I'm starting to get this you tube thing figured out. Here is a better quality video. Although the sound quality is probably the same.And that's really the important part! I can't edit the original link because my edit period has expired. Derek

I did rewire a bunch but it still looks like a nest! I'm in the process of designing my custom console which should finalize the rest of the wiring...Yea right! I was at a 350Z and infinity meeting in Gainesville on Saturday (token S30) and they were quite impressed with my creature comforts! Derek

Are you jealous of my insulation? You should be:) That valve ticking is actually a combination of normal valve noise and the injectors firing. The way I have the injector caps and lines they seem to really resonate. I tried the mike in the engine compartment and the ticking noise was overwhelming the sweet sound of the ITBs. Maybe I'll duct tape the mike to my head. cuz it sounds a lot better where my ears are. Derek

Thanks guy's Well as I was shooting the video I was thinking WWBPD (what would big phil do?) and came to the conclusion I can' repeat your "mug in the camera" intro's! Maybe when I do a proper video you can do the intro for me! I'm not really sure if I'll be selling these or not. May be too much of a hassle for the tiny market. Right now I'm running an E88 with dished pistons and a stock cam. I just bought a P90 that I'm going to have milled .080". I'm going with flatops and an ISKY regrind. That should bump it up a bit. Derek

I shot some more video today. It's really hard to get an accurate sound. Also the videos all look like I'm going about 5 miles an hour! I'm actually doing 50 to 70 most of the time. The mike was in the cabin with me. Next time I'll give it a try with it in the engine compartment. Thanks Derek

That's part of the reason I quit tuning it! I knew I'd have to start from scratch. Keep me posted on your new system. Tuning ITB's are a bitch. (at least for me) Derek

Hi Phar Well I have over 3000 miles on them and I'm really happy. They start every time. Idle like a champ. The extra code even raises the idle for me when I turn on the A/C. I've had zero problems with hot start issues or any issue for that matter. The air filters are working fine. I pulled one at 1500 miles and cleaned it in a clear container so I could see how much dirt I was dealing with. The outer filter showed some dirt but the inner was as clean as could be. The biggest problem with them is me. I just don't have any free time to work on the tuning. I know the economy sucks but the pattern business is rocking. I'm gearing up to do a little motor work. I bought a p90 from jeffer949 and plan on doing the mill .080" and shim the cam routine. I'm going to go with an ISKY regrind specs TBD and cast flat top pistons. This should be a nice affordable step up for me in performance. I'm hoping this will help show the real potential on my manifold other than sounding and looking cool. Although that's still good enough for me! Derek

My factory cargo straps are junk and I want to replace them. Has anyone come up with any cool ideas on straps? I've been checking out various tie downs and ratchet straps but unfortunately I can't seem to come up with black ones. Thanks Derek

I hear ya. I bought a new microphone for the video camera but I've just been really slammed with work. On a brighter side though the car runs like a million bucks (That would convert to $1,523,717 for you). I have over 3000 miles on them in all kinds of conditions and they have exceeded all of my expectations. I daily drive the car. Nothing leaks, it always starts and so far no hot start issues. I'll seriously try and get some new videos up. Thanks for the push Derek

205/60/15. Probably a little small for this crowd but I didn't want any rubbing problems. Nissan Comp stage 1 springs, Tokico Illuminas. Derek

Before I got married I had a 23' travel trailer parked in my shop and I lived in that. Well I showered and slept in it, I LIVED in the shop! It worked out great for me for a few years. I eventually built a nice loft with a shower. Chicks thought it was cool until they had to trek down the stairs in the middle of the night to use the can! Derek

Probably has something to do with the yellow band below his title! Derek

I have 15' Konig Rewinds, Toyota calipers with vented rotors and Illuminas. I had to grind some of the vent material off of the caliper castings for the wheels to fit. It wasn't that much though. Derek

This is my Schwinn Suburban 5 speed circa 1973. This was the last bike I had before I got my drivers license. And once you have your license and a car who needs a bike! I saw this on ebay about 5 years ago and figured what the hell and bought it. The last time I rode it was a few years ago but it rode like a new bike.Too bad I can't afford to replace the Apple Krate I had before the suburban! Derek

That's what American innovation has come to. Innovating new ways to sue people for your own idiocy. Derek

Yes but not in real time! Amazon just revoked my edition of 1984 anyway. This sucks.

I'm for anything that discourages and defeats the use of big brother cameras. After a few years it will be ok to have one pointing at my front door. Derek

I have the same ones on my car and for about the same time period. I'm happy with the feel. It takes a bit of hefting while parking if your not rolling but it's not too bad at all. I wouldn't change back to stock. Derek

My machine is giving me fits and my wife just had back surgery so I'm dealing with that as well. Fortunately she can wipe her own ass! I'm inundated with work right now which is good for me and bad for the HybridZ community. At this point I have no idea when I'm going to be able to produce some more stuff. Derek

I don't have time to get into the ins and outs of it but no, using bronze is a bad idea. I'll give you the same advice I give everyone else. Find a small foundry (does not need to be near you) that will work on short run projects. Learn how to make the patterns (which you have to do anyway) and leave the pouring to the foundry. If you read the three threads I have on casting my EFI manifold you will have a pretty good idea how to get it done. The info is all there. Derek

Me neither No problems Derek

I forgot to post why I have central locking... I shaved the door lock cylinders. The door looks a lot better without them. I still have a key to the hatch and if there is ever a problem I can reach in through the open hatch and unlock. Sorry no shots of the finish product. It's raining out! Derek Edit: One other thing I did. By removing the lock Cylinder and then installing a metal shield over the latch there's no way to get in there with a slim jim.

I love my central locking system, cruise control,electric windows and Vintage Air ac unit that actually cools. But then again this is my daily so I want my comforts! Derek
