hey all, i recently pulled my L28 SC from my z to begin my v8 swap. it's the jim cook racing / JCR supercharger setup i've been running since 1992! i'm selling the entire setup, intake [fits under stock hood] supercharger, drive pulley, driven pulleys [there are 3, 3lbs, 4.5 lbs and 5 lb boost], braided ss oil lines, custom fab'd alum polished air intake, holley projection 4 computer, fuel pump, serpentine belt, instruction manual, wiring harness. this engine made 173 rwhp and 173 rwtq on a mustang dyno at only 5 lbs boost [this means it's at least 200 at the wheels for most other dynos as the mustang's read low]. with more boost [ken believes it's good for at least 9 lbs] and a competent engine management system we estimate it could make 300 rwhp. i ran it at track day at watkins glen during the 05 z convention and many in attendence can attest to it's great sound and strong power curve. i'm finally ready to part with it, so if you're interested in a very unique approach to kicking it up a notch, let me know...pics of this setup in my gallery and on hybridz.org. feel free to email as i have more pics of this system on my z! david -
hmmm, sure i'll broker you my friends new 350 for...let's say...hmm, ahh, how about, well.... sorry, i couldn't resist. anyway, i don't know of any local rental companies that even rent the 350z. i'd suggest that you do a search for a syracuse [i'm in rochester, about 1.5 hours away] for sports car rental companies and see if you can locate anyone. david bummer that the 26th Z won't be able to make it!!

THANKS-got it!!

hey all, this weekend we [the z convention board] decided to create an incentive to continue to drive registration! here's how it works; the club that has the greatest total number of registrants between the time registration opened [back about 2 months ago] until july 15th will win $250 cash for their club!! no strings, catches or anything-EXCEPT this is NOT open for the NY clubs! so, what's my point here...i think u know-get to the website, print the forms, fill them out, write that check [yes, we'll have paypal access...soon!] and send it in-BEFORE July 15Th!! david

a quick update on the events calendar. for both the track day [hot lappers] and autocross events we have a limited number of spots available. track hot lap can accomodate 80, we have approximately 58 remaining. auto-x max is 60, about 50 left there. warm or parade laps at watkins glen, we can accomodate whomever would like to participate-so come on up. i wanted to, as track day co-chair, give everyone ample notice of the limits. i'd register early so you can guarantee your spot! yes, i already have mine...

hey all, we're ready and geared up for the 2005 international z car convention. we've appropriately named it the "great northeast z adventure!" full details and registration forms are now available at: www.zccaconvention.com highlights: great upstate ny wine country and the finger lakes area, peoples choice and nationally judged car show, hot and warm lapping at the famous watkins glen international [wgi], autocross, lining up historic z cars [working on z cars #6 & #8 to show as well as carl beck's bre rallye car-currently under restoration], and much more! spots are limited for both the hot laps [drivers school] and auto-x, so don't delay or you may not get in. i personally look forward to zeeing everyone here in upstate ny this august. by the way, if you know of a z related business that would benefit by partnering with us to sponsor this event, please let me know! thanks, david _________________ David A.

i had the same opinion about dwyane until i began to put myself in the producer/directors seat. hmm, i'd want to create a show that had; good talented guy, bad guy, quiet guy, loudmouth we all boo at, etc. i always wonder about these so called "reality" shows. they only let us see [the show] what they want which can ultimately twist the story into whatever the producer/writer/director wants. the rest winds up as they say on the editing room floor. i purchased my compomotive wheels from www.usacomp.com. compete custom fit in a nice 17 x 8.5" size, no spacers, no flares, tucked under the stock fenders with my coilovers.

i'd also look to swap in a 74.5-76 fi fuel baffled fuel tank. hate to have your newly fi'd z fuel starve, get some air into the lines and lean out, possibly cooking the engine. the above listed tank will fit perfectly into the 240z's. most of the v8 swap guys are doing the same thing to avoid engine damage.

thanks for the kind words...the video was at least as much fun to do as it is to watch!

my turn-i've always loved cars and lusted after the z at first sight. david palermo, married [happily!] 14 years, age 43, 2 kids-7 & 9, 2 mistresses in the garage. my first love-the 73 [1tuffz] which is awaiting an ls1/t56 transplant and the 83 [the kids call it the family z] zx 2+2 turbo 5spd. i'm prez of the z car club of rochester, ny and keep busy as a certified financial planner [cfp]. spent time in the army as a helo mech, uh1h medevac helo pilot then in the corps as a kc130 driver. i've been autocrossing since i bought my first z in 84 and have enjoyed numerous track days as well-at my home track of watkins glen. side note-my personal invite to all you track enthusiasts-come on up for the 05 convention, i'm track day co-chair and i personally guarantee our track day at watkins glen is going to be a blast! i've run through a total of 14 z cars, some drivers, some parts cars-loved them all. i enjoy working out [want to look good in the casket], it seems now days to mostly keep up with the kids! my wife ann is extremely tolerant of my z habit as our garage attic and what the kids named "the locked room" downstairs, house many old z parts. but as a friend mother-in-law told his wife once; "men need toys, if they don't have toys they have mistresses...you choose"! heck, instead of surfin' z stuff or in the garage [when the temperature allows-only 5 below zero currently] wrenchin' on the mistresses [see above] i could be out on the town...

Almost new, Nitto Extreme NT555's-245.45.zr17's front, 275.40zr17's rear. There is absolutely no curb rash on any of the 4 wheels and they are in like new condition. Bad-one [the one shown in pic] of the wheels has 2 small scratches in the silver paint on 2 of the spokes. This package is off a friends 1990 300zx twin turbo.

mike, i don't have all the locks out yet [glovebox, doors, hatch & ign] but they all appear to be in good shape. there's some surface rust on the ign face. the keys are like new. i haven't gotten to the heater control panel, but it looks like it's going to clean up nice. the last one i sold on ebay went for $140-but that was awhile ago.

hey all, just acquired a new parts car. it's a 72 240z. 40,300 actual miles. the car was purchased in taiwan by a navy serviceman, shipped back here to ny in 77 and driven in one of our winters-then parked. the oxidation process slowly did it's job and left the exterior in a decrepid state. the interior is fairly untouched. perfect dash, console, near new fuse block & cover, original working radio [i tested it last nite] and mint faceplate, heater control panel, interior panels, dome light, map light, lock set [with both original keys]. i'm slowly removing all the useable parts, then bringing them into my basement where i'll clean them up and...sell most to support my own z habit. need any parts, shoot me an email. i'd rather not ship the dash but...
