I don't even know where to start looking and I'm hoping to get some guide on who to contact. The parts list I've been given to look for includes:

Both timing chains - all guide rails, both chain tension-er(s), timing chain idler bearing - inner and outer, camshaft primary timing chain and sprockets. I'm needing access to both right and left sides.

The tech working on the car has found one timing chain but has run dry finding the other.

The car has been down for a while and thankfully I didn't damage the lower end but the top end is hurting. Any help will be greatly appreciated!! ]]> ZR-1Mike http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17479 Omaha http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17478&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 16:42:21 GMT Is anyone in Omaha?

Begin with a dead cold engine and turn the key:

Chick - Chick (sounds like it comes from the passenger front of the engine)

ZZZZZZZZZZZ (fuel pump, I think)

Click (under the driver side windshield wiper, starter solenoid, I think)

And what happens when I don't hear the ZZZZZZZZZZZ that I think is the fuel pump priming? ]]> ZR-1 Technical Postings Brad Sewell http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17475 Mecum Auction http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17474&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 19:49:47 GMT Lot G69 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Low miles, 23,804 and well cared for - New tires, less than 1,000 miles - Brake job in last 1,000 miles, including new ATE brake fluid and rotor service up - New slave cylinder, clutch master cylinder, and GM clutch fluid - New spark plugs - Serviced...

The fuel pumps are not priming and the owner told me that the Z had a stumble to it the last time he drove it. However I do not have a fuel pressure gauge to check. I have checked the fuses but could not locate the relays. I looked in the passenger side dash under the carpeted area and removed the glove box and didn’t see the relays. I have 2 new fuel pumps should I just change or try tracing the relay first? I am trying to have the car ready to leave for BG at 3AM tomorrow.

I am a commercial Electrician who smartly saved his money and smartly (or so I truly believe) invested it into a ZR-1. Judging the market, the recession, and many other factors, I truly believe that the ZR-1 Corvette will be the next big collector item. Those of my generation (I am 28) have no loyalty to the 69 chevelles or comaro's, the shelby or mach I mustangs. They weren't from my time, and while they all deserve the honor they receive they have no true emotional impact of being 6 or 8 years old and dreaming of the car like the one I just purchased. I truly believe that the ZR-1 will become the hot ticket item as those of my generation come of age (and money.)

That being said, I found the Z for me. I searched the internet high and low for the right one. I spent over four months searching, but to no avail. I was about to give up and just grab a new Mustang 5.0 GT (I have a soft spot for Mustangs.) Then I stumbled upon a very shortly worded message on the Corvette Forum boards. All the others I had considered had been posted on many boards, sites, and blogs. Owners desperately trying to sell their car. To me that raised a flag. But this post I could not replicate anywhere. It was short, to the point (3 sentences,) and contained no pictures. It was obvious to me that the owner was not truly committed to selling the car. And that was exactly what I was looking for.

After several e-mails, I decided to drive down to the seller's house (which happened to be only 4 hours down the interstate.) I brought no money, and no intention to purchase; only a camera. I took several (about 40) pictures and drove home.

I slept like a baby the first night, after many hours of driving it was necessary. But after the first night, sleep became labored. I would find myself waking up after midnight just to boot the laptop and examine the pictures. This endured several days. I started to go to work late, and often times caught myself hearing the sounds of the LT-5 in my head until being interrupted by one of my apprentices. It was at this point that the devil on my left shoulder pierced the heart of the angel on my right with his trident of cast aluminum (with Iron inserts by the Devil's demand of course.)

A series of e-mails followed and I was offered a price I simply couldn't refuse. Guided by the devil on my left shoulder I allocated the funds, horse-traded the use of an enclosed track-trailer and dually, and made my way down the Interstate.

The man I purchased my Z from was, in my opinion, the best of what Mankind has to offer. It is rare to find such a caring, honest, gentle, true-hearted and true-minded soul who has a love for automobiles. It is my regret that I do not live closer because he is a man that I can look up to and strive to become. (Charley K, Although I have your Z, you have my full respect and admiration. You will never be Z-less, for your Z will endure as a tribute to your love of it which I share.)

The car it self has a lineage of owners of near retirement age. The maintenance records are near complete. The flaws are as follows:
1) carpet pulling away from the dash on the passenger side, L and R of the glove box (easy fix)
2) Shift boot nearing detachment
3) Stone chip very center of hood
4) OEM oil cooler and radiator hoses need replacing
5) Clutch slave, master, and lines should be replaced
6) Spark plug wires need replacing (want to keep the LT-5 marked ones in good working order)
7) Driver seat left lateral support shows some minor wear (as it should)

The car has a Corsa exhaust (installed at the Corsa factory itself) The OEM exhaust is in AZ awaiting arrangements to be shipped in. It has a K&N air filter installed but the modifications were made to an aftermarket intake and I have all the original parts intact. Every part that was replaced I was given the original component that was removed, beit the brake master cylinder, or the PCV valve. I have all the original parts. I even have the stock battery (non fiunctional.) Add to that the car still has the sticker on the dash plexiglass stating that all gauges are not linear, consult manual , for customer removal only.

The car is a black/saddle 93 with 17500 odometer.
I won't say what I paid, but it would be interesting to see you guys tell me what it's worth.

Best regards,
Aaron

EDIT: The car has new Vredestein tires on OEM A-molds. The original tires are in good condition on the original sawblades (one has very minor curb rash which is able to be covered by a weight.) The LTPS light is on because the tire pressure sensors are on the sawblades with the original tires, which still have OEM air in them and I don't want to remove them.

The dealer might have marked this 1990 Black ZR-1 a bit high.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...item2a1d0e8c94

Even if this car had delivery miles, getting $50,000 is a bit much.

But then again, maybe the prices have gone up dramatically? :)

1991
Torch Red / Black
Dual Tops
14,900 miles
New Tires only have 1500 miles on them (still retain original tires) Excellent shape inside & out, EVERYTHING works and the car is stock aside from lowering. Since I've owned the car I've done a lot of the general maintenance that these cars seem to need:

1. Replaced injectors with FIC stainless steel injectors
2. Replaced rear Bose amplifiers, front as working fine.
3. Replaced "O" ring for camshaft position sensor
4. New plug wires but still retain the original set with the LT5 logo
5. Oil Change (still retain 4 original OEM filters)
6. Full alignment and balancing

The car runs very strong and the primary and secondary system work great, no vacuum leaks, interior and exterior are in excellent condition. Car cover included, full shop manuals included with car, title is clean and clear. ]]> avijay http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17457 Plans for WAZOO Caravan to Bowling Green http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17456&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 18:22:24 GMT Here is my suggestion for the WAZOO caravan to Bowling Green for the ZR-1 Gathering: Travel on Wednesday, 16 May 2012.
