Does'nt matter if he can back it up with a timeslip. You can back it up with a good timeslip, right Mike?

[Guest ON3GO]

Well if you don't then they way my car has been going I will. I just drove it for 2 hrs on some nice backroads with nothing breaking. I did find out though something was already broken I just never noticed. My brake booster is not working up to par so thats why my brakes are on par with the flinestone era brakes. Junk yard here I come.

Car is fixed, running awesome, headed to FL!

 

 

Smoking STI's on 7 psi is fun!!

i think there could be a little friendly wagering going on for fastest representation of h-town presuming all person's stated attend.

 

i'll contend that i'll be the fastest Z from h-town by no less than .2 in the 1/4 presuming i slap the car together in time.

 

my fears... mikes slicks... and teds having a 2 week shake down head start minimum on us.

[Guest 73Turbo240z]

 

got a ways to go... current need to do:

- Find 3.5" v-band clamp, v-band flange, and 90* or better bends...

- Find 440+ cc injectors (6) that will work w/ megasquirt, debating low imp or high, don't wanna burn my box up

- Get said injectors so i can finish installing my fuel rail

- Acquire and install all needed MSnS sensors onto a block i've never seen assembled in it's entirety

- Install motor mounts/coolant inlet/outlet

 

and that's just to get the damn motor ready to go in, not counting the other stuff. and then theres still the fact i'm wearing a decrepit old R180 that has a snowballs chance in _____ of living through this motor.

[Guest 73Turbo240z]

cool, my old volvo contacts paid off... scored a set of third gen supra turbo injectors w/ pig tails... and he's in arizona, so they should arrive pretty quickly.

[Guest ON3GO]

got a good diff today.

got a all new rebuilt never used 280zx n/a 5-speed today

got a few other parts too.

 

still have a bad turbo and everything else

 

mike

[Nismo280zEd]

you may have a blown turbo but alteast you dont' have a sheared stud off your wheel spacer preventing you from even drivn' the damn car.

 

--I swear.... it never just breaks, It falls apart.

 

Well back to painting.

[Guest ON3GO]
