CAUTION!!! Not all agents will tell you everything, and not all agents know everything. I used to work for an insurance company and it was amazing how many customers would call and have no idea what insurance coverage they did and didn't have. They constantly told me that the agent just sold them what he said they needed and they didn't questions it but when they got hit by an uninsured/underinsured driver and found that they were not covered they were shocked! Your best bet is to read the ENTIRE POLICY, BEFORE signing it and paying any money!! You must watch out for yourself and not rely on the insurance agent to do it all for you. Ask questions if you are confused or do not understand and if you are uncomfortable with the answers or not confident in the agent's answers call the underwriting department for that company and ask them.

Awww come on MikeW...get that UPS for the TiVo...that little guy will thank you for it...both of mine have and they show it by still recording even if the power is out.

1) No, I don't have one of these companies yet I have my Z on my Allstate policy with my other autos. 2) Don't know, for the same reason as #1. 3) Lie. But if you get caught, which typically happen during a claim, they will not pay out and will also non-renew your policy. It's a bad idea and not recommended but the only way around it I see unless you have a friend/relative with a garage that will let you use it or pay for a garage style storage unit (not an open air parking storage like I have for the parts car and trailer).

You bidding on the one on eBay for sale? I've been watching it but will not be bidding. I had the same questions though. I have heard of this swap but never seen any write-ups on it. kmack, do you have any input? I know that you talked about doing this swap.

Does nobody have this on TiVo who is willing to put it on a VHS for me? INF, how about you...I could even pick it up from you here in town?

I second that. Proper torque is preferred.

NO! You can get a used stock hatch for $50-100 depending upon condition, and a fiberglass hood for a bit over $100. So $1000 for a light-weight hatch is really high IMHO. I paid $1500 for my '70 240Z to put this in perspective even more.

I've been patiently and quietly waiting to know how much you want for them for weeks. We had a discission about them on PM.

I was wondering this myself the other day when I saw this auction. I still have no idea.

"Women are NOT for Decoration"....certainly not the one holding the sign!!! :tapemouth I'm assuming that she's protesting Hooters....funny thing is that I know plenty of women that like going there...my wife loves their hot wings.

In the US I have seen them sell for as little as $200 on up to $300 for the part...then add shipping to where ever. These are used parts of course. As for junk yards...I was hot on the search last month and they were not available any cheaper. Most junk yards only had complete LD28 engines and would not part them out, they wanted to sell the entire engine. But I did find one that was selling the engine for $200 so I convinced them to pull the crank and sell it to me for the same price leaving them some additional parts they could still sell. These little gems are rather tough to find and when you do locate one they hold a nice high price tag on them.

I didn't have a metric socket large enough (it's larger than a 24mm) so I used a 1 1/16 socket on mine. Hope this helps.

Yes, you're right...you can not remove it with what you have done. I recently pulled the crank pulley from a 240Z with that AC pulley and found that the AC pulley is not only attached to the main crank pulley with those two small bolts but it us also under the crank pulley bolt. So you must remove the crank pulley bolt (get an impact wrench, I had to remove the radiator to get my impact wrench in there) then the AC pulley will just fall off. Then you can replace the crank pulley bolt. See this thread for a discussion on removing the crank pulley bolt. Easier solution, leave the AC pulley alone.

Where are you located?

Impact wrench! This is the only way I have had any luck. However with the engine still in the car I had to pull the radiator to get my impact wrench in there.

Ok, so for those of us who do not get that chanel is there anyone willing to recorder this show and send me a video tape?

I wasn't sure which forum to put this in... I wanted to find out what Z cars have the gear reduction starters in them?

The local Z wiz has told be before that 750RPMs is the correct idle speed.

Wanna see pix of this done to a 350Z? Check this out!! This car was at the Z car show in Sept. here in Texas. http://www.pape.ws/gallery/2004_Capital_of_Texas_Z_Car_Show?page=1

Courtesy Nissan by any chance?

I have a few questions: Can anyone tell me what size flywheels the different Z cars have? Also, how interchangeable are they? How do you determine what flywheel you should install (i.e. based upon engine block, tranny model, etc)? And how do you determine what clutch you need to buy (i.e. based upon engine block, tranny, flywheel, etc)?

Here's Rebello's website: http://www.rebelloracing.com/ There is also a place in GA call Sunbelt Racing that is supposed to be good and they do the 3.1L strokers as well: http://www.sunbeltperformance.com/

Yes. Major PITA I'm sure.

Yes, now that I sit back and look at it I'm wondering what I am thinking...trying to get all this done this fall/winter. :stupid: I wold tend to agree with you about the engine bay color but there are a couple things I'm working with here, one is the protection of the area and with POR-15 I should never have to deal with the engine bay again. The second is that I'm not any where near ready to paint the car so I can't do the engine bay very well; and I'm not pulling the engine again just to paint the area. Now as for any other feedback....does anyone have any???

No replies. Does this mean that everyone sells them for about the same price?
