New guy... sorta...
I'm new to the site, but not to Z's. I've had mine since 2003. Bought her in San Diego right before I got out of the Corps then shipped her to Dallas where all I did was put miles on her. Now I'm in Utah and I keep her in a garage. I finally got a second car so I can baby the Z.
Anyway, Im just wanted to say Hi to e'erbody. |
w00t! Another Utahn! Welcome to ZDriver! :006:
|
Thank you. I'm still working on getting my Z registered here. It has a crack in the windshield and I doubt she'll pass emissions. Back in TX she has been exempt for a few years. How old does a car have to get to be exemt from emissions here? I've only been in Utah a few months and I have no idea how the classic/antique status works here.
|
1967 was the cut off for emissions. All cars 81-95 must pass the same emissions test (96+ is OBD II).
This is the PDF of emissions standards / cut points (right click & save as): http://www.utahcountyonline.org/apps...dCutpoints.pdf 1.2% CO 220 ppm HC |
Awwwwww Total bummer. Maybe I'll just leave my Texas plates on it. Hahahaha. Thanks for the info, though. For reals.
|
As long as the car still has a good cat, just turn down the timing & it should pass emissions. An oil change & new NGK spark plugs will help too.
Where abouts in SLC are you? |
I have a hole somewhere towards the front of the exhaust that I need to fix, but other than that she'll probably be okay. I'm down in Sandy. Almost into Draper.
|
Nice. I actually moved to Lehi a few months ago, so I'm right on the other side of the point of the mountain from ya... though my shop is still in Bountiful.
|
Awesome. My uncle lives right up there behind Cabellas so I'm in that area frequently. I love living up here. It's so clean and everyone is so nice. It's absolutely nothing like Dallas. Utah FTW!
|
w00t! Right on. I have a welder, so if you need to weld up the exhaust, lemme know.
|
Awesome! I would love to find some Z drivers in this area to learn from and hang out with and the like. Any reputable Z clubs in the area?
|
Indeed. www.utahzclub.com
Mostly 350z / G35 guys, but there are a few Z31 / 280ZX guys too. They go on cruises / meets all the time, and most live around the south end of Salt Lake, so not too far from you. |
Rad! I'll have to get together with those guys sometime.
|
nice, another nice 280ZX in Utah. Can't wait to see it in person.
|
I'll have her out on the street as soon as she's legal, assuming it's before we get snow.
|
At the pace I'm going, it may be next spring before I get mine back on the road...
|
I hope I can get mine out soon. It's so close to being ready but my disposable income is quickly diminishing.
|
Pretty sure my baby won't be on the road until next spring, so I feel your pain, audiofreak. I took on a million hours this semester and haven't had time to do much of anything but study the last few weeks.
