  1. My Sentra popped a brake hose last night. I wanted to fix it quick and the only place within walking distance is Autozone, so I thought I'd see if that store happened to have them in stock. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/2004-Nissan-Datsun-Sentra/Brake-Hose-Rear/_/N-jlrbyZ8knpa Funny, I make the same face any time I walk into an Autozone.
  2. I loled. To me that racecar is SO much cooler than an SR swapped show winner. That thing is setup to be driven in anger. Even if it was a circle track car, I bet tweaking it into a track day/autocross car be a lot of fun. Or hell, can you still race it in the type of events it was meant to run in? Circle track may have a stigma attached to it, but it's still the cheapest way to go get some serious wheel-to-wheel seat time. While other people sit around and think about how cool it would be to do something else if they could afford it. Yeah dude, F the haters.
  3. Fuel pump on an 810 is surely not mechanical. It's fuel injected. If I buy the car, I will certainly buy a shop manual. I actually looked for a .pdf of the service manual before I posted. I just thought someone here might know.
  4. I know a guy with an 810 wagon. I'm thinking about picking it up, but it's got an intermittent cutoff/no start problem that $600 and several mechanics have not been able to solve. My thought was just stick some 240Z carbs on it. But I was looking at someone's Car Domain pics and I saw that there is a "floor temp" warning light on the dash. I assume that's to warn the driver of an overheated catalytic converter. So does anyone know if that's just an idiot light, or if it also has something like maybe a fuel pump cutoff to keep the an overheated cat from turning a small fire into an inferno? I could see that sensor going bad and manifesting as an intermittent no-start or break down. And I can see no mechanic in the state of Kentucky being able to figure that one out. Thanks for any insight!
  5. I've seen an S13 with an L series swap. Pretty nasty. Once upon a time I bought a 510 two door with an A12 swap with wooden motor mounts. I bought it 50 miles from the Mexican border. Whoever did the swap could have gone to Mexico and gotten the factory parts to do the swap properly, but instead the just put a dent in the oil pan to clear the crossmember and long bolts through the crossmember and 2x4s. I only bought it because he told me it was an original Mexican car before I drove 300 miles to look at it and it was a rust free shell. These are the days before the internet so pictures were out of the question. This guy's L28 Z31 looks like an inspired engineering masterpiece by comparison.
  6. Make an account at photobucket.com and upload the pics there. Saves on bandwidth for the forum and makes them easier to share on other forums without having to upload again.
  7. Wow! Indiana is starting to get some Ratsun love... Bigger pictures now or there maybe be an e-riot...
  8. Is the bed cover made from butcherblock? That is SO baller.

    "Oh no! They're moving me. Could this be the end. :frownyface Wow! They gave me a bath! And this doesn't look like a scrapyard. :grin That car looks like a sweet project start to me. It's always cool to find one someone hasn't already deflowered with poorly thought-out mods. Wish I could find one like that... Yay! Another one saved...
  10. Yeah, the all metal ones are definitely better. Oddly, I never had a problem with either of the Rabbit radiators I had in 510s, but the two Rabbits I had needed them replaced every three of four years. But those were the plastic/aluminum ones. And the problem I had in Rabbits was the upper hose necks breaking off for some reason... probably cheap plastic exacerbated by heat cycles.
  11. Luke Skywalker: Do you have a car here? Walks inside. Luke "A stinkin' Corvette..." Prostitute: "Yeah. You'd think they at least have a Hyundai." For those who haven't seen the movie, this is the awful titular custom Corvette. For some reason, whenever he describes the car to someone else in the movie to inquire if they've seen it, he points out that it has Gabriel Shocks... Gabriel... nice... Worst car movie ever... When I was a kid, the local independent TV station in Albuquerque would play this movie ever Saturday afternoon. It was the "Saturday Movie Matinee - brought to you by Earl Schieb". Yeah, that's right, a company that advertised it would "paint any car for $199" sponsored the weekly showing of a movie that features a car thievery gang that steals cars, puts shitty paint jobs on them, and sells them.
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8fxkQGW608&feature=related Peewee's big adventure scene with orange 510. Corvette Summer 240Z. Mark Hamil is looking for his stolen Corvette.
  13. You should check out this 200SX that's on Craigslist in Bullitt county right now. Same as an S10 Slivia. $300. Ran when parked. http://louisville.cr...1742577902.html NOT the car from the ad. Pics of the actual car are in the ad. It's an acquired taste stylistically, but I haven't seen ANYONE else doing anything with one, even though it's just like all the other Datsuns with the part interchange thing...
  14. They sold some Z series engines that only had 4 plugs. I think they were the intake side plugs - there were no holes drilled for the exhaust side plugs. But I might be wrong, it might have only been the exhaust side plugs... I ran my Z24 in my 720 for a while with only 4 plug wires and I didn't notice any difference. But it never ran very good anyway. I think it's generally accepted that the second plugs don't make any power, just clean up the exhaust on the way out. That's why I think it's the intake plugs that the 4 plug Z engines came with. If the Weber carb is jetted properly, it should get the same gas mileage if driven at the same pace. All the Weber downdrafts I have ever played with though, were jetted too rich on the secondaries and would really drink the gas if I got my foot into it too much. But then again, those were as 6000 feet of altitude, so the stock jets may be more suited for low elevation operation. I know what you mean about the Z engine needing cleanup. They have way too many vacuum lines and plug wires and just crap on them. The weber should get rid of most of that. There's just no place to hook them up on the carb.
