  1. btw, 280zforce has something like this on his car, except his are german made one-offs or something. ver-naaaaaaaaaayce. I think I might go with the newer Q45 projector housings, with a D2S HID System and the 7 projector lights? they are smaller, but a ring adapter could be made, and then turn signal lights can be fitted there as well, using any turn signal you can fit nicely since you'll have about 1.25 inches of space on either side. Other popular choices for these types of mods are X5/M5 projectors too
  2. I think Madonna was associated with the word "hummer" quite often too.
  3. So if a SOHC is pronounced like a "sock" by most. And the DOHC is pronounced like a "dock" by most. What would QOHC be? .. its a good thing the W8 engines from VW don't have 4 heads!!! I think the VW Crowd has been trounced enough already for their shenanigans. I mean, come on. purposely rusted hoods? jap-bozo type wheel offsetting? unsafe tire stretching? and soon... QOHC-head engines? crazy Europeans!
  4. can't stand those side vents that you molded on there. look too out of place. but you did an excellent job on the front scoop.
  5. i think 1600 for ONE wheel is a little rediculouse. being 16x10, it still doesn't change the fact that they're panasports. you can get a full set of new panasports for like 2000
  6. wouldn't cost you more than shipping and the cost of me getting covered in grease but if you can find them before i get them, you might wanna take'm... my engine is coming with a car that's being painted for a friend, so it may take a while as he's not happy with the paint job thus far.
  7. I dunno, i just thought that's what the purpose of this was. LOL
  8. hey Nav i should be getting an RB26 that suffered from oil failure in the mains. the head and the rest of the stuff should be fine. ETA is 1.5 months from now, as it hasnt been loaded on the container yet. I'm willing to let the pistons go once I tear off the head.
  9. you mean to tell me that an adjustable cam gear has never been made for the L engines? really?
  10. that's been established. however, I do not have trans bolts to compare to. That's why im wondering if anyone has the length/thread pitch
  11. dangit! those "Zone Sport" 5 lug 17's look like a knockoff of the 18 inch Equips which are not made in 17, and are only 550 bucks =( shittttttty for me.
  12. perhaps you mean the formula atlantic 4AGE's.
  13. I'm sure Tony D will appreciate you trying to imitate him, or attempt to be like him, irregardless of what context you may have said it in.
  14. what did you use to calculate it, and to which wave? don't you need to calculate the port length to include that into the runner lenght? it's usually a formula involving inlet of runner to exit at valve head.
  15. i shudder whenever i see that spoiler. my car had a makeshift one like that, made of chicken wire and horrible seam welding along the entire hatch. =( good thing i picked up a hatch for 40 bucks with glass and louvers!
  16. And I'd bet there's about 749 other inmates that would kill to have that title.
  17. ahahaha this is weird. I was toying with the idea of posting the pics you sent me in an email, Rob, but instead I had hopes that you'd join.
  18. you make a good point. but i think you also hit the nail on the head when you mentioned both 350's, while missing what the phrase really means, altogether. the whole message in the "n r f d" quote is in regards to the SAME engine. Not completely different engines. Sure the porsche engine is almost half as small and makes 1 more horsepower. But what happens when you take the dynamics of the 215ci engine, and make everything bigger? you're allowed to stuff more air, and more fuel, and you then create more energy due to a larger combustible area. the saying doesnt apply to cross-platform or totally different engine designs due to the fact that certain engines have different heads that would allow better combustion chamber design, therefore increasing possible compression ratios. i.e. - a replacement for displacement. this is apples to oranges. now, apples to apples, you'd have the same engine, only stroked, or bored out, and with the same compression, everything updated to provide for the new parameters, and you'd make more power if your calculations are correct. a honda head flows much more than a nissan head. just look at the b16 or b18 head, and compare to an RB25 head, by not counting 2 cylinders. So if you make it bigger, it doesn't mean you're creating as much energy. you can read about the immense flow ratings of a stock honda head on endyn's website. i'd like to replace the "n r f d" quote with "the more you can ram, the more it can WHAM!" but that sounds a little...
  19. if you're very interested, and not dreamin'... gimme a holler, i know someone in australia right now that may be able to source one for you. I can put you in contact with him directly so that you get everything that you need.
  20. you know we do have warm weather, as well as winter beaters. lol.
  21. pistons SOLD to the man with the rusty beaten s30 with a motor awaiting a build ....
  22. thats the pic i remember from way back when after i commented about being worried about those 4 bolts holding that iron brick of an engine we call RB. so anyone know the bolt / thread size? i dont have any transmission bolts to compare to.
