  1. Once there lived a woman who had a maddening passion for baked beans. She loved them but unfortunately, they had always had a very embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction to her. Then one day she met a man and fell in love. When it became apparent that they would marry she thought to herself, "He is such a sweet and gentle man, he would never go for this carrying on." She made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans. Some months later her car broke down on the way home from work. Since she lived in the country she called her husband and told him that she would be late because she had to walk home. On her way, she passed a small diner and the odor of the baked beans was more than she could stand. Since she still had miles to walk, she figured that she would walk off any ill effects by the time she reached home. So, she stopped at the diner and before she knew it, she had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home she putt-putted, and upon arriving home she felt reasonably sure she could control it. Her husband seemed excited to see her and exclaimed delightedly, "Darling, I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded her and led her to her chair at the table. She seated herself and just as he was about to remove the blindfold from his wife, the telephone rang. He made her promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned. He then went to answer the telephone. The baked beans she had consumed were still affecting her and the pressure was becoming almost unbearable, so while her husband was out of the room she seized the opportunity, shifted her weight to one leg and let it go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of pulpwood mill. She took her napkin and fanned the air around her vigorously. Then, she shifted to the other cheek and ripped three more, which reminded her of cooked cabbage. Keeping her ears tuned to the conversation in the other room, she went on like this for another ten minutes. When the telephone farewells signaled the end of her freedom, she fanned the air a few more times with her napkin, placed it on her lap and folded her hands upon it, smiling contentedly to herself. She was the picture of innocence when her husband returned, apologizing for taking so long and he asked her if she peeked. She assured him that she had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and she was surprised!!! There were twelve dinner guests seated around the table to wish her a "Happy Birthday"!!!
  2. Great info! Thanks Tony. Would space allow for 1 thick and 1 thin or is there little bennift in doing this?
  3. From my research, I would at least double the amount for Megasquirt. Unless you plan on building it yourself. Do you have most of these parts already? 50 for the intake can be questionable. I've seen them go for 42 to 125. Was your "not including fittings" line, including modification of the oil Pan? Just double the figure and I would think you would be safe.
  4. SU Insulators gave me three more threads.... http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php?searchid=1412403
  5. I searched for SU spacers and only came up with three threads. Maybe I'm calling them the wrong thing. What advantages / disadavanteges are there running thin or thick spacers between the SU carbs and the intake. I bought an N36 intake awhile back that came with thin 1/4" or so ones. The other intakes E48 & E88 all have the thicker 3/4" or so ones. I know the carbs were differnet for the years of the intake, was the size just due to carb size? Thanks!

    My new Z vid

    Like the vid! You must be in the market for new rear tires though!
  7. I would try DHL. They are much, much cheaper than Fedex on surfboards.
  8. I also put a third screw jack diretly under the rear end.
  9. Yep, Did the wobble test. I also jacked the back, then the front, then the back again to make sure I was straight. Then the wobble test.
  10. Good luck, Keep safe, maybe when you get back things will fall back into place.
  11. The Titty sing in the second youtube link is fantastic!
  12. It's going to be here a little bit. I've decided to get her running first, then worry about my high HP motor I want later. I just want to make sure I'm safe and cause no un do stress to the car. Thanks, Jeff
  13. The baby delivery was hilarious!
  14. Engine looks great! Very clean and welcome. Now get a second one and hybrid the hell out of it!
  15. These are the 85 Maxima brackets referred to in this thread right? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330183347319&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014
  16. Oops! I understand. I was very impressed with Electromotive. I bought mine on ebay, but the Tech support person (Nick) has been wonderful on the phone. I'm tempted to send him a gift just for all the FREE advise he has given me thus far.
  17. This is perfect, professional, vauge and sparks enough info for a potential new client. If the information they seek is really that important, they will buy.
  18. I agree 100% with you, however, your job as an owner is to tell them, politley to F__K off. You need to do it politey though. Hanging up is not polite, period. It is unprofessional, rude and leaves a bad taste in a potential customers mouth. It is a very fine line and a difficult one at best and sometimes it is okay to burn a bridge or two, in the extreme cases, but your job as a owner is too sell, sell, sell and to kiss arss.
  19. Love the movie! That is great. No offense intended, but I'm glad you have a girl friend, otherwise you would look like your hitting for the wrong team! You should have convinced her to wear just the "Thermal Bandages".
  20. I've seen many posts in support of Zsports position, but Bottom line, if you have all the tallent in the world, but don't have the people skills to run a business, you really shouldn't be in business. As a business owner, part of YOUR responsiblity is dealing with rude, dumb moochers who want something for nothing. If you don't think this is your responsiblity you won't be in business for long, your living under a rock, or you have such a high profit margin that you need so few customers. As a customer, I don't care what kind of day your having, unless you communicate up front with me your having a bad one. I'm looking for information or a service. In most business, there is ALWAYS someone else you could use, there is ALWAYS somone better than you, there is ALWAYS someone smatter then you. Please have a nice day!
