Looks good. Are you gonna paint the air dam?

260z Brake Failure - Jump, Roll & Fire
Do you think that switched would have tripped in this particular accident since he didn't hit another car or a barrier?

I have always wondered what caused that.

Well it really depends on where in California. It's a big place and covers a lot of different climate zones. Some of the high desert areas are really dry day in and day out.

Putting my '78 into hibernation for a while
In my shop, I run a Frigidaire dehumidifier 24 -7. It is set to 50% RH and has a drain hose leading outside so I never have to empty it. If it gets set any higher things start to rust and mold.

Is this critic only driving newer cars? Newer cars are much smoother between the gears.

Oil the Clock?
That is fascinating. It is amazing that such small imperfections will stop the clock.

Fuel Tank Hard Line Plugged
Cut your loses and replace the line. It will never be right if it has an significant rust in it.

Thinking about installing an BMW M6 engine in my Z
Ok I was thinking it was the same engine. A good running EFI is nice and super reliable. That's what attracts me to ITB's

Redwing, Be very careful under the car. Make sure the ramps are solid and the car is not gonna move. Set the emergency brake and block the wheels on the ground if you are unsure its not gonna move. We don't want you getting hurt before we educate you

New bushings - car seems to slide back & forth - bumps, shifting
If they put in a whole poly bushing kit, the car shouldn't be any looser. Could be a little noisier as the poly bushing are firmer and transmit more sound.

To Buy or not to Buy. That is the Question! Series 1 240Z
Well I will go at it this way. My frame man would replace a front clip for just guessing $1200 or so. Then you have to find a good clip. That seems like it would be really hard to do. I would guess if you could find one it would cost a $1000 or more. So I figure it is a $2000 repair to make it perfect, but like I said get a local guy to look at it. He will be able to poke around and figure out how bad it really is.

The other guy who has done this transplant, how did he work around this issue?

If you have a way to have a good body shop look at it by all means do it. Front frame rail repair and replacement is expensive exact work. If you could find a good front clip, that would be a good fix.

I don't know how many states do this but in Texas if you have the plates from the matching year as your vehicle you can use those on the car. My father in law had a 37' Ford and I found plates (Texas requires front & back) on Ebay and bead blasted them and hand painted them for him. They really made the car.

I agree about leaning over but for a different reason. It hurts so bad to straighten up later!!

Oil pressure uneven
Another question, did you reuse your old oil sender or did the new engine come with one?
