  1. Will do. Thanks for the shout! Looking forward to the mount. Thanks,
  2. Looks like these days Hybridz is getting positive press and some stern defenders. Way to go guys!
  3. Good job bjhines. Your hard work is worth a million. Keep us posted. And Mike......bring a camera!
  4. I voted for the Z, cause it's a Z. A 240 no less...one owner!
  5. Good job on smoothing things over Alex. Facts are the driving force here. Opinions are what they are. I have a 240SX also. Had a head gasket prob. Had the gasket replaced, head reworked and it went again just a few days later... This summer I would like to replace the entire engine. N/A of course. JDM. Been watching the JDM engines thread. Your thoughts? See I can ask for an opinion!
  6. Throw me on the list. I'll be watching the thread, got the bread. Price?
  7. Mike. I really admire you twisted mind.
  8. That would make you royalty!! You are a true gentleman. Regardless of who or where they come from, I think it is safe to say that they will always be refered to as the Ron Tyler Diff Mount. Like the cresent wrench, vise grip, or the ever famous regardless of who manufactures it....monkey wrench. Thanks for the solid design and the use of your drawing Ron.
  9. Hell I pay Ron myself!! Just whip one up!! As Jessica Simpson would say, "I don't know what it is. But I totally want one"! Cash or check. Thats all I got to say.......
  10. Roost Nice work. If its to print, you know I want one. Remember, I was the one begging for some one to make one for me. Clean design. Perhaps you should contact Ross, Black Dragon, or both to market them for you. Regardless I want one........
  11. ME again here! How many does that make? Military verticle lift! Tiltrotor baby! Yes they are on temp grounding. Back up computer chip issue. Be back in the air next week. If it wasn't for problems, I wouldn't have a job!!
  12. I think he was after an install exiting the pipes in front of the rear wheels. Of course the stock location would work. He appears to be looking for the dual short pipe look. If the shop took it the way that I did, they were correct. Maybe....
  13. Thats what I was thinking. Where are you going to house the muff? Considering any fab to the chassis? Slick idea however.....
  14. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=107794&highlight=suspension+faq This is a freebe.....good luck!
  15. Thanks J. That would have been my next move. It's heavy metal and would have to be cut at a shop any how. I have mig and stick but if a shop had to cut it I might as well pay for the assembly. Thanks wood. Good advise. One would think that Ross would have it on the shelf!! Wuz up wiff dat? BTW I PM'ed Mat last monday. Must be on vacation. Roostmonkey, let me know what you need. Im ready to buy. Maybe you should whip up a few? Pm if you need anything. Maybe soon I can post pics of an install!!! Lookin good wigenOut!! Thanks guys,
  16. I'll take that as a no! Bummer..... Any one that didn't catch this this last weekend?
  17. Hey! Anyone out there make the Ron Tyler Diff Mount for hire? Im willing to pay good money for one. I have the print and the welding equip but.... Im farming out as much as possible to move the beast along. I have already farmed out the Power Brute install and suspension blast and coat. The paint too of course but shes not ready. Any takers or has this been tried before
  18. Peg Leg!! That is too funny! Yeah, everyone in the parking lot, just standing there, shaking their heads! I like the links too. Especially the visuals. Zedsaid...if you do have an open diff, you might take a look at the rear swaybar. Sounds from what you are saying that someone might have modified the suspension. The Z, having independent rear suspension, does not benifit from too large a sway bar. Especially if slightly underpowered and wet pavement. It can swing around if that is the case. Now if you have a LSD, and an oversize aftermarket sway bar, it would be even worse.
  19. With out a doubt. Hands down. No contest. Golly this is a damp thread! I need to go clean up!
  20. Thats for sure!!! Ever seen a young'in that borrowed Daddy's F150 or Buick Lesaber try and impress the crowd with some smokey doughnuts. Only to go around in a perfect circle with the insde tire just a burning away? The outside tire just coasting along for the ride? That would be an open diff. Was that a good example?
  21. Agreed. I need more coffee! While sipping said coffee, I ran into a couple of interesting links. They are very nicely written. Enjoy... http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential2.htm OPEN DIFFS http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential3.htm DIFFS and TRACTION http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential4.htm LIMITED SLIP
  22. Rediculous you say? Not sure that rediculous is the right word but, check out the link and the statement below.... http://www.houseofthud.com/differentials.htm#wacky%20demo%201 So what's wrong with the open diff? The problem is an open diff always tries to balance the torque. That's a hard statement to get a grasp on, but it means that if the spider gears are pushing on both drive gears and one of them offers lots of resistance (tire sitting on pavement or a weight loaded tire on the outside of a turn) and the other side offers no resistance (up in the air, sitting on a patch of ice, or an un loaded tire such as on the inside of a turn), then it will find a happy balance where both sides are receiving almost no torque at all. All the rotational energy is guided to the side with the least resistance. In the end, that side spins very fast and the pressure on each drive gear is the same.. Almost no torque is needed to spin one wheel, and therefore almost no torque is going to the other side as well. Anyone who's driven on snow or ice knows this issue. You find yourself spinning one tire, and going nowhere....
