  1. I'm asking cause, I like the chromed shifter gate that they have and was wondering if it's a pain in the as* when doing quick downshifts? I'd like to build one for the Z but, if it's to much discomfort, I'll pass. Thanks.
  2. Ever been done??? Possible??? Would be nice to have a six speed, RWD, RB powered Z.
  3. I almost ran for my welding goggles when I looked at the pic were you're cutting the shaft. LOL. Great writeup by the way, very nice pics and tell your bro. that his shop is very nice, everything is so tidy and well equipped. 1 question though, why do they lift the dyno so high?
  4. I don't think that importers really like you to open motors, as most of them void the warranty if anything is opened. To see if there's shavings in the oil without removing the pan, a good trick is to cut the oil filter in half on it's lenght and inspect the filter material inside. If you have alluminum flakes, something is wrong in the head. If you have copper or something that looks close to it, a bearing is probably crying for mercy. Etc...
  5. Yeah but, like I said, it sounds like TOO MUCH of a good deal to ME. $3800 for... Come on!!! Sounds like the guy tested with dry cylinders, the engine sat for a few months in the humid confines of it's container on a ship, this can cause the rings to stick and the engine needs to turn a few times (even on the starter) before it'll grind this little layer and oil flows back in the engine and give the real results. At least, this has been the case a few times for me in the past. So, like it's been said above, if you can go see the engine and have the guy spin the engine for a few minutes (few seconds at a time) and check compression again.
  6. I hadn't realised that you had a considerable budget, therefore...
  7. Sounds to go to be true... to me at least.
  8. Interesting but... you can BIY for a lot less, OK, maybe not A LOT LESS but, quite less.
  9. Oups! TOO LATE, now I know about it... J/K, it's all yours, you lucky bas*#&d.
  10. Ugly RWD cars are cool, especially Maximas and Cressidas.
  11. Hun! I guess there's no arguing on that subject, with a guy named SR240Z LOL.
  12. Trim the Mohawk 1/4", you'll be good LOL. BTW, the best OEM seats out there are the R32 GTR's. They aren't really good lookin' but, they are grip monsters.
  13. Yeah! I guess YOU got us all beaten by a fair margin. Not to much people living above you.
  14. Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! The great North, I feel you pain guys, I live even further up north, across the boarder, I'm in the same situation. I did a head gasket outside last week an it started snowing and blowing like hell, not fun at all. Alex, from the great with north.
