  1. OKAY...a garage with a basement. BIG DEAL! Its rather nice but I dont get all the excitment. How do you get the engine and tranny down there for a rebuild?

     

    Unless you plan on living out there......?

     

    Now if it had PhantomPark......!

  2. As near as I can tell ....its a mock turbo interooler. Once he replaces his facia it will look like he has a turbo becuase you can see the intercooler through the grill.

     

    All he needs now is one of those thingies that attach to the exhaust and makes a turbo sound!!!.....and a playing card and clothes peg for his rear left wheel............................................

     

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

  3. I asked the seller a question about the hardware and he seems a bit dense! Short and rude response...I had to ask another question and he still didnt take the time to respond properly. I cant confirm what hardware is missing and he is answering in two words.

     

    On another note I checked his selling history and he has sold one other set...he may have more?

     

    But I dont get the warm and fuzzy based on his replies.

  4. I saw one at a show...it was no big deal. nicely done but I have seen a lot better by individuals. There were a number of parts that were unavailable so NISSAN just fit aftermarket parts on...like the seat belts.

     

    I actually have a line for the interior door panel that I have been selling. Beautiful reproductions of the original 240Z pieces.

     

    I have 4 sets left......$550 for the pair...delivered.

  5. I dont like white gauges but that dash cover is fantastic!!!! Now that its been done a few times I wish someone would come up with a pattern for the rest of us ....or even a finished product to buy. I would buy a 240 version right away....in leather!

     

    Anyone game to make a few bucks?

     

    Now you need to create one for the consol!

     

    Again...great work!

  6. I think the idea is excellent but I doubt Id go with the carbs. Throttle bodies are the way to go. FI is much easier to tune, a lot more efficient and will make a smoother ride.

     

    Oh ya, if you insist on carbs...go mukuni! IMO I found them way easier to tune than that other brand.

     

    Saying that..the reason I went turbo/FI is because I wanted to learn something new....and I was tired of playing with carbs.

  7. Nice collection of pics. Just shows that the japan auto scene is as diverse as ours. Race cars muscle cars, rods, and even a few low riders. All great cars.

     

    The one thing I have a hard time with is the Pantera style hatch on the Z cars. Never was fond of it and never will be.

     

    Hey did you see that Challenger....all jacked up inthe rear! :lmao:

  8. The first engine I ever built was a 3.1L 11.5:1 L6. What a fun way to go...instant response, tons of torque. Loved it!

     

    But alas.....fuel was always a pain and I was retarding the ignition more days than not. Its wasnt worth the frustration and I ended up putting in a 2mm head gasket. Maybe an option for you as well?

  9. You may not even need the entire harness ....but perhaps just a dash harness? Take it apart and look for the problems....New OEM harnesses or a decent used ones are available. Ive seen harness sections on ebay many times.

    No point in having someone charge you lots of money to make a new one.

    There are many available....In fact I have a very nice 280Z harness, just not sure what year??

     

    Bottom line....if your a Z owner learn to do repairs yourself. You will be surprised how easy it is......and fun.
