Buy a zx, they have lights on the lower panel under the glove box and steering wheel! heehee. P.S. also in the key lock on the doors, ingnition, inside trunk light and two overhead interior lights:). I even believe on in the glove box as well!
Don't forget about the cigarette lighter socket!
My lighter shoots out and lands between the seat and tranny tunnel to let you know it is ready.
I need to fix that. -
You could try folding them back after you park...at least they're a smaller target that way, and less likely to get bumped hard.
-
I think those overflow tubes route to the rear of airfilter box.

I want a Carbon-Fiber ZXR wing!!

It's cool man. Wasn't trying to to make you look bad. Just wanted to show you. Where I got the picture from. Because I can't take credit for that beautiful Z. I would really be bs'in. lol It's all good bro'. And sweet 240z man.
I don't blame you at all for liking that photo!! I wish it were mine so I could frame it, lol.
Thanks for the props on my 260. It just keeps on going...but my SU's hate to start when it gets below freezing.
-
WildmaN, I was totally wrong!
Thanks for setting me straight.Here is my daily driver:
I telecommuted to work this day. (I was repairing the FG airdam so I had a 240z front valance on).

Does all CF require a vacuum sealed bag and oven to cure?
The reason I ask is I saw a "How it's made" on CF bodied cellos and that was part of the molding process.
What a cool idea!
-
I could be wrong, but I swear this car belongs to one of the members of Northwestz.org (still the original owner). I've always wanted to copy-cat this photo...it shouldn't be too difficult to find a frozen waterfall on the Columbia river historic highway.
A pristine '81 turbo that is soooo OEM, I call it "extreme stock" lol!
-
<= I like this engine too!
I can't take credit for finding these, my Japanese buddy here at work must have found the right keyword.
-
Wow. It went for a pretty decent price!
Interesting how the item location is Scappoose, Oregon and the buyer is a NOS Datsun seller. Keepin' the parts in small circles, lol...
I'm thinking it may be up again in a couple weeks.

I still think it's do-able. I'm not sure the driveshaft idea would work if you run an open diff or to take into account cornering. It would add to the complexity, but I don't see how you would get around having to monitor both LF/LR and RF/RR separately unless you have a 50/50 diff.
You might be able to lower the ~10% difference and just account for hysteresis.
It would be really cool if a Wolf could be capable of controlling this. Since it can flip between two programs, it would be really easy to turn the traction control on or off with the flip of a switch.
-
wait why do you need to know if the front wheels are spinning? whether they are or not you cant do anything to make them stop. can you?
The point is to control the rears from over-spinning, but in order to do that you need to know if they are or not. An easy way to do this is to compare the velocity of the rears versus the fronts. They should be roughly equal if there is no wheelspin. The fronts should never lose traction in acceleration since we're rwd (of course).
A good way limit power for a turbo might be to use an electronic boost controller...
-
I think that it's an excellent idea and you're futher along in your plan than I am.
Is the main purpose to control a launch at the strip, or were you thinking of a full-on vehicle dynamics control? I'm still missing the point why you'd want to monitor front wheelspin...
[Edit: D'oh! You'd need to know front wheel speed to control the rear speed...excuse my brain fart, lol]
I was thinking more along the lines of using a rev limiter to control power versus pulling timing if was for the strip. I like the idea of pulling timing much better!
-
I agree, that is really well done!
Frank, I like the split Euro lights for the front indicators. Any idea where I can find a set? I remember Pallnet sold off his set and I was broke at the time or else they would be on my car now.
-
Dose any body have a turbo manifold, that you have laying around that, you want to give me or sell to me for a cheap price ?
Intake manifold or exhaust?? Not to say that I have one available.
It seems like you cannot give away an intake, but exhaust mani's are getting more rare to come by it seems...
-
Just saw this and I love. I really want a first gen celica now
Justin, if you like Celicas you have to check out this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osQALBaMP14&NR=1
I owned a '78 second gen, it was a cool car for college. It took me from PDX to Chicago and back a few times. It was a fun car, but I wanted a turbo for it so bad climbing the rockies with 2.2l ~96 HP n/a.
-
Clifton, I feel compelled to say that your '71 is one of the most bada$$ looking S30's I've ever seen!! I really like the flairs, wide tires, banzai paint scheme, and I have to ask if those are 280ZX ducts in the hood...those totally complete the look. And it performs as good as it looks to boot!
Damn impressive Man!!
-
is a couple of jolts from an ign. coil enough to put someone into seizure or something if it jumps their heart? I really like the push to start idea, but I'm not a big fan of lawsuits.
I don't know if I would get sued or not if someone got a heart attack by trying to steal my hoopty-260.
What if someone stuck their tounge on your ignition coil in the engine bay while it was running and got a heart attack?
Stupidity or getting hurt during attempted grand theft auto shouldn't be a reason to sue if you ask me...
I know we're not supposed to get political around here, so I'm going to leave it at that.

lets hope it doesnt become your casket by accident
Believe me MJ, that thought has crossed my mind many times as well.
[Edit: Well I at least have to say something to zeeboost. I'm right there with you Man except I skipped over the girlfried bit and went right to the Z from the start!
I already offered to start "HA" Portland chapter but some of us are still searching that river in Africa...lol]
-
Life is very short and we can't take our ♥♥♥♥ with us...Amen. Ever see a U-haul behind a hearse?... me neither.
Guys...this might sound creepy, but I've thought of being buried in my 280ZXT.
It already has the black diamond tuck interior...just like a casket.
How much is the reserve on a double wide plot?
-
C'mon, you don't see the yellow S30 with the Lotus Elise body kit?!
-
The distributor and oil pump share the same shaft on L-series engines.
It could be that someone installed the oil pump / distributor shaft retarded (literally speaking).
The '81 turbo distributor is different than '82-83. What year is your L20ET?
Also, it might have been better to start a new thread with a proper title...

That is a most aggresive looking dog!
It probably is a wolf, they're making a comeback at least in the west. Last week the first wolf entered Oregon (a female) from the re-introduction into Montana, or Idaho...They're radio tracking her and they say she can move really fast considering the terrain.
I see coyotes in suburban Portland once in awhile...they just follow the streams in.
Lucky it wasn't a cougar. Those sound wicked at night! I camped at this place called Devil's Flats. All I could hear was "DOOOOOWWW! DOOOOOOWW!" all night long. My dog at the time was a Wolf/Coyote/Elkhound/Rot mix and it seemed she was more scared than me!
Our relationship with wild animals is really wierd now. We have programs where we collect road kill over the winter. Then if we have an early spring, we helicopter the roadkill to the mountains so the cougars won't come looking for food in the neighborhoods...no joke.
I hope you can get some cool pics!!
I need to fix that.
Thanks for setting me straight.
What's wrong with these Flares?

Obviously he didn't read Austin Hoke's "How to install them thare ZG flares" thread.
