  1. I am very confused asking for a hand here. I am building a turbo 400 tranny and need to decide if I am going to put in a trans brake. plus sides way better launches manual shifting not to hard on the tranny no way to hit nuetral (reverse pattern) negitives manual shifting having to shift all the time more money Please if you have any oppinions about this i would greatly appreciate it. Background on the car. Its a weekend warrior that is still being built. lots of time and thought have gone into this build and i want to make it unique in its own way. You guys and gals always give me great advice and I thank you for the help

  3. Im toying around with this myself. Im doing a custom dash and mounting it in there below the heating controls (280zx), and am going to have the dvd drive eject between the front seats and hide the computer and a enclosure behind the seats. Only down side to it is now you have the weight of a power inverter, the computer, screen and amps for the speakers. On a plus side you can get a digital tuner for computers:) Im still pondering

  15. If you put a ac (yes i said an ac) meter on the batery and you see more then .1-.9 volts ac its probably the alt. Just for those of you questioning me on this an alt is a 3 phase generator basically. It has a bridge rectifier the converts it to dc. Sounds to me like a voltage regulator but it could be an alt. just my .02
