    Silly 350z's

    89+ Tail light Conversion questions

    yeh, if you just like the shape of the 89+ i say get USDM ones, paint the middle to match the car (if you want it to look like there is no middle section), and tint the sides so they are darker cherry red like the JDM...please dont modify JDM 3pc..that would be FTL

    89+ Tail light Conversion questions

    if you dont want the middle section then why destroy a perfectly good set of JDM 3pc by painting them...someone else could use them that actually want the 3pc. if you simply want darker tail lights just get some tint spray and problem solved. or if you just like the setup/styling of the 89+...

    Tinting Hatchback?

    i would think ammonia will work as well. ammonia breaks down the glue in tint and also turns it purple. that is why when you tint you windows you have to pay attention to what kind of glass cleaner you use, unless of course you wanted purple windows.

    rebuilding 7M

    i did not order the bearings, the previous owner had already bought the pistons, rings, gasket set, and bearings. i am hoping that i can use the standard size bearings. which part should i machine on the rod? You have to machine the rods to use arp rod bolts?

    Tinting Hatchback?

    if it is good quality tint it will actually help the defroster. the other guys are right though, it is goin to be hard to remove the tint without messing up defrost..

    coolant over pressurized?

    well like ozz said, it could be your radiator. i think the first thing i would do is the head gasket and hoses and thermostat...i was actually having a similar problem and will be pulling my motor in a week or two to fix all my problems. which include head gasket, hoses, some other gaskets...

    coolant over pressurized?

    headgasket, thermostat, clogged lines and some other possibilities. however, knowing that the head gasket didn't seat im leaning more towards bhg than any other problems. what does the coolant/oil look like?

    7mgte rebuild and upgrades...........again

    what is an acceptable RA? i know everyone says "as smooth as possible" but that could be different for different shops. as smooth as possible for some shops could mean using 50grit sandpaper..

    Nippon NPR pistons.

    is there a way to tell if they are knock offs or not? the reason i ask it bc i already have a set, came with my car, that are supposed to be .20 over. if they are the real ones and better than stock i might as well bore and use them right? btw im pulling the motor in about two weeks to do a semi...
