  1. I'm __really__ guessing here, but perhaps the L20ET? 4 cyclider, turbo, and Datsun. Yes, the L20ET was never used on the Z but maybe the the Z emblom was used on it for some reason. Aftermaket perhaps? But then again, no 4 cyclinder engine was ever on a Z, so no aftermarket manifold would make sense for that.
  2. http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows/2007_new_york/0703_2008_nissan_nismo_350z/ Looks great, front and rear fascias, spoiler, all look serious! Take that S2000 CR
  3. What prep does the block need for 28psi? Metal headgasket?
  4. Nice. I have a M44 and Yugo M47 as well, at least those look like them alot.
  5. So how much can a stock block take lbs/boost wise?
  6. 2180lbs?? WOW Don't know much about the "good" Corollas, what years were good / RWD?

    Man, water injectors for the tires?!?!? Smart, should keep the tires from being burned off instantly, but sorta cheating . . .
  8. Is that Mopar 2.5L block something sepcial or is it just a pull?

    Very nice! Does the Brabus package increase the boost from the supercharger? Planning on getting some more power out of that?
  10. I hear that the Ralliart Lancer is going to be AWD / turbo, with a less fancy AWD system. Wonder how close they'll keep to that ^^ prototype . . .
  11. Nice! I like the 570Z tags Do the 350 manifolds work with LT1's? I do know that the heads degrees changed in 87 or 88 iirc, did that affect the manifolds?
  12. Nifty. Any idea of the price of that set up? I imagine the Supra transmission was a bit spendy.
  13. I have heard of people swaping northstars into Fieros, one of those such forums might give you a hand on the how to's.
  14. I've heard that Subaru is / was trying to move upmarket, to turn themselves into a nearline luxury brand. This might be one of their moves. Doesn't make the most sense, how many rally cars are based on nearly luxury cars?
  15. I kinda like the looks, not so in-your-face as the previos models. But it is an AWD turbo bred rally machine . . . . wonder what the STI model will look like.
  16. Wouldn't the rebuild cost be an issue as well with the VG and SR? You would need to lower the compression for high boost, and a single turbo vs two would further make the rebuild cheaper for the SR than VG. Right?
  17. When I was in Longview TX in 2004 we had some snow, maybe 1/2". Funny to see people react that had never seen snow before. Those of us used to snow being measured in ' and not " were amused. Has it been fairly cold lately or is this a freak cold crack?
  18. Looks great! Reminds me of a Z4 coupe, but isn't ugly.
  19. 90 whole pounds lighter!!! What a joke! And the front end on the body kit is rice-tastic! The suspension job and NSX tires sounds great, but why didn't they dig more power out of the engine? Just about evey tuning house in Japan is able to.
  20. WOW I'm just curious how the portioned head will do under boost. Can't imagine there would be to much lateral force applied to the heads though. Then again I know less than diddly doo
  21. I took a road trip this last Christmas and got to find out that the highway running from Vegas to I40 goes accross Hoover. I could have walked faster than the traffic Didn't have time to take a tour though, then again I've got a larger, but less graceful dam in my back yard, Shasta.
  22. Surprising as he got into only 1 F1 race iirc, and is on in the years. Would have imagined that they could have found a better driver. Yes, Tiff is good, but Le Man is another level of good.
  23. Serious? XKR entry?
  24. I'm not to terribly familiar with carbs, but he talks of how the fuel bowls don't need to be drained to changed the jets, and how easy it is to change the jets with no gasket damage possible. Is that very big of a deal?
  25. Think their schedule was really shortened due to the wreck of Hammonds. Great show, though the drive offs on Fifth Gear are great, when they happen. A driver who qualified for a grand prix and a touring class something champ have what it takes to find out the better car . . .
