I love reading your stories That one was good, had me in suspense for a few. !M!

Looks like he threw some conduit in there and slammed the hood . Aircleaner flex? I thought this was going to be a ricer thing... kinda like, my headlights were to bright, so I had to brace them to the frame to keep them from... doing... stuff... I don't know. !M!

I can't wait for the Triumph story 8) . !M!

I can't get it to save either. I tried last night and I tried now. What the heck? !M!

Okay, where is the real engine? Doesn't make sense to go through all that trouble for... that thing. Multi show winner, been in a few magazines? !M!

Oh yeah... that stings! This one time I was taking a trip up north about 4 hours from here. About 2.5 hours into the ride, the sky turned black and there was now a really strong crosswind. It started pouring, I mean buckets! With no bridge in sight, I just kept on riding. I found myself behind a gas tanker truck (18 wheeler) and could not pass him, because the conditions were so bad I couldn't see in front of him. So here I am not wanting to stop, stuck behind a big rig, getting buffeted all over the place, soaked to the bone... man, good time though. It rained the rest of the ride up there . When I got up north, I took off my clothes and my white shirt was not white anymore, nor was it ever going to be white again, because of my leather jacket. This was a very bad storm I went through, I mean really BAD! I seriously should have stopped and let some of the nasty stuff go over. Nobody expected me to be there at the time I had got there, they thought nobody in thier right mind would ride through that. My Grandma told me there was a tornado that touched down just a few miles of where I was riding at the time... scared the crap out of me when I heard that. I smile everytime I think about that ride, it was an adventure to say the least. !M!

Drax, Thanks for straightening(sp?) me out. !M!

Has anyone thought about the ears that these brackets mount to? Some of these brackets will be mounted to metal that has been through more than 30 years of braking abuse... If you think about it, the 3/8" ears would probably be the first to break from fatigue. !M!

Oh I know, I just saw this "I don't believe the Z's ever had r200's", so I figured you might want to check it out too. !M!

Guy, you're correct. R200=200mm R180=180mm That's why having a R230 is like having a 9" back there Datsun_Dude and Evil, read this post for answers to what rearend came in what. But remember, that's the way the Z's came stock. http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20595&highlight= Here's a picture to determine if it's a R200 or R180 To know what ratio you have for sure, you need to remove the rear cover. Then you will see some numbers stamped on the ring gear. You want to divide the larger number by the smaller number and you will get the ratio, like this, 37:10 would be a 3.70 and 39:11 would be a 3.54. !M!

Just imagine a engine fire or a bad backfire through the carb . !M!

Good ET still, even after a wheelie and having to pedal it a little (or so it sounds). Tough car! I bet he still pulled an awsome 60' considering he tripped the lights with his rear tires. !M!

I thought the brackets were going to be at the least 3/8". It just makes sense. The point that Bob brought up is what I had visioned in my head (how things work, that is). It's not just shear forces on the caliper bracket, since it will be offset. Juan, I hope you didn't machine these already. !M!

Welcome! Nice clean install . I love the color! !M!

WOW! That is just crazy ! $18k and 4 days left. Those two Z's are brand new. They probably still smell new inside. What are the chances of seeing just one like that, but two? Wow. !M!

Oh crap, my post makes it sound like that's my car in that video, it's not. It's a run made by somebody else at the same track that I went to with my Z. My point was that the tires on my Z sucked. This guy was really able to hook up on the right tires. Pretty cool run though, hey? !M!

The last time I went to Great Lakes Dragaway, my tires couldn't stick to the track, it was like they were on slime or something. Now I know for a fact it was my tires. Check out this run at the same place http://www.gzperformance.com/videos/misc/capricewheelie.mpg !M!

Haha, that's good. You should try living around here. Some Packer fans can get a little wierd. We have a handfull of crappy cars painted in the green/gold scheme running around here and one family went and painted thier HOUSE green/gold... man it's ugly! It's in a neighboring city, so I see it every now and then, it really stands out. !M!

Weight: 595 HP: 90 Estimated 1/4 mile ET: 10.74 Estimated 1/4 mile MPH: 126.92 Estimated 1/8 mile ET: 6.84 Estimated 1/8 mile MPH: 102.52 Now add a turbo to that engine !M!

Double post http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=23080 !M!

My old stock Honda Sabre V-65 1100 that I crashed dyno'd at 125hp and 127ft. lbs., but the bike was exactly 600lbs. with me and a full tank . LOTS of torque, but just as quick as my buddies Yamaha YZF600R. After 40mph., we were always dead even. Bikes are so much fun! !M!

Whoa...information overload INFORMATION OVERLOAD! Grumpy, the links you post are always fun to read. Thank you! I was wondering if you will ever run out of links, but less than 1% of your database ? That's good to know 8) . Thanks again! !M!

Every time I see one of his posts since he revealed what he does for his day job, I don't know why but I kinda giggle knowing that he gets to umm, work over boobies What a life you have Silicone Boy, by day a woman enhancer, by night a Datsun enthusiast !M!

I hope you meant to misspell that As for the knock off's, did you get the adaptors with them? The hammer is for tapping the, well, the thingy that has the two or three spokes on it to tighten the wheel to the hub. Here's an example of what you should have: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33745&item=2420983601 The wheels, hub adaptors, and spinners or whatever they are called. Installed correctly they won't fall off. !M!

When UPS dropped off my wheels, there was gouges in the rim of the wheel. I was not home when they dropped them off. When I got home later that day, I called the company that I got the wheels from and told them what happened. He contacted UPS and they sent out a truck to pick my wheels up the next day. They then had some UPS insurance guy check out the damage and he determined that the damage was done during shipping. UPS bought me new wheels and I had them within a week. Give Charlie Osbourne a call and tell him what happened. I'm thinking you might have to go through the same scenerio. !M!
