    having helped change the valve cover gaskets on one of the NA 300ZX's, don't do it! get a 4 cycl 4dr gas sipper for then the supra is down or a light truck (better to pick up parts or tow if needed) 2, 2dr cars doesnt make alot of sense. 2 moddable cars makes even less

    Pre-Purchase Inspection Tips

    Laptop Bios locked dell 1000

    you're boned. You could try removing the battery and see if there's a way to set the jumpers on the motherboard to reset it back to factory defaults but don't hold your breath as I've been 50/50 on that working.
