the worst thing of all is when i got the thing home and in the garage, what i found out to be the problem was the ground quit grounding. it was really strange, how this occured, no rust in the original ground area and the original wire was still good. i chalk that up to electrical gremlims at work.

exactly but for the money and if you can travel or ship i would choose this 73 over that 71 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2414658184&category=6187

well i had fun tonight. i pulled into the local sheetz (convenience and gas station) for those that dont know. well everything was all fine and well with the car till i get done doing what i had to do then i hop in and was ready to go. well so i thought:ermm: i start the car, she fires right up then bluh bluh bluh and done. im sitting there thinking ok what just happened:cross-eye then i notice i dont hear the fuel pump running, great!!:mad: so i hop out, this is like the local young person hangout in town too, i have the hood up and everyones looking, i get under the car to check the connections, all is well, check the relays all is well so im like ok whats going on here:stupid: pull the power wire to the fuel pump and hook it direct. well there is nothing its dead. so with attitude now that my car is stranded and everyone looking i call my father in law. he has a laugh at my expense, then comes up with some wire cutters some wire, the fuel pump, and a few other misc. tools. after a little bit of cussing i plug in the alternate fuel pump right below the fuel filter, turn it on let the rail fill up and off i go. :cheeky: all it all it was a fairly good ordeal, got a lotta comments on the car, hehe as it was sitting there inoperable.:tapemouth

about my 280ZXT, shame on you all!!!!!!!!! i have to admit that is absolutely the ugliest 240 i have ever seen, i think i like the one Z i saw on ebay or somewhere recently with the daytona front end and the vette rear, at least that didnt look to bad. this is well just ****ing ugly:sick: :cross-eye :sick:

ill just say trueROFL

feeling down, not to happy, need a belly rolling on the floor laugh, need to cheer up?? just download this video and you will be filled with 5 minutes of total joy and laughter at this complete idiot!!!!! trust me this is one for the record books, ive never seen so much &#036;^&#33;# spewed out of someones mouth at one time enjoy http://www.cybergeorge.net/mustang/Vtec03cobra.mpg

now how in the hell am i supposed to go to sleep after seeing something like that:finger:

i just uploaded a lot of nice old school datsun cars, Z's, gtrs and the like. some really nice pics if your interested. the key word is "japanese muscle"

but see i knew it its a damn conspiracy with those american cars trying to rid the earth of our beloved datsuns. sorry to see your car in the shape its in looks like they hit it really hard. like someone else said the car is replaceable, YOU are NOT!! good to know that your up and moving though. take care in recovery, and dont think about revenge just yet:devious: least not till you can run back to your 240Z hehe the next getaway car:cheeky:

first check for any vacumn leaks, check timing, set carbs to a general run position meaning like a come from the factory position have you also made sure all thing are functioning properly, ie fuel pump, filters clean, your getting spark or it wouldnt start. do a basic rundown, of the norm things that would cause it not to run, then see what happens and keep us posted

and the turbo afm will flow more. all you would have to do is switch the internals. and can you tell me why this wouldnt help. especially if you open up the tb and still have the small and restricted afm of the n/a engine blocking what you tried to open up and give more flow.

and dont worry

but they are cleanable and turnable. if you would like to have them just pay the shipping and they are yours.

the dgv's if jetted properly will give you great performance. i had a 72 with them and they were really good till about 5500-6000 rpms, then they would lose power to what seemed to be lack of fuel. i think if i had played with the jetting they would be an excellent carb to use but personally from a stand point for more performance you would be better off with a set of dual su's, not to say the webers arent good. but to get the proper set up with the right jets and so forth can get expensive quick. whatever you do stay away from the 4barrel set up. its just worthless, in my opinion. the triples wont do squat for you except suck up loads of gas unless you have the engine to use them.

was the most hilarious thing i have ever seen in my life. a 96+ cavalier with the cheby emblem removed and in its place siR. it was hysterical i couldnt help but laughing. i think i mad the guy mad too. at the light he revved it to about 5k and tired to burm out and couldnt so in the clutch went again till i would assume about 6k and he got a little bit of a chirp. worst yet is he wanted to race after that. god i tell you it was to funny if you could only have seen it all you would be roflyfao. the things you see on the road today

though i love the Z its as you all must admit, a rolling coffin. not really much of anything to protect you from any one on the road today. good luck fstr, lets hope you dont look as bad as you car. those things of material can be replaced, your life cannot, speedy recovery to you and prayers to keep you strong. good luck, take care, were all wishing you well here

i was searching for a 87-89 Z31 turbo differential and during my search at one of those parts locator places the guy that was on the phone tells me that the infiniti M30 90-93 has a R200 LSD just like the Z31 turbos if this were true that would mean a new source for LSD's but i have yet to find anyone that can verify this. is there anyone out there that knows if this is true or not. i was told if it wasnt that they would pick up all shipping charges but its the hassle i dont want to go threw with and i have found a different source that has them much cheaper. can anyone here tell me if this is true or not? thanks for any assistance

found this and thought it to be a great idea and a great alarm for keeping would be theives from stealing your Z:love: http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0059&P=1

to bad it was on a 92 chevy camaro z28 hehe. seems though that well i dont know if its just my car, or the way that the ZXT is but taking off was rather slow with the redline coming quick. 2nd was really good and i pulled right on him and third was just WOW!! left him in the dust eating fuel enrichened exhaust. for some reason though i dont see why people say they are slow, and why persons would say that the T5 is a sloppy shifter with the gears being hard to find. ive found the the tranny shifts incredibly smoothe, a little notchy between the gears like say a ferrari or the like but i like that. that trans is nice and tight i like them. i now also know what 13# of boost feels like as well, sweeeeeeeeeet! though as i blew by that camaro, i dont think he liked the rather evil grin on my face either, not to shabby for a car with 175K on the odometer. i cant complain on bit about my 2500 dollar ZXT its one mean little machine. now all i need is more booooooooost!! hehe. only thing i found that i did not like of what the prior owner did was using the starion ic. i can see that the piping and the ic itself is a bit of a bottle neck and thats the first thing to go on the list of new things to do. im hoping this motor will last a little while till i get the other motor right that i had for my 240Z gotta say i give a big thumbs up to the 280ZX

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.
