Man why bother when you can use a tool like this! http://www.geocities.com/z_design_studio/

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure where you figured I was saying this when you quoted me but I insinuated no such thing in any way! Please do not attack people on this forum when you have no basis.

Check NADA, it's a fair value I think but only if you don't have tons of cash into your Z in upgrades and restore expenses. Allstate has something like this also, my agent told me that their guidlines were a lot like Hagerty's.

The guy I talked to at Hagerty or Grundy (can't remember which) told me that I could never drive it to work (I asked because I do this a couple times a year on a really nice day) but in the same sentence he also said that they really don't know where you are driving to or from. This comes down to one's own integrety, ethics, and morallity. You can drive it to work or the store and if something does happen lie about what you were doing but you'd better make sure the story is solid and any police report reflects what you tell the insurance company. Now at this point you may be committing a crime by falsifying a police report and certainly committing insurance fraud. If you are caught you'd better believe you will pay the price. A huge number of people get away with this kind of thing every year...but do you really want to risk being one of the ones who gets caught? Just my 2cents worth.

And who's your policy with? I spoke with Hagerty and they will not cover the car at all if you ever use it to race.
