it does seem hard to believe that a car with 20k and ive seen them with 60k and look better inside then that one does. i agree with keith also this is to funny about storing the car in the winter, in miami where its now or was today 78 degrees. god i wish i had to deal with that

under normal driving conditions then by all means drive on. as long as it isnt pulling or darting id go along with it and forget the alignment. where i used to work we would take cars in for struts and the like and do an alignment check on the car after we were done. if it wasnt needed none was performed and the owner only paid for the check of the alignment which was usually 19.99

well looked at the car i thought was going to be my new Z. only 2 good things to say about it. one was of course the mikunis, the other was the body but the floors were rotted and a shitty job of replacing them was done. needless to say i was quite disgusted. also the engine has the worst valve train noise ive ever heard, not to mention the the bottom end sounds like its about to fall out. i was very sad today. the only good thing about the whole trip was getting to hear the sound of those tripples. can still say it today. theres nothing in the world that sounds that good

and concidering you have a silver car i think these enkies i had shown you before would look really nice. http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-24.html they also just now it seems have a set of 14x7 polished slotted wheels, the ar kidney style with Z center caps for sale now, they look really good in the pic too. heres the link, if your wanting to keep a set of slots on your car then i would say these are quite nice. http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-29.html Eric is also willing to haggle a little on the price too, so you may get them a bit cheaper. good luck james

but i have dealt with the guys at www.suspension.com and i have always had nothing but good things to say about them ie shipping pakaging and delivery. very freindly and customer oriented. i have bought 5 kits from them. always the right kit everytime and always great service. not syaing we should turn away from the Z specific vendors. but if you dont buy from the others that do have parts still available for our cars well guess what they will no longer stock them. what does that get you, one less source to buy parts from

i am a mechanic and i work on my own car but if i took it to a shop and things like that were going on someone would be paying dearly this is for certain. i remember when i wen to get tires on my Z. the guy stars to lift the car with a jack at the pinch weld i ran out into the bay and was flipping. the owner says you cant be out here. i informed the owner in not such a nice way that unless he wanted a hefty body repair and paint bill due to his careless workers, he would let me direct them on how to care for my car. there is no way and i mean NO WAY that i would stand for service like that, grease prints, destroying my personal property. heh if i were to do that at any of the places i worked at i would be sure to be fired.

saw the 280ZX wheels they are alright with the right look on a car. but he wants a lot for them. hell if you want those ill sell you a set of five, though i only have two polished for 200. they are not a bad wheel but i dont think they look to good on a Z. fstr240Z, good catch on the 280 for a grand though those wheels no offense are:sick: heh i never did like that they wanted to make truck wheels for the Z . id only use them if i had too. good luck with whatever you decide there burt. hope that you find what your looking for. james

with different style revo wheels http://revolutionwheels.com/images/Revolution_Wheels.JPG http://revolutionwheels.com/images/Wallace_Burkett_260_Z_front.jpg

they are not that expensive and if i find the right site they have had them on sale and i think they still are. they are great looking wheels and there are more to choose from at this site http://revolutionwheels.com/ good luck james

heres a set of libra wheels http://zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-25.html enkie mesh wheels look great too pictured on a Z http://zparts.com/showcase/datfest99/99r8f01_m.jpg heres a set of revolution wheels on a Z very nice also http://zparts.com/showcase/datfest99/99r8f14a_m.jpg thats just a little bit of food for you to chew on hehe

has a 280ZXT stroked with a T-5 and well lets just say lots of work. in any event hes putting 400+ to the ground. this is a daily driver too. ill find his web page and post it if you like almost forgot, with the stock internals and fuel management 250-275 is not very far out of reach at all for the ZXT motor

and at about 3500 for all thats done if its proven with reciepts is a very good deal for a little bit of work that you would have to put into it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2404401391&category=6187

depends on who your selling it too. i have owned V-8 Zs never a 240 though. honestly imo if you have a good clean example of a early 240Z, then i would keep it that way. it will be worth moer. but at the same time you have others that prefer a modified, v-8 Z and the like. if i were going to do anything to it for more power i would use a 280ZXT engine. that way it stays nissan

i can get you a 280ZXT motor for 350 with everything but the harness it was cut so if that gives you an idea

has to contend with the womans miniature yorkshire terrier me personally i would much rather have a rhodesian ridgeback i think they are a most beautiful animal heres a link to pics of one if no one knows what they look like http://wintermute.unh.edu/ridgeback/more/Amali/index.html

if like 2 many says there arent any hidden surprises

like you said when you hooked up the NEW battery BOOSTER you were giving the battery all the power it should have stored for when you go to start the car. i would tend to agree with mike on this one

QUOTE "ps...You're going to get a whole buncho of people calling you stupid and idiotic for considering FI as it is a stupid idea that is 'untunable' and 'unmodifiable' and 'weak' and "why bother" when you can put on carbs or triples and get "ten times the power for ten times less money" and on and on and on. BE STRONG, MY FRIEND! Don't listen to anybody who uses a choke on a regular basis." well whoever says this has no idea of how a car works or what works best. there is NO way and i mean NO WAY carburetion will ever win out over fuel injection. just doesnt happen. also, ill quote this too, why fuel injection when you can get webers, well webers cost 1250, hmmm and sds fuel system costs 1395. i dont see much difference for a much better fuel delivery system at all. carbs no offense to anyone are for people that dont want to take the time to learn fuel injection and or are hard pressed to the old ways. injection is the way to go and there are so many ways to tune its not funny. id go with the injection. but if your going fuel injected then go turbo damnit !!!:devious:

but it does make it easier is getting rid of the points for a electronic distributor for much easier starting. also are you choke cables still hooked up and working properly. when i started mine to run it in the cold having the chokes adjusted and working right helped a lot. usually no more then 2 tries

good ole keith~~> :beard: is getting up in years and i just like him to be able to see my carLOL

the supra tt in a Z is true i saw it myself. the car sold for only 13 or 14k i cant remember. monster of a machine. also as far as your rotary question it does work and it can be done and has been done. a bettter bet depending on where you are and a easier swap is a sr 20 or sr20det swap

they do have larger runners and flow somewhat better but the fact or the lack there of that they give you 10 hp is a joke. maybe on a very highly modified engine, but if your looking for just a touch more you will get it from the N36 intake, it is a better choice.

not a Z but i know everyone wants one in there Z :devious: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2402753974&category=6392
