where can i find John Mortensen's writeup ??

Thanx for the info guys.. i think i understand a little better

Here is a few pix of my car.

Pallnet ID like to Get one of your rails, the #1 rail, being I still have stock style injectors. I also want to run AN fittings just as you did.. I dont know if it makes a difference not familiar with the thread pitches... Also I Am not going to run a cold start injector, so if you could make the rail with out the cold start injector port that would be great but if not thats ok too. Im assuming you only accept pay pal? please get back to me asap. I plan to order at least one this weekend. Thank you.

where can i get a nismo comp header? Does any one know? I have a 3.0L and ID like to get a decent header for it

I have a 3liter forged motor, rebelo head that is gasket matched, I believe to have bigger valves and a huge race cam. . . and I believe that my stock intake runners are way too small for my engine to breath properly. Im lookin at my intake maninfold options. My friend suggested the lone wolf intake manifold. . . how much do they run? I know the engine is capable of producing much more power than it is because I drove the car that the engine was in befor I got it. . The engine had tripple 43mm webbers on it And it was way faster. Does anyone have any ideas to give?? I do not want to deal with tripples at all. The engine is now mega squirted with a stock intake, and stock turbo injectors (270cc I think) that have yet to be maxed out, Please give me some options,

mike thoes are nice

new xxr 527s

here are the wheels i just got. let me know what yall think

These are the wheels that I want!!!!!!! Im not yet running coilovers but there soon in my future.

Ive got thoes exact same wheels with 225 60 14 tires!!!! also on a white car

Thanks everyone for the inputs so far. riscard: that is just what I'm looking for and will start doing the research. What if I can get a reasonable 327 ($2100 fully put together)? Would you still get the 350? Michael: You are correct in that US military have exemptions. I'm in the US military and have been stationed there twice (total of 5 years). All the car has to pass is safety test and lights, etc. I had two Nissan Skylines (GTS wished GTRs) shipped from Japan and drove them in Germany. Both sucked due to gear ratio, but that is another story. There is some awesome stretches of road in the former East Germany. You cannot compare the speed you can do in GE to AZ. I cruised 90-100 MPH in our Pathfinder. I got up to 150 MPH in a Audi Quattro TT. That was a blast. Overall you're right that it is hard to find a stretch that you can do 150+ MPH, but you can. AZ you do that speed and they'll take your car from you and you'll end up in jail. I do want torque just not massive amounts of it like the 400 SBC has. Something reasonable as I'm not interested in going fast down a short stretch of road (drag racing). Maybe a 1 to 1 ratio? The gearing is something I've got to research as well. I'm not sure what I have right now. Thanks again everyone.

Hi, I have a two part question for the V8 SMEs (subject matter experts). First I have to provide the background info and my goals. Background: the car came with a stock (maybe slightly better heads) SBC 400, T5, and R200. The engine if I understand correctly was pushing 200-225 HP and around 300 lbs of torque. Due to the size of the tires (small) it would spin on 1st-3rd gear, so not too worried about the transmission at this time. Currently the car has been stripped down and media blasted. It needs a little work on the body in the usual places. The frame rails and body has been stiffened as well as a 6 point cage added. I paid too much for the car, but such is life. Goals: I'm in the military and hope to be station in Germany, so with that in mind I want a top end car. I'm not interested in drag racing it, but once or twice to see what it'll do. I might road race it if I have the time. I'd like to have a high RPM engine (top end in mind), with good HP and not huge amounts of torque. As an example say 375 HP with 300 lbs of torque. So as the 400 SBC is a high torque engine it is out as an option. As I have motor mounts for a SBC please don’t list the RB26 or any of the others. Also I don’t have a huge budget as the rest of the car will require a lot of work. Questions: 1) Which engine is a better fit for what I wish (high RPM engine (top end in mind), with good HP and not huge amounts of torque) a 327 or 350? 2) What cam would I need in either to get this? (high RPM, high HP and not huge amounts of torque) Thanks for your time.

I am interested in two pair for 280z's please email me with the info. codyethridge@yahoo.com

I also was going to do a v8 swap and still might, but I am working on a v8 car for my friend and im learning alot more every day I work on it. I have the JTR book and it references the scarab kit. Altho Im not educated on the JCI kit but ive read and reread/studied if you will, the JTR book and it breaks everything down to make it sound easy, but like I said ive never done the swap but it sounds easy enough with the JTR kit. Also the JTR kit allows for better shifter placement and beter center of gravity being that the engine is lower in the car. Also the JTR book has some nifty little tips on whts the best trans to use for you application suspension, tire sizes, They have pics of cars that are already built,

I love that car and I am very happy with the fact that you finished a Z project, or got it that far. I realize that a Z project is never really completely finished but that car is amazing. I only wish I could get mine to look like that car. Altho I do have a black hood hahahah and tinted headlight covers, but my car will probly never be that fast. Ill try to post pics on here when I figure out how do load them
