I am about to be working 12+ hours a day 6 days a week and I don't have a garage to work in. However...I forgot that when I parked my '79 I pulled all the black panels out of it and put them in the Turbo...time to start swappin back I guess. I also still have my Stinger Capacitor and all my stereo wires ran in the '79 so I guess I will toss mt 10's back in there today and rock out.

I'm lost.

I hardly hang around here anymore and when I do, I don't read all of the new posts so... I'm totally confused.

What in the Hell is going on???

Bleach: Did you unload the Purple Demon???

Did you get a tree fiddy??


Damn. Ever since I found out that no-talent ***-clown 619 was back, I've been even less interested in what's going on around here.


Geeeeeeeeeeeez.


Somebody fill a brotha in yo!


Rod.

You missed out on when Bleach's tranny kinda took a crap on him, and he ultimately decided to sell the Z.

i've decided to sell mine too. too expensive to keep, and not practical as an only car.

I actually will one day... that's what I do... fix / restore & flip. My Z has just taken way too long. Plus I have another 280zxt and a few other Z's I've been scouting out.

Hey Bleach, if you're gonna buy a Tree Fiddy, see if you can find a left over
'07. I've heard they're a lil quicker than previous years. Not sure of the details but thats what I've read on My350Z.com.

its not to hot to ride if you dont mind risking some road rash.

also, hold onto those parts for me 50 bucks shipped is perfect, and yeah get a couple pics of the dizzy i just want to see the CAS wire and the rotor condition cause mine keeps getting eatin/rusted up. and then when you drop that oil pump, you'll notice the shaft thats sitting ON it its not really in it, just slide it off with your hand lol. its easy as pie you wont break nothin, and yeah send me a pic of that to so i can make sure your sending teh right part. lol.

Yeah right, you thought I was serious? Z's are way too fun to get rid of. I would go crazy not being able to drive a Z. I went too long before without driving one. I am currently trying to get my slicktop going. I have already drove it 2 days now. It is just I have an overheating problem. And it runs like crap. Here we go again, with a troubleshooting headache.

Yes for quite a long time. I have already flushed the radiator, put on a fail safe thermostat. And it still gets hot. I just removed the air regulator. And the next thing is loosen the drain bolt on the block. Which is a bastard to remove. Even with 2 wrenches, it wont budge. So I am going to Auto Zone, and get a long handled ratchet, for leverage. And tomorrow I will get the drain bolt loose. And then flush the whole system with the garden hose. If that fails, I will go friggin' crazy!

it just seems a shame to me to see ppl part out decent cars that could be used in the hobby for restoration.
