WingZr0

Ha Ha , Thanks. Yeah I know that company at least, it's called Ozark isn't it? I Used to work for Raleys and was the guy who let the trucker in and sit back and watch as he did all the work bringing in the stuff. A good excuse to take a Break! . But they sure get paid for It I'm told.

Thanks Man I take it your a trucker too huh? Yeah, ima try and get based out of Sac but I have to do 30 days local runs around here then shipped off to Salt Lake Sorry, Utah for 30 to 60 days after that for training with a Owner/Lease Operator to see if thats something I want to do. I like to but I don't know about those gas expenses. Whats you handle bro? I'm thinking of going with either Z Man or Snow Man . Oh BTW that time I spent at Smell Hound on the phone the first time I got there, was 3 and a half hours.

Man I miss my Z, and more importantly the lady friend I like Think I'll call just to hear a friendly voice. Welp, school's heck of easy here and got my permit, start practiceing driving at the yard on Monday and do the drive test next Friday. Ship off the boys off to the Holiday Inn last night but I and the other Van Driver got stuck here at the Red Tile Inn till Mondy so we can bus over all the new guys to class so two of them can take the driving duties then me and the other guy will start the same gig at the Holiday Inn. I only valuntered to be a van driver cause Smell Hound aka Grey Hound lost my luggage at Sacramento and I wanted to go get my stuff. And that bag had all my cloths in it! Told the bus driver my bag had no tag on it, "he says set it down I'll take care of it". I say again that it has no tag on it, he repeats, "set it down I'll take care of it". Long story short I ended up wearing the same stuff I got on the bus with for 3 DAYS !! ! ! A T-shirt, jeans, my vintage Blue 1970's Union 76 Gas Station Shirt, socks and the shoes I had on my feet. When my bag finally arrived and I got back to the hotel room when I took my shoes off and my socks smelled like Corn Chips on Crack ! Took a shower and came out feeling 80 pounds lighter now that the crust was off me gone :paranoid: Yeah, he put a tag on it, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION ON IT. Didn't ask my name, where I was going or anything. And for the record EVER SINGLE Smell Hound Station has a "direct line or emergency number" where when you call they have to answer. I got into San Bernidino and saw that my stuff was gone and they told me it was in L.A. Got the LA bus station number at the ticket counter and the phone just rung and rung then the voice automated lady picked up then I pressed #3 for the baggage Dept. and it just rung and rung again then the automated lady said "that person is not availible at this time" and went back on loop to the main menu. After trying baggage and all the other departments for the next 30 minuts with the exact same results I went hung up and went back to the ticket guy for another number and he said that was the only number he had, mind you that was a LOS ANGELOS BUS STATION OF ALL PLACES! So anyway after calling Smell Hounds 1-800 number I got a 2nd number and got the same results as the 1st, same menu and everything and no one answered. Gave up after 10 minutes and called 800 again, "all I got is those 2 numbers sir". Called back the L.A. number, still no answer. 20 minutes later called 800 again, "I got only two numbers sir, this number and another number here sir." The other number was a third new number, mind you Smell Hound reps only have 1 or 3 numbers at most and ALL of them have mix matchs of any of them. So I called the third number, this time it just rings. I hang up call back and it rings again, so I let it ring for 10 minuts and NO ONE PICKS UP ! ! ! Call 800 AGIAN, "Those are the only numbers I have sir". I tell her that both those I already tried and no one's answering, "Sorry sir but those are the only numbers I have." I notice my phone only has 2 bars, guess where my charger is. . . . Hang, up call back 800, "I have this number and this number and another one." I tell thats a new one and ask if thats all the numbers she has, she says yes. Hang up and call the new number and get the same menu agian! Called 800 and got a 4th number and got another line that only keeps ringing! Then I look over at the Brotha man who saw my bag was not on the bus and he tels me that theres a number where if you call the have pick up and just ask the ticket guy for it, but of course he says he only has that one number. 5 more 800 reps later, 5 useless numbers I finally get hold of a lady who actualy knows what I'm talking about. I call that number and sure enough 3 rings later the baggage guy picks up, looks and says its's not there. I told him I came through Sacramento and he says that Sacramento was another spot where they take off bags with no tags on it. So I catch the cab to the hotel already knowing dang well I'm going to go through the same thing trying to get hold of Sacramento's bus station as I did with L.A. And my stuff wasn't going to arrive till tommorow anyway cause it's a 13 hour trip and thats even if it was there. Spent 30 buck on a new charger and a extra 10 just to detour to a Verizone store to get there. Got to the hotel rome charged the phone and sure enough 2 and a half hours, 5 phone numbers more and 6 1-800 reps later I finally get through to Sacramento and they have my stuff! Said it will go out 11pm that night and arrive at 9am. I said cool, went to class at 4am got at out 3pm, got to the station at 6pm and no bag! Called L.A. again (direct line) it ain't there. Called Sac ain't there! What do you mean it ain't there?, "Well it didn't got out at 11pm cause the baggage department is closed then so it went out on the 8am bus and will arrive 9pm. Same ticket counter guy was there and said that the next bus from LA was at 9 that night. Came back still no bag. The dang Sac bus was running late and missed the connecting bus in LA. Got my bag the 3rd day after class and the same ticket guy must of saw me with my head turned talking to a guy cause soon as I wlked in he had my bag already in his hand looking at me across the way, Finally ~! Finally got my draws after wearing the same ones 3 days. My Union 76 Shirt is all Brown stainded ring around the colar and needs dry cleaning now , nah but really :mad: . So if your thinking of taking Smell Hound, DON'T Take AMTRAK. Heh Blake you wanna met up next Sunday? I may have some time off this Sunday but I'll let you know. Right now I'm in Colton just 5 miles up the freeway till Monday at the Red Tile Inn. Then they'll move me to the Holiday Inn on Haven Street up on Interstate 15 I think is what that freeways called. Anyways looking forward to meeting you Bro ~Z~

Nah, cool thing is is that we get all certifed at the yard and then just go down to DMV and show them we're certifed and they hand us our CDL (Commercial Drivers License). Yes we do have to do a drive test but not by DMV thank gawsh, they're way stricter than being watched by folks we already know and like Oooooo K, I'll take your word on for it Heard the othere companies sabotage our trucks alot. So yeah, for sure, spit on it. ~Z~

Whats up boys ! I'm in Colton, CA up near Blake up the freeway! Got this trucking thing down. I took the Genereal Knowledge, Combonation and the Air Brake written test and scored a 100%, 92% and 90%, and that was supposed be as homework last night but I forgot to do it and spent 20 minuts befor class started and read the Q's and wrote down all my own answers without cheating mind you. And then took the 2nd version of the test today in class and got 100% a 100% and 94%. Pretty sure I nailed the 3rd version but haven't got the results yet but we're going down to DMV to take the real test in the morning! And the all the pratice test questions are the real questions with the real correct answers on the actual DMV test, but the questions are not in the actual order though. So yeah, EAST BOUND AND DOWN ~ZA~

Welp, I'm leaving tonight. Decided to sell a last little few things on Ebay for I do like my Datsun Rally Jacket . Even listed in the classifieds BTW. My Pops will do the shipping incase anyone thinks someone has hacked into my account. I'll be in touch via cell phone internet though. SOCal HERE I COME ! (Jerry Reed starts Smokey and the Bandit music)

Yeah I already did that myself back in Feb. But the say I have to pay $30 for the drug test AND I guess another physical exame and the DMV testing fee is $60. Sweet, you miss that old feeling huh?

Yeap thats the place. After 90 days I'll have the option to get my own truck and drive where ever I like, so since your so close I'll be sure to drop by on the way home

Now THATSSS Pimp

Awe Thyanx Bro Yeah 90 days is a long time, Just got off the phone with the school and they said come on down. 2 and a half weeks of training then 30 days on the job driving training then 60 days team driving with another trainer cross country. Good news is that after the 2 weeks of training I'm officialy hired with the company but boy it couldn't of come at a worst time. It means ANSA production's on a hold at least to I get to a Sacramento based fleet But at least the pay is good, and it's something I would rather like doing. On the bright side I'll be able to drive by and see more of our fine members here And also haul all the parts we need on the semi, including whole cars

Just curious if any good jobs out there or not. I'm going to a trucking school in So Cal on Monday for C.R. England trucking company near San Bernidino and will by gone for like 90 days, East Bound and Down . If any you guys in the Sacramento, CA area know of some good gigs out there that can beat this let me know Throw out what you got if you do ~Z~

Awsome! Is yours the twice pipe system by chance or single exhaust to ANSA?

Sweet. What are those, Corvette tail lights?

HaHa bolt action rifle. Sick description, gotta feel nice! Congradulations, I see this came togethere in true Hot Rodder fashion .

He ment electrical power right? Not sure what would cause that, interesting.

Got your PM today Dan, Turn around time is 3 weeks . I'll call you with your shipping quote to Canada in the morning.

Hang in there buddy, it will take some time to make even when you have all the parts . But you'll love it when your finished! Most important thing is keeping everything straight and aligned. I must admit theres alot more to it than it looks. You have to seriously Seriously Triple Check everything, every measurement of every angle before you do ANY welding. Having made this first one and fully going through the entire process I can now see the room for a few small finer improvements. If you need pointers give me a ring, I'll be glad to help .

, Glen your awesome! My friend up the street is holding onto #1678 for me, exactly 16 numbers off . And 1222, you are on a role, those are Jackpot numbers!

HAHAHA HA You know it buddy Speaking of witch still ain't heard from that Cat yet but still trying I just hope he's ok. But Thanks, it came out better than expected and dead on according to my measurements. Test fitted on my 280Z and it was perfect with plenty of play/leeway for adjustments on final fitment. And it sure is pretty . ~Z~

Here you go boys, I introduce to you the all new WingZr0 Spec ANSA Twin Stack Exhaust ! :classic: More pics here at photo bucket link ANSA photos click here What do ya think? I'll have it shipped off for Tim Z on Saturday, lucky guy I'm already envious and I'm the one who made the Darn thing . In the photo link you can also see the Chrome extended piece before it was painted Black! And also the all Chrome version with no stickers or decals with Gloss Black inlet pretty much sits now befor adding the last 2 colors of paint . Will finish painting the Red Ribbon and ANSA Orange inlet paint tomorrow now that it has finally warmed up. Inlet size can be made 1.75 inch for stock 240Z/260Z, 2 inch for 280Z or bigger up to 3.5 inches before hitting restriction issues This is the entened version as mentioned earlier and it slides right onto the the stock exhaust line only needing to be welded and bolted on with custom hanger brackets for a better look also as mentioned. Can also do a shorter version to eliminate the S Curve if hanging an all new exhaust line from mid pipe back. This will change the sound alot and probably make it louder but heh... Only need to know your inlet size and preffered "Appearance Package". Now taking orders ! ~Z~

Making the photobucket album now, will have pics up in a few minuts Almost done just 5 more minutes

Marry that girl ! No Seriously, if thats the kind of car she buys you you've got no time to get to the store and get a ring. Take some dental floss, rope or something and lock it down fore someone else beats you .

Was only joking, first time I seen a guy wanting to take a ZG nose off when some will kill to get it . As said that Z is clean though, hope you won bro!

Agreed, keep the Broad . We should all be so lucky . 45 carbs and header with the other stuff. . WHAT A SCORE ! ! Glad to have you here, theres plenty of information here and members knowledgeable in carbs to help you get your Z running. Post some pics.

Stick with the S30 bro. The ZX is essentially the same car as the first gen Z mechanicaly speaking just heavier, a bit slower and more complicated. The performance from what I hear are night and day. If you want a track racer/GT sports car get the first gen Z. If you happen to like the body style and something more of a "sports" cruiser then get the ZX. Just focus on finding a clean rust free Z in your budget no matter what you do and take some one mechanicaly inclined with you to look it over .
