280Z vs. Honda Civic Del Sol......... help
actually.. today.... I walked up to him.. in front of about 7 people.. in this group... and I said... so how's your car running? He turned to me and said.. good.. why? I said... by any chance, do you and your T66 powered Honda want to take on my Z? (i was trying to sound like a hard arse ) Then he said.. uhhh umm.... no.. I don't have the turbo yet... HAHAHA I said... when I talked to you on Thurs. you said you had it.... He said.. noo I thought you said what are you planning on doing.. then his friends were like.. I thought you said you HAD a turbo and NOS.. and then I laughed and walked away.... Embarassed the hell out of him.. and his friends were pissed that he has been tellin em, he has a turbo. So overall... he was too scared to take on my 280Z... and he doesn't have a turbo... and no VTEC.... so.. i'm happy. Happy ending to a crazy story.

Got some new pics :)
that red light is my "Fuel" light... so when I run low on fuel... it lights up... also you can't see it on that pic, since my shoft knob is in the way, but it's like that blue square for my defroster and the one you can't see is for the "Fasten Seatbelts"

value 1977 240z
how many miles are on it? are the tires and engine and tranny still working ok? any rust? exterior ok? paint ok? it all matters... but if he kept it fairly good condition expect to pay between $2,000 to $4,000 depending on the condit.

Opinions on those Clear Headlight Covers... for an Z
just those damn ugly arse brackets are what get me... i figured maybe if I painted the brackets to the color of the car, it would look much much better.... lucky me I have an extra can of persimmon paint and a small paint brush..

Good paint results with a rattle can?
I used about 4 coats of primer, 5 coats of black paint, and about 7 coats of clear coat on my mirrors and they came out GREAT! but mirrors are baby minor things..

280Z vs. Honda Civic Del Sol......... help
well here's the scoop: Today.. at my high school, I overheard some kid saying that he has a turbo kit and nitrous. SO I proceed to kinda walk along side and talk to him about his car as he walks up to his car. I said, you have a turbo? Sweet.. where did you mount the intercooler (since I didn't see one in the front) He says, Greddy I say, no.. where did you mount it? He said "it's all custom GReddy... underneath by the oilpan" I said, "What the **** around talking about.... under the oil pan?" He said, "yeh it sucks up the air from underneath" So i said, "what size turbo?" He said, "T66!" I said holy **** man.... I don't trust the way this sounds.... he opens his door and I proceed to look for instruments.... boost guage, turbo timer, boost controller nothing.... SO.. i said where is your boost guage? he said "it's electronically controlled" i said "what!" no that's your boost controller.. ur boost guage! he doesnt have one... then I said where is your No2 bottle.... it's underneath the car inbetween the 3" dual exhuast for his little 1.6L engine He got in his car with some fine girl and drove off.. I laughed yet was full anger.. that lying sack of ****.. your gonna die. So... when I go back to school monday, I am gonna quiz him.... and offer to race him. Can my '78 280Z AUTOMATIC beat his Honda Civic Del Sol 5-speed? here are the specs on the Honda Del Sol.. i'm not sure if it's VTEC Factory Weight: 2,301 Lbs. ---------------------------------------- 93-95 Del Sol Si D16Z6 125 bhp @ 6600 Redline: 7200 rpm 106 lb-ft @ 5200 ---------------------------------------- 93-95 Del Sol VTEC (EG2) B16A2/A3 160 bhp @ 7600 Redline: 8200 rpm 111 lb-ft @ 7000 ---------------------------------------- So.. since I know he is lying.. I do know he has intake and dual exhuast. Can my 280Z take it? (BTW this will be a track.. not a street race)

bodykit
Ohh $^!# yeah! Finally I have something with some knowledge.... A Nissan Sunny.. wow.. definatly... something no where related to a Z car.. other than being a Nissan. Lots of variants... B12/B13/B14/B15 chassis 1.6L SR16VE engine.... (has VVL- Variable Valve and Lift.. like VTEC but Nissan Style) and in the BASE models.. they have 1.6L GA16DE motors. Then there is the GTiR Sunny.. an AWD beast with the SR20DET! ------------------------------------------------------------ In America it's an Nissan Sentra.... elsewhere it's a Nissan Sunny. or Super Saloon. ------------------------------------------------------------- B12 Sunny B13 Sunny B14 Sunny B15 Sunny WHy is that on there... I have no idea.

The truth about headers.....
well... i think that will be a while till my engine craps out... 107,000 miles..... new gaskets, oil chaged every 3,000 miles, 20W50 heavy stuff...... new injectors...... So... I dunno.. unless someone wants to trade L28e incredible condition... for an L28eT ha.. i wish

The truth about headers.....
i am anti V8 sorry I personally love the L6.. and the sound of an straight 6. Also when I drive my Datsun Z, and when I beat those Civic's, Accords, and non-turbo Eclipses.. I am proud to drive a Nissan... powered by a Nissan.. especially an "pre" Skyline engine. Since the early Skylines did have L28's and what do ya know, many years later.. still straight 6's just with DOHC and Twin Turbo.. ohh baby. Anyway.. I guess I won't get headers overall, since someday, within the next year, I will be getting an L28eT.. and my headers will be useless with a turbo.. duh Thanks for all your help guys
