they are what they call lifetime joint replacement parts. they dont last a lifetime though. with your ball joints and tierod ends that you purchased that have the grease fittings they do come with a little lube inside them already. with the limited mileage you have driven i wouldnt think that you did any real damage. grease them up well and check to see if you have any play in the joints you installed. you should be alright

ive always used marvel mystery oil and never had any problems with my carbs at all, if anything they helped the car run better

and whoever they had gotten to help them along with whats real and not must have been living on fantasy island with Tatoo i wonder do they still show FWD cars doing burnouts from the rear. does a car with a blown motor and fried pistons still start right up and run from the cops? do the floors fall out from to much NAWWWSSS! is there anything that is faster then the hondas and mitsu's in the movie?? the first one was an insult to any gear heads mind, if the second is anything like it ill wait to see it on tv:sick:

renting a trailer wouldnt cost you much at all and most everything you need to do you would be able to yourself with basic tools. concidering the car was sitting so long most of the hoses and seals are going to probably be shot, if not they wont be healthy. then there is the block itself, is it rotating freely or not. one thing you can do right now is remove the spark plugs and shoot some oil down into the pistons and let them soak, remove the valve cover and do the same with the cam and timing gear. you would also want to bleed and check all brake lines and there respective calipers and wheel cylinders, clutch master and slave if you have a 4 speed. next if the tank has fuel in it still remove the nut at the bottom of the tank and drain it. disconnect the lines from the carbs send forced air threw them making sure they are clean. pull the domes off of the carbs clean them out make sure all parts are working properly. if you took this car to a shop you would get raped!! just put it on a trailer and take it home yourself good luck

but they are some nice looking wheels:love:

something tells me that 2many has 2much time on his hands ROFL

especially now seeing that i am partially blind from looking at a truely disgusting version of the camel gt kit:sick: :sick: :sick:

the 200ZR if you need a sporty car to drive around in now i would say take the 200ZR if you can wait, id wait for either the MA70 supra, they do handle well, or most definetly the R32:love:

that was too funny ROFL ROFL

17 in the city isnt bad at all. if it hasnt been done though a full tune up will help you out. if your not sure or do not know if its been done then go threw the car with new plugs wires cap rotor fuel filter air filter, adjust the vavles, service your tranny and your rear, just to make sure that the car is up to maintenance standards. i have a 83 ZXT and around town i get about 18 mpg, hehe on the highway, as long as im being good though i get up to 28-30 mpg. one thing that will help a bit is switching to a 5 speed, then again it might not because youw ill be driving it harder:devious:

use the panel puller it is much better, and though you may have luck with a screwdriver and or a putty knife when you dont and you destroy that 32 year old card board behind that vynil well i think i said enough. if your panels are nice clean and straight then i wouldnt use anything else

it doesnt matter what the car was, but damn that had to hurt \ OUUUUUCCCCH

at least to much. and that sa great find you got there.

go to summitracing.com and check out the msd pump that they have there. seems to be a decent pump for the price. they also have others that are there as well. if you plan on putting power to the car i would suggest you go to www.Zcar.com and do a search for author jeffp once you find one of his posts, get his email and talk to him he currently has a stroked L28ET putting over 450 to the ground, im sure he could help you out with fuel needs.

looking at the pics of the car with the outer panel rust, and concidering the location, it looks to have battery tray rust, fire wall rust and more the likely frame rail rust and floor pan rust. umm what does he think he has, a mint condition 280Z. in my eyes this car is worth about 500 usd if it runs

i like it especially the price

where in the hell are the pics man pics damnit pics!!!!!

carl and tanny both said some really good things. tanny its true, i have been dwelling on what if and where as's and the like. whats really bad is that no one because i know my mom was in no condition to try and contact me when he died. she was the one that found my dad slumped over the bed, lips blue and barely warm. it is a pain that will without doubt take a long long time to lose in my heart, i still tear up everytime i think of my dad. as you stated though tanny lately thats what ive been thinking about. his little ways, his laughing and joking, and mostly the way that all who he knew loved him. he touched a lot of lives, mine mostly because to this day i only wish and hope that i could be half the man my father was. he wasnt rich, powerful or great, he was my dad. all who knew him loved him, all who knew him respected him, and all who knew him would do anything for my dad. why you ask? because that was the kind of person he was. just a kind gentle man that was loved by all he touched. if i can only be as half as rich as he was, with friends and family then ill be a better man myself. i cant imagine with you tanny what your children are going threw, knowing the inevitible and how you must feel by the same token knowing your leaving your family. it must be devastating. i totally agree with what you said, life is to be lived to its fullest and to be shared with family and friends. as most have said already, tell the ones you care for and love that you do love them, let them know theyre in yoru hearts and never forget life really is to short. tanny i hope the best for you and you get to see all that you wish for your kids. if not well im sure that they will know that you will be watching over from above. take care all and thanks once again.

but here in the states you can go to your local parts store and get yourself one that is basically a universal hold down kit for 5 dollars usd. if you are looking for an original hmm i wouldnt know where to look for one

for the Z have at least a 2.5 inch collector. if your engine and the like are mostly stock then i wouldnt go above 2.25, if you have a little more then stock or are planning to go further then by all means get the 2.5 i ran my wrecked 72 just off of headers alone and i dont know what hes talking about losing low end torque. i could rip and run that car all day long:devious:

they are more then likely BBS or ARE, i dont think enkie made a style with the raised mesh like that but i could be mistaken.

hey guys i felt i would share this with you as most of us here are like family and freinds. well this weekend i had some fun planned, i was going to baltimore to visit the parents and go to the track and see what my car can do. well unfortunately that was all cut short as i arrived at my parents house. it had been a good while well a long while since i had seen them and since they had there number changed i really hadnt any way to get in contact with them. that coupled with some money probs kept me at home for a good little while about 8 months. well anyway this weekend i found out in a really bad way i would think at least it was for me that my father had passed away. i dont know how close or not most of you are to your parents but i was pretty close. i really cant put into words what i felt when i was told by my mother what had happened. i guess the easiest was to say that someone had driven a stake threw my heart. i was sick, hurt, finding it hard to breathe, and the whole while i couldnt figure out why he was taken away. he was still a young man at only 56 years of age. my mother told me though that the day before he was as happy as could be and he didnt really suffer threw death. it was found that he had a massive heart attack and that was what had taken his life. one of the things i thought of was that in all this time i didnt see him. no one was for some reason able to contact me, and i didnt even get to reallyl say goodbye. his passing occured on April 5, 2003. so i was thinking as i know i never thought at all that one day i would go to visit my parents and find one of them gone from my life. so to all that havent talked to your parents in a while or havent seen them, give them a call, see how they are doing and tell them just so they know that you love them. its someting i didnt get a chance to do. i really mis my father, the pain is just unreal as to what it is you really feel when they are gone. i dont even know what made me write this. i guess i just needed to share. all of you take care and god bless.

some good reading here You might be a ricer if............... http://www.goingfaster.com/spo/you_might_be_a_ricer_if.html
