Curious to know... what does your IDC look like with those 550s at the 430whp mark?

You can weld it, that's what was done with mine; no leaks no problems. JB Weld or proper. You can replace the pipe with a proper fitting piece.

Any of you JZ guys road racing? Just about everything I've searched, brings up drag strips.

Replaced the t-stat in my RB25 with a NISMO unit and both the old (probably OEM) and NISMO unit had a burp valve.

Anybody see these? http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=562_588&products_id=11370 Read that they're only offered exclusively from that site. The ones available here: http://www.wilwood.com/Products/001-Calipers/033-cpb/index.asp which are radial mounted--these don't seem to be the same. Think these could be rigged up to the AZC kit in order to retain mechanical parking brake functionality?

hey! that's your vid that I posted.. hehehe cool Yeah, I was wondering if it was more of a power issue, as RIPS has no problem dragging his car up to 130. Plus if it could take down a viper like on the vid, well... that says a lot! johnc--if it were landspeed, I'd go with the Z32 right away, looking at what Jun has done Now I thought I had narrowed it down, but it looks like it's back to the drawing board.. lol

Looking for something with more top end though, and it seems the S30 hits that wall far too early. In terms of top end, I'd rank it along the lines of Z32>S13>S30, not too sure how far the gap is between the Z32 and S13 as I know of only a handful of accounts where an S-chassis was taken 150+mph, all reporting feeling 'floaty' at those speeds. I've seen the sticky for the windtunnel results regarding the S30... the cd is still pretty high when compared to the Z32 and S13. The S13 actually beats out the Z32 when taking surface area into account! I'm wondering how much of a difference the wheelbase of the Z makes, when going against an S13 running wider meats. This video I ran across did peak my interest on the S30 a bit though (viper is doing the chasing): http://videos.streetfire.net/video/29cdb0ad-d4a3-4161-8adc-9915005ebdc8.htm Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to fix an old 280z up, but I feel it has the least potential for what I'm looking for... Can these chassis really be made somewhat equals though? Just wondering, why do you still give the S30 the advantage? (aside from owning one )

Did a search on here and a couple of other forums... so here goes. In terms of road racing, can you give me pros/cons of the Z32 vs. the S13? I would've included the S30 but drag and aero seem to limit it, and the S130 is out due to looks (sorry). I know the suspension on the Z32 and S13 are pretty much similar. I don't intend on keeping the stock powerplant on either, so that's not going to be a problem. With the VG gone, and a couple of light weight reduction mods, the Z32 *seems* pretty competitive to the S13's nimble handling. I've read BRAAP's intro to the Z32 and it looks like a lot of the complaints come to wiring, but if the VG is going out.. how does it fair? HICAS on a TT can be disabled as well.. any other negs to the Z32? An N/A chassis should be quite cheap to acquire (not compared to the S13), but I've read that it's already plenty stiffer on it's own. Most of the comparisons between the 240sx to the 300zx end with people saying the S13 is cheaper to build, while the 300zx has more "class" and "refinement" (whatever that means.. maybe referring to the interior?), and in terms of performance, they should be relatively equal, weight not withstanding. Your thoughts? 300zx... comfort, while still holding it's own in the corners. 240sx... closer to the 240z as a whole?
