  1. Dunny lolly!!! BWAHAHAHA!
  2. Well I made these up in SolidWorks today... Just a quickie for the overall design so they aren't done yet. They are 17X11 with 5" of backspacing. The lugs are 5 on 4.5 to fit most 5 lug Nissans... Lets see your designs! Be they on a greasy nasty napkin with brown lipstick on them or completed CAD designs! OTM
  3. Where is it coming from on the engine? Maybe just pull the valve cover and see if anything is loose...
  4. How about this huge by large RC bomber?
  5. looks like a good product. Reasonable price too. The price of struts strong enough to hold up a Z hood is usually quite high.
  6. Doesn't diff. eq. come after Calc 3? It was that way at my other school... Not a freshman course IIRC.
  7. I'll give you the DIY way. http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/enginedesign/
  8. Remember that Big-Phil comletely blew up his old engine with one detonation instance at 20PSI. In engineering we have what is caled a "safety factor". It is the amount of stress that a part was designed to safely undergo without failure divided by the amount of stress that causes failure. When you up the boost you are reducing your safety factor closer and closer to the number one.(bad) With less of safety factor available even the least amount of detonation can can sen you under the number one and give you a basket case of a motor. "Safely" I would use no more than 14-16 PSI on a stock, unopened, 75k-150k mile motor with a stock-ish turbo WITH an intercooler...depending on your mods. Big-Phil's nice "stock" motor is FRESH with new rings and bearings, etc... so he can have a little more freedom with "fun" things like more boost etc... Just my 2 cents...
  9. Yeah it is like you broke a ring and not your wrist pins. Detonation?
  10. I'd do a 3.1 and slap the turbo-tom kit on it. There are turbo-tom powered strokers that are making nearly 500hp. Maybe just upgrade the turbo to something newer and more efficient.
  11. I have heard that 86mm is the LIMIT for a P30 block. I have a N42 block that has a fresh 87mm bore(never used) on it if you are interested... shipping would be a pain though.
  12. ME has more theoretical and thus is a bit harder... Also you are more valuable with a ME degree. I'm going ME. (that just sounds funny)
  13. Japp chocolate energy bar (pushing expensive Porsches off of cliffs:-)) THX Lemur(Not really a commercial but funny) Xbox classic banned commercial Post up your favorite commercials!!!!
  14. BWAHAHAHA!!! That was great! How long do you think the stock motor will last at 25 PSI? Seems to be doing pretty good!
  15. I lived at school and only had a Mongoose XR-200 mountain bike to get around town. Worked good until the chain came off in top gear while standing on the pedal and literally broke my face . I was about 2 miles from campus with another 3 miles to wally world (wal-mart). I had made the trip every week with 24 mountain dew cans in my backpack on the way back from the store as well as any other little goodies. Hope to get another bike this year...
  16. Is it Jay Leno's Honda? http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/video_player.shtml?vid=204774 OTM
  17. They expected to get a real Ferrari for $30k? Isn't that the regular price for a converted fiero? LOL
  18. Unless you ride the short bus... Then it will take 24 hours.
  19. Sweet! Hopefully it will be somewhere that us mere mortals can get track time... as opposed to Road Atlanta which is like 45 minutes from me.
