I see her everyday, when the Z's fixed in a week or so, I'll invite her out for ice cream. u know... gotta heal the bites.

six_shooter is right. the facility has been there longer than the houses have. My parents live just about 5km north, and they've been there for quite some time... no one was hurt, and yeah... glass breaks. LOL

im with chris on this one. it's moving parts that i would much less take short cuts on. i would buy a copy and either modify it or just run it as is if you really consider the factory manifold to be a hinderance. but valves or solenoids of any sort, unless taken apart and inspected like the TiAL WG copy that stony had?.... forget it

actually it's the fact that the wheels are too small to fit the wells. if the car was slammed to the ground and had about 1 extra inch of glass height,. it would look superb... almost like a modern day aston martin db car

WHY... WHY. this thread is a curse. I'm sitting...patiently waiting for my chicken wings to arrive at my table. I'm checkin out the window and I see a bee.. floatin around... I say to myself "maybe I should move tables". so as I'm getting up, someone else comes in the restaurant and sits down at the table I was going to move to, so I casually grabbed some napkins and pretended like I didn't get up for any other reason. So I sit down, and yay! my wings arrive. I take ONE BITE of these "HOT" wings, and I felt a pinch under my bicep. So I quickly dropped the wing, asked for the directions to the washroom... ran down there, and took my shirt off.. only to have the bee land on the ledge of my belt-buckle / jeans, and sting me AGAIN about an inch from my belly button. Now I'm glad I'm not allergic to bee stings, but it is kind of irritated. Oh well, I got a hug from the waitress whos cute, and she gave me my chicken wings for free. Ain't no thing but a chicken wing and a bee sting!

sorry gentlemen... but no where did i mention the use of a dremel. this tool is an air powered pencil-grinder, and i've taken metal off VERY easily on a cast iron block with a stone. I've also removed welds from a heat shield using a "dremel" brand pointed bit that had an aggressive tooth on it. I'm pretty damn sure it can every bit as effective as the long-shank large collet versions. I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT cause my RB26 head JUST LANDED :grin::grin: I still don't understand why people hold the air-grinder at the back and port like they're churning butter with that huge shank almost a foot away into the port. I know that it takes a long shank to reach some of the deeper areas but when it's at the entrance or exit of the port, wouldn't it be easier to have a short-shank bit somewhere layin around? (if u look at one of the pics in grumpyvettes links, the guy has about 5 makita electric grinders hanging to the left of his table, at least one could use a short shank).

Yeah it was pretty bad. The damage is in the 10's of millions and no one knows why there were two gentlemen in the complex at 3:30 in the morning. My friend said he just got home from the 24-hour supermarket, and as he swung his fridge door closed and sat down to eat something, it was as if the fridge just fell right to the floor behind him. It's one thing to hear it or feel it, but to see it! WOWZERS

Batch vs Sequential injection for turbo application

GUILTY! (thanks to Ron for bein' so nice ) -
Did anyone see the explosions in the North York/Toronto area? I came home from a wedding piss drunk and didn't feel, see, or hear anything... but friends told me it was like an earthquake for miles and miles away.

Batch vs Sequential injection for turbo application
Careless replied to MazterDizazter's topic in Fuel Delivery
well then you can forget about the equipment it takes to get sequential injection... LOL... and you REALLY need to use that money more wisely, so they point still stands. and... you in fact should get the how-to book on sequential injection or electronic engine management systems. there's a good start. its what i did -
im just curious. why do people use super long shanks on their grinders and hold it a mile away? wouldn't it be easier to use a second grinder for close work and a more accurate grinder with less run-out for long-reach stuff. I have a tiny grinder i bought, it is about the size of those aluminum-encased permanent markers with the chiseled tip, and I really don't see why people don't use them? I mean, I ground off some pretty hard welds in a matter of minutes. I'd imagine it can go straight through aluminum if not careful, and it would be a heck of a lot easier to work with if you ask me :-/ Why not? I bet I can even modify my 1/8th collect grinder to work with this kit rather than modify the bits and compromise the shank strength. And it would have enough power, and enough RPM to maintain a nice steady work-rate.

so do as jmort said, and do it on a spare head and fix the head up on the side with all the goodies you need. porting takes time and effort, of course you'll screw something up. its the laws of mechanics... if something can go wrong, it will. that's why you do practicing on spares. other than making mistakes and actually doing the work, how else would you learn?

How to get 14's with your econobox (posted on EFI Live Lounge)
Careless replied to DaleMX's topic in Non Tech Board
funny article but i couldn't justify doing that when there are tons of other jalopies around town that are horrible to have on the road. but i guess thats what makes it funny -

Careless replied to MazterDizazter's topic in Fuel Delivery
the point ktm is trying to make is that you could take your time in fine tuning SFI and put it towards working an extra hour or two at your day job for a week, and coming home with extra money for something that may ultimately be a better purchase for power, and give you better results than the minimal hp gains of SFI if that's what you're after. -
The Saga of my First Stroker -- and some restoration...
Careless replied to josh817's topic in Nissan L6 Forum
josh, I'd hate to see this thread go sour with z's on fire, so when you get the chance.... ... do yourself a favour and pick up an EZ2Wire kit from ebay, or an Autowire 22 kit or something. It's fairly simple to wire, and all of the leads are labelled. Think of it this way... if things are smoking when you plug them in, you're burning something... and something else may be burning too... and that could be melting switches and whatnot to the "ON" position and causing A LOT of potential fire hazards. Drive the car, make sure it works, and then plan ahead and get a wiring kit. when the kit comes, go to the dollar store and get some white paper/mailing labels and start writing the datsun wire color codes and/or connection location and tape them to the corresponding wires, and have them ready for when you install it when you're back from school or whatever. also grab the pin removal tool from a local auto supply store. i bought mine for 4 bucks, and it came with two types in the pack, each with 6 different pin removal tool ends. it's what you need to remove the pins from the sockets so you can wire them up and shove them back in and reuse the same connectors. also, i'd recommend a battery disconnect switch (so you don't have to keep undoing the battery cable). use it every time you leave the car, it takes 2 seconds. just lookin out man hate to see all this go to waste cause of something the Previous Owner did and blah blah blah -
so it can take down a human, but sickin' a dog after it is ok? make no bones about it, your dog would'a dropped like a sack of yams.

It's been a VERY sad week here - A message to my "Friends"
Careless replied to Warren's topic in Non Tech Board
oh dear poor little guy. RIP and god bless'm -
so at the age of 9, while in florence, italy... i was staying at my mother's sister's farm house for a week or two. my brother and I were waiting a couple of hours to go to see the leaning tower of pisa. during that time, we were attracted to this concrete wall that was hollow and had a hole/crack in the top. HORNETS were spewing out of this thing... we knew they lived in there. so my brother and I got the hose... set it to HOT, and waited until the water was white with steam, and then we shoved the hose end into the crack. hundreds of orange and bright yellow, double-assed hornets started to pour out of the top and quickly melt on the pavement below. "Francesco... Raffaele, lets go!" so we shut the water off, and quickly boarded the propane powered fiat punto, on our way to the leaning tower. construction limited us to other buildings, so we cut the trip short. upon our return, we happily fiddled with the stereo in the car while my parents and my uncle made their way back into the house... we decided fun time was over and we were hungry, so we shut the radio off and ventured back into the house. Greeted by this eerily familiar woman with a somewhat heart shaped face, red and purple in colour, and somewhat soggy due to what looked to be tears, my brother asks "Dad, who's this?" ... with the all-too-familiar look of devastation and strangle-itis in his face, he quietly and deeply said "your aunt". turns out a hornet or two stung her square on the nose or chin. too hard to tell since it was REALLY the shape of a heart, cheek to cheek. Sorry, Zia

I think that 944ZX look-alike is pretty friggen NICE. the front could use a 944 turbo bumper or something, but the rest is alright. now that fbody on the first post... the only thing that's missing is a bomb under the rear axle. -
