ktm Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Completely disassembled my wipers, sanded the shafts, rebuilt/regreased the linkage, converted to a Honda wiper motor, and rewired the wipers after ditching the wipers, delay unit, etc. years ago. They now work as good as any modern cars wipers, or at least as good as the 1996 Accord where I sourced the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Added a quart of oil. Again. This thing drinks oil, I need to fix that. I also checked all 6 plugs (fouled), cleaned them up, adjusted the timing, and now she runs and pulls harder than ever. It's still slow as all hell because it's a 2.4, but it runs a lot smoother.

gogriz91 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Washed it, it started on the second try and took my 8 yr old daughter for a spin, I've been out of the country for the past two months and it was really good to be back behind the wheel again.

Onion Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Filled it up again. Also made a Lexus SC300 feel inferior at a red light just by sitting there and idling. He felt the urge to show off so he just took off when it turned green. Edited October 8, 2013 by Onion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddydonuts Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Tricked my wife into cleaning up the garage where I work on my Z and found a local machine shop to take my block to get it cleaned, refreshed w/new rings and bearings. Hopefully by summer I can be driving it again...not looking forward to converting the L28ET harness to work in my 73!!!!! Everything else on the turbo swap I can complete at my level of wrenching.

Onion Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Fixed it! I started tuning my Holley over the weekend, and a gasket went bad, causing it to pour fuel onto my headers. They came in the mail today, and I retuned the idle mixture and floats, and now she screams louder than ever! Such a hassle for a minuscule gasket, but at least it's fixed.

wickiewicked240z Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Picked up a 82 280zx turbo car for $550 at a yard sale. Question for people that have bought donor cars do guys register the car under ur name or just scrap the car after you take off the good parts and don't register.
