  1. Probably NAPA, since they're NAPA Gold filters and all...
  2. Installed a new stereo system. 2 10" Rockford Fosgate R2s, a 500W RMS (tested true) Rockford Fosgate Mono amp, a Kenwood Excelon deck, and Alpine Type-S component speakers. Friggin pounds and is extremely clear.
  3. I skimmed through what he said, but the gist I got was he aligned the leftmost timing mark on the crank pulley with the arrow which SHOULD indicate No.1 TDC then dropped the distributor in, however if the pulley wasn't put back on correctly nothing will be in the right spot.
  4. Put a new radiator in. I also ordered all new ball joints, stabilizer bar links and bushings, panhard rod bushings, and tension rod bushings. Still working on finding some good rear axle links/bushings.
  5. Your confusion is totally understandable, I've done it before too because the crank pulley wasn't put back on correctly.
  6. Yeah it does. That's an extremely nice looking rig.
  7. I've seen an '87 in the junkyard with the 4 cylinders. Turboing a 4 cylinder that's in a car is totally different than turboing a 4 cylinder in a 4,000LB rolly polly olly SUV. You need torque down low, not up high waiting for boost to hit. Boosting the stock V6 is a WAY better option than swapping in a KA. They made the Z31 300ZX with turbos, their engines are almost identical to ours. Same rods, bearings, block, etc the only difference is the compression ratio was lowered to 7.8:1 from 9.1:1. It'll be incredibly snappy and have a hell of a lot more torque if you turbo the NA engine due to the higher compression ration, and at 10-11PSI you can easily hit 250HP.
  8. The moisture coming from the tailpipe sometimes is just condensation - totally normal.
  9. Thrashed on it hard this weekend at my buddy's cabin in Carson. Jumping stumps and logs, tight trails that scratched the hell out of the paint, redlining up long ass steep power line roads, etc. It was a blast.
  10. Sticky hold-in winding in the starter solenoid possibly.
  11. Took my basket off to paint it. Got it sanded and primed. I also detailed the interior, my friend who borrowed it for a few days left the inside trashed.
  12. That's backfiring. Through the intake usually means the engine isn't getting enough fuel.
  13. Yeah, no way you can get one of these things 76 degrees off...
  14. Yes, to replace it if it is the problem you have to replace the entire distributor.
  15. Take the heads off and throw some new valves in. The tensioner breaking isn't unheard of either.
  16. Drove it and got extremely mad at it... another bad MAF. This is what Z31s do with a bad MAF... By the way that obnoxious rattling is a busted baffle inside my muffler. Need to find the time to take it to have a free replacement put on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E6DaZvukjA
  17. Sounds good. That poor cold engine...
  18. Sounds like the Crank Angle Position Sensor went bad.
  19. I was wondering about that from another thread. It just doesn't make sense that this ONE vehicle has a different bleeding order than normal. I've bleed my brakes the normal way and there wasn't an issue, but I wasn't aware that Nissan changed it up in the FSM.
  20. Steve is one of our biggest suppliers lol
  21. Lol sound stupid... Wheelies are so much better.
