www.majesticturbo.com or turbos cant remember it exactly. rebuilds your core turbo for about 300 dollars with warranty. i would chance a junkyard turbo just for the fact that it might do the same thing. depending on what caused the engine to sieze is what you need. you will definetly need complete gasket set. new bearings i recomend nissan only for this. might as well do the timing chain while your there. new rings. you just have to pull it apart and see what damage is there. if all goes well once the motor is out of the car total tear down should take more then 2 hours with the right tools. good luck. james

hey good to hear from you . well if your gonna sell the ninja though im sure it hurts you a little. :stupid: look at it this way thats just that little extra you need to go to california and get a nice one:love: and well if you need a traveling companion ill go:D i love road trips, and it will only take us just over 2.5 days :devious: hehe if you were driving like i was anyway here on my road trip i thought i was making good time driving at about 80 to 85 on average.. and getting 25mpg no less who knew that actually i was going 95 to 100:surprised well the cop that told me that didnt look to surprised:finger: it was a great trip for the exception that when its lonely and your out in the middle of nowhere and the tape deck doesnt work. all you get to hear....( i dont care for country that much) is country music stations. well good luck with the new wife and at least you have her broke in already with your first little road trip:ermm: well that one to pa have a good one james

over at www.zhome.com apparently it doesnt work to well

same manufacture date 5/71 with 4 screw su's

ive been have this problem with my right front wheel. when i turn left or depress the brake pedal i get this howling noise like a bad wheel bearing. put the car up today. inspected the bearings they look well repacked and tried it again. its not as bad now. but still making the same noise. i have new bearings and seals on order from courtesy nissan, but i was wondering could it be anything else?? the wheel is nice and tight i dont feel any play in it at all. anyone have a clue. thanks james

jeffp over at www.zcar.com has a great example of a stroked turbo. ive personally rode in his car and even at only 18#'s of boost i was incredible his is the fastest Z or ZX for that matter that i have ever been in. it is one incredible car. his website is www.anglefire.com/extreme/280zxt his email is there i believe too. he will help if you ask in anyway and is very knowledgeable with the turbo cars.

there was supposed to be one in pittsburgh but i called the guy left him a message about his Z club and well never got a phone call back. if your in southwestern pa forget it. i was thinking of joining the one in maryland

but 2 many has already covered all the bases.:tapemouth pay attention to the master young grasshopper:finger:

if there that bad you would have to buy to new lines going from the mc to the valve but there only maybe a 18 inches long and would cost a measely 5 dollars just cut as close to the nut as you can but the mc and the proportioning valve. then use a 6 point socket to remove the nuts. this way you can also sit the mc in a vice, if you dont have a set already i would suggest gettng a good set of line wrenches. kobalt makes a quality set and are of better quality and price to me then craftsman me personally i never liked wd-40. if you can find it in your neighborhood see if you have pb blaster. its the best

www.google.com and type in weber carburetors or redline and you will find a wealth of informantion

just to damn expensive for what you get. look at these cars. i would buy one of these first. a beautiful 71 with libra wheels 6900 http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/1/0/32396210.htm heres another 71 beautiful original owner 3000 http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/9/0/31590990.htm another good looking 71 for 2000!!! http://www.collectorcartraderonline.com/caddetail.html?/ad-cache/10/6/4/31868064.htm the point of all this is you can have a really nice Z car depending on how much money you want to spend. if it were me id buy the 2k or 3k 71's i posted here before that 15k on on ebay. just my .02

but very limited to what the carburetor can put out. its easier to do with fuel injection and worth the work. i definetly wouldnt be doing a carbed turbo. its just not worth it.

i dont think you could have gone wrong. like the others said, if its what you like then hey its great. i like the turbo ZX's. someone in here had said something about the snowflake wheels and it is true they were only for this model year and really rare you may want to hold onto them. good buy to me

if that idiot can get 15k for his Z. im gonna put mine on there with a new paint job and get at least 7k for mine. my wheel wells and interior looks superior to his. i can say i have 89000 miles. . thats what sold that car because some fool that has to much money thinks that car has an original 27k miles and there is no way. not without documentation. i dont see how they get away with letting someone say that without documenting it. well a fool and his money are soon parted hmm if i sell mine for 7k ill go back to cali and get me to more and have the money to fixem both up

the best fit would be 215 60 14

its at 15000. i think im going to get my car fixed adn put it on there with the 89000 miles and see what i can get. shoot i should be able to pull out about 7000 with what that thing is sellign for. hehe my interior looks better, and so do my wheel wells and unibody. hmmm im getting ideas

and i need facts and something to back it up with ie something to site. ok here is the scenario 78 280Z stock trim. 90+ 300ZX stock trim both running in optimal condition. both cars are n/a cars what would it take for the 280Z to beat the 300ZX how much hp and what would have to have been done to make this happen. oh btw the 280Z is using SU carbs.

but i did have dell ortos really nice carburetor easy to adjust and work on and much smoother them webers

well i was having hell of a time getting my car to run right yesterday. so i decided to go all out today and get it straight today so what i did was take both carbs completely apart and just went at it cleaning and getting all the gunk out cleaning every lil bit of the gunk on the outside of the carbs at the adjusters turned everything back to square one. adjusted the float levels which were really out of whack well guess what put it all together . made a very small adjustment and voila shes running like a scalded dog agian. woo hoo well all is well in z land again. oh and i finally get my car well start to get it fixed this coming monday yayyyy

you know everyone says how easy these are to tune la di da di da. well i tell you what. i want a set of weber DVG's again. i never had this much hassle out of those. well anyway now that im done ranting. all i did today was use a lil bit of good ole carb cleaner on my carbs to clean them out. well now its running like ****!!!! i dont know why i didnt touch anything but the filters to shoot some spray inside. well its running really bad lots of popping out of the exhaust at hi rpms. pops out of the intake at low rpms. WTF!! i got it running a lil better. timing is dead on. pulled the plugs rear 3 plugs heavily fouled i mean black soot. #5 is somewhat fuel fouled 1 and 3 are good???????? well i was wondering if anyone could help. and give me a base line setting that i should start with these carbs to get them right. the idle screw ?? at the bottome of the carbs how many turns out to start from. enrichment screws on top i figure start out at 1.5 turns?? anyone i would really appreciate it . thanks james

if that were true then the car would be right hand drive. not left. and the second one a original 3.0 straight six thats just to funny. poeple really dont realize what they have

look at this one RARE factory sunroof huh????? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1853941685 i didnt know that you didnt have to buy the big bore kit from msa. just get yourself a 260Z is that why they were so rare 3.0 straight six original engines?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1853242862 i hate to make fun of other Z cars but this is rediculous. its more that the people that have then dont really know what they got sad actually:tapemouth

nothing special

i used to part time at Advanced Auto. we have the same tester guess what that thing is a piece of ****!!! doesnt really give you any definitive results. if you have an advanced auto parts in your town go to it. they have a really nice battery tester indoors that will charge the battery and retest it. they also have a real alternator tester inside. i agree with most when they say that it is the alt and reg have them checked it doesnt cost anything and its easy to do
