anyone know of any for sale in theyre respective areas. please help me please

usually all you will need is a ground and a power source. i usually hooked mine up to body ground and a positive power sound from the fuse block to a switch. there are other ways to do it. its not really hard at all. you could also which i have done and like is run a thermostatic switch to control the fan,(approxiamately 18.00) so you dont forget to turn it off:stupid: like i have also done. there isnt that much in the way of wiring or a mess and it doesnt make your engine bay look bad. i had a larger battery but thats me because i like the extra power in my battery. i dont think it would be a problem with the battery you have. the alternator and everything else was stock. it will free up a few ponies and take away the jet engine sound though you wont feel a power gain. i would also get a puller fan and not a pusher fan. good luck and dont worry its not that hard of a thing to do.

please go here http://www.speed-technology.com/efi_throttle.html

installation is a breeze, there were no problems, yes it does run quieter.

its a 260Z. all the way up till you see the first engine shot of the battery tray area, it looks like its nothing but fiberglass. makes you wonder about this rust free car that is "one of 3500" whats up with that?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2405271620&category=6187

you would be hard pressed and have a lot of money spent getting a n/a to 300 crank hp. you would be better off using a 280ZXT and upping boost, ic rrfpr, and the like to get an easy 250 260 hp. getting to 300 would be much easier also and much less expensive also you will still be streetable instead of trying to run on homeade race gas.

and now you see my point BOGUSROFL

thats the color i hate the most

but those wheels omg :sick: :sick: :sick:

speed ratings, and UTQG ratings, Using a P195/60R15 87S tire size as our example, the 87S at the end of the size represents the tire’s service description. A service description identifies the tire’s load index and speed rating. Service Descriptions are required on all speed rated (except for Z-speed rated) tires manufactured since 1991. The first two digits (87S) represent the tire’s load index and are followed by a single letter (87S) identifying the tire’s speed rating. Load Index P195/60R15 87S - The load index (87) is the tire size’s assigned numerical value used to compare relative load carrying capabilities. In the case of our example the 87 identifies the tires ability to carry approximately 1,201 pounds. The higher the tire’s load index number, the greater its load carrying capacity. 89 = 1,279 pounds 88 = 1,235 pounds 87 = 1,201 pounds 86 = 1,168 pounds 85 = 1,135 pounds A tire with a higher load index than that of the original equipment tire indicates an increase in load capacity. A tire with a load index equal to that of the original equipment tire indicates an equivalent load capacity. A tire with a lower load index than the original equipment tire indicates the tire does not equal the load capacity of the original. Typically, the load indexes of the tires used on passenger cars and light trucks range from 70 to 110.

For example, the “S” rating identifies speeds up to 112 mph (180 km/h). It is important to note that speed ratings only apply to tires that have not been damaged, altered, under-inflated or overloaded. Additionally, most tire manufacturers maintain that a tire that has been cut or punctured no longer retains the tire manufacturer’s original speed rating, even after being repaired. In Europe, where selected highways do not have speed limits and high speed driving is permitted, speed ratings were established to match the speed capability of tires with the top speed capabilities of the vehicles to which they are applied. Speed ratings are established in kilometers per hour and subsequently converted to miles per hour (which explains why speed ratings appear established at “odd” mile per hour increments). Despite the tire manufacturer’s ability to manufacturer tires capable of high speeds, none of them recommend the use of their products in excess of legal speed limits. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests where the tire is pressed (to reflect its required load) against a large diameter metal drum and run at ever increasing speeds (in 6.2 mph steps in 10 minute increments) until the tire’s required speed has been met. Speed Rating - Miles/Hour - Kilometers/Hour - Typical Use N=87 MPH, 140km/h, Spare Tires U=124 MPH, 200km/h P=93 MPH, 150km/h H=130 MPH, 210km/h, Sport Sedans Q=99 MPH, 160km/h, Winter, LT Tires V=149 MPH, 240km/h, Sports Cars R=106 MPH, 170km/h, LT Tires Z=149 MPH, 240km/h and over, Sports Cars S=112 MPH, 180km/h W=168 MPH, 270km/h, Exotic Sport Cars T=118 MPH, 190km/h Y=186 MPH, 300km/h, Exotic Sport Cars *Today, the Z-speed rating is the only speed rating that is still branded “within” the tire size, as in P225/50ZR16. All other speed ratings are shown in the tire’s service description. When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to reflect the highest speed rating that would ever be required. Since that time the automotive industry has found it necessary to add W- and Y-speed ratings (indicated in the tire’s service description) to identify the tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high, top speed capabilities. Miles/Hour Kilometers/Hour P225/50ZR16 149+ 240+ P225/50ZR16 91W 168 270 P225/50ZR16 91Y 186 300 While all Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds of 149 mph and above, prior to the W- and Y-speed ratings were identified in the service, how far above 149 mph was not identified. Prior to 1991, the most popular speed ratings were “S,” “H” and “V.” However, while the speed capabilities of S- and H-rated tires still indicate the same speeds as before, the V-speed rating has been modified. Previously a V-speed rated tire with the “V” branded “within” the tire size indicated that the tire was capable of 130+ miles per hour as indicated below: Miles/Hour Kilometers/Hour P225/50SR16 112 180 P225/50HR16 130 210 P225/50VR16 130+ 210+ this covers the UTGQ rating, which also talks little about heat ratings and life of a tire, theres not a lot here but remember the higher the heat rating the better the tire would be to resist failure running at constant high speeds. The Department of Transportation requires each manufacturer to grade its tires under the Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) labeling system and establish ratings for treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. These tests are conducted independently by each manufacturer following government guidelines to assign values that represent a comparison between the tested tire and a control tire. While traction and temperature resistance ratings are specific performance levels, the treadwear ratings are assigned by the manufacturers following field testing and are most accurate when comparing tires of the same brand. Treadwear Treadwear receives a comparative rating based on wear rate of the the tire in field testing following a government specified course. For example, a tire grade of 150 wears 1.5 times as long as a tire graded 100. Actual performance of the tire can vary significantly depending on conditions, driving habits, care, road characteristics, and climate. Traction Straight-a-head wet braking traction has been represented by a grade of A, B, or C with A being the highest. In 1997 a new top rating of "AA" has been introduced to indicate even greater wet braking traction. However, due to its newness, this grade will probably be applied initially to new tire lines as they are introduced and later to existing lines which excel in wet braking, but had been limited to the previous top grade of "A". Traction grades do not indicate wet cornering ability. Temperature Temperature resistance is graded A, B or C. It represents the tire's resistance to the heat generated by running at high speed. Grade C is the minimum level of performance for all passenger car tires as set under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. This grade is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.

heres the american racing sprint wheels <img src=http://www.akhwheels.com/pages/images/akh137.jpg>

here are the ansen wheels most like the american racing kidney type mag wheels that are on a lot of datsuns, <img src=http://www.akhwheels.com/pages/images/akh042.jpg> and here are the boyd wheels http://www.billetwheel.com/Wheels/Signature/signature.html they are pricey for what they offer i like the ansens for the price

but that just looks like a girls car now

S = 112 T = 118 H = 130 as you can see with the different ratings comes a different speed rating, you could go to any tire shop on the web and they will be able to tell you in detail. aslo with a higher speed rating comes a better grip and tighter side walls do to a softer compound in the tire and more sidewall bands for strength especially in the lower profile types. i have noticed a big difference in a H to Z rated tire. handling definetly changes. i dont think you would notice to much difference between a T and an H. depending on the manufacuter.

that color is umm:sick: :sick: :sick: i cant imagine anyone painting any car for that matter a bright baby blue :cross-eye ill find something you watch and see. i do like that lime green one though :devious: to bad its way out of my price range

but i do agree with bambikiller the interior color leaves something a little less to be desired. hehe:stupid:

is it just me or is this guy on crack?? 700 dollars for this set up. calipers remaned= 56.99 power stop slotted rotors= 79.99 brake pads = 46.99 hardware kit= 6.99 spacers= get your own made for about 75.00 buy them from a Z source= 150.00 now if you get your spacers made =355.99 if you buy them from a source= 430.95 what makes his set up so special to rate 700 buy it now price am i missing something heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2404930944&category=33563

it does seem hard to believe that a car with 20k and ive seen them with 60k and look better inside then that one does. i agree with keith also this is to funny about storing the car in the winter, in miami where its now or was today 78 degrees. god i wish i had to deal with that

under normal driving conditions then by all means drive on. as long as it isnt pulling or darting id go along with it and forget the alignment. where i used to work we would take cars in for struts and the like and do an alignment check on the car after we were done. if it wasnt needed none was performed and the owner only paid for the check of the alignment which was usually 19.99

well looked at the car i thought was going to be my new Z. only 2 good things to say about it. one was of course the mikunis, the other was the body but the floors were rotted and a shitty job of replacing them was done. needless to say i was quite disgusted. also the engine has the worst valve train noise ive ever heard, not to mention the the bottom end sounds like its about to fall out. i was very sad today. the only good thing about the whole trip was getting to hear the sound of those tripples. can still say it today. theres nothing in the world that sounds that good

and concidering you have a silver car i think these enkies i had shown you before would look really nice. http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-24.html they also just now it seems have a set of 14x7 polished slotted wheels, the ar kidney style with Z center caps for sale now, they look really good in the pic too. heres the link, if your wanting to keep a set of slots on your car then i would say these are quite nice. http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-29.html Eric is also willing to haggle a little on the price too, so you may get them a bit cheaper. good luck james

but i have dealt with the guys at www.suspension.com and i have always had nothing but good things to say about them ie shipping pakaging and delivery. very freindly and customer oriented. i have bought 5 kits from them. always the right kit everytime and always great service. not syaing we should turn away from the Z specific vendors. but if you dont buy from the others that do have parts still available for our cars well guess what they will no longer stock them. what does that get you, one less source to buy parts from

i am a mechanic and i work on my own car but if i took it to a shop and things like that were going on someone would be paying dearly this is for certain. i remember when i wen to get tires on my Z. the guy stars to lift the car with a jack at the pinch weld i ran out into the bay and was flipping. the owner says you cant be out here. i informed the owner in not such a nice way that unless he wanted a hefty body repair and paint bill due to his careless workers, he would let me direct them on how to care for my car. there is no way and i mean NO WAY that i would stand for service like that, grease prints, destroying my personal property. heh if i were to do that at any of the places i worked at i would be sure to be fired.

saw the 280ZX wheels they are alright with the right look on a car. but he wants a lot for them. hell if you want those ill sell you a set of five, though i only have two polished for 200. they are not a bad wheel but i dont think they look to good on a Z. fstr240Z, good catch on the 280 for a grand though those wheels no offense are:sick: heh i never did like that they wanted to make truck wheels for the Z . id only use them if i had too. good luck with whatever you decide there burt. hope that you find what your looking for. james

with different style revo wheels http://revolutionwheels.com/images/Revolution_Wheels.JPG http://revolutionwheels.com/images/Wallace_Burkett_260_Z_front.jpg
