  1. with the car. only 2 days on collectorcartraderonline and it was sold. eh oh well :tapemouth
  2. El Cajon to be exact. i have someone that is going ot look at it for me and im hoping to contact the seller this evening so ill let you know.
  3. but i did buy my very first Z in san diego when i lived there. the guy i had bought it from said there was something wrong with the motor and it didnt run correctly. it was a 78 280Z. well it was 1200 dollars i drove it and looked it over and found nothing wrong with it and couldnt figure out what the guy was talking about. well at highway speeds i found out it would run like i was trying to go from 30 to 60 in 5th gear. just a injector cleaning and new fuel lines and she ran like a top. who knows maybe this is one of those Z's that everyone finds that looks good and has all this and that for cheap, i have someone to go look at it for me though so ill wait for theyre reply to the car.
  4. i guess i truely cant keep myself away from the Z for the i have for them. me thinks me might go back to california for another one!! save for the frustration from the woman:tapemouth well heres the one im looking at, 1500 dollars, urethane bushings threw out, 4:11 rear, 5 speed, little bit of head work bigger valves, exhaust, wheels hopefully not a lotta rust.:sick: this could be my turbo project :devious: now that i have a little funding:cheeky: also since its in san diego, ill just stop by ecology auto wrecking and all Z auto wrecking, hehe they are both right next to each other , and get my tank, fuel pump and a few relays that i need:stupid: dont know all of them. well you were right it didnt take long. i dunno i just cant keep away from them its like im going threw depression or somethign without one:(
  5. im about one hour south of pittsburgh off of 51 30 minuts north east of morgantown hello there :classic:
  6. dont assume anything!! remember the saying assuming makes an arse out of u and me look over the entire car carefully and inpect it with a fine tooth comb. to me it looks like all the damage shown is from the shippers inept work with tieing the car down and i would make a claim and have them pay
  7. get your wheels now while there at some awesome prices.http://www.centerlinewheels.com/wheel_deals1.htm
  8. it does take 5 quarts with a fram PH8and or NOS nissan filter. i like to use the fram PH43 because of the anti flow back, it takes almost 5 with that filter.
  9. jsut do it :cross-eye
  10. wonder why they didnt do that to the new 350Z:ermm:
  11. as long as its the four bolt pattern. though i dont know why you would want them i think they look god awful:sick:
  12. go to the local bone yards and get some from a 70 71 i think maybe still 72 not sure, and buy them dirt cheap. if you cant find a bone yard in california with Z's in it something is wrong
  13. there are several bumpers, to many to be known what type your talking about like someone else said if you can find a car with them on it maybe we could help you identify them:ermm:
  14. if your really modifying it my 72 240 i had done the following, 460 lift 270280 duration cam, larger valves, all new valve train, engine bored .40 over, flat top pistons, crank balanced, the whole lot basically, electronic ignition and what not. anyway to get to the point the weber 32/36's wouldnt give me enough fuel at 5500 and above. i would get some pinging and a little loss in power. i got inventive with this and made them work having both barrels open up at 4000 rpm though that made gas mileage crappy. you can get them to work but id stay with the su's, if you get wilder you can always go with tripples or stand alone fi your choice but the dual downdrafts arent really all that. thats my .02
  15. you could go with a 245 50 14 the only manufacture i know of that makes that size still is BFG those would fit though
  16. but please get rid of the wing immediately
  17. sr20det sylvias for sale for less then 4000, with low mileage. the only bad thing is dock and import fees will rape you
  18. im selling mine for 5500 with a ton of parts and almost enough to rebuild the bottom end! plus many other miscellaneous parts. has fairly new paint year old, recaro seats, new booster, msa springs, so on and so on and mine is a 71, no dents! no rust. so you tell me. hehe i think thats to much for a 73 that isnt perfect.
  19. its a sad attempt to make one look like a ZXR to bad its the wrong color scheme and the placement of the ZXR os not on the hood its on the front fender
  20. are little things like this "Eccel Programmable Brain for Racing," "Port and Polished Big Head  Big valves (12 to 1 Compression) ," he also says a 2.75 inch exhuast but has a chambered muffler?? with 12:1 comp?? whats a big head ? here is his run down  Eccel Programmable Brain for Racing (Adjustable Timing, Fuel Flow & Idle) includes a copy of the program on a floppy and a manual.  Cold Air Induction  Large Throttle Body  Strut Bar  Optima Battery  High Lift Cam  4 Core Radiator  Powder Coated Intake & Exhaust Manifold (Runs Cooler)  9 Qt. Oil Pan (15/50 Mobile One Synthetic)  Performance Headers (2 into 1)  2 ¾” Exhaust  16” Panasport Wheels (New Tires)  $5,000 Paint Job (Orange)  Port and Polished Big Head  Big valves (12 to 1 Compression)  Krane PS 91 Electric Coil  Krane Ignition 437 Limited Slip Differential (For Racing) excuse me for maybe being wrong but when did they make a 437 lsd??? says the car is currently programed to be driven daily. since when can you run 12:1 engine on pump gas???? just a few umm indescrepancies(sp?)
  21. not that you would have to worry about freezing in la california. but thats something i didnt know, guess you learn something new everyday. i would have though that just from the make up it would be easier to freeze with water. yes Z voiture that is jeff priddy's car.
  22. how do you figure that a pure anti freeze solution will freeze before a 50/50 mix will. sorry there is no way that would happen, and honestly, unless you have ever dealt with the anality of the california DMV, then you have NO clue. trust me, move there, and then try registering your vehicle. pure hell:tapemouth
  23. i dont know what he means by not having water in the system unless he is saying it never had striaght water. i dont understand that part at all like i said i do know the guy and know him well. the 280Z spring thing may be a mis print. he is a Z lover and knows his Z's albeit he is a ZXT fan. he has a 450 RWHP 280ZXT that is awesome!! i know the money and time he has put into this vehicle and all he says about it is true. he does not buy anything aftermarket for replacement parts only nissan parts will he use. you can be assured that this is a good if not excellent car. i saw the car myself when he got it and was repairing the minor flaws as with the brakes and such. the reason i know for the flat tops is he wanted to keep the car original. i wouldnt hesitate to buy anything from him and or trust this car for any bit of enjoyment or use to go anywhere you wanted it too. the car i know for fact is in excellen shape minus a few blemishes and he has lots of cash into this car fixing it up to where is is now
  24. have the annual Z car convention every year in august near harrisburgh i believe it is but alas they are about 4 or more hours away. that long of a drive threw pa is not inviting id much rather make a nice comfortable trip down 70 to md;)
  25. even though it is still sitting downstairs and its still mine, the guy hasnt paid me yet. i am kinda missing it, i wont lie. even brings a lil tear also. but like i said its just gotta go. now dont go thinking i wont be here anymore and are you a part of that club in northern va there mister 2 many. i will have another eventually maybe even my next one , im not sure. hehe i know its sickening and sad but i just cant find the right one for me. i dont knwo what it is theres nothing wrong with this one at all its just not the one for me. we will see as no one has guessed what the next car will be hehe. and i wish i could afford a RB26 skyline :devious: hehe but then i might scare everyone:o ehh you will have that though
