the Z is called the Fairlady in JDM land.
You would be getting these badges though, since they belong with your car's generation... <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=93094-30P01">http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/ ... 3094-30P01</a><!-- m -->

JackoliciousLegs Wrote:how much $$$? 130k on a boosted track car? well... nissan reliability... Yeah, I hear you on the 130k. Frankly though, this car is in remarkable condition, and I'm not worried that anything *major* will go wrong, but I am going to give it some extensive maintenance work and do everything I can to prolong the life of the engine. I'm going to do a compression test along with the 60k maintenance, we'll see what happens.. In any case, I got a pretty good price on it and have budgeted for several thousand dollars worth of maintenance and upgrades to keep it running reliably for many years to come.

ALWAYS DO A COMPRESSION TEST BEFORE YOU BUY A CAR

Just watch the gauge as you turn it over and hold the bleed open, it will give you a very good idea of whats going on.
Not as good as the factory tester, but not many places have them.

+1 vote for MMTTZ, that's great! 8)

MichaelJComputer Wrote:ALWAYS DO A COMPRESSION TEST BEFORE YOU BUY A CAR Yes, this is definitely the correct thing to do. So why didn't I do it, especially considering the age and mileage of the car? A few reasons, none of them good: Test drive was incredibly strong, idle was smooth, no strange exhaust colors, getting to the rear plugs requires an act of Congress and several months of labor.... So was it a bonehead thing to not check, and was I blinded by the boost? Yes. A thousand times yes. And if the compression test turns out poorly, you can say "i told you so", and I'll come out a few grand ahead after parting it out... Stay tuned...

Car ran great.

my old motor, well i didnt do a compression test either.... but we arent talking madza.... we are talking honda... and when RJ and i broker her down it looked in great shape for a motor that died with 184k miles on her. the new motor tested out great, but i dont have the numbers i would have to yap it up with the BandT guys to find out... if they remember.

Others.... it just bounces around at 30psi. Some people claim to be able to read that... i don't. Ask rex.. you shoulda seen that bitch bounce.
