  1. Here is the link at hybridz.org. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/47525-how-to-mount-them-there-zg-flares/ I am in the process of doing this installation. I would recommend to search the web for as many pictures as possible to get the correct location for the flares. You will noticed not all are the same. Take your time and cut once!
  2. I have had good luck with ebay selling and buying. I have also had a dead beat bidder but I went through the proper ebay process so the situation you are in didn't happen. If a buyer does not pay then you have to report him and ebay does have a waiting period that has to go by before you can relist the item. Basically ebay notifies the buyer and if that buyer doesn't come through with a payment then you can relist and the original buyer wil get a strike against him/her. Too many strikes means you will get banned by ebay. The good thing though is the relisting is free. Always go through the proper processes if you have any issues.
  3. No different if you know how to weld.
  4. What makes a '72 E88 worth anything? Just asking because I have one laying on my shelf acting like a large paper weight. I never tried to sell it because I didn't think it was worth anything.
  5. Yeah JB weld is just a short term fix. That is a side of the road kind of fix. You should get the tank welded properly by a shop.

    I believe POR 15 can be painted directly over rust. That is the point of it. As long as you use their three step process of Marine clean, Metal ready, then the POR 15 paint you should be all set.
  7. I am in for one Thought make it for a 260Z please

    If you are trying to keep everything 100% original then I would try to restore your originals either by yourself or by a professional. I am sure that has to be someone in the states that does that kind of work. It may cost a few bucks but in the end I think it will be worth it.

    If your considering carbon fiver then sell the air dam you have and go out and purchase a carbon fiber air dam. Too me carbon fiber wraps are cheesy.

    I can't believe his reserve was set higher than $10k. If I were the seller I would have removed the reserve the minute it hit $10K. That is a good amount of money considering how much work will be needed. But seriously what a crappy job on advertising the car. The description was fine but needed to add more pictures.
  11. I have mikunis using a F.E.T. (Far East Trading Co.) intake manifold which is very short compared to most other intakes. I have at least 6" in between the air filters and strut tower.
  12. Any news yet? thought I would give free bump also
  13. ha ha added benefits!! maybe some rebound??
  14. Thanks I have money sitting in paypal for you if you have the door panels, glovebox, and hatch area trim peices...
  15. Curious if you have any black interior trim pieces for a 260Z or 280Z including door panels, arm rests, th inside part of the glove box (i have the door already) and the plastic trim panels that cover the shock towers. Are they vinyl or plastic? I am not sure because my current car has a welded in roll cage that I am going to remove. I literally have no trunk space with that damn thing. This is what I am dealing with. I will be cutting the cage out and installing the trim pieces.
  16. ^I have a late 260Z that I am installing 240Z fiberglass bumpers (sold chrome ones) and I have an msa air dam for a 240Z with the turn signals below the bumper. Hopefully I will have some pictures in a few months after the install of my flares.

    I just replaced Su HD8 carbs on my L28 equiped 260Z. Here is a quick video of the last time it ran before removing them. I know they are different than the HS6 but still an SU carb and not hitachi style. This is what is breathing under the hood now.....

    I watched that episode last night too,,,I even had to rewind to get a second look. It was most likely a 70 or 71 Series I. And the other was def. a 280ZX.

    This company has decent prices. You can by just the individual parts or entire kits. http://silverminemotors.com/240z-260z-and-280z-Brake-Kits_c12.htm
  20. So late 260Z is different from a 280Z? My fuse panel only uses 10A and 20A fuses.
  21. I think it is pretty amazing how just in the last 10 years cars have stayed pretty much the same price or have gotten cheaper. I own a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE that my parents purchased brand new. I still have the window sticker and the MSRP for a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE was a tad over $30,000. You can get a really nice car today with a MSRP of $30K today compared to my car.

    I have been working on the car here and there. It is hard to get down to the garage when my 10 month old is tearing up the house. i stripped the engine bay to get it ready for paint. Next I will be replacing the floor pans with zedd findings replacement pans I bought from a member here (thanks). I will have some pictures to foloow soon.

    you really don't like it? I think that show is pretty good. It is fun to watch because you get to see all different cars. I sure as hell think it is a lot better than pinks. That show is so stupid. I can't stand the host, he thinks he is the almighty man of drag racing. I only like to watch Pinks All Out. What I really miss about Speed is rally racing. /rant sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread...

    Good news....I have 4 good pieces. There were three good clips on the center valance so I brought them into work today and sandblasted them so they all looked the same. I dropped them in the mail at lunch time. I would think you will get them by next week sometime.
