Hey all, I whould like to now if any members have or know of any one who is renting a house in the LA area. I need a new home for me and my father. I have been looking, but the rents around here are really high. So I would very much appreciate any and all help in this matter. I would just like a decent 2+1 or such house to care for my father and babysit my children (yard) when I can. Of course a little space to work on my Zed (drive/garage) for a somewhat reasonable rent. If anyone has anything to offer or know someone that does please feel free to PM me. Thanx I know that this has nothing to do with Z's, but my Z is with my and she needs a home too!:devious:

Never noticed you were from LA fightyourself! Where abouts in LA? :devious:

Very glad too hear beandip! Send her our best wishes & let her know she is in our thoughts. Hope you are all doing well during this time. More the a thousand well wishes!!!!!!!! Frank

So who got the Z from MI?? 27th-Z??? how much did this cat want for it? Come on now somebody give us the skinny! :devious:

It means you've had one too many drinks with Don Ho! It might also mean that you've overfilled the sump with oil. This foaming bubble affect is called Airreation. Were there is too much oil and the extra oil works in reverse of helping out it screws the preasure and delivery up because the rotating assembly is pumping through so much oil it starts to much in air which also leads to cavitation through the oil pump, more bubbles. And all this air and bubbles leads to the seperation of the protective layer of oil from the metal parts that need it. O yeah less cooling going on as well. If you check the oil dipstick or filler cap and got the Hershey squirts (intermix) your leaking either oil out into the cooling sytem through the head or block and back or leaking coolant into the block and or head and back. If neither you could be venting combustion gases either through oil passeges or check you radiator while the car is running (cap off). If there is also bubbles in there your gasing into the coolant system through coolant passeges. Do a compression test. Hey what's up zeiss150. Don't have a 40 or 30 Wide Angle laying around that you don't want do you? !!! :devious:

The Stereo is not hooked up right. Take it back and stand around the car while they check it out. This pissed of customer bit goes a lot further than the the cool calm collected sap that doesn't look because he has NO idea what's really going. They don't really know if you do or don't. If you act like the sap they''ll treat you like one. Hence shity work. The amp(s) are left on draining the juice even if the car is of. Being that they hook up high powered amps directly to the Battery's Positive terminal. If the remote turn on lead isn't hook up to the radio, and instead to another device or another amp(s) . Or the hook up to the Z's wiring is not the best manner in which to run what you got hooked up a ground loop could keep components on that you do not see like the radio's face ( big and bright and obvious). Don't get it fixed, scare them by telling them that you are going to reort them to the Better business bureau. :devious:

HELL, what about the rest of the car?????? :devious:

Make sure every little thing you disconnected to make room to work is reconnected! Sounds like your AFM is not hooked up. :devious:

NOT! Dude, Western are true Mags. Very,very lite. The picture posted are steel rims. Very heavy. Like PrOxLaMus said. :devious:

When & how soon could we have them? Like maybe but the MSA show? Long sleeves also sounds cool!:devious:

Of a speedy recovery and a long healthy motherhood! Best wishes to you and yours Gary. Frank.

Seems that most 14" rims will not fit on the rear 240SX disc break upgrade kit From MML. Ross said that "some have fit, but very few". Also if running the 4X4 W/ 11" 300ZX roto upgrade kit the 14" in rim will not fit. If not running the front kit but only the rear try a trail fitment. Maybe if the rims you already own just kiss the outside of the new calipers, you might be able to just shave a bit off to just be able to get them on. The Front caliper upgrade kit will clear 14" rims on the stock rotors. hope this Helped. :devious:

Your hood v12horse? My NOT stock L24, round tops, and a couple other little things still have the idle rock solid at 750 RPM's. Even in a state of distune for the SUs. When in perfect tune on order same thing. Whatcha' running under the hood? Why did your mechanic do an ignition tune up? Hell you could have done that yourself easy. How did he lower the idle? Is this guy and old school bad arse Nissan wrench? or just A mechanic? Even if he was a very good younger Technician he has to know Datsuns and the SU's. Any monkey can monkey around. I have 5 ASE's and I get my Su's done be a couple of brothers who used to race Datsuns with their father back when. These guys know how to tune my carbs flat out right the first time. I trust them. If you can,t trust your tech with at least a '96 and above lets say BMW, He shouldn't be laying hands on your Zed! Why didn't he sell the full tune up, Air cleaner, oil/filter change, fuel filter, PCV, Points(?), timing? Also hear any hissing around the top or any where theres vacum hoses? :devious:

indyzprez Your asking about the 240SX conversion right. Like 2ManyZs I seem to remeber the 15" rim being minimum. Being that I figured the purchase of one of these kits around 15 to 16" rims. :devious:

Hello Mike just wondering where in So Cal You are located. How much for the 15's, since the sblake got the yokohamas that would have looked killer on my Western mags 15's will have to do on my 15" Turbos.

David I could not find the information I wanted to share with you about the gear oil classifications. And What I got from useless SAE sites and the likes was nothing but the impression that GL-#'s can apply to diferent weight oils.?. I pertty sure I had this information once somewhere. I must have it in storage. Sorry. The Mobil one is pertty trick Stuff. Synthetic oils are cool because it'll have the shear properties of 140w, but not flow lick a conventional 140w. Also if any body ever gets a deal on ?Honda oils take it. Honda oils are made by mobil. The honda they sell at the parts dept is Honda synthetic is Mobil1. :devious: .

David i'll look up the GL ratings tommorow and see if i have the conversion table some where around the shop or in one of the newer manuals lying around. Then i'll get back to you on this thread. Cool. :devious: .

Good going sledz. Now you can come on down and get mine going.Like wayne said, bet it feels real cool. :devious: .

Hey zeiss150, man you need to talk to phred and nixcars. Both these cats build engines. So what did I win Matt? A piece of fine glass optics with the initials C. Z., and made in Austria on it??? Huh, huh, huh???? I'll settle for an A16 or A12 back:D Or maybe a speedlight for my A2E? :classic: There is a site I don't remeber the address and I could not find me book mark for it anymore, but it's at geocities. I'm sure if bambikiller sees this thread he'll chime in. I'm pertty sure Carl or one of the others knows the guy I refer to. He has this one page comparing the differnt blocks and heads with pros and cons for different combos, also with the common Z problems. All one one page. Good stuff. Sorry I don't have it handy. If the others don't come up with a link by tommorow i'll look for my hard copy and pass on the link for you. :devious: .

Hey zeiss150, in your other thread about this phred was the member I had in mind when I said some of the other members that actually build Engines. You can also get new pistons ordered with valve reliefs already cut out of the piston. I'm glad you got your answer. Sorry I diddn't get that part of the question. But from what I understand from other members and read from phreds post he is the right man to have got the answers from. :devious:

For the members living in and around So. Cal Tep is in north hollywood. They have a in house machine shop and everything done by them is performance. If you check www.racetep.com , Go to the datsun Z section, look for the engine asssembly work available with the $ amount for different machine work. :devious:

Hey Vicky I think the T-top conversion looks trick. There was a kid who had his red Z in ZCAR.com as car of the month with t tops and some other trick body work. As far as structure I agree the Z is not the strongest unibody and some sort of reenforcement should be made as well as aftermarket safety upgrades. I wouldn't mind this type of conversion on say a 260 Or very early 280 with thin bimbers or the MSA bumber covers. Just my 2 centavos. :devious:

Wheres kyteler and Alfadog when you need them? :devious:

Hey David, for just changing gear oil I use the regular (conventional) 80w-90. But if the tranny or rear end has been treated like a redheaded step child after you change with this weight it will feel smoother, but since it was abused the internal clearence for the gears will have increased. Leading to failure, even with freash oil. Changing the oil might actually lead to the failure sooner than latter being that all the tinny metal dust is suspended in the old used oil filling the extra clearence where it once was. In this case you will need to step up to thicker gear oil. A lot of companies are now offering blended (conventional/synthetic) and pure synthetic lubes. The Blends being down the middle road in price. But still offered in the same weights. They offer better protection in the form of being harder to break down. And smoother flow regardless of temp. Usually for a LSD when using Conventional type gear oil an addative is used, the Diff might have a tag attached to one of the cover bolts or the FSM will have(should) that information. I don't remeber off the top of my head but I seem to remeber that some LSD's were using Synthetic oils(late models), and the early types used an addaditve to fight the oil from breaking down due to added shear forces internal to the LSD assembly. I believe you might be able to use striaght synthetic in a LSD. IF I am mistaken someone please correct me (thanks) Hope this was of help Panchovisa.:devious:

By the way Does zeiss150 refering to a Hassy lens? :devious:
