    man... i was pulling back on my choke handle and it came off in my hand! tried JB welding it but it didn't work too well... anyone??
  3. i believe that he was saying that it works great... if you ever blow a head gasket, when you are replacing it you will notice that your cylinder(s) are friggin clean!
  4. i am going to be interested as well, however not in the very near future. i still need to get my car running right before i invest in any aesthetics. i thoroughly commend you for your project! thank you very much for making nice (better?) pieces, and making them more affordable! as to the question about the g-nose covers, aren't they a completely different shape? i thought the g nose was completely different than the regular front...

    "word the f*ck up"
  7. awesome.......
  8. i was changing the oil because the PO put ATF in there, i was getting some higher viscosity oil in there because i was having a lean condition off of idle. bruce, i am planning on placing my order for the "just SUs" and "tune up" videos later this week. do you still have that deal up where i can get both for like $30?
  9. nology actually has some pretty good wires.... what they don't say is that you have to have a full ignition set-up to actually notice any power increases. spark plug wires alone will not add HP to an otherwise stock engine. unless of course they are yellow and come with stickers, then it's a completely different story!
  10. ^^ yeah, sorry so vague. it's like a little repetitive squeak kinda thing right around the little vacuum thingys (great explanation i know!) on the top of the intake manifold. i don't have photoshop or anything, but it's those 2 vacuum things above the front SU... *edit* "and now for something completely different" (well not really) also, i think one of my carbs is messed up. i was emptying the old damper oil out of them and i noticed that when i pushed down on the piston while it was upside-down, one of them popped back up and one of them didn't. i thought something could be wrong there, and i didn't want to start ANOTHER thread... seems like i've been making a bunch recently...

    while my car is running, it sounds like there is a squeak in the area of the intake manifold. i think it's a vacuum leak or something, maybe a busted diaphram. any ideas? my car isn't really running right which is why i ask... just troubleshooting...

    nevermind... forget this post!
  13. i figured that the 15/16 was a piston measurement, but i decided to be vauge so that i wouldn't be wrong! ... anyway, i was just figuring that a full system swap would be a lot more efficient than a piece-meal kinda job
  14. it should.... the 15/16" is just the measurement of it.... i have a 72 as well and i plan on putting the 15/16" on... i will let you know how it goes, though.

    the registration DOES show the car as being a 1971 and the VIN is circa 1971: HLS30 17965.... my final answer is 1971... and a NICE one at that!

    it wouldn't be able to fit the ram tubes... they are about 1.5 inches just to the tip.... pretty nice set up though.
  17. the 280zx and 240sx are the same caliper. i think the maxima is just about the same as well.... as for cheapest, it depends on how you get it.. junkyard would be all the same price. you are going to need just stock pads and you are going to need the rear disc brake bracket from the '83-84 maxima. you will also have to jiri rig the e-brake cable. if i were you i'd get the 15/16 master cylinder from the 280zx.

    the front resembles the late model 300zx....

    sweet! sounds good to me!

    reviving old post.... the same thing happened to me yesterday, so i was wondering if you had an update?
  21. i went to midas and checked to see what it would cost to do an exhaust system from the header back and they said $400-$500! but that included a flowmaster muffler with all 2.5". as for how to get it away from your tire, did you try adjusting the bracket to pull it away? you may have to jiri-rig it, but i know what a pain it is to have your tire melt off on your exhaust pipe.. *edit... btw, what are the diameters of the pipes? i looked on MSAs website and they didn't say.... also, are you running stock manifold, 3 into 2, or 6 into 1 header? just curious...
  22. what about the change in viscosity when the oil heats up? that could acount for a slightly lower oil pressure...

    mixture adjustment screw UNDER the carbs? i thought it was on the top next to the throat... do you have a pic i can check out?
  24. stoopid 56k... still waiting to hear it! i want to get the twicepipes system but i'm afriad it might be too loud. since i put the k&ns on it's pretty deep when i get on it. **edit** just watched the short one. nice! sounds very yummy. i think i might have to get it!

    check here at motorsport auto: http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=7AD1 i am personally going to get the 4th or 5th one; the fiberglass or urethane with brake cooling ducts. as for what rims, i have my 15x7 AREs (you can check out my pics) and i like them a lot. otherwise, i'd check out some panasports... they always look good. now the louvres: i personally don't care too much for them aesthetically, but getting into a hot car at the end of the day brings the thought into my mind that they might be a good thing.. just my .02
