fandsw Posted August 28, 2011 Share #230 Posted August 28, 2011 Added a piece of black door edge molding to the center rib of my rear window louvers so that it won't impact the rear glass when closing the hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnvolsdj Posted August 30, 2011 Share #232 Posted August 30, 2011 I just got mine today and drove it for the 1st time. What is better than your 1st ride in your new Z? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiluj Posted August 31, 2011 Share #233 Posted August 31, 2011 Installed a timing indicator plate to replace my single pin indicator. Much easier to set the timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandsw Posted August 31, 2011 Share #234 Posted August 31, 2011 Got some Yokohama AVID enVigor 205/60HR15 mounted & balanced on some silver Rota RB 15x7 wheels. I'll put them on the Z this coming weekend. It'll be the first time for me to put her on jackstands..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorman7 Posted September 2, 2011 Share #236 Posted September 2, 2011 Raced a white 240Z today on the way to work. Saw him in my In my rear view window so I slowed to let him catch up. Guess he saw me too, so he sped up, then slowed a bit. That’s when I heard the turbo blow off valve whoosh, and I knew I was in trouble. We both gunned it and sped up a hill moving pretty quick, he was quicker but I was still fairly close when we backed off at about 80mph, approaching traffic. We rolled down the windows and he said he was running a “Skyline Motorâ€, so I guess that is an RB20DET. I’ve got a 260 motor with high compression pistons (10.5:1) 6 into 1 headers and stock carbs with SM needles and ZX dizzy. It’s peppy, but not enough to beat the RB. Made my day though! Honestly, in the over 2 years that I’ve had the yellow Z, that’s the first time I ever really pushed it against another car. Nice that is was a another Z. I really need to get LS motor installed someday:ermm:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was interested in the car and was bidding on it but then he pulled it off before the auction was over. Must have sold it locally. Very nice car and a very well-done project, using all quality parts. I bet it flies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit more focused on the exhaust sound and wheel set-up that I missed the badges. The tires were pretty wide and I think beyond the fender well. I am surprised that I had not seen it before because I typically am in that area at the same time every working day, just as I get off the freeway. Will have to keep my eyes peeled. He must work within a half mile of me as he turned left into one business park at the same place I turned right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyO Posted September 3, 2011 Share #239 Posted September 3, 2011 I sold it. Will deliver to Road America Speedway in Elkhart WI on the 17th. The new owner races for Mazda and will be there for the SCCA National Championship Runoffs. More info here: http://www.roadamerica.com/Races/RaceInformation.asp?id=247I am feeling pretty good about the person I sold to. I think he will take care of the car the way I would.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, you'll see it more now that it has a new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
