I don't know about the gearing in T-5s, sorry. The only thing I can offer is try to find the casting numbers on the tranny and look on google to find the gear ratio, then figure out your RPMs from there (using tire size etc.)

Hahaha, awesome! Was that Chris's kid? "Now that one really stinks!"

When you mention dimentions for mounts, are you refering to the JTR mounts? If so I'd caution you to make sure you are looking at the 280ZX mounts and not S30 mounts as they are very different.

Nice, can't wait to see it mocked up!

One of the auto shop teachers at my school has a 510 that he's done a bunch of work on. He cut the vent line ~3 inches from the tank and bent it up as far as it would go, then put a little filter on it so it can breath but gas doesn't spill out.

Amazing! Anyone know why it launches funny?

Holy turbos, Batman! That thing is a monster!

Hahaha! The "I shouldn't be alive" one where the guy is in the car is great, too.

Anyone want a donor car?

I'm pretty sure the UK has a large college funding program. Looks cool, BTW.

I got that picture from a Lincoln Nebraska site. But being a Nebraska native I still blame the car on California.
Good...

I've always had fantasies about a BMW E series with a 351W in it. Or a RX8 with a LS7. Last would be a turbo'd Sportster Evo.

Nice! It looks like it got a little toasty arround the turbos, though!

If you don't mind front wheel drive or Fords you may want to check into Escorts, which may be easier to find in the mid west. I have a 92 with the indestructable 1.9 with 150 thousand miles, I paid $500 and maybe another $100 on a timing belt and other misc. parts. I get anywhere from 32-38 mpgs, handles pretty good too.
Oh, man... I have many good memories from my friend's Escort
He beat the crap out of that thing and it just kept going! -
Vihn, I'm glad you spoke up in the thread. I was trying to remember the chap who had the yellow ZX with a great shaved back end--it was your car!
Nice work on that car

Nice! That'd look good with some ZG:wink:

This guy thought it was a good idea, too!

What about zinc plating? It gives a nice factory look.

OK, Normally I wouldn't point out something so far fetched...
But I gotta... Gunrack in the BACK WINDOW of a ZCAR?

Hmmm... good idea!
I almost got shot at once by a group of mexicans once. Me and three friends were in a 72 beetle(total weight about 800 lbs!) just cruising arround and goofing off. We were on the main street in town when this 80s Buick or Olds starts riding our ass. The guy driving taps his breaks a couple times (taps, not slams) and they turn on there high beams. We just happened to have a 20 million candle power spot light with us so I flash them back. The car slows down so I know I got the guy driving in the eyes. I turn forward and we keep driving when all of a sudden the car comes whiping past us and one of the people throw something at our car. They cut us off and slam on the breaks and STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC (six lanes!) and one guy jumps out. We go arround them and go as fast as the little beetle would go. A block later we stop at a red light and guess who's behind us? I turn arround and see the same guy who jumped out earlier walking up the side of the car with his hand near his waistband/ pocket. I scream to the guy driving to "Run the ****** light! GO GO GO!" So he revs the poor bug up and takes off. We floor it for three or four more blocks and turn off into residential streets... not just grid pattern, cul de sacs and curving roads and such. We drop back down to 25 and are trying to find a way out when my buddy sees the car whiping arround the corner behind us. We just try and play it cool and keep driving but the car behind us cuts us off and pulls accross the road so we can't pass and five or six mexicans jump out and start running at our car. The guy driving slams it into reverse and floors it backwards for two blocks, all the while the mexicans are still running at us except one who triped because his pants fell down. Once we are at the next street my buddy who is driving slams it in first and takes off. We pull into the parking lot at a hospital that was about five blocks away and turn the car off and everyone ducks down. Ten minutes later we hadn't seen them so we took off home very carefully and stayed in all night. I didn't see that spotlight for a few months.

Nice car Paul.
Ceremonial burnout pics?
Seconded... let's see some foggies!
-
Why did he have the vid so loud? Is he trying to let everyone know he's a dirty old man who beats off too much?
-
There was this wide body Z32 I saw pix of once, I'll see if I can find them again.
Also the 4th car down in SoCal's first post (Mark Rolston's car?) is absolutely beautiful.
Edit: the Z32 was like this one, but a hard top. http://www.zonc.org/zoom_06_02.html

Nice. He's got some good videos on his site, too.
He beat the crap out of that thing and it just kept going!
Did not think a bird could do this

Note the lovely pink mist all over the interior, that's going to be a pain to clean!
