Aha. Picked up my LTZ at 7:30 this morning, and I had someone drive it 25 minutes to my shop so I can drop off my 97 Z34 because were limited to parking where I live. Anyways, I'm driving the 97 Z34 about 80mph, a couple WOTs to pass cars prior to this, and I hear BANG. Oil pressure light comes on, all the lights turn on after that and the engine idles as I hear chunks of metal banging around under the hood. Soooo thats the end of THAT car... It lasted 50,000km while I owned it, and was crushed today at 172,653km.

I must say though, with all the problems I've heard of on here with peoples DOHC montes, I've had pretty good luck with my car, and it only went through a fuel pump in 50k. either way, I've got what I put into it!

yeah, scrap yard closes at 4:30. LOL

I loaded a 97 Monte Carlo LS on the trailer, and my 97 Z34 on top. I just left the leather interior and alot of good parts, new wheel bearing, strut mounts, brakes, all kinds of sh*t... I just wanted it gone!

yeah, its not fun parting cars out either though, people say they will buy sh*t and never come through, by this time you've taken the part off and are waiting for payment, I would have loved to taken the leather interior out, it was MINT, back seats never been sat in, and the passenger seat had zero cracks, and was MINT, I just put it in 2 weeks ago!
