A bit off topic perhaps... I spoke to my local car audio chap about this and he was reasonably confident that a 35lb (pull) solenoid would do the job. They are approximately 2" in diameter and 3+" long.
Need more? He can also get a 65lb *MONSTER* at about 4" in diameter and 7+" long... probably fold the hatch in half

Its not your dropping resistors... there are six in the pack. Not all of them are going to fail at once.

has anyone totally removed the spare tire area, and made it flat bottom with the car?
Sure have. Many people have removed the well for one reason or another (fuel cells probably most common). I did it for exhaust.

Hmmm, wonder how hard it would be to make a new diff mount to mount it facing backwards. If you did that you could mount a motor where the tank used to be. Then you're left with the entire bay and tunnel for batteries.
Interesting thought.... but the ring & pinion will be running backwards. Not sure if diff integrity is the same in reverse. The off-road crowd would probably be able to answer that one.

Interesting location for the KS... I like it

Any other brewers out there?
Use to be (extracts). Haven't brewed for close to ten years. I've forgotten most of what I didn't know, so I'm not one to offer anything useful
I still have most of the paraphernalia. I keep toying with the idea of starting up again... but life keeps getting in the way.

Still a few things on the To-Do, but we get a little closer every year...

thanks, ill do that.
Please take the advice given seriously. We appreciate your desire to help, but if its not coherent, its useless... or worse.
Thanks.

Somebody left caps lock on while typing their screen name...
Any other observation's?

One super-sized dose of luck on the way!

Not too bright, are you?
FYI, The dudes in red are admins... might want to re-think your strategy. Savvy?

The NSU TTS is one id like to find
WAY cool

i don't think the rear suspension would hold up very well to drifting on an S30.
Why not? -
You'll be putting a hell of a lot of stress on the entire rear end, halfshafts, diff, suspension, and even the wheel studs. Then also to keep your car sideways, you'll have to hold the engine at a higher RPM for a prolonged period of time with a big risk of revving it up too high when you're first learning to drift your car.
Granted, AutoXing and Drag racing also put a lot of stress on a motor, but most of that stress is going to be front to back, and some side to side shear, but cars werent exactly designed to be sliding sideways. When you put your car sideways it's going to create different shearing stress than the car is used to, or was designed to handle.
You can build your car to perform better as a drift car by upgrading to stronger parts, but understand, Drifters break stuff frequently.
Then again, so do drag racers and autocrossers.
I have no problems with drifting, I just have a problem with it can cost.
If you want to drift, more power to you, but I hope you've got a good source of income.
Are you suggesting drifting imposes more lateral stress than autocrossing? Surely not.

Well done Gents!
Sounds like a new record!

Looks nice, also what year is that manifold off of?
I built that manifold roughly 13 years ago, so I'm afraid I don't recall the specific year. However, its just an NA 280zx manifold with a few hours of massage work. I realize you are asking about turbo manifolds, but the EGR mod. will be essentially the same regardless of aspiration.

Hi Derek,
A little late to help I suspect, but... I removed/welded the EGR pad a number of years ago...

ANNNND, I see you got the Jobs Tuning EMS installed via blue-tooth. Now all you need is a router, an in car mailing address for billing, and an iTunes store account and you'll be downloading fuel and ignition maps by the dollar in no time!

i went by the 3 rules of an engine running deal...Air, Fuel, Spark.
had fuel and spark, so yeah, that left air
Your understating of the AFM couldn't be farther from the truth. Might want to take those books a little more seriously.
I'm not going to ask again... start using your shift key or I'll remove your posting privileges.

and the engine management system will be run from iTunes, with individual spark and fuel maps for 0.99 cents from the iTunes store. again, apple setting a standard in everything... this time it's dyno tuning!
EDIT: Ron, they might be looking for distributors!
EDIT 2: Steve Jobs just signed up as a driver for Formula None.

No horn button... yeah, that's it
Why not?

Why?
What kind of MPG are you looking for? An S30 with LJet can pretty easily get 28mpg (hwy), 30+ if you work at it.
The hurdles you must overcome to make your idea work would take more effort, and likely money, than an aftermarket EMS. And, I'm betting, less fruitful. In my opinion you're going about it the hard way.
