  1. ok, thanks.... that's rather diasappointing....
  2. also, i noticed it has the pull-out hazard switch and it appears to have a 260 intake manifold (short studs)
  3. i;m assuming that the answer to this question will be no... but has anyone done this before? is it possible even with fabrication?
  4. ^^ black rear valence
  5. thanks guys... i looked at the switch earlier and it APPEARED fine, but appearances are sometimes misleading. the only thing that kinda tossed me was that the brake lights stopped working and the fuse box got hot at the same time. this is what is leading me to believe that there's a stupid short in some hard to get to area at a common junction. anyway, i'll get out my multimeter when i get home from work and check la resistance...

    ^^ that one worked... that's a nice roadster! the price seems a little steep for a 1600... i have seen 2000s for sale here in san diego (ca) for around that price
  7. cool thanks! ya, i read a bunch of different threads and pages about the problem, just not how to fix it! anyway, would that help my problem w/ my brake lights? b/c as of now i have no car....

    hmm... my browser must be busted

    came up a blank page for me...
  10. after some thought i figured that... also, after another series of driving it DIDN'T fix the problem, just made it a little less obvious.... so back to the old drawing board
  11. well.... i don't know what happened, but all of a sudden my brake lights quit working. it's not the bulbs and there aren't any obvious problems. coincidentally (or not) when i turn on my lights the left connector of the "tail" fuse gets hot and has since melted the plastic (GRRRR).... HELP! this is my daily driver and only car, and before anyone tells me to search i already have to no avail.... anyway, thanks
  12. okay.... i fixed it! i was reading up on converting to a late model electronic ignition set-up (i still have the points) and i read that the 280zx coil (which i have) was meant to be used without the resistor that the 240z has. anyway, bypassed it and bye-bye problem!
  13. what ignition coil are you using? the reason i ask is b/c i was going through a similar thing. after doing a little reading on converting to an electronic distributor, it was recommended to use a coil from a 280zx.... the thing is that these coils were meant to be used without the white resistor that 240s (and 260s?) used.... anyway, i bypassed this by unscrewing the green wire and screwing it down to the black wire on the other side... problem fixed!

    to my knowledge (which may not be that accurate) the dimensions/chassis of all of the S30s were the same (with the exception of the bumpers, placement of the front turn signals, and taillights) this is of course excluding the 2+2s which were slightly longer with a different roofline. with the exception of the R200 rear end in the later 5-speed 280zs the suspension didn't change.... again, please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong in any point (i'm sure you won't hesitate)

    i kinda like motorsport auto's set-up...
  16. looks sexy!
  17. e_racer1999 replied to AChev's post in a topic in Open Discussions
    that's a nice set-up mike... i might have to use it!

    you're gonna be looking at $100 new or $55 used, but they're out of used ones (zcarparts) i need one too

    if you get ztherapy's 240z tune-up video he covers remounting the choke lever in great detail (as well as a bunch of other useful stuff) i highly recommend you get that video

    the only reason i was thinking of going stainless was cause my dad has access to it... ya, so more than likely i'm going with the kit....
  21. e_racer1999 replied to e_racer1999's post in a topic in Body & Paint
    nah, it's 1.5 feet... crazy huh? well, i'm either going to get the floorpan kit from one of the various internet sites ($250 - $360) or work with my dad to fabricate a stainless steel floorpan and frame rail set... then, of course, i will POR 15 and rubber coat the bottom (and top) i was just hoping to save a wee bit of money and do something that wouldn't take up a few weekends!

    well, i was reading through MSAs specials book and i came across this. since i have about a 1.5' rust gash in my pass side floorpan, i was considering getting this as opposed to getting the replacement floorpans (i don't have a welder). anyone ever used this? also, i'm gonna post a pic of my floorpans to see if it would be pointless
  23. jeez, i'm on a roll! thanks
  24. hmm... i don't know what's going on, but take it easy. i appreciate all of the 411 that you gave me
  25. ^^ so do you have the square header on your round port head? how well is that working for you if you do, 'cause that's what i plan on doing (round head, square header)
