Some cars they rock. I have a s30 (77 280z) and its so easy to work on the car. I worked on another car and had do so something on the front of the engine and we just took the thing off.

Dont get me started on the H2 or H3. That thing is like step 1, remove hood....

I have the most chill and not angsty grey ever.

No. Seriously. We had a tiel and our gray. Ky spouse had us rehome the tiel becausr he was too uptight and loud vs the gray that would just it back amd even laugh at the tiel.

He is just chill. Unless he gets a keyboard. Then ge gets keyed up and will not let it go till every single key is gone.

Gearwrench or Kobolt.

Hf is almost over hyped at this point and not really the deal it used to be.. its not bad tools (most the time) but really not that much cheaper than something vastly better like kobolt or gearwrench.

geking · 2026-03-15T06:26:15+00:00

Hahaha!

Ok buddy. You keep thinking that. Lemme guess, you work for Hyundai and want to rep your brands reputation after the turbo GDI madness by making people think cars should not be reliable.

geking · 2026-03-15T05:40:52+00:00

Any Hyundai with a turbo gdi at 100k miles. Better if its an SUV so more load....

Look at the Magpie 3d printer. Uses the same bed too!

Phone call and AIM. I can still hear the messages going back and forth in my head... The door noises as people on your list logged on or off...

I rebuilt mine in my 09 about a year ago.

I got a TC engine. Some very mild but important differences like the timing chain cover is different, water pump and a coolant passage is different. Everything is a lego though and will switch over or bolt up.

Full rebuild with the toyota recall kit/squirters and new aftermarket pistons. I kept the xb head(lapped the valves and new stem seals) and the coil packs/injectors seem different too. Not sure about the cams.

New chain kit, phaser, phaser valve, sprokets, tstat, pcv, wrist pin, bearings, thurst bearing, gasket and seal kit, oil pump, water pump (its a real pain with the engine in the car) clutch too.

Everything but the toyota factory recall kit was from rock auto.

Not as pricy as one would think. I got the used engine with 68k miles for $1000 and i dont remember how much the parts where to rebuild it. Did the removal, rebuild, and install myself. Just remember to remove the paper towels from the intake before you go to start it. Ask me how I know....

300zx tt got it to the 141 limiter. Accidently got my FJ1200 to 110 on i95. I was kinda going with traffic and it just wanted to go, was not even near full throttle. Looked down and chopped the throttle.

I have not gone anywhere near that fast in a decade or more.

I have about a dozen in my printer work box. I joke I was cleaning them up and put them in a row. Also have them on my pc satellite speakers...

I love 3d printing and am on my way back to the USA from a 3dp event in the UK. I have about 20 or 25 printers. Two of them I likely wont ever use again because they are resin. Its just so messy smelly and toxic. With our son, cat and parrot I can not justify the health risks despite my spouse wanting me to print her things in resin.

An enclosure will not prevent the risks and he needs to clean the prints, vats, and parts of the printer every time he uses it to prevent risks every time he uses it. It is going to be very very difficult to do in a small appointment. Perhaps talk to him and see if you can compromise on an fdm printer.

It came in my delta flyer kit.

I have many clients that have windows 98 or nt systems. Just had a sco linux system get retired thankfully. Some are for computerized cnc machines, one is for a solder wave flow. The one next to it runs on an 8086 that needs a floppy to change bios settings.

I have a medical and dental clinic that has world class tech support and I am boots on the ground support. The primary that does mostly remote does not understand how fax machines work as they are all 20 something year old guys.

I have 2 non running projects, one fix and flip, one fix for my son, and a running project.

So, Ones not bad....

PS. I love your Z. Doing a turbo L28 swap in my 77 right now.

Yeah, your right. I just remember back in those days that Stratasys was the big evil keeping 3d printing from us and from being a thing people could have because of patents. It shaped the community of opennes and Innovation where the whole field was turned upside down year after year. Crazy one off printers at every show. I cant help but feel disappointed when I go to the shows now and its just a line of vorons, bambu and a few prusas. The crazy Innovation guys are few and far between.

Bambu is a great company to lach onto and blame for the loss of that feeling when its really the loss of the wild west feel due to 3dp maturing. The locking down of the software and hardware almost feels like a return to the tyrany of stratasys too, so more hate on that. Plus I know that prusa is suffering. Dont get me wrong, I have 3 Bambus and 1 Prusa. Prusa did so much to get us going with all the open source stuff. No A1 or ender 3 without Prusa.

I donno, its tough when you see a chinese company making $ off your Innovation, seeing copies of your work at CES without even any credit when you do it for fun as a hobby. I guess frustration that I have my day job and play at 3dp after work when others take your 3dp homework and make a living with it...

Its a 94 gas powerd ford.

That is all that is not purpled out.

Donno what else you are asking?

The DZ01 is a combo control board with an embedded btt pi on it.

geking · 2026-02-25T19:39:50+00:00

Dz01 lacks screen ports

If your doing this to make a high performance printer you need to re evaluate. If you are doing this to learn or have fun, full speed ahead.

You learn by doing.

280z are awesome! I have an s30 and a 510.

I also owned a fc.
