Replying to: fezo (Mar 01, 2009 6:25 pm) the first one, i said i don't care what it looks like as long as it has a 2 car garage. this house, my main requirement was a 3 car garage, 1 for the convertible. there are about 30k people in the town i live in. can there really be 3 90's grey 300zx's in the same town? my neighbor 3 houses down has one, i see another one that has a 'stillen' banner across the top of the windshield and now another one?

Replying to: explorerx4 (Mar 01, 2009 6:52 pm) I only have the one car garage. In a couple of years I'll me moving one way or another. If I stay in state to keep a house that's never been out of the family it has a two car garage. If I go elsewhere tow car is minimum. I have a red 99 Celica convertible. I've seen an identical car around town and the other day I found it lives like two blocks from here. Maybe I should find some time when the owner isn't at home and swap some parts. I suppose that's not actually a good idea...

Well, shifty, I know we said not to bury myself ... but I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down and spent more money on the Z this weekend. $79 for a new CD/MP3/USB stereo! ;b That, in addition to whatever door speakers were left in there and an Infinity Basslink I happened to have sitting around, makes for a pretty nice setup. I really hoped I could get the original to work, but one of the POs just did a number on it. Weird thing is the way they went about putting things out of commission. For instance, stereo fuse removed, harnesses removed, but all wiring beyond the harness left in place. Additionally, the original setup had an amp under the seat. I saw wires hanging out from there, so I pulled the seat and found the removed the amp, but left the wires there. Ugh. Oh, I did get the heat to work at no cost, though. Once again, I found that, in a fit of incompetence, they pulled the relay loose and left it sitting ever so lightly on the receiver (in addition to pulling the fuse). Huh. What in the world would possess someone to do that? Anyway, after a half hour or so of troubleshooting, I discovered this, pushed it back into place, and voila. Heat! Auto climate system seems to work perfectly so far, sans A/C, of course.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 02, 2009 11:11 am) We should probably give some credit to Nissan, too, though ... maybe. Just seems like these cars hold up pretty well (mechanically, at least). |

Replying to: fintail (Mar 06, 2009 8:18 am) 76 Rolls --- half the asking price would be a gift to the seller 69 Lincoln --- head her into the wind---launch aircraft!!! Asking price is exact retail. Fair enough. 67 Pontiac 4D --too much money. Try half that. This is a plain jane that needs paint and bodywork. Get real please. Might make a good parts car for a Cat convertible. |
