  1. I can vouche for Josh's concerns about doing everything RIGHT on the drive... DWG Police Suck!!! Many a times Ive been pulled over for stupid things, or friends have. Things like too many fog lights for the street(2 werent even on and my friend hadnt taken them off when he put the new ones on). Randomly getting stopped for ABSOLUTELY NO reason...stupid small town cops trying to make their quota!!! GRRR Anywayz...be safe!
  2. When is it ever a GOOD thing when something on a motor breaks? Only thing I can think of is it gives incentive to upgrade:-o Jeremy
  3. I agree with Challenger about being specific. I dont know jack really about those things, Ive dabbled into each one of those areas, but never get very far due to my own preferences...Im currently doing bodywork on my Z. I would recommend however, to search on one specific area of your post at a time...dont try and search for everything all at once...becuz you will get no where thata way! What are your overall goals?...Where do you want to end up? Also...stating the obvious...allot a good deal of money for unexpected costs...theres nothing like a nice costly suprise, right in the middle of your build...to throw a wrench in the gears! Jeremy
  4. I like! Complete change-over? What ideas are brewing? Progress is something to be had, less of!
  5. I wasnt comparing the stock to the Fidanza. The stock is I think 24lbs?I dont remember...the Fidanza is 10.5lbs. The Fidanza was not the control in the experiment mentioned. Having the mechanical clutch installed and off the car was...and from my personal experience...yes, having no mechanical fan on the car made a noticeable difference. Im not saying much..but I could feel it. Also...who said anything about a 280zx? Read my signature next time:) Also...i did both runs about an hour apart...so its not like i did the run with the mech fan on the car in 105degree weather...and the run without the mech fan at 30degree weather. Everything under my control was the same Jeremy
  6. I have a f54/p90a in my 78 280z. I got a Fidanza flywheel and installed it. When I first drove it I had no fan, and could tell a noticeable difference with no stock mechanical fan, compared to having the stock mechanical fan installed now. I need to get an electric fan and install, but currently in the process of painting the car and will address that issue later on. Jeremy
  7. MotorSportAuto sells downpipes. But you knew that from searching. Id keep the oil cooler just incase. Probably dont need it in the beginning...but Im sure if you keep wanting more power youre going to need it eventually! Better safe then sorry:) What do you mean about the fuel tank? The t3/t4 question...look on here in the for sale area, youll eventually find it lol. Find some members that have done everything youre lookin at doing(specific year car doesnt matter for most of your questions)and read their posts. This will probably help you out with IC & plumbing, MS components/install. Just my 2 cents... Jeremy
  8. Damn, thats not cool. JC...did you know him?
  9. For starters...you need to be more specific with your post. What year car? Be more detailed overall...even if it is not completely relevant for your post. People around here LOVE details...My point is if you ask a really vague question...youre probably going to recieve a very vague answer! And being a newb is no excuse...Ill be nice(trust me...others wont be) and say...Will you please search before posting...Not tryin to be an a$$hole, just tryin to give you some advice. Jeremy Maybe broken ring, causing the piston to slap around inside the cylinder??
  10. Niccceee! I have wondered exactly what compresor surge meant for some time now...just never got around to looking it up lol. If I thought about it, it was while I was away from the comp. In the future I plan on going over to a turbo motor...but have a few more stages to complete before I begin to get into that area! But what you said made a lot of sense, and even if youre off somewhat on the explaination...I, at least learned something! Jeremy
  11. So what are you gonna do with your Solstice (correct car...right?) seats?
