  2. L28 , fuel injected. Just talked to a friend that works the performance counter at my favorite local parts store (they have a counter for performance only parts) and he basically told me to get a 280z muffler, he says the supertrapp will sound like crap so Im prolly gonna do a universal since oem is 160 bux
  3. mebbe Ill call around and see what i can find,..
  4. Me being the genius I am i went and bought a thrush muffler, just like ive always used on my chevies, big mistake, my car sounds liek a damn airplane or something, whatever , it dont sound good :-( Hopefully I have enough pipe to replace it again, anyone suggest a good brand? Please dont say borla, I havent bought one of their mufflers since they broke the 100 dollar mark.
  5. crazy glue!
  6. how bout this? ack, should have read the reply before i posted:stupid:
  7. when I bought my z I was listening to it and told the guy it sounded a little loud up top. The guy said the valves were noisy. After messing with the thing for a while I pulled off the valve cover and one of the rockers on #4 was off as you described, but less noisy. I ended up using an allen wrench to gently push the valve down so I could get the rocker back on. seems to be fine now. Lot less noisy up top too.:cheeky:
  8. soon my z will be as easily damaged in the rear end as yours was. Not being a purist I plan on putting 240 bumbpers on my 280. I used to make that trip every weekend when I was stationed in SD and transferred to Long Beach to see my honey. Then when i was transferred to Coronado I did the reverse to see another one :-) It was amazing, I could kill a 6 pack on the drive (back in my younger days when I drank and drove :-( ):cheeky:

  14. I was thinkin that if someone knew to open the hood to hook up the battery it might be someone close enough to my house that sees me do it every night, mebbe im paranoid as for lights, I have 2 pits and a rott, dont get much better alarms,.I just need to pay more attention when they bark I guess
  15. Went to leave for work this morning and and my hood was open, my battery reconnected ( I disconnect it at night because I have a short killing my battery) and my driver side door open. I had heard the dog barking after midnight and got up looked and went to the bathroom. Must have scared em off. I dont wanna spend the money on an alarm yet!
