    I'm going to be swapping a running engine into my 76 280z tomorrow and was wondering if there were any tips from you guys and also how long it should take for someone with the right tools and a good deal of know how. Thanks and with me luck with getting my z running again

    88 civic blower motor bolts right in (might need some metal triming on the housing depending on year) and blows harder than nissan one

    its got some slight rust on the driver floor pan and some bubbles (not very many) on the quarters, but the car has been problamatic from the start, i think im better off using it as a parts car and an interior stripper

    as i was cruising on the freeway last night i heard a pop and smoke started coming out in all directions. after pulling over to a nearby parking lot and letting the smoke stop i had a tow truck take my car to my z mechanic. after a quick diagnosis, i blew a hole in the engine. so in order to get back on the road i need a new block. having dropped too much money into this car over the short year and 1 month that i have had it, i am going to retire this car to parts. a new head gasket, transmission seal, throw out bearing, and pressure plate, fuel pump, wiring harness, battery, starter, alternator and mayn other things have seen my z car recently. as a poor high school student i don't know what to do. its not worth the money (that i don't have) to fix a problamatic car so i guess im looking for another z car that is cheap, a daily driver, and has very little rust (that was the only good things about that z) but if anyone out there wants to help let me know, i need all that i can get.

    the site seems to be unaviable, can i get some pictures and some more details on the car please? Thanks
  9. how is the rust on the car? are there any problems that may com ein the future that you can already see starting? and is $2500 still what you're looking for?
  10. I need to get a new exhaust system as my pipes decided to rust through over the years. I'm on a pretty tight budget and am looking for something that will help out my z. I have a 76 280z with the cat converter. I can get a Nissan exhaust system for $160 but MSA has the "turbo" system for $125 and some guy has been selling Monza exhaust systems on ebay for $137. I only need the pipes past the cat converter and the muffler. Is there anywhere I can find some decent stuff cheaper? And of those and others what do you suggest for a poor kid trying to get his z quiet

    ive got a set of triple webers and intake manifold ready to bolt in (might need some tuning, they have been sitting for 15 years or so), how much are you looking to spend?
  13. i am looking to see what a set of triple webers with intake manifold would sell for and a NOS turbo blower would sell for. A friend of mine has both and wants to see what he can get for them before he decides to sell.

    I need to get new weather stripping for my Z and I want to know the best options. There is that guy on ebay you sells the kit for $185, but that seems pretty cheap for good weather stripping. Anyone used that before or have a better way of going at it?
