Hey guys, im new to the forum, i've been reading for a while and just now got a chance to sign up. I got my second z, a red 90 z with some work to be done, all which i will do myself, just need some advice and time, because i'm still in high school. Thank you all in advance.

 

Welcome to the boards! Do you have a TT or N/A?

 

my first was a "pearl white" tt with a white interior, this one is an aztec red n/a, so i now what i got myself into by buying the n/a and i know i cant push it much, but i just love the car itself. my dad had a 280 and a z31 and my grandpa had a 240 so i decided to keep the line going by getting a z32. for now i just want to restore the car to factory conditions, and then upgrade some of it. i will however, in sometime near future, get another tt and work on that as well

 

Welcome to the forum and congradulations on the new Z. Does it only have minor problems (the most recent one you purchased)?

 

well, for now yeah, i got it 3 months ago, and i replaced the clutch and flywheel, new tires, new master cylinder and a grounding kit. Now i need to either clean or replace the throttle bodies, the pcv valves, and check my gas lines due to the common smell which i had on my other z as well. Contrary to what a lot of peoplke think, ive done everything and paid for everything myself, so im kinda attached to this car, although its not a tt. I still would like to consult with someone knowledgeable on the subject though, because into a couple of things i go gung ho about it and realized that by doing it myself it caused me a ton of headaches and grief. If anyone lives around the Richmond, VA, and could offer assistance whenever i stumble i would greatly appreciate it, once again, thanks for the help, talk to you all later.

 

No need to replace the throttle bodies. Just clean them and you'll be fine. Why'd you get rid of the TT?

Um, what's with the username? I'm reading Kobe Bryant. Are you a fan of his?

 

Yeah welcome kbe. Pay attention and search. Figured I'd throw that in before anybody else did. :doh:

 

yeah thats what im gonna do with the tb's and yeah, ive had that user name for everything for liek 4 years now, so i just use the same name and password for everything i got

 

welcome...
yea what happened to the TT?
if z_wrecker would get on here he might be able to
he lives in charlottesville

 

tt got wrapped around a tree as i lost control of it coming around a sharp turn... it sucked. and ill talk to him about some help, i was reading that he's from charlottesville, thnx.

 

That's too bad about the TT. We've been through a lot of tree wrapping ceremonies over here.

I guess now would be a good time to say it.....it's winter and the roads are slick. Be careful out there.

 

That's why Im never going to drive my TT when it's around freezing temps. I don't want to take any chances. I have a front wheel drive honda for that

 

thats why my car gets garage space when more than 2 inches of snow falls on the ground

 

GAH! SNOW t: I HATE SNOW ITS THE WORST THING EVVVEEERRRRRRR... :blah:

 

but its the best thing ever in a large parking lot with no obstacles

 

alright i'll give u that, but in general no snow (GO GLOBAL WARMING :rofl: ) jk jk but yeah.

 

I learned to drive on a frozen lake. My dad wouldn't let me on the streets till I learned how to drive on ice without spinning out.

 

LOL, good idea until you end up in the lake instead of on it.

 

I'm living proof it works and I'm still here.

 

just gotta make sure you pick the right lake at the right temp

 

So..how about the Great Salt Lake at about a balmy 55 degrees? :hpydance:

 

Funny you mention Salt Lake. I'm from Utah and have a few speed records on the Salt Flats there.

 

Thats Neat!

 

My car goes fast in snow I do want another Z soon

 

Yah we know Mr. STi!!! Lol, from your away messages it seems as if you got quite the sweet lineup for that ride. You gotta keep me/us posted on what's going on it.
