go through rough times and the best thing is to look at the bright side...you have your health...you have a job.....you have a Z....you have Walmart....its not all bad. Keep venting!!

I believe its a Rabbit

I found this on ebay.....seems like a decent string setup. I asked him to explian how to parallel the strings to the centerline of the car. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/String-Toe-Gauge-Wheel-Alignment-Tool_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742Q2em153Q2el1262QQcategoryZ43989QQihZ004QQitemZ140203017977#ShippingPayment

Did you get it? Im having the same dilema...fasttrax or smart camber:icon5: I need it for my Z and SX.....as both have adjustable suspension components and I would prefer to buy the tools once rather than pay to have someone do it for me..... I like the idea of digital vs bubble....?? edit..... then I found this.. http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/lr_78295.htm edit 2...and now tis econo version http://www.speedwaymotors.com/ECONOMY-CASTER-and-CAMBER-GAUGE,2699.html

Im not real warm and fuzzy on the lift version. I would never remove the hoist! On the pivot version why not extend and beef up the top portion of the pivot plates to create a built in stop. When the stop contacts the ground your done. That way you dont need that center 2x4 and there is no worry about over pivoting. goldfish.....its cheaper alternative. wood and bolts vs Two stands + the extra bracing steel. This is a very econo alternative, not as convienent as a true rotissory but if your project doesnt require a lot of work then why spend the money. not perfect but a cool idea. Plans saved to hard drive! Thanks for sharing.

NOPE....24 cents less!
