the Z guy

some guy on this site took a picture of that great looking z...i think he said it wasnt his...but he did a photoshop thing on that car with a hole bunch of colors it was pretty cool well i like the wheels and hate my stock 14's

i live in the dominca republic of california....my 76 280z blows some oil in the exhaust is it gonna pass smog? a ball park figure ? i think its blow by smoke...please help, and what is this i heard about putting methanol or alcohol about a gallon in a half tank and the car running super clean? (smog reasons clean) well let me know thanx a lot, Michael

hi, i just bought my second z its a 76 280 2+2.. my other z has a chevy in it so its not "real z" some may think...but anyway it has from what i know 32,000 miles but there is know way of telling i looked it up in the dmv recordes and its seems correct but lets assume for now 132,000.. well it smokes a little at just above idle(which by the way is just over 1000rpm. is this correct? i know how to adjust it but it seems like 700rpm is too low almost sounds like its gonna die at 700 ) what is it cause i have no clue.. is it blow by? it has a little lifter tappet click which oil could mabey coming outta that exhaust valve ? does anyone know if it will pass smog in ca? with it burning a little oil? please let me know..and what else should i look at in this recently aquired car ? and the past owner plugged up the z circulation holes (the ones behind the little second window)...how do i access these from the back? thanks a lot!!!!

i might be interested i would like to see pics. and i dont need engine and trans so....dunno email me plentpak@aol.com

Ok i havent been posting for a while now and most of you guys probably dont remember my story. So i'll tell you. my dad started building a 78' 280z about 15 years ago... he put a high dollar 350 chevy four bolt in it (around 350 h.p.) and 350 turbohydromatic:classic: well he finished everything except putting the a.c. compressor in and the rest of the exhaust behind the headers. The car has sat for the last 15 years outside. im in and the car are in southern ca. so the rust isnt that bad. i plan to take the motor and trans out and put it in a pre smog 240 and use the two cars to build one. so if anyone has a 70'-74' z with not too much rust and no motor or trans let me make an offer or we can trade. if the car has motor and trans that is okay i can pull it and sell it to someone whois in desperate need of that. i will mostlikely have parts so ill tell you guys what i have or you can ask. the guy who actually has the 78 in his driveway said that in the car are new datsun parts for the car in boxes from 15 years ago i am taking delivery of this car hopefully within the next week. please e mail me with any helpfull information. thanks. Michael plentpak@aol.com

besides the great l block screaming sound, i just have to put my foot in it when metalica cd's are in they are the greatest band...also another band that does it for me is fear factory... ramstein is cool but its a little too beaty for me... du haust

the ford 5.0 has a distinctive sound....this is what was in the fox body mustang...i dont know y they sound so distinctive but ...i agree w/ u the late model 4thgen. f bodys do sound like the 5.slow

e mail me w/ pics or tell me condition

well this is exctally what i need i have a 76 2+2 that my dad started to build 10-15 yrs. ago. im in ca. and so there all all these smog laws and well...my prob is that the 2+2 has a chevy stuffed in it so i need a pre smog z to swap everything...... im 16 and this will be my first car... i dont want to have to gut the pre smog z because it would break my heart so this is perfect....im not an e bay member:( so if any1 has what i need let me know i have read the forum bodie snatchers and that has helped me ...so any 1 got a "wrecked" z i could buy? thanks:cheeky:

IM THE YOUNGEST haha 05-06-86 im 16... my dad has owned 5 z cars. ever since he built the 75 or 76 z (i dont remember the year)with a chevy in it i have been soo intrigued by the z it is such a cool car the way it was designed .....soo great i love to learn things about them and its my life. currently i just graduated from a paint and auto body class where there was a 71 240 that we painted.it was great
