Some of you mentioned about the price of the Barracuda from the Wall Street Journal article as I recall. Well here's a real life example of how high these get...and it's still climbing!! :eek: :surprised http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4505947525&category=6409

I am in need of a series I tail light wire harness (the part the bulbs go in). It does HAVE to be from a series I as I just found out the connectors are different, the series I connectors are considerably larger than those on the 240Z made from '71-'73. I need one but would gladly buy the pair if necessary. I need this part ASAP! And am willing to pay for priority shipping. I failed inspection and found that someone has totally hacked, trashed, and ruined one of my tail light harnesses and this appears to be the cause of the problem.

Sorry just pointing out what will be noticed by any Z fan at a show or when pix of the car are shown around.

Except for the electric wires going to the ignition that wouldn't otherwise be there at all.

Rear engine slinger??? I've never heard of such a thing...but hey, I know know every part on these by any means. Can you give me a description and maybe a pic of it?

You just missed one on eBay that ended a couple days ago for $77...then again so did I. :tapemouth $%^#%^*&@& :tapemouth

GREAT VIDEO!! Anyone happen to have downloaded the second video from the other thread mentioned above? That link appears to be dead and I'd like to see it too.

I just found this great site where you can buy one state-side all up to the US standards and legal...for a price of course. You can even order engines/parts from them!! http://www.motorex.net/skyline.html#

It's his business, not mine...I told him what I thought and left it at that.

If you live in AR and went to Nebraska for the car what the hell were you doing in MI? Dude, you got totally lost and went the wrong way! Hope your foot didn't hit the road when it went through the floor!! Get some sleep Bill, it sounds like you will need it to begin doing all the work this car needs. I wish that this had spell check in it, some posts are very tough to read.

WTF!? Did you look at the pix? We're not talking about distance Bill.

I have a Yat-Ming here on my desk and like it...then again it's the only die-cast I have seen so I can't really compare it to the others.

Yes I did. I'll try PM.

You have email!

My tail light and brake light fuses keep blowing. I have put in the proper 20A fuses but they get really hot and blow immediately. Any thoughts?

Agreed on all points! I'd never do this myself; then again I have a pickup and trailer at my disposal and he didn't.

It was on a trailer that was placed as close to the door of the car as possible (about 8" away) and one guy in the car on one end of the engine lifting and pulling and a second guy on the trailer at the other end of the engine lifting and pushing. Moved it a few inches with each go at it and it only took about 5 minutes to get in there once the proper method was determined. He did tie it down with some rope so that it wouldn't end up on the front seat. :eek:

he'll be "drivin the procelin bus tonight" he'll be "whorshipping the procelin god tonight" lit

Here's a nice example of just how far one of our members is willing to go to get a new engine for his Z. The story is that he just moved from Houston to Austin and shortly before doing so he had put a junk yard engine in his Z. Now that engine has died and the car is in Houston. Enter me. I had a complete running engine for sale but it was in Austin and his only car between he and his wife was now a Neon. Hmmm...how to get a Z engine from Austin to Houston when the only mode of transportation is a Neon.... Take a look at these pix for the answer! Suprisingly it wasn't all that hard to get in there...I can't say about getting it out as that was not part of the deal.

What is that? I have a 240Z so I'm not farmiliar with this part. On the label it seems to indicate that it has to due with the fuel delivery in some way.

I need some help identifying the parts in the attached pix. They should have all come off of a '82 280ZX non-turbo but since I'm not into those I just don't know what these are (plus I didn't pull them, they came with a lot of parts purchased from a buy stripping his car). The last two pix are the same part but I zoomed in on the label.

That sorry arse seller! I have been working with him on this part for two weeks and he has obviously sold it. You did get what I feel is a good deal on the part!! Congrats.

Say, thanx guys!! I was telling someone at work about these today and wanted to share the links with him.

That's cool, I really thought you were directing that at me since you quoted me and all which rubbed me the wrong way since I had never implied those things. All's good now.

Wasn't there a thread a while back talking about 5.0L Miatas? I have searched and still could not find it.
