    Do a beam element test using a program like Algor. Very simple, and you don't have to model everything. Just enter the node coordinates, material properties and moments of inertia of your tubing and you are good to go. Race car vehicle dynamics has a good writeup on how to test a car's torsional rigidity through experimental means as well. Would be good to do both and correlate the results.

    Bad idea

    Someone watches WAY too much porn...

    Just FYI my bone stock (oops! K&N drop in filter) BMW 535i (1988) dyno'd at 133rwhp and 150ft-lbs... Actually a fair bit more than a stock 240z/L24, but nothing crazy. It will be a nice platform for future modifications though. With the 8:1CR I am seriously thinking about turboing mine.

    I'll just keep this step ladder in my pocket, shall I?

    That's INTERNATIONAL talk like a pirate day. Yarrrr!

    Chino if you wanted sorted out bring it over to Vic and leave it with me for a week and I'll dyno tune the whole kaboodle for you.

    Trying to get them to send me a sample set and bribing them with a large sale if they're all they claim. We'll see...

    Actually the R190's are not THAT rare, I've seen 2 myself and we hardly received any Z's up here compared to the US market.

    Wow, if that is indeed all 20ga sheetmetal like he says, there was someone very talented behind that... As for the rest...

    Gah, terrible to see Pete. I hope the person that did it has some notion and respect for what they've done...

    I ran a turbo with straight pipe only after it for over a year in my Z... wasn't that loud in all honesty. Not much difference between that and with the magnaflow 3" straight through that I am running now.
  14. Drax240z
    Strange, I've had them both in my hands at the same time and there is a difference. I may have pictures at home I'll check later.
  15. Drax240z
    Sounds like the right path to me, what is your CR and actual displacement? (still 350?)
  16. Drax240z
    Let me guess, lots of bolts fall out from under your dash, then your floorpans fall out, right?

    It is fast, and David is an ex-canam driver, so he knows his way around the track too.

    Haha, that is a great pic! You're going to love the car after that!

    A 7 is completely street legal in Canada, BTW.
  20. Drax240z
    Somewhere in the $50-$60k canadian range if I remember correctly. Car runs low 12's right out of the box.

    8.3:1CR, 6psi boost, SDS, 3" exhaust, 2.5" DP, 60mm TB and NPR intercooler gave me 198rwhp on my dyno dynamics dyno, or ~231rwhp on a dynojet. The increase in CR was well worth it for the throttle response.

    If you are interested in one in bc, check this out. http://www.super7cars.com hyabusa powered. Really nice pakage, I've raced against the owner of the company more than a few times!
  23. Drax240z
    Nope, I'm running turbo pistons with an N42 head. 8.3:1 CR. Pinging issues were a combination of tuning, and oil burning caused by a bad turbo seal.
  24. Drax240z
    I'll remember that one for my next swap. Very slick.

    Sadly I don't have pics from that build. I am not sure why now that I think about it, other than it happened over a very short period of time and I didn't have a camera at the time, apparently I didn't borrow one either. It is NOT for the faint of heart. If you are going to attempt it get the S30 chassis manual with all the chassis dimensions in it and build yourself a solid, level jig out of I beam or large square tubing.
