  1. it's doable and people have done it. try a quick search on power steering and you should come up with a few threads with people that have don this mod.

    I've had my Autometer autogage 5" tach in the dash for the past couple of months and have had this issue since i installed it. the tach has an intermittant problem under 2K rpm. it usually jumps around between idle and 3K anytime i'm under 2K. i've dealt with it though since i am rarely under 2K rpm. i thought that it was normal for an aftermarket tach, but then i installed a 3 3/4 sunpro in the wife's 510 and it works flawlessly. the reason i installed this tach in the first place was because the stock tach would only rev to around 3K rpm... very odd. i attributed it to the fact that it has a 280ZX electronic dizzy in it. anyway, what could be causing this? is it possibly a defective tach, or am i missing something? i should also add that when i have my lights on it usually acts ok, but when i turn my turn signals on the needle bounces along with the blinking.
  3. it seems that 80% stick with either the original colour or go to flat black. i prefer the stock colour, although my car is currently flat black
  4. so far quite a few of us string pluckers...

    as long as you don't kill one of their seagulls with a baseball
  6. have you pulled the fuel lines to make sure that you're actually getting gas to the carbs? also, try putting a little oil in your cylinders. you might have washed your cylinder walls and may not be getting compression.
  7. well, i can't stand the yankees, but even so.... i would still say mr. K because the Z was something completely new, whereas the work that GS did was mostly shinning up an old shoe.
  8. ya, i was gonna say "i thought i've read this post before, but it's only a couple days old"...

    i like the side markers, but i'm probably going to go with the hyundai conversion. there's a current thread on side markers over on hybridz

  12. sounds like flooding or maybe fouling plugs have you checked your timing?

    that's what i was thinking...
  15. well darbji, this is all so sudden! ya, i get that a lot. don't worry though, the effects of absinthe are drastically overrated. it has more to do with the alcohol content (up to 144 proof) that makes people go crazy. what's funny is there is more thujone (the neurotoxin in high doses) in tarragon and sage than there is in absinthe! plus, this year the US has approved 2 brands of absinthe to be sold here. anyway, goin on a tangent here

    hahahahaha
  17. basically, what stuff just calls out your wallet (besides bills, of course)? for me, it's: tools guitar stuff electronic doo dads absinthe fine microbrewed beer any takers?
  18. yes, but who looks better when crossing the finish line? no matter who crosses the line first, the datsuns will always be the winners
  19. that's what i'm talkin about!
  20. you guys are taking it all wrong. it's a hybridz with an rb26dett in it! so the owner calls it a 260Z. to stay true to form, the owner switched to 260Z turn signals and quarter emblems.

    do you have a pic? i have never seen an 8-bolt flywheel...
  22. indeed. i attempted to look at the box for reference for mine, but my drawing has it offset on both sides. when i mounted mine i wanted it has high up as possible, but i have considered switching it around. eventually when i get dyno time i will test it both ways and let you know what i find Jason

    wow, that's crazy!
  24. i mounted my muffler reverse to the way that one's mounted; it pushes the bottom up considerably, but it sits at a bit of an angle to get it close to the hole in the valence EDIT - it's the same as how it's mocked up in the first post
