Good news guys... I might be getting a '77 280Z Coupe in a few weeks. I think I told you guys about the guy who has one where I work? Well I'm gonna check it out this weekend and make sure she is good to go. The guy wants $900 for her so I definately want to see if she is worth that...

what plans do you have for it via??? engine swap of course right???

As for the z thing; I have the opportunity to buy a 93' VR4 with 99K mi with an upgraded 6 spd tranny for 5,500... what I was thinking about doing was just buying it, and stickin' it in the garage all winter, and selling it come spring time for like 7 or 8 grand to buy a 2+2... any thoughts guys??

Well, I figured I could park the Z32 for some long maintenance and some upgrades which will leave me car-less! What better daily driver than another Z? I'm not really planning on modding too much since the majority of the $$$ will be going to the Z32. Maybe Header and custom exhaust and some wheels for the time being. In the future maybe an L28ET swap... or another swap I've been dabbling with in my head...

Psh! I say buy the VR4 and then sell it for way more and then buy a Z32 TT! But I would probably keep the VR4.... nice cars!

xXxRocker5150 · #**5660** 01-17-2006, 08:04 PM

^I can't afford that car man, maintenance is gonna be a bitch!! but I was planning on getting a 2+2 and than TT'ing it.

If you can't afford a VR4 how and the hell are you gonna afford a Z32 2+2 and a swap? LoL

freakonaleash1187 · #**5662** 01-17-2006, 09:10 PM

that is a good idea to buy the VR4 for that cheap and then sell it later.

oye llz, check this site out...

I've seen that before, D. Some of the things on there seem like the people are just trying to do the most outlandish, crazy, complicated stuff that they can. I don't get this cuz the factory exhaust manifolds have been proven good till 700hp+. How much more do they need?

Nice camera, Freak. 5.1MP and I can tell it takes movies with sound, too...oooooooh the possibilities...

yep, fell down some stairs...i just didnt feel like explaining all of the injuries.

i was at work christmas day and i fell down a flight of stairs. it wasnt really that many but they were concrete. i dont know how i fell (if i missed a step, slipped on a spill, whatever)...

anyways, i must have hit just right. i will lit my injuries and then explain:

-De-gloving Injury on both legs near hips
-fractured left pelvis (totally seperated from hip bone)
-fractured right pelvis (2 hairline cracks)
-destroyed sacrum
-i also broke 2 of the knob thingys off of my spine ALMOST catching a couple nerves making me paralyzed from the hips down

degloving injury is probably the nastiest. my skin seperated itself from the muscle due from the trauma of the other injuries. then between my skin and muscle fills with fluid. my right leg is being taken care of through wound vacuums literally sucking out the fluid and in return keeping my leg together. this was because my right leg was in the way of putting in the plate and bolts to repair my sacrum.

pelvis is self explanitory

sacrum - i had to have a S.S. plate put in with a couple of rods and bolts to help my sacrum heal back together and keep it in its proper location. this metal pieces will stay in he rest of my life.

so...as you guys can see, my injuries were pretty in depth and severe. i had surgery the tuesday after christmas and was in that hospital for 20 days. after that 20 days i was trasnferred to a hospital closer to my home where i started rehab, which is where i am now. i have been here for 5 days but i will be released to home sunday.

i cannot put weight on my left leg for about 4-5 more weeks and total expected healing time is 4-6months.

so....enough about me. Z's rule all and i have a few tricks of my sleeve for mine! thou shall respect my Z! patience is a virtue, anyways, should be a fun ride no matter how long it takes to get running again.

How you did all that falling down a flight of stairs is beyond me. Nevermind that...hope you're aight, man! Sounds like you'll be ok relatively quickly which is always a bonus. Anyway...good luck, man and if you need anything I (we) can help with, feel free to post!!!
