  1. I bought the one for a four door Camry, it's huge. So at least a size smaller, maybe two sizes?
  2. I been down that road also. I ended up replacing everything except the hard fuel lines from the rear to the engine bay. If bought another one today the first thing I would do is put a clear filter between the tank and the fuel pump. Fram G3s are $3. Here's the details; http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm You'll be able to see if you have particles in there from a trashy tank. You probably need a $10 fuel filter up front behind the radiator on the passenger's side fender too, it can't hurt if you haven't already replaced it.
  3. All you have to do is kick it when it gets low and it'll spray for about another minute, repeat. Mine is new so I can't say what'll it'll do next time but from my experience the last 2 days is that if you fill it half way it'll spray heavy for a few minutes then it starts pulsing for a few more minutes then it's just air, that's when a gentle kick gets it spraying again. I'd say it's about a fourth full or less when you need to start shaking or kicking. Next time I'll tie a rope around my knee and the top handles, sorta like a one man band will do. Mine only needs shaking when it's low on media, but for the price it's not perfect, although I didn't have any "crisis" moments. Results: This is what's left,
  4. You need "atlanticz tech tips". Google it and look under "efi and fuel". I'm using my phone now, sorry I cant link it for you.
  5. That's funnier than hell! I put one foot on top and sit on a milk crate. Thought about using some rope. Like I said, it takes patience! Back to it.
  6. Those are nice! Dear Santa...
  7. I got an AutoCraft like this for about $65 for outside. Universal sized so I got the large, it fits all my cars. I leave my 280 outside and it keeps it dry. EASY ON THE WALLET, for sure.
  8. I hate to be lazy, I know it's somewhere in these 24 pages, but what'd you do for the outside engines bolts? Buy new or have your's replated? Thanks for any help, Cliff.
  9. I was going to buy a small igloo styled tent, $25 from Academy Sports, and sit inside to keep the mess down but to be honest it's not as bad as I thought. I'm okay losing a little. I put the parts inside the biggest plastic storage tub I had and put that in the middle of a 10x12 tarp, fold the tarp and poured that inside the tub. Scooped it out and put it back into the sandblaster. The blaster sprays my particular media for about 1 minute, then you just shake it back and forth and it starts right back up. It doesn't make any kind of "floating" dust, to my surprise. The heavier stuff like coal slag and sand will wear it out and make a bigger mess. This one is for parts that'll fit inside the plastic tub. I'm using 1 lb Cool-Whip bowls for scooping and figure I lost between 1 and 2 pounds (very little). So the results minus the PITA, plus I'll have to replace the valves sooner or later, I'll say 4 out 5 stars for the money. It requires some patience but beer helps.
  10. It says glass beads but it's more like pulverized glass, 80 grit. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/black-bulltrade%3B-no-80-grit-abrasive-glass-beads I did it in a big plastic tub and only lost a few pounds. Did it on top of a tarp too, folded it up and poured that into the tub then filtered it back into the pot. I think there's a pound in my eyes and hair. I'll wear the hood tomorrow for sure.
  11. Is Chas, Eurodat, the only one using Nissan Fast software? I use the microfische on carpartsmanual.com but am thinking about downloading the Fast program. If there's an online searchable version I'd love to know, that's a huge download for my already full laptop.
  12. Does anybody elses wipers lift off the windshield at high speeds? I must need new springs in the arms.
  13. $48 plus $32 for media that I'm reusing. Gotta get it dialed in mo betta but it's going to work good for my minimum use. EDIT: Sorry for the sideways pics, couldn't get my Bluetooth to transfer pics from my phone to my PC. That's a problem for another day. Intakes and balance tube tomorrow.
  14. That's my life! I've got a $7,500 lawn mower and my yard looks just like my neighbors.
  15. When I rebuilt my 2.8 with cast iron rings, the temperature gauge let me know when it was broken in. It ran a lot cooler. I know there's no hills in Florida so what are you doing for the decelerating pressure build up? Parking decks? I went to a wedding in Blue Mountain. We laughed about that name. My machinist is the only one laughing now. I'm about to pull my hair out waiting on him.
  16. Looks good! About as deep as my E31, eeks from me too until I opened up the chambers for the valves. These worked good for me,
  17. I've got a greenish grey one too but it just has "YEC" stamped in it, aluminium contacts. Your's could be original.
  18. Flat push on retainers for connecting it to the lense. Like these. EDIT: You can see the white plastic on the middle post in that picture. 2nd EDIT: Don't forget to paint the inside with white spray paint. Thanks Dr 240Z.
  19. That's what mine looked like after I twisted it loose. I think it's the same plastic just missing the chrome coating.
  20. I've bought two sets from Direct Tire. Look for sales around holidays, Fathers Day possibly. You can get the same lug nuts off e-bay for $15 instead of paying them $45. EDIT: They fit my '77 280 also
  21. I used these after grinding down the sides so they would fit. Bought them at a chain hardware store. I didn't buy new trim, just polished up a set but ran into that same problem after I separated the lense from the body. Just an FYI.
  22. I'd pay $100 for that. I've spent $100 on some things I don't even remember the next day. LMFAO!
  23. Are you going to use the E88 header or get a new one? Ive read square covers round ports but not vice versa and was wondering for future head swaps.
  24. Your second picture looks like one of the pistons out of a boat motor I locked up. Pieces of the rings gouged holes like that.
