  1. The speedo cable I'll check out. I think it's still in good shape but I want to be absolutely sure. The dist though needs to be rebuilt. I already pulled the good one from it for my 81ZX. Email me and I'll see what I can do about that cable though. naviathan @ gmail.com

  2. I have a set of them I'm using for my stroker build. I couldn't get my hands on any 9mm rods either. Unless you're planning on pushing huge boost and incredible horse power number I don't think you need 9mm. But, getting the ARP bolts is still a must.

     

    On the same line I'm curious if anyone knows if the 9mm and 8mm rods are the same aside from the bolt? If so wouldn't it be feasible to just drill and tap for the 9mm? Just curiosity.

  3. In the last 10-15 minutes i noticed I can view most threads, some say I don't have the privileges to view the thread. And some of the threads I can view don't have a reply box and when I click quote to reply it says I don't have the privileges for that either...I'm a bit confused....Is something going on with the forum?

  4. Hybrid77Z, Is this the same Hybrid77Z from ZCAR.com??? Why yes you are, and yes you must go... conduct unbecoming a human being... You and your boy Norm can have the Zcar.com sandbox to yourselves. :2thumbs:

    Not sure what this was over, but can I just say THANK YOU!!! I don't mean to rub things in here, but Hybrid77z is the reason I won't go back over to zcar.com for anything. I use to frequent both forums, but the mods there seem to support Hybrid77z and his pompus attitude, yet delete and ban others with anything real to add to the forum.

  5. This question is asked so often it should be a sticky...

     

    As stated above Money=Power

     

    As far as cheap power goes the only way you're getting that is if you have the tools and skills to do you're own porting, intake fabrication, exhaust and cam regrinds. Cam regrinds are fairly inexpensive, but that depends on your version of inexpensive. Give us a budget and we'll give you some more info.

     

    Things to start with would be gutting the cat to free flow the exhaust some more, you've opened up the intake with the K&N already so that's about it for now. Money money money. How fast do you want to spend?

  6. haha

    Which Historical Lunatic Are You?

     

    You are Joshua Abraham Norton, first and only Emperor of the United States of America!

    Born in England sometime in the second decade of the nineteenth century, you carved a notable business career, in South Africa and later San Francisco, until an entry into the rice market wiped out your fortune in 1854. After this, you became quite different. The first sign of this came on September 17, 1859, when you expressed your dissatisfaction with the political situation in America by declaring yourself Norton I, Emperor of the USA. You remained as such, unchallenged, for twenty-one years.

    Within a month you had decreed the dissolution of Congress. When this was largely ignored, you summoned all interested parties to discuss the matter in a music hall, and then summoned the army to quell the rebellious leaders in Washington. This did not work. Magnanimously, you decreed (eventually) that Congress could remain for the time being. However, you disbanded both major political parties in 1869, as well as instituting a fine of $25 for using the abominable nickname "Frisco" for your home city.

    Your days consisted of parading around your domain - the San Francisco streets - in a uniform of royal blue with gold epaulettes. This was set off by a beaver hat and umbrella. You dispensed philosophy and inspected the state of sidewalks and the police with equal aplomb. You were a great ally of the maligned Chinese of the city, and once dispersed a riot by standing between the Chinese and their would-be assailants and reciting the Lord's Prayer quietly, head bowed.

    Once arrested, you were swiftly pardoned by the Police Chief with all apologies, after which all policemen were ordered to salute you on the street. Your renown grew. Proprietors of respectable establishments fixed brass plaques to their walls proclaiming your patronage; musical and theatrical performances invariably reserved seats for you and your two dogs. (As an aside, you were a good friend of Mark Twain, who wrote an epitaph for one of your faithful hounds, Bummer.) The Census of 1870 listed your occupation as "Emperor".

    The Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, upon noticing the slightly delapidated state of your attire, replaced it at their own expense. You responded graciously by granting a patent of nobility to each member. Your death, collapsing on the street on January 8, 1880, made front page news under the headline "Le Roi est Mort". Aside from what you had on your person, your possessions amounted to a single sovereign, a collection of walking sticks, an old sabre, your correspondence with Queen Victoria and 1,098,235 shares of stock in a worthless gold mine. Your funeral cortege was of 30,000 people and over two miles long.

    The burial was marked by a total eclipse of the sun.

  7. Huh? If it has a viscious in it, I'd be surprised. Those are very rare. Its most likely a CLSD if its a LSD at all...

    I wasn't aware the 300ZX used a clutch type LSD. I only remember there being the open diff and the VLSD from the Shiro and turbo models.

     

    In any case if the clutches are going bad the diff fluid will be dark grey or black from the wear.
