hey does anyone know a good place to have my 300zxs engine re-built?

NismoPick

Your local machine shop.

get a phone book or google search your area. then call around and see if any have experience with the L motor. but they arent anything special so no big if they havent.

im talking for my vg30t. should it be more expensive?

NismoPick

More expensive than what? An L28? Price is relative to what you want done....

snwbrderphat540

LOL. yeah my bad. i dont know how i didnt get that even though i see you say for your Z31 lol. same difference. and from your timidness of playing with carbs i think it might be best to have the machine shop do most/all the work.

tonsoffun300zx

about how much should i expect the re-build cost
and i did buy hoov's 300zxt and it drives good!

NismoPick

Is it the motor in Hoov's Z31 that you want to rebuild? What's wrong w/ the motor? And depending on what you want done, expect $1k-$2k.

tonsoffun300zx

yes and nothing really it just has 200k miles and i want the engine to be reborn again kinda like i want it to be super reliable you know?

NismoPick

hum... nothing is wrong with it, yet you want to dump $1-$2k into it... interesting.

hoov100

do not even think about touching that motor. 200k is nothing for that car, you WILL not touch that motor until the car is paid off.

hoov100

also, you might wanna change that oil in about 200 miles and you want want to add some tranny fluid.

NismoPick

Tis a good point... technically it's not yours until you have the title (or loan paid off).

snwbrderphat540

yeah tell me you got a bill of sales and agreement made up and hoov you still got the title right? lol.

hoov100

i got a title, i have the key if he flakes, and i have a contract that was notarized with a witness, that and i know people, i bet within an hour i could have the car in a friends garage. IF i had to.

snwbrderphat540

dude, he named your car veronica already. you cant take it back once its named with a super slutty girl name.

hoov100

the car had more of a girl personality, you literally had to treat it like a woman to drive it good and for her to be good to you.

AZ-ZBum

Yeah. My backyard or garage. Give me $10k and I'll build you the biggest, baddest VG(SOHC) you can find.

tonsoffun300zx

don't worry i'd go without eating before i missed a payment to you hoov. and im not going to do any work till its mine just in case you decide to flake on me.

hoov100

unless you start doing something stupid im in this more then you.

snwbrderphat540

dude, im kinda jealous, you get a Z31 the kind i want. because i dont care about them much so i'd beat on it, turbo, lsd, and teh strong tranny. the perfect car imo to work on and make a real racer (inexpensive and easy to work on to!) i really wish hoov was closer i would have straight traded him for my 260T woulda been fun. lol.

hoov100

i would say drive your 260 to MSA this year and drive mine back home....

snwbrderphat540

to late you sold it. lol. but idk if i could make that drive in any car older than a 90. lol.

hoov100

i drove a 73 240z from phoenix to bakersfield nonstop without a problem.

SpeciallySpiked

I drove the '83 essentially coast to coast this last summer with no problems

(and everywhere in between including NYC, Chicago, and Las Vegas!)

... but I did kill a bird with the headlight bucket
