    This yard near me wants 2-300 and I would have to pull it.

    What did you have to give for a maxima head? I have one local but I think he wants too much
  3. 5$ a month would probably do it. I don't ever see any of these ads... The price of an overpriced coffee, maybe less!
  4. Who did you send it to and where exactly?
  5. The spots welds are not uniformly spaced. A good light helps find the dimples where the spot welds are. A putty knife will also show where they are
  6. Pretty car! Will be interesting to see what a 6500 mile 79 ZX brings
  7. If you pay careful attention when drilling, you can tell when you have drilled through the first layer. Sometimes there will be a dark little rust line between sheets. Yeah, don't drill all the way through if possible. ⅜ should be fine. Sometimes I use a putty knife or a painters 5 way tool to finish separating layers

    So you are missing the thick bent brackets. Do you have a torch and a way to shape them? I can probably provide dimensions
  9. Its 5 o'clock somewhere!

    @esmit208 Haven't heard from you in a while, hope you're ok. C
  12. Nantahala Too funny! That waters cold too
  13. So how does fresh water rinse work? Do you have a fresh water line coming to the unit and a nozzle inside or are you picking clear water up from a tank on the unit? A lot of the units Ive seen seem to have an on board fresh water supply
  14. I would take an open title to mean he has the title signed by somebody else and he has never registered it. Bought it and is flipping it with out registering it?
  15. Clean garage!!! What the heck is that???
  16. If they did a thorough job you wont be able to find any original color. Up high behind the dash on the firewall would be one of my first places to look

    Cody made a puller today. The OTC bearing splitter has 5/8-18 threaded holes. I went by our local fastener supply and got a section of hardened rod and some nuts and washer and a piece of flat stock from Depot. It will pull to 20"s depth... We used a center arbor from another puller that was 5/8-18 too.
  18. Nope, Nissan can't tell you to the best of my knowledge. Best chance is to look for areas that were missed when stripped

    I agree. I will stay involved. You just need a huge surge to make a difference a person here or there isn't going to do it

    Why would any good moral person want to submit themselves and their family to the political process??? I know of several good people that have gone to Washington to only be frustrated by not being able to effect change and the self dealing gravy train that is Washington DC. If your fellow party member comes to you for support on their bill and you say ok where do I go to read it? Read it?!?!? they say Then you get the rep as not being a team player! No committee appointments, no re-election money. Banished to the coat closet. They literally want you to vote for something because a fellow D or R proposed it. Not because you read it and it sounded like a good idea. The real kicker is you could throw all 545 out tomorrow and in very short time you would be right back here because of lobbying and the unelected bureaucrat. I know it's a broke system but if you made me king tomorrow I'm not sure I would know how to fix it. "...this form of government is only suitable for a moral people. It will work with no other..." Do you really believe DC is filled with moral people??
  21. That's actually not a bad deal on a stronger transmission kit
  22. I sent the link to Cody. He wanted to build a 510 track car. He'll want to buy this now...

    Yes, I had considered using that EFI when we ditch the carbs. Provided it will flow enough air. I might have it extruded honed. What motor was it off of again? Good point on the heavier clutch but we'll be making more power so a larger surface area seems to make sense. I plan on using a lighter flywheel so the net weight should be better. I will run a two row main pulley so we can run AC in the car. We have a factory AC setup when we get to it. Dave put us onto all of this when I told him I wanted to run AC. He mentioned we would have to move the alternator to make it all line up.

    We did verify that 240z water pump fits the L20b timing cover. The flywheel also fits. Is there any reason we cant use a 240z flywheel and clutch set up?
  25. @SteveJ It would be interesting for him or you to start a thread for him. Post up some before and afters. It really needed a lot of work. It had been sitting in the grass for years and that really destroys the underside
