Datsun350Z

I just got Mr. Gasket locking hood pins for my trunk. Not installed yet, but they look sturdy enough.

$20k? I'll take 2. Edit: BTW, nice leaving the parking lot at the diner. I guess there aren't many cops around there?

Too bad Z's don't stand out like a RHD Skyline with a crab driving it. The things that hand will see in prison!

It is super heavy stuff. It was / seemed like my best option other than welding in a box for the cell. All said and done though, difference in weight is minimal. The tank and material i cut and removed vs. fuel cell, fittings, and plate is only I think a 12 lb weight gain.

This is what I did to finish out the end of the summer last year. http://www.putfile.com/album/143384 You can see my battery tray in the first and last pics of the album. Not the setup you were looking for for the battery, but lots of pics anyway.

Keep in mind that bolt ons for the S don't gain much power at all, and many available bolt ons are even losing power. You will have to have an exhaust made for the swap, and it's likely you will lose power there as well. I'm a huge s2000 fan, but the reality is there is no extra power without going the turbo or SC route. Just be ready to explain why you lost to a bolt on L motor for 4x the price. I hope you do the swap, and don't let the negative comments get you down. Good luck with whatever you choose.

0, Final answer.

Don't expect it to be a trouble free 2-3 years. As long as you budget a little bit for repair and maint. you have a pretty good plan going on. Definitely a good mindset, Less debt is always a good thing.

I wouldn't worry about it too much... You always have options.

That's the other end of the mini 'busa swap spectrum. I'd like to see a shootout between the two.

At least it's not much gift wrap.

That guys laugh was great. Made me bust out laughing myself. People here at work must think i'm crazy, laughing out loud at CAD Drawings.

I got 2 sets of these: For this: Seems like the best way to keep my trunk lid on.

There was some stuff on cafepress.com I bought a HybridZ Polo shirt off there a few months back, but I don't see the link anymore, and a search of the site turns up nothing.

Lmao. Hot coffee through nose. I thought you did the edit, then I scrolled to the right and saw skeletor. I used to have the he-man and skeletor action figures that took damage when you tapped their chest. It would roll from normal to damaged to busted up.

Those stripes look like they were touched up in microsoft paint...

I have a full por-15 gas tank treatment / cleaner / sealer. I went with a fuel cell, So I'm not going to be using it.

You should have the valve on order already.

For extra HP Press: If they are sold out of that I guess I'll take a 2jz swap.

B. F. H.

$20 for a year license fee (They give you a photo ID). $18.50 per race... buy 3 get 1 free. So I guess it's $80 for 4 races if you include the license fee? I guess it's a little steep, but are there any other places that don't use B&S 5hp motors?

For indoor go-karts, any place picked out? If not: http://www.v-17.com

Let's just hope the promises don't go the way of the 135i. I'm looking forward to how this pans out. I hope the boy racers don't jack up the insurance too much. Looks awesome on paper. I wonder if the high end model or the turbo model will be a better performance platform? Although we generally laugh at the tiburon here in the states, they have a pretty good tuner scene overseas from what I hear. I think this thing is gonna explode like the civic did. Finally a RWD affordable coupe that has good performance #'s. Other than things that can be removed with fishing line and a heat gun, what's not to like?

I'm probably in. I'll be bringing the TT again. Going to UFC 78 saturday so I doubt I'll touch the car before the meet.

Everything isn't necessarily ruined, is it? What about sending it out to get jet-hot coated? I know it's some extra money, but at least you won't be throwing parts away.
