  1. just make sure you take that trim off carefully. I've baked potatoes in bbq grade heavy duty tinfoil that could be doubled up to be a heavier guage than those things. LOL
  2. yeah i dont see those FWD corolla's as more than grocery getters. sure there are some fast ones, but you know... what's the point? there are other FWD cars that i would choose before putting an SR20 into a corolla to piss someone off. if you're gonna do it, grab an alltrac and put it into the corolla. or atleast the RNN14 SR20, and put the entire AWD system in there. if only for SR20 in a FWD corolla, i wouldn't do it. and It's not exactly a good looking car compared to the AE's. but that's just my opinion.
  3. have you found someone to make cams for you?
  4. but how does one estimate or find out what the needed level of cooling should be when the engine has never been run yet? how shall one plan for this on a specific engine such as an N/A RB.
  5. so exactly what does one look for when choosing a radiator. I think i've come across a lot of rads that I thought would fit in the Z nicely, but that's one thing that I've never paid much attention to (because I'm not at that point yet, or never had the need for a performance radiator application)
  6. and it's had no cooling issues on your RB?
  7. So does my friend. and i always ask him why they're the colour of poo. cause they lost my harddrive!
  8. what was the price of that rad looking rad =)
  9. i'd be concerned moreso about RPM rather than horsepower, seeing as most forces or vibrations are exponential in their increase across the rev-range in reference to friction as the RPM increases.
  10. make a compression coupler, with an air-hose fitting, and inject air into the coupler with an air compressor at a steadily increased pressure. once you hear the air leak, you will know where it's coming from. it's essentially a tube with an air fitting. just put it before or after your intercooler, and make sure you keep the PSI coming from your compressor LOW to start.
  11. I would be interested if I saw other units or had testemonials of previous installs based on quality and manufacturing process
  12. I once sold all my cars in gran turismo 2, and bought a dodge viper that suddenly had 0 horsepower. It was so not-fun, that i stopped playing. let this be a lesson to everyone who wants to weld their throttle valves shut!
  13. what about the coates spherical rotary valve cam shafts/head =)
  14. it could depend on how far the injectors are spaced along each individual runner better idle/better atomization is the tradeoff of positioning injectors. having them switch or phase in and out at different RPM's can achieve a mixture of both benefits.
  15. flux core is ok if you are grinding the welds later. a chassis builder advised me to just run a cold bead, you don't even need 100% penetration either.
  16. so on RB30 blocks, are we using the RB30 dipstick and tube or the RB26 one, or RB25 one if thats' what we're using? does it even matter
  17. cool. so i guess for someone that wants to retain the datalogging capability on a stock electronic day to day car or wants to know whats up with their current stock setup, Nissan's got a good aftermarket software following. I can flash roms with my old Pentium 200mx motherboard
  18. lol. why not search hybridz? ahhh that ♥♥♥♥'s taboo!
  19. ive been to a house with a garage that had that on one side of the garage. Two car garage that had the entire floor done in the diamond plate pattern one. even with oil spills, stuff gets through and lingers in there forever. the garage is now half-and-half. bare concrete repainted all over, and then half in the diamond type interlocks again. reason being is that the show car is on the interlocks, and the work area is on the concrete, because removing those interlocks to clean a work area when something spills is a bitch because of their interlocking nature. I say if your garage is in somewhat of a shamble, or neither clean nor dirty in great variance, i'd just try and use a concrete filler, get it as smooth as possible, and then use a hand floor-sander (it looks like a swiffer sweeper but its heavy duty and has sandpaper attachments at the bottom). smoothen it out during application as much as possible. sand it with the tool, and then use concrete etching primer (also amazing for removing and preventing rust, as it containts 50+ % of phosphoric acid, which is the highest concentration i could find). once the concrete is a nice dull, but bright grey, i would paint it with Rust Bullet. Rust bullet is being used by the US Navy to coat the surfaces on which their fighter jets screech to a grinding halt at 200mph landing speed upon their aircraft carriers, just as a reminder. should cost you roughly 120 bucks to do the entire job.
  20. question, how would one figure out the tow rating of a custom built trailer such as this new "z trailer". nice work btw. and yah, i Dont think that first concept for the bike trailer is safe. it might work, but i dont think the mounting bar is thick enough, and i figure with 3 bikes on there, it could get a little wobbley if it's not boxed in with the same thickness all the way around.
  21. got an old 225 amp that is from a company that is now owned by lincoln for 350 canadian. =) thing is a beaut! cleaned the inside after being in a small shop for quite some time, and now it's brand new! uses tweco gun parts, and lincoln stocks the replacement parts now =D
  22. yeah i think Apexi released a unit that took advantage of the nissan consult diagnostics. It was a black box with an orange LCD screen and had all the same features, except it was more compact, dash mountable display. I figured it wouldnt work with a standalone, because it's supposed to interface with the stock nissan units, but what im asking is whether or not a standalone can't display any information that this thing can. i figured this unit is made for people running the stock ECU and electronics, of course, or atleast the ECU and other mismatched parts to see how they stack up without going standalone.
  23. just wondering if this is neccessary when you've got a standalone. what does the datascan or conzult offer in terms of monitoring that these higher-quality standalones dont?
