the other drivers complained and said it would be unfair to them

if only i had the $$ and the room to take on another Z...... oh, and no wife

EOS rebel. NICE pics. makes me want to go back to the OG color!

oh, and the altima doesn't have the triple gauges; they are air vents

this thread is hilarious.....

UPDATE - i figured out why it wasn't charging, etc..... the jumper i had made was to the specs on the zcarcreations page (which are for a 280 VR), and i realized it wasn't going to do much when the diode was connected to a blank connector! anyway, i found a thread on here regarding the same issue, and i made jumpers to those specs (jumper from white to yellow, diode from black/white to white/black) and installed them. no dice. car wouldn't even click the starter. SOOOOO.... that brings me back to the drawing board and troubleshooting here i come!

ya, just look for any 7" round headlights

justin - you might want to put thicker carb spacers on...also, get the ZTherapy carb video. worth every penny.. and then some! i also noticed the lack of a fuel return line. i woule address that fuzz - the early 240zs didn't have heat protection on the fuel rai from the factory. they seem to be ok with little to no vapour lock

thanks for that link, ron. i'l check it out in a few, as soon as i post this anyway, i'll reattach the 4AWG back to the switch. also, the alternator is GOOD, so it's definitely a wiring issue. HOPEFULLY the solution to both problems is in ONE wiring mistake. i will have to look. i took apart the covers for the column and everything APPEARED ok. how do i get the blasted ignition switch out? there's some headless screw in there...... oh, and ron, if a plane ticket from canada wasn't so expensive i'd have you down here in no time at all!

welcome! this site is a gold mine of information. spend some time reading through the threads members have posted; almost everything you need to know has been covered! Jason

yes. you can find them on ebay all the time. look for either angel or halo headlights. might have to add round or something like that.

is that like running around wearing ballerina outfits?

ok, well i know that it's not the alternator that keeps the car running.... the alternator isn't charging!! sooo.... today i'm taking out the alternator (new) and taking it to autozone to have them test it. if it tests bad, then obviously i'm going to have them replace it. if the alternator tests good, then it's obviously a wiring problem. i triple checked my diode and it's fine. however, i did disconnect the white/red wire that's attached to the alternator and replaced it with a 4AWG wire running back to the battery cutoff switch. would this cause one of these problems? (edit: if i read correctly, that white/red wire goes through the diode, correct? if that's the case, how do i do the 4AWG wire to the back of the car?) if anyone in/around san diego is good with wiring/electrical and wants to come help me out, i'll offer beer and maybe car parts!

yessir! great movie!

the 180* is because for every two turns the crankshaft makes the camshaft and distributor make one turn

that's what it's supposed to do hha ya! love it when there's another DK fan

hahahaa

haha, it actually wasn't that dramatic. we only did the engine first, then took the engine out and put the tranny in. it was a swap, you might say. anyway, no pics of the block in the car, but the tranny will have pics soon!

haha, pretty much! when it was in the trunk i didn't need lowering springs

oh, i forgot to mention that i "dropped" them into my trunk, for transporting......

well, yesterday my friend and i dropped an L28 into my infiniti. After that we put the 5 speed into it. oh, it's an infiniti i30. so, what ya think?

i 'ed

when i bought mine, i got it for around $20 off of ebay in good condition.

where did you get it from?
