I will like to add my 2 cents since i go to school wit evilc...
we came to college not to start at the ground up but to have a postion in the ladder that will lead us to do what we want...with that being said i propose this idea to u. apply for the MBA program and apply for an intership/CooP in an automotive job...(honda,nissan ect.) I've been tryin for 2 years to get into honda or nissans CooP program and will keep applying untill they get annoyed by me...afta workin this summer for the engineering plant in ithaca i learned one thing - I COULD HAVE DONE ENGINEERING W/O AN COLLEGE EDUCATION! and u know it too...We pretty spend 4 years busting our buts for a paper...with the experince u get from the interships would be more towards what u want to do in life..."yes wyotech will teach you how to build an engine..but will it teach you how to make one"?

+1 for cheap turbo cars
got my for $250
seems to need a clutch which i was gonna replace anyway
hey cygnusx1 looks like your gonna have a lil competition come summertime
-
from what i been reading it depends on your setup...if all stock with a boost controller of some sort i couldnt imagine seeing anymore than 10psi w/o knock...now if u have some additions (intercooler,custom dp, ect) i could see a reliable 12-15psi...but guys on this forum can prove me wrong with the numbers they make...
-
man u guys on the west coast get all the good deals!
good find thou..

Few months away...Mr. Fuel Pump doesn't work...ha

good luck wit school....im finishin up my classes so i can start my MBA....ME is cool if u got friends to work with...if not it can be a pain! I found that out the hard way...i didnt realize how many engineers there are on this site...
-
its def a great idea you and your assoicates came up with...espically now with all the crisis happening in america...A+ for timing!
-
yeah dash caps can be good...i had my friend tell my my dash was a dash cap...it was so unoticable to the common non z eye..
-
well personally i think u should go wit what u can find...i plan on doing a lsx swap somewhere down the line but i came across a 280zxt motor for dirt cheap so i decided to get some experence by swaping the turbo motor first just to get an understanding on troubleshooting swaps and wiring... then move upward to the lsx swap...but if u can find a donor car chevy for cheap...id say go for it!
-
looking for rust on a z car = check everywhere....but primarily check floorpans,frame rails,under battery tray,around tail lights, wheel wells...when u check make sure to throughly check...like really poke or hit the pannels to see if its metal or bondo...u will be able to tell the difference...floorpans and rails can be harder to tell becuase of the undercoat...i honestly havent figured a good way to tell without removing some of it...
-
must suck if u goin up will wit the bike...use a whole tank alone on that
-
um yeah...so how did u find this "game"
lol
-
lol...now thats a quality hood! i wonder if i can get a bargin if i buy all his crap at once...jk
-
with a price like that...i'll take the chance...im getting tired of reading import tuner to find the out the only nissan car in it is a 240sx with a sr20 swap :-/
i need some better bathroom reading material...lol
-
yeah vids would be nice...cant wait to start my turbo swap..
-
great find...im down for a yr
-
lol...who wants to bet that we will see these on next seasons pimp my ride
-
wow interesting idea...seems like a big supercharger without the gas...doesnt seem like the cars would go very fast (highway speeds)...maybe if it was a rotory and acted like a windmill....just my thoughts
-
u should go inspect the car...photos are very unclear...mininal rust can = ALOT of rust...i found that out when searchin for my Z
280zxt question?
