Not Mine. Mine was close but I had fender mirrors. Those are the Rota RB or RBR's from the group buys what? 12 years ago? Rears are 17x9.5 and front where 17x9's. The overall quality of the paint and everything on this car is/was nicer than mine also. Those look like some generic mirrors from the zstore or blackdragon(still around?)

Amazing Derek!! whats red line on the one in the video? it sounds like its not breaking a sweat at 7k and is begging to be reved out. Also, what transmission is he using? I think I see paddle shifters on his steering column.

I was thinking I had also. Guess I was correct. I remember he seemed very genuine. Sad to see him go.

In my 260 it puts the shifter right in the middle of the hole.

What are you looking for? Like what condition? Are you wanting a turn key or a project that has had a lot of the work done?

I have a few but they need to be over bored. Is that something that interests you?

Something is off on that dyno sheet. The torque and Hp dont cross at 5252. It mathematically has to cross there so I'm not sure what is wrong with the dyno chart or the dyno.

I like where this is going. Im just curious if we are going about this the wrong way. Instead of us modifying it. Why dont we contact the vendor. The changes needed wouldn't add to the production costs any or if there is an increase, it would be small. The company is already set up to make these efficiently and the hard part is the splines which wouldn't change. The rest is just a different profile to make it suite our needs. I'm sure someone on here would draw it up. Seems the simpler way to go...

Umm why do you need head studs and MLS head gasket for 250 HP? The only thing the MLS is going to get you at that HP levels is broken ring lands or bent rods instead of just a blown head gasket when the engine detonates.

Run stock rods. You don't need any more for your HP goals

Mike, Its been an honor to watch your journey. Sometimes enough is enough though and we understand. I wish you luck in everything.

Agreed. And you can fit the factory A/C from a 280z in them also.

I don't know what my machinist set mine to but I know that it isn't an interference fit and slides right together.

Hey Mack, Did you ever get your cams reground and installed? After a few major delays getting my heads rebuilt and MAJOR miscommunication from Motorsport on my cams I ordered. My engine is finally going back together this weekend. I went with MSA's stage one cams which are just under the 131H grind you went with on lift. Just curious how you are liking them and if you noticed any power increase and/or fuel mileage increase.

HAHAHAHA 200 bucks for a that? This is an old trick people have been doing for years. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html

Why does the guy reporting this to us have 0 posts? Not doubting its true just seems odd

I personally would rub it with some emery paper to take off any rough edges and run it.

I personally would take the housing off and take it to a welder/machinist. My father in law does this kind of repair pretty often. He will weld it up and then re-machine the bore back to round.

Didnt you fix your dash years ago? Did it not hold up?

ACT sprung 6 puck with the heavy duty pressure plate. It's held up to hard launches and has held up well.

HJC is not Chinese. They are Korean or Taiwanese i believe. Ok helmet for the money. One thing you need to look at is the standards required required by the sanctioning body your racing in. Pretty much all Manufactures are going to make different levels of helmets that meet different requirements. HJC for instance has entry level helmets at around $80 retail. And they have the Rpha Max helmets also which can be in the $400-$600 range. The cheap ones are only going to be DOT. They will have mid level ones which are Snell also but typically the cheap ones that are snell are very heavy as they have to use heavier cheaper materials to get the strength. Their top of the line helmets which are also snell but are still light do so by using more expensive lighter weight materials. So make sure you do your homework on what is needed and approved for the events your going to be entered. I come from the motorcycle world and worked at dealerships for many years and sold hundreds of helmets. Personally the only 2 brands I will wear is Aria and Shoei. Shoei being my favorite. I race motocross and do some street riding. I have a shelf full of helmets that I have wrecked in hard and then put on the shelf because one good impact is all they are intended for. Yes its expensive but what is your head worth? Also make sure it fits. Have someone measure your head and go by the manufactures size chart. Also under stand that different helmets have different head shapes. Just because your uncomfortable in a helmet that is sized right but isnt comfortable because it is the wrong shape doesnt mean you try the next size up. I have a long oval head and many helmets dont fit me well due to that they are more of an intermediate oval shaped. Ok Done ranting. Not sure if that helps any but a good fitting helmet is more crucial than buying the most expensive in my opinon. Keep in mind when trying them on that it is the tightest its going to be in the showroom and it will loosen up.

My frontier's heads are off right now also!!! You didn't say what year but if it has a knock sensor I would go ahead and replace it with new one. They are known for going out and you have to remove the whole intake to replace it. As far as cams go I'm not sure but would there be a need to retune the ECU? and do you think there would be a decrease in fuel consumption during highway cruising?

I have them... But they are in the car. LOL and I doubt your willing to pay for coil overs in order to get them.

Guys I'm here. Didnt scam anybody. Just never saw the notification that I had a message. When my daughter gets on my tablet and hybridz is open and then she closes the window the red notification doesnt show back up when i get on. The part is sent over a weekago though.
