Why do birds fly? Why is the sky blue? Why does heat rise?

It's science....


But really... because California is a MUCH better place to have a parts supply company.

 

Because there are far more Z-cars (old and new) on the West Coast than the East Coast...

 

Hold on... are you trying to say that a company should be close to their customers? Whoa.... that totally just blew my mind!

 

I think its 'cause Japanese shipping is best had on the west coast...

Just my opinion, though

Actually every year (?) they've tried to group the Z's by model, and allow "clubs" to park together. This year, it's implied that they will organize by models ..

If MSA is successful in organizing by models .. it should (?) make competition judging interesting.

 

if it were in ny, i def. wouldnt go, then you all wouldnt meet me, from the great white north. and wind chill of 39? thats not even below zero, pssst. wussies

 

Bump...

I'm gettin giddy! One month till MSA! I got my Z mostly ready yesterday... had to put the cat back in, install door handles... got the stock headlights back in. Now I need to get it inspected & take it for a small road trip to make sure she can handle a long distance cruise.

 

Hehe, I'm getting excited too. I'm goin' all out this year. My Z just got back from the body shop from some further custom bodywork. Today I just finished a boost controller install. And this week, I take it in for a clutch, flywheel, LSD, and intercooler install (all thanks to a lot of overtime, tax refund, and lack of a gf). She'll be a whole new car! ^_^ Now I'm just praying everything'll work together ok.

 

You will worship that LSD! It makes a fantabulous difference.

 

i want an LSD, i still need to research what is involved with the 300ZX turbo lsd R200 swap, or just get the brute power LSD for the R180 for 400 bucks and take it to my dads transmission friend.

 

I'm going to leave around 7am... & roll into LA at 5 or 6pm. Where's everyone staying Friday & Saturday night? I'll prolly just get a hotel somewhere in LA.

 

Things are not looking good with my car. I'm starting to get worried...

there has been a lot going on and I've been so busy I've hardly touched my car in a month

 

just quit your job then

 

What's up w/ the car? Still that boost / bov leak?

 

screw the r200, im going with a custom install of a r230!!!

 

you could just ride with me or e bleach, that way you still get to go, with no worries aboot your car, or just fix the dang thing. got my car on the road now for one months testing b4 i go. just need a radio, antenna, pass. seat and rear springs. itll be a cake walk. in between restoring a 61 impala, it has to be done b4 i go.

 

The boost leaks are fixed. I've got to replace the intake/exhaust gasket and I've been doing a little custom work. That is not going well. Fiberglass is not setting up right. I did this before and it was perfect on my truck.
I've just got a lot to do before the trip. On top of that, other people keep having crisis in their lives and it somehow always affects me and takes my time away...

 

what kind of temoeratures are you curing the glass at bleach, i take it you know that stuff. also being that winter just passed, the stock of resin you have could have been frozen. not by you, but by the parts supplier. it happens, i went through 3 tins of bondo untill i had a good one once.

 

temps in the garage at night are in the mid to upper 40's F.
This stuff has quite a bit of fumes and I didn't want to bring it into the house.

 

anyone wanna help me turbo my NA z31?? in time for msa?

 

"Turbo" like "throw on a turbo" or do you mean an actual engine swap? Either way would be pushin it to be done by MSA.

PS... Bleach, you WILL be there...

 

so just a count, or so we all know.. who is gonna be there for sure??? and whos the maybe's?? or the imma be there next year guy?? hahahaha.. just want to know whos gonna be there so we all would know or expect..

 

More bodywork?

Can't wait to see it... I mean... I love the way Apollo's tail lights look on your car already



Rod.

 

toss in the injectors, ECU turbo and manifold..

 

Where's the turbo going to get it's oil? Where will it drain the oil? Are you going to leave the exhaust open at the downpipe?
