Thanks Ed , wasn't gonna get a header this soon but they have the coating for $75 <normally 149 >now til mid january one of the msa guys says and kinda motivating me

They have a sale going on now on their Aerospace Thermal coating for headers, does anyone know if this is jet-hot or if not who does this for them? Also anyone have any feedback if they bought a header with this coating? Thanks Jeff

you are correct Carl , same thought you just used the right term , very good point with the clutch arm and the pedal

yea the gene pool needs a bit of chlorine , I find it very disgusting how many people seeks ways to avoid work and get paid for their own stupidity , still think having people get a permit to reproduce is a great ideal

just a guess here but I thought it was too keep the tires cool , with more air in the tire it was able to reduce the heat easier than a tire that contained less overall air

if the car moves forward and the clutch pedal is pressed in, its not engaging fully and very well could cause the grinding

I would have to say thats big possibility , if the throw out bearing was bad it would make a humming if the car was in neutral atleast thats the expierence I have had, I could be wrong about this but I don't ever recall switching clutch forks when putting in the 5 speed tranny, sounds like the car is engaged partially <in gear>weither the clutch depressed or not , I did have this issue before in a car and it was not the tranny or clutch but another part incorrectly installed

Hey Brandon what does the borla sound like?

if you go to panasports website I am sure they have other dealers than msa http://www.panasport.com/

always used NGK on my Z's as well as the honda , never had an issue with them

I also wonder what exactly sorta speed are you trying to shift into first, I would only do that is you were very close to a complete stop like the speed you could push the car by yourself would be ok but like 4, 5 -10 mph is not gonna work , and 280z is correct as well about reverse , but the the best way is not to downshift to 1st til you are at a complete stop or damn close to it. Great ideal on the oil , i think I might change mine now

good point Enrique i just went a bit extreme after the finger issue

I would first check the clutch to see if its bad , the easy way is to start off like normal and at about say eith 25-35 put the car in its highest gear and floor the pedal<gas> if the engine revs up but doesn't pull or pulls slowly its most likely the clutch starting to slip , from what you say I would next check the shifter bushing if you have alot of play in the shifter , sometimes if they are very worn out it will make it difficult to put in gear , but I would also start looking for another tranny for the possibilty of bad sychros , good luck

I got the burn on my finger to prove its a good Ideal , clean the back of the fuse box and spray it with an inhibitor got my clean and spray inhibitor at home depot and works great , good luck

as written above check for breaks in the cover of the wire as well as at the socket , look for green buildup on the connections and inside the socket, another aspect i would consider would be checking the fuse box under the ashtray for a lose wire or maybe something that accidentally got in there, also check the back carefully for green build up or burn areas, clean the terminals with the fuses out of the box , only takes 2 minutes to remove it BUT REMOVE THE NEGITAVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY FIRST

Talk you out of it?, a low number 70 with good pans I think 2k is very reasonable if not an outright deal, wish I had another garage for a 70, unless you don't have room I think it would be a great buy

yes I have that on vhs tape somewhere, let me look for it I wanted to put both on dvd soon , I will let you know

hhm I need to read my threads first ,and fix the broken keyboard the show was on them redoing a pair of 240z's for more power

Ok I watched the full throttle show on them red the pair of 71's , but did anyone see that the cars were both automatics? Kinda disappointed they would use autos , also I don't agree with the holley carb usage. But atleast our Z's got more airtime which they so richly deserve, also the show has some neat old video and pics , Jeff

I see no prob with overbuilding a car as long as you use things that are equally good as the car as in parts, but its alot like keeping a 240z stock or building a 400hp turbo screamer but get you to the store to buy beer just depends on how fast you want to get there, but I was gonna shove a bigger or overpowered motor into a car I would stay with something japanese , just my 2 pennies

I have owned both , I like the sound of both as well, the turbo one sound more like a indy car/ v8 motor where the sound of the targa had more european , old aston / ferrari sound minus the singing of the webbers, but both setups have headers. The turbo one is not quiet and I got that one because of the large diameter pipe and targe is like under 2 diameter if I am correct, and the turbo is 2 1/2 , I do like the look of the targa better , but work well but it all depends as wel if you are leaving the car stock as in motor wise . but I am sure you will get lots of feedback on the sounds of the two . But leaving the factory manifold on I would go targa,Good luck

ok gotta keep this a funny in some way, so who makes the best drag queen? personally Edwards gets my vote

I have a install guide for an eletronic distributor that might help if you want it pm me with email address

if you pm broken74 that my brother , he is very good at fixing door / lock problems also there isn't alot of parts that go wrong in there atleast on the 240's . rather simple system, doubt its too serious
