New Guy here From Huntington Beach Ca. Names Don

Bought a 90 Z32 N/A 2+2 sledge-O-matic last weekend.
Motor is toast,180K miles looking for someone local to help me yank the whole enchilada,

Need tips on manaul coversions. not into auto trans Cars, with the potential to "handle" I used to go to pick a part wilmington all the time, anyone local, been to wilmington pick a part lately?? are the z32's plentiful?

I'm an old 510 junkie, S30 Z31 and prior Z32 owner. currently drive a Big american Car LT1 .....you know
anyway It's been tough going on four years without a Z32 I miss the nimble & forgiving handeling these cars offer

BTW I was really suprised when
I found out my Z32 weighs the Same as my '95 caprice classic


you Guys wanna see my bitchen Z? It's Bitchen cause it cost 4500.00
less than my Caprice did.................... :grinyes:

















Good news is the injectors all seem to be working............. that's a joke

Slow Down chief...

i can tell you all about a 5-speed swap if you are seriously interested. i will give you the list of parts you need and walk you through the tricky parts.

as for the motor...i dont know where your talking about but there are tons of JDM importers that import good low mileage motors for way cheaper than you can get one from a wrecking yard.

anyways good luck with the Z. hope it makes you happy and welcome to the board.

pick a part isn't a normal wrecking yard they sell motors for 200.00,
used "JDM" motors are around 995.00 from Kwantanabe corp, the biggest near by importer I know of

I did see some on Ebay for less, but I don't usually buy things sight unseen. Well there was that boat from Ashtabula, Ohio

I love my new Car Real shame what the last owner did To her
Man He was one abusive Son of Bitch
