drive a good turbo car....... youl have fun ;)

[WAGON JON]

was curious about what year Toyota Cresida afm you are using? Is it a plug and play? Why did you use it; does it flow more air or something... Your car looks good. Looking for a new quarter panel? Look at www.blackdragonauto.com page 9. 140 dollars will get you a new re-manufactured panel.

[mr.mk1]

Oh hellz yeah, thats well bon3d out!

[PurePontiacKid]

lol the panel will be fixed once I get my wheels on, then also get a whole bunch of money saved up to do all the paint/bodywork at the same time ;) (I MIGHT have found a parts car, but I'm not sure yet...)

 

So this moarning I went to the junkyard... just got some quick disconnect injector connectors off of a Bonneville (fit my injectors and are better than the 30+ year old ones that are on it).

 

Later on, I decided I was finally going to change the valve cover gasket that was leaking oil all down the side of my engine, along with degrease that side of the motor, and also put my cool pink pulley/fan on my brand newish alternator.

 

as always, the pictars; the befoar/during stage:

 

ah, how I do like a clean valvecover... :P

 

 

I'm not too happy with the way the degreaser left all that white residue, but oh well, I'm sure it'll go away eventually lol

 

 

 

oh, and on the AFM, I BELIEVE it was from a MX73 cressida, whatever the boxier body style is... I got it because it is quite a bit larger than the stock NA AFM and moar closely matches my 60mm KA24 TB.

 

It's MOSTLY a plug and play thing, but you have to swap out the circuit boards in the AFM itself, then you also have to find the larger couplers (I just used the cheap ones you can get at O'Reilley's or whatever).

[PurePontiacKid]

ZOMFG.

 

Finally, after a year and a half, I have a dome light again! and not just a dome light, but a WORKING one with a brand new Nissan lens! :D it may seem trivial to you, but this makes me so happy to have lol

 

 

[Skib]

lol Iv never had a working one :lol:

 

 

I just used the super neat ball jointed map light deal that was in my 80 :cool:

[PurePontiacKid]

Yea, I've got one of those too, but it's nice when all the lights come one when I open the door, like she's welcoming me in for another drive :P

When you get inside a Z, a Z gets inside of you.

[PurePontiacKid]

So I was driving around trying to make a pair of exhaust tips for my Z (which one ended up falling off on the first drive with them :'( ) but anyways, this old Native American lookin guy on a suuuper clean Harley pulls up next to me and says "Is that one of them Datsuns?" I was like "yea..." he goes on about how he's got this whale tail for a Datsun in his backyard, and wanted to know if I wanted it, I asked him how much, he said he'd just give it to me. for that price, I couldn't really turn it down (even if it was for an S30) lol I go by his place about an hour later... he says it's all the way in the back. It's on this table sitting under some wrought iron and chicken wire (so I'm already thinking it's FUBAR)... look closely at it, it's a 280ZX hatch in silver with no wiper blade.... hmmm, that makes it a Non-GL like my car, look at the spoiler, it's black... reach up to feel it, it's URETHANE! I just came across a freaking ZX-R hatch! and the guy's going to give it to me for free! This is a one of 1009 EVER MADE!

 

Tied it up to the roof of my Z and bring it home :D

 

nao for teh pictars:

 

And after a VERY quick cleaning of the spoiler:

 

It's got NO cracks, NO pitting, NO warping... it's scary how nice it is, especially for sitting out in the Vegas sun for 7+ years...

 

Now I just need to figure out what to do with it... lol

 

 

[I'm BLUE]

:thumbup:

 

Congrats Man !!! Nice Story and love this build , Now How in the hell did that happen with the whale tail ? :huh: :rofl: :fu:

[PurePontiacKid]

I wrote the story about it in the post I made about it :P

 

anyways, did moar cleaning:

 

can't quite get all of the chicken wire rust imprinting off the window yet... gonna try some window polishing or something...

[Skib]

mother fucker :fu:

 

 

 

nice find :lol:

[PurePontiacKid]

did a trial test-fit today:

wouldn't latch because my latch was stupid and decided to close and I didn't realize what had happened until I put my hatch back on lol

 

I kinda like it... :/ lol

 

 

[metalmonkey47]

Looks pretty fucking neat man

[CharlieBucket]

When you get those wheels on that spoiler will look perfect. It goes nicely with your style.

[WAGON JON]

that was a nice find.

[PurePontiacKid]

Hao my car sits currently:

 

As you can see, my injector connectors have seen better days, on top of the fact that one of the injectors was leaking and making it idle rough... Got some "new" injectors that I tested (well, they pop open when I put 9v to them lol) that are going in, and some GM connectors that are alot better and should make ALOT better contact :D

 

 

[PurePontiacKid]

wrapped it up a little bit ago... from ~8am this moarning until ~5pm I've been workin on just this stupid little thing lol

(my harness completely loomed up... I didn't like using the corrugated crap, but it looks better than the overly large heatshrink over the individual injector harnesses befoar)

all back together! :D

 

I also put in a new coolant temp sensor just because that's one of the few things I hadn't replaced yet.

 

All in all, I'm super happy, it got rid of the stumble at idle (idles smoother than natural almost lol), drives smoother, revs faster and higher, and actually seems to have moar power :D

[Master-O-Turbonics]

if that car had a 280zx version of a g-nose, that would be amazing!

Love how the car looks! Speed bumps must be horrid. lol

[PurePontiacKid]

mehhh, the 280ZX G-nose is horrid (sorry bleach lol)...

 

I couldn't get over speedbumps at the height I was at before the accident, I'm about an inch lower meow, needless to say, I don't go over speedbumps lol

 

 

[WAGON JON]

Your engine bay sure cleaned up nice! :D

[PurePontiacKid]

put my "new" hatch on today... I even painted it to "match"! Friend of mine came over to help meh today (since that's ALOT of glass, and ALOT of rubber on the new hatch lol).

 

pictars as alwayz:

 

 

[metalmonkey47]

Would look better with the deep ass rims on it

[PurePontiacKid]

as soon as I get all of them...

[bonvo]

looking bad ass man now its time for a new quarter
