  1. Also fisch did thread called (wide whites on ratsun budget) i`ve seen this done to a lot of rat rods and it`s not as scary as it may look.
  2. Diamondback tires is little cheaper than Coker but it`s mail order, I believe they give discount to hokey ass message board,, H.A.M.B.,,members they make white walls out of many different brands of tires ............dbtires.com................haven`t used them my self
  3. Sorry i miss read post titled (280zx brackets) the one with the welded brake solution by freaky510? I thought they were talking about 610 ,Ishould read the words and not look at the avatars SOOO never mind I had the answer already... OH! the answer seems to be, don`t bother.
  4. Read through a lot of threads but can`t seem to find out if 1983 280zx rear brakes will FIT easy emphasis on easy maybe with custom brackets (maybe a link to them) if it`s way easier to use 200sx calipers that`s fine just can`t seem to sort out info.came across whole car that went sideways into tree today and unsure if i should salvage them.
  5. George wa.awhile ago but just came across
  6. Not a "B" but still a Finn in a Peugeot if ya have a fetish.
  7. Grew up on coast during the 80s we used to walk miles just to see a couple a seconds of screamin cars,and spend half the night watchin them work on them in Westport hoping to get a castoff tire or somethin TOYOTA OLYMPUS RULED!! My wife still wouldn`t let me name our first kid Juha but she does let me keep this in the house albeit folded up.. and note 80s vintage world rally dirt
  8. Thanks for the reply .Air regulator is supposed to be open when cold,but i was wondering how open,,is there a measurement?, wide open, crescent moon shape?? also it wasn`t the problem anyway "seamed" to be airflow meter, at least for now!! Me and this car have had a strained relationship since 1997..
  9. The 510 tailights i bought from this seller were not exact replacements ,,they didn`t dip in on top of middle reflector part and they fit a little weird not bad just weird,,but they were new,shiny and still on car.I would suggest buying in pairs so they match but i think thats how they sell them anyway.
  10. Ima postin it anyways ..This is what I want in a Z and I don`t care who i have to kill to get it.If anybody has engine,, interior photos please post.
  11. If over on fairgrounds rd turn on central valley rd nw bremerton ,,or google street view it 9300 central valley blah, blah ,blah My cousin talks that there might be parts car in back also.
  12. I would get it ,you could ALWAYS use it as trading stock.And there was an article in a road and track type mag once that asked this rich famous actor,why with all your money would you drive an old triumph that had left him on the side of the road more than once? and he said "I like to drive cars that need me as much as I need them"
  13. You get free bump for answer to following question---how much your neighbor asking for that coool lookin purple monster http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af158/kooskoos1/DSC00201.jpg
  14. ,(((edit)))Will be going to billetproof drags in toutle so I will leave adapter in big white cab over in front yard if ya need it ,,are you using tah manifold we found in yard cause maybe the base of it is warped and needs filing??file-ing??
  15. Also try sucking on vacuum advance with cap and rotor removed the plate should move a little.and the hose is connected at the bottom most port in carb.
  16. Im pretty sure i have a couple extra base adaptors laying around if you think yours might be warped or something.
  17. If a motor is running retarded( ignition wise not how MY brain works wise ) it sometimes runs hot. Did you ground the check connectors E1 and the T or TE1 together while timing? whats the compression? maybe spin engine by hand till top dead on flywheel pointer and make sure marks all still line up on cams,take a can of carb cleaner and spray on all hoses and fittings and watch to see if RPM changes,The upside down pop bottle idea posted earlier is a good one, you could also take thermostat out {last resort} just to see if bubbles stop check all cheep/free fixs first.
  18. Went to emission test brothers 280zxt and was told we missed it by one year.

  19. Can`t find in manuals ..when you look through is it completely open cold or does is it somewhat closed at say 60 degrees outside??and does cracked injector insulators (the thick middle part) cause vacuum leak?? gotta miss but spark looks good and even ,also i did look on zcar archives
