Rustyfriend Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 good news today guys. i went to a local yard because i thought i saw a wrecked z32. ends up there was not one but i did see a grand am that i wanted the spoiler off of for my other car. i went to the office and then asked if they ever get any datuns. ends up a few years back he went to pick up some "mercedes" parts and they ended up being datsun parts. he told me they were at the other shop down the road under a trailer. he told me $25 for everything that was there. I ended up getting 2 rear quarter panels for a coupe, front right fender, pair of headlight buckets, bent hood, hatch with broken glass, a rear bumper, 240z front bumper, and a second 240z front bumper in MINT condition, 2 complete sets of tail lights for a 280zx i believe, and one motorized headlight setup for an early 300zx? and a pair of some odd bucket/scoops that i guess go under a stock front bumper if only the rear quarters were for a 2+2.....mine are rusted a lil and these puppies are nearly mint. i am already in the process of putting on a new fender and headlight bucket on the right side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not trying to be smart but was this a Question? or just a statement? Do you have any dash lights gauge movement? etc have you checked the fusible links under the hood? A bit more detail would help with a diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Be sure to clean the terminals, it can be as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEvilrps13 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 sorry about the random venting post. i ended up goiNg back out in the cold, and found that they sent me a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ junk battery from the parts store, and by junk i mean i tested it with my multimeter and it was pushing .04 DC volts. got a new battery, tested it before i put it in, i got 12.76v out of it. put it in the car, realized i lost the keys to it.....which doesnt matter cause it starts with a screwdriver. so yeah i finally drove it around the lot last night, and while i didnt get out of 1st gear, that thing has got some boogie to it for only being rated @ 170hp..... now i gotta get the lights working and register it. any suggestions on a vanity plate? my 240sx has MADMAX1.....

Challenger Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 135 whp. I was going to say to check if the batteries any good but it sounded kind of dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEvilrps13 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 135 whp. I was going to say to check if the batteries any good but it sounded kind of dumb. yeah i figured since the crank rated hp was 170, the whp would be around 130-140ish. i think its funny how there's a sticker in the engine bay with the crank rated hp on it......

280Z Turbo Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Here's a pic of my new license plate. It's from my dad's '63 Corvette. Michigan allows you to run a historical plate on an old car for a one time fee of $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PresaMax Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 With the help of Derek (aka Challenger) I was able to finally post some pics of my '78 280Z 2+2. Still a work in progress. I finally welded up the moulding holes on the body and the rear section below the lights (shaved rear-end). I hope to get it painted next month.

Julius Hi Julius, looks sweet, what color are you going to use? The present color looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PresaMax Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks EvilChuckie. I would like a darker blue like Nissan's "San Marino Blue." I live in CA (smog laws) and since its a '78 I going to keep this my daily driver. I have a '71 rolling chassis that I'm building up that's going to be a screamer.
