  1. bing! larger tires. and your friend has a 3.7 lsd in his Z too? because manual Zs had 3.36 gearing stock. You can opt for a Z transmission with taller 5th gear. Otherwise your only choices are either put the stock diff back in, or bigger overall diameter of your tire
  2. your stock ZX gearing: 3.545:1 your stock ZX tire size was 195/70/14, and your overall tire height was 628.6mm or 24.7" your new differential is 3.7:1, and you have smaller overall diameter tires, 205/40/17, with overall height of 595.8 or 23.5" this means that your differential makes a whole lot more revolutions than it used to, and your speedo is also off, so you're actually doing less than 65 mph. In short, this is normal based on the items you selected. No one ripped you off, you just made a miscalculation. You get better off the line acceleration, but your top speed is now lower.
  3. damn, man... no finesse... here, this is how you need to deal with people like that: http://hybridz.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=37319&highlight=
  4. i bought my rebuilt 15/16 nabco MC from kragen for $51, and could've gotten 7 back on core refund.
  5. IMO, it might be a little small because a t04b doesn't move as much air. The exhaust housing's decent sized. You would want to use 2 t04b turbos with .81 exhaust a/r, one per each bank of 4 cylinders if you want to make quite a bit of power. A t04E with 1.15 or larger exhaust a/r would work wonders in a single turbo setup in your case. The downpipe comment referred to 2 sharp 90* angles it makes. Air doesn't like angles, so if you can transition it into smoother bends and 45* angles, you'll get a whole lot more power. Turbos don't like back pressure, so teh faster you can move air out, the better it'll work.
  6. 70-72 240zs had 1 prop valve, 73-74 (not sure about 280) had 2 prop valves. I took both out, and I'm planning on running direct lines to the front brakes, and a prop valve to the rear brakes to control rear pressure. My setup is same as yours: 15/16 mc, 4 pot toyota front, 240sx rear
  7. Police Blotter: November 4, 2004 Thursday November 4, 2004 I Fought the Law, and the Law Maced Me Monday, Nov. 11, 5:54 a.m. - Two deputies responded to reports of intoxicated subjects fighting at an apartment on the 6500 block of Cervantes Dr. The officers arrived at the residence and observed two men grappling on the floor through the window of the apartment. As officers watched, the first subject, a 22-year-old man, placed his sparring partner in an "ankle lock," causing the man to scream and "tap out." After the bout ended, the first man, whose friend outweighed him by 60 to 80 pounds, said he could "**** him up" because of his superior fighting skills. The two quickly resumed fighting, and officers watched the first man continue to employ what they described as several other techniques used by fighters trained in jujitsu, judo and various other martial arts disciplines to get the better of his opponent. Seeing that the man on the losing end of the fight had already suffered a black eye and was bleeding from the nose and mouth, one of the deputies slid open the unlocked window and instructed the men to stop fighting. The first man asked the officer who he was and if he wanted to fight, to which the deputy replied, "We are deputies with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Dept." Unfazed, the man informed the deputy, "I'll **** you up." He then turned to his battered friend and told him, "You're a better fighter, but I'm going to **** him up. Just let me pull my pants up." The deputy instructed both of them to settle down and get some sleep, but the man would have none of it. "Do you want to fight?" he repeated. "Yeah, just let me put my belt on." While the man was attempting to ready his pants for battle, the officer again ordered him to settle down. "No, I'm coming out there to fight. I'm going to **** you up," he replied. Having observed the man's proficient fighting skills, the officers readied their canisters of Oleoresin Capsicum - better known as pepper spray. Trousers finally secure around his waist, the would-be street fighter opened the front door, looked at the deputies, assumed a fighting stance with closed fists, and received a two-second blast of pepper spray to the face. Unable to stand up to the spray's superior kung fu, the man staggered back into the house, where he was promptly taken into custody. His friend refused treatment for his injuries and insisted that they were just playing around. The man was taken to the Isla Vista Foot Patrol office for booking, where he was allowed to wash out his eyes, but his antics did not stop there. He asked the arresting deputy why he had been sprayed, saying, "I'm 120 pounds. What am I going to do?" The officer informed him that the man had threatened to injure them, and had confronted them in a fighting stance. "I'm 120 pounds," the man repeated. "What would you do if someone bigger than you wanted to fight?" While the logical answer would be to run away, the deputy told the man that they never challenged him to a fight, and had seen him using formal ground fighting techniques. The man then refused to provide information about his identity, so he was placed in a locked interrogation room as the officer used the man's driver license to complete the booking paperwork. As he was filling out the paperwork, another officer came outside and asked the deputy if he was aware that his arrestee was climbing into the office's rafters. According to police reports, the deputy rushed back to the detention room and discovered that the man had slipped his handcuffs to the front of his body. He had stacked the room's plastic chairs and trashcan on top of one another to form a makeshift ladder, which he used to climb up into the acoustic ceiling tiles. Unimpressed, the deputy pushed aside the chairs and trash can and assisted the man down from the ceiling. The man was re-handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car and transported to Santa Barbara County Jail, where he was booked for resisting arrest, escape from custody, and vandalism less than $400 for putting a hole in the ceiling of the IVFP station.
  8. airresearch is owned by garrett, it's a t04 B turbo with .60 intake a/r and what looks like 1.15 exhaust a/r. Look here for possible matching compressor maps: http://64.225.76.178/catalog/compmaps/fig6.html
  9. uhm, adult warning, definitely not safe for work OR for those with kids around. Unless the kids are little, in which case they'll scream "LUNCH BUFFET"
  10. actually, i found that mcmaster.com has everything one would need. seriously, anything and everything that place has
  11. it's a very vague open ended question, kind of like 'what kind of power will i put down with a v8?' a v8 what? lexus? chevy? ford? dodge? jaguar? bmw?
  12. that would work, but remember that you want it somewhere near the collector, because you won't be alleviating much pressure if it's right next to one of the exhaust ports. finding a big turbo for a v8 with an internal wg isn't easy - they're somewhat limited in selection
  13. rule of thumb is put it as close as possible to the turbo exhaust housing. you could do what this guy did: and make it off the turbine housing itself takes skill tho
  14. I was listening to the radio this morning, and the hosts of the show were talking about the new DMV controller in california wants to implement, or, supports the implementation plans of gps tracking devices on vehicles so commuters can be taxed per miles travelled instead of gas tax at the pump. gotta love this state becoming a shithole - now what would be the point of getting a hybrid car if fuel economy won't matter that much any more?
  15. geez.... wonder if i remember this right...eons ago, my friend in autoexec.bat, put in.. SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 this will assign sb card to i/o address 220, irq 5, dma 1 you MAY need dos drivers for the card. in the game setup, set up the same thing.
  16. Spacequest 4, where you kept timetravel between different space quests.
  17. on a scale... no hp/no tq [========================X]hp/tq
  18. If your name was Erin instead of Aaron, I'd be like 'Hell yeah!" instead, I'm reading a post by a dude named aaron telling me I got him in the mood. see signature
  19. So, high mileage, eh? loose fitting parts? why, did you buy some bolt ons for the existing model? body kit?
  20. yeah. your significant other is broken. turn her in for warranty service, or trade in on a newer more compliant model
  21. had to take that screen shot because it made me laugh out loud
  22. I've seen that. IMO, it's a waste. for the money he spend making the ferrari kit, he could've bought a real ferrari. Taking one "exotic" and turning it into another exotic is kind of retarded: think of taking an aston martin and convering it into a TVR or something.
  23. In my neon. cf of drag is .29 or .30, and yes, a rear surfboard spoiler on a fwd car does work at that speed. Mopar performance ecu, no speed governor. 5600rpm in 5th shown, speedo only goes to 120. I've had it at 6100rpm in 5th, calculated out to ~135mph. final ratio: 3.94:1, 5th is .81. On my YZF600R, 155mph indicated. Bike kept pulling, but I decided I didn't want to get somewhere my brain couldn't arrive at before the bike did. In my Z with stock L24, poorly tuned running rich webers, 5 speed and 3.7 gearing, 115 indicated. I've attempted 110 in a stock Z without the airdam, and I didn't like the loose front end with slight feeling of lift.
