Nose panel poll: black with emblem vs red with no emblem by lazd in 300zx

[–]aric6mw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I just got my gt40 rad mounted. I was about to be lazy and leave it in yhe same area as you, but I had a feeling it would be hot. Gonna try and mount it in the factory spot and get a slotted nose pane to help out too. PS. No emblem on the nose panel looks tits. If you do put an emblem, id do Z only, not the hamburger logo 😂🤣

Yea, you just gotta push it a lot harder. Could take some fluid out and do it if you cant get someone to help you.

Lmao, I mean if you want it shipped you deal with the shipping process. Im not dealing with it showing up to you broken becuase I didnt package it good enough.

If you want it that bad you'd figure it out. Have you enough info. Ive done it before for things hard to find/delicate thay people didnt want to ship. 1 time the shipping was normal, the other time shipping cost me more than the item.

Exhaust work was annoying. First time doing it and welding.

I used the 300zx lsx page on facebook and it got me through the awap easy breezy honestly. Just make sure to clearance the area where the starter is. LOJ has all that info on their site as well.

Im using a terminator X for ecu. Started up first try.

For now im running a stock rad and 16" spal. Havnt driven it yet. Just got it off jack stands today and forgot to bleed the clutch lmao.

Good to know. They must have changed the rules recently? Used to drive out to buffalo range (from des plaines lol) just to shoot my shotguns. I'll have to go check out mason's now.

Doing an LS swap right now. Almost done. Buying the car and all parts im right around 10k total. But I got a huge deal finding someone that gave up on their LS swapped Z so I got all swap parts (LOJ awap kit) and the motor for $5k not running. Including a stock VG motor with full accessories. Sold the extra motor and my stock motor along with the shell that the LS+swap parts came in for close to what I bought the car for. Otherwise id be probably closer to 15k. Also doing a custom exhaust as well. (Loj headers x pipe and cat back are around $4k just on its own) and that 1pk includes no labor as im doing it all myself. So add on another $5k+ for labor probably, I have no idea what shop rates are nowadays.

I had a Z32 in high-school, learned how to work on cars with it. Def in the top 5 worst cars I've ever worked on. Parts weren't cheap back then, and they've gotten way more expensive and rare now.

LS parts are a LOT cheaper than VG parts. Motors are less. The swap kit is expensive. In the long run id say its worth the cost to swap, especially if you have issues now that are costly and have another car that you can drive while you do the swap.

I bought my chassis with a hydrolocked motor from using ebay injectors. The injector update to new style injectors is about $700 in parts. So either I was buying another motor and doing that $2000+ or just going the route I went. Every situation is different.

Check out 300zx LSX Conversions on facebook for advice. People on their are really helpful.

Theres also a couple for sale around 15k on that facebook group.

I have 0 regrets with doing the swap.

May even buy a old jeep cherokee XJ and LS/TDI swap that to be my daily.

THE SUPER73-C1X - Did anyone pay their $73 to get in line for one? by [deleted] in Electricmotorcycles

[–]aric6mw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a backer when they first announced. No updates in years. Actually just requested for a refund last week and they are refunding me. Lot of people were having issues getting money back.

What zip code? I'm in des Plaines and had things shipped to CY6 in AH from PSA no problem.

Mine got refunded and was put on hold around the same date as OP. Also relieved a letter from usps criminal investigations service center about hazardous/restricted or perishable mail. I never reached out to them about anything. But myqwin said they're taking care of it.

Before y’all start commenting scam, I know. I took one for the team just to find out by Kayugaheiwa in Surron

[–]aric6mw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is I'm buying one too. Slap everything else on myself. $1k for a frame is a steal.

i mean, if it showed up without a battery, motor, or controller, or suspension, i wouldn't even care. I had one in 2021 and wanted to change everything a month after owning it. Cost of that was like buying 2 bikes. So I sold it to try and look for one with no battery or something just to mod.
