  1. FYI, a friend of mine has a race-only A-series in his car. After doing the same research you are, he said "screw this" and dropped in a stock used 4AGE 1600cc toyota twin cam. Never been happier. Car is easier to drive, easier to race and is faster. win-win...win. "Race motors are for the birds" he proclaimed happily. I got the old crank trigger and MSD stuff off the A series...somewhere. point is he was a happy camper knowing all he had to do was change the oil and drive the car.
  2. if the question is to bore to 89 or not - why bother. seriously, not a lot of power available there for an extra mm or so of bore (if any) - seems kinda redundant. Combustion chambers should just be un-shrouded like mentioned earlier. risk vs reward conversation should include intended use. see signature
  3. Ya, I hear ya Mike - you're right. It just was one those deals: I lost my job a year earlier, got a lower paying job, had to move and had another child all at the same time. I got my price, no bullshitters, no advertising, no hassle. The new owner is really a great guy and my taxes weren't getting paid any other way. I'm glad I had the opportunity to make sure everything got paid on time and my car is in a good place - very important to me. I'm just not sure why it still bugs me.
  4. ...Since I sold my dime. I'm not too happy about it still a year later. It was one of those "ya gotta do what ya gotta do" things, and I'm just not cool with it - still. I have no idea what to do...buying anything just ain't in the books. I didn't go on Ratsun or any other site either, I just cut myself out of the community when I loaded it up on the trailer. I guess I'm not cool with selling it and don't like not having it...which is weird because I never drove it. I swapped motors, bought parts and worked on it all the time, but drove it maybe 1/2 mile in the 8 years I owned it. it was just always 'there' and I had a place to go. Money sucks.

    S U Carbs?

    Call Ztherapy, buy complete setup from them
  6. interesting head, definately no welding. the early ``Jason Gray`` research had some info on this head i think.
  7. what 510 parts do you need...i may be interested - also depending on what it would cost to get it to Chilliwack, Bc.
  8. moved to new house and had a new baby all the same week. drove the dime more that i have the past 3 years...

  10. selling the house, hating the job, staring at the datsun- at least something makes me smile.

  11. was it crash regulations that kept the G nose out of the domestic market?
  12. thanks again! i'd like to see how you did the frame connectors. i've got the 280ZXT front brakes - hoping that will suffice.
