Great build. Impressed with your problem-solving solutions. I'm not in California. Any concerns with smog inspections when the engine is older than the chassis? Or are 35 year-olds exempt?

Is that why Ferrari 308 is so expensive? Royalties on the "0".....

I had the same problem selling some NOS NGK spark plugs with "Nissan" in the eBay auction title.

Hey. Great car. Have fun and enjoy your project. It seems that without the transmission cooler, the cooling system is sort of minimal. Like: purpose built for run long enough to complete a quarter-miler pass. Is that remote water pump adequate for road driving?

I alwys liked the snug fit of Hooker Scarab headers.

I heard about an electrical solution to (this on a '50s custom car). They hid a 9V battery connector in the car's grille, wired in parallel to the driver's door solenoid. As long as the bad guys didn't know what it was for..... and you can get hands on a 9V battery, it was enough to open the door with a dead battery - or even no battery. Still it would be a good idea to have a mechanical solution. Why is it "almost" finished, you ask? Well, we realized that a failure of the battery cutoff means there's no way to get into the car (assuming it was locked) and that would be kinda dire, so we need a secret/hidden, external manual rear hatch release as a last chance option. We already have an interior cable release for the hatch and I'd like to maintain it's functionality as well, so it could get tricky, we'll see.

84 300ZX Turbo has 5-lug wheels, therefore 5-bolt rotors. Base would have 4-bolt rotors.

I really like this roadster (and your GTO). Can you do a built thread? (not to take this thread off-topic), I'm interested in how the chassis is reinforced for going roofless.

Dodge/Chrysler uses an over-run clutch to prevent the serp. belt squealing if there is a load on the alternator while accelerating. The clutch will slip and then allow the alt to gradually speed up to the crank and belt speed.

I think the car has a LS1 and T56 swap, according to his sig, this the comment: "I'm not sure how much power or Torque this new engine makes over the stock engine."
