Did you get your inspiration from the show on Discovery Sucking Amps? I saw the guy drive an electric ZX on the show with a 5spd also. What Brandon said, more pics would be nice. Here is the website for those guys on the show and if your wondering how much ev parts cost. http://www.evparts.com/firstpage.php?PHPSESSID=a42c3f565ff2c56dd80877b1cf3bc720

Mike! You've become a purist, a Scarab purist. j/k!

Yep! repaint your Z pink and sell it for a profit. The Budweiser and the Quiznos i think are professionally done, if not he did a good job on them.

Here's one if your hungry.

I guess they do come out with custom ones except the pink one is described as "inserted into a single blister" http://cgi.ebay.com/Hot-Wheels-Datsun-240-Z-Budweiser-Beer-Custom_W0QQitemZ180050464205QQihZ008QQcategoryZ45352QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Here is one SuperDan will like.

Check this guy out, if i'm not mistaken he painted it and put it back in the package and is trying to resell it as a custom Z . http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-2007-Datsun-240Z-in-Pink_W0QQitemZ120054524834QQihZ002QQcategoryZ45352QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Howdy to you too.

Do you think the purist would hate this hybrid?

Excuse me Mike, i know your angry at the dude you bought your Ferrari from but it's not "fake" it's a Ferrari "emulator".

Based on my experience the Shop Vac brand itself literally sucks! It doesn't hold up, it's too noisy, dust flies everywhere and it's poor in quality. I tried the home depot brand and found that one better but it got stolen so i never had it that long to see if it would die.

While were on the subject, thieves tried to break into our business one night. They used something to pry the deadbolt to unlock, broke the door lock on the bottom and kept ramming and pushing the door till the door frame came off an inch from building. The reason why they couldn't get in was you had to PULL the door to open it. Thieves always get the upper hand when they break into my business causing more damage than actual cash stolen. It's nice to hear a story where the good guys win.

I was actually looking to see if they still had the 240Z model but they had none. So i was checking out this little superbird and didn't even notice the 240Z, i only caught a glimpse of the word "Datsun" on the side then i realized it was a Hotwheel Z. By the way if your in DFW i bought this at the Valley Ranch location not the one on 183.

I got the idea from that other forum. It's actually two packages, i just put it on top of each other. I got it at Wal Mart for .97 cents a piece. You can shop at Wal Mart now because they will now allow the word "Christmas" instead of Seasons Greetings in the music they play and when they greet you. hahaha! Just a joke i don't wanna make it political.

Like jt and Mark said, you need a good or fresh battery, the 75Amps is merely for boosting a weak battery and is not enough cranking amps to turn the engine over.

" I pity the fool":shock:

could be ignition related, check your coil packs maybe wires. Good Luck.

How hard would it be to tune and calibrate such a set up? looks great though

I have a Lumina LTZ with a 3.8 in it and the best i could do with slippery BF Goodrich touring tires is 16 in the 1/4. The car is supposed to run 15.8 but i really don't care because it's a grocery getter. The GTP stock 1/4 mile is supposed to be 14.5 or 14.7 i think. You won because your a better driver and the other guy is moron. And i think you misquoted him and he really left it on second from start to finish because his turbo supercharger wont kick in till "3" when the rearend changes gears. Nice Story.

So it was just switching to another radiator that solved the problem huh? At least that's a problem out of the way.

I've always liked Opel GTs and have seen a couple of conversions from 4cyl Quad 4 GM engines to 350 V8.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Opel-Custom-Award-Winning-ProStreet-Talk-to-the-Builder_W0QQitemZ150050574363QQihZ005QQcategoryZ6390QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Here is a link to one done a while back for a 3.1 V-6 http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/oana/tech/V6Conversion.pdf I think it would be interesting to see if you can convert yours to the SC Ecotec and see how it runs. Good Luck:icon14:

I think jimbob_racing and half the planet has issues with paypal.
