all you really need is a good degreaser and a pressure washer, do not soak the distributor or the throttle valve switch. you should be fine

what i find funny is that they show it all on new cars. show me an older car with decent paint and a before and after pic. but for the price they can keep it gav i use meguirs also. have you tried this combo. for one make sure your buffer cloth is clean. when it gets dirty change it. i use meguirs first step cleaner wax, then theyre mirror glaze, then the gold class. always looks great and never had a problem with swirl marks

its nice clean rust free, free of squeaks quirks and noises, and runs like a bat outta hell!! for anyone saying the 280ZX is overweight slow and sloppy i cant see where. another thing i have a question with is that a lot of people put down the BW T-5. i dont see why. its great smooth shifting tight somewhat of a notchy feel but i like that. i dont see at all where it is sloppy and gears are hard to find. the T-5 is a great tranny. only problem i do see with the car is the rear, just like the 300ZX its sloppy in the rear but i know how to fix that. me personally i like it and well since ive never owned one before this is a good thing, now i can say ive had every Z to have with the exception of a 90+ and the 350Z but on that note i cant see myself wanting a 350Z

i was sent the wrong link and it was a total bummer. here is the correct link from a Reliable source. this is from this years show. once again i apologize http://zdriver.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=574&thumb=1

but i know jasper engines sells the complete engine for liek 1675 or 1775 with a 3 year warranty. they will also deliver to your door. something to think about.

search the Z car sites and autotrader and the like. there are several datsuns for sale around la finding one shouldnt be a problem at all. oh recycler.com is another

though i never had a petronix i have heard nothing about good from them. i had a crane unit and it continually pissed me off on a daily basis. that is when i put a 280ZX distributor in my 240 that i had. it as he says is a pain to get it set just right and it would always seem to go out on me. once i had the datsunt 280ZX unit i never had a problem again. lots of people told me that i should have went with the petronix unit but the crane was in the car to begin with. i know you dont want to make your wifey unhappy but you would be bettter off taking that out and putting the datusn unit back in.

for what you would pay for just the wheels and tires for the car i would be able to get my current wheels and the best set of tires i could buy and still have money left over to do a few more mods it just isnt worth it for cost, time and the lot.

i couldnt find a suitable 240Z so i opted for a Z that i never owned. a 280ZX so there you have it

2many i know you wont like it but well here it is:love: <img src=http://zdriver.com/gallery/data/500/286280zx4-med.jpg> <img src=http://zdriver.com/gallery/data/500/286280zx3-med.jpg> <img src=http://zdriver.com/gallery/data/500/286280zx1-med.jpg>

i would have to say that its seals, especially with the smoke if it is blue coming out of the exhaust.

at the time i didnt know that the speedo was 10 miles off to the bad, but i was doing an average of 85 to 95 mph and getting 25mpg i think thats pretty damn good

i would post a message about his harassment and also send an email to vince or derek about his behavior with the emails that he sent you. he would be banned from the site

its under all others or other makes or something like that all the way at the bottom of the list of car makes at ebay motors

www.hybridZ.org what you need if your in the US hehe, is 87-89 tubo 300ZX differential, if you had an R200 originally then you woldnt need the mustache bar and the like with that swap, 280ZXT CV shafts are best and will work with the 240Z as well. you do want to keep the finned pan though some take it off but i wouldnt want to lose the extra fluid that comes with the LSD from the turbo cars. nissan made it that way for a reason. you can buy a bar that will allow the finned cover to be used and it looks great. search and ye shall find.

from what ive read and learned it is a really strange subject. some say that with the n/a cars that you do need backpressure and some say not. some say you will burn out your valves without any back pressure. well that i do know is a myth. ive never run a chambered (like the turbo style muffler) exhaust. never had any problems with valves and the like on an n/a engine. i will say this though going with an open exhaust does cost you a little in the bottom end but lets you go faster in the top end. its a give and take with whatever you decide to use. turbos though do use the exhaust escape and you want that out of the car asap. its always fun and talking and discussing things like this. ive heard a lot about the n/a applications and from a lot of people. what i have never seen from anyone is any difference via dyno sheets that state and or prove that an open exhaust or a chambered exhaust is any better or worse then the other. its what you like and decide and feel best with that matters in the end most of all.

i once was going to do a stainless steel mandrel bent exhaust for my 240Z i had. i priced all parts from Jc Whitney. the cost was a measily if i recall right somewhere between 140 and 170. not to bad huh. if you go to www.jcwhitney.com you can find mandrel bends that you could use for your intake. you might also want to make your own exhaust as well just have it put together at a muffler shop. good luck with whatever you decide

but it will not give you any noticeable appreciation in power unless your more the basically modified. it isnt a bolt and gain power if you get my drift.

you dont want to go above 3.70 unless you have taller gears in the transmission. what happens is you will get a better take off, but what you lose is the power that the turbo will produce by not being able to say in gear long enough to use that boost therefore losing power. nissan was very right in there thinking and keeping the ratio at 3.54

umm since its for sale whats the asking price?

with just a 3 inch exhuast ill post when i get it from my friend jeffp, what the dyno says on a stock turbo with a 3 inch exhuast. the gained power was 20 hp and 18ft lbs of torque at the rear wheels. that shows you how restrictive the stock system is. he has dyno sheets that i can post to prove it. jeff mentioned some turbos need the restriction, sorry jeff but that is totally wrong. the less restrictive the exhaust is on a turbo motor the better for power. you want as little restriction as possible.

if you go to www.car-part.com where ive found 99+ leather seats for 100 each. now i know some do not like leather but just a point if you want it you could have it for what they want for clothe:ermm:

i should have put that in my post as per a 15x7 wheel sorry

but im not complaining, it does currently have an automatic also:ermm: and i guess ill have to put up with that till i get it home. then that auto tranny will be out of there faster then bob barker can say your the next contestant on the price is right

whether he knows it or not im not complaining, it also has a set of euro lights too which i will keep my mouth shut about. just took lots of searching to finally find this car, and im glad i did and was very patient about it.
