[4.3L Roll call]

I have a 4.3 in my s10 blazer and im almost done with my rear mount turbo on it. its got vortec heads, cam, edelbrock intake, 454 tbi. Im hoping for around 400hp and a 12 sec 1/4 mile. I talked to a guy who said he saw 9s on a 4.3 and it was the stock bottom end.

[Whats a good vehicle to tow a 16ft trailer with a Z on it?]

i love my duramax. I would invest in a diesel if i was you fun to drive and great mpg.

[Post your daily drivers!!]

my duramax. 220,000 miles and still runs like a beast

[Define the word LOL with one picture]

My brothers poor jaguar got rapped in saran rap lol

[my s130 tube frame chassis]

Made out of hot glue and toothpicks lmao. I know it isnt proportionant or anything. But i do plan on doing this to my s130(with tubing not toothpicks). This shows my tube placement. Basically im just looking for ideas to improve on my design.

more supports in the upper half of the main hoop?

Rear strut tower supports?

[4l60e shift problems]

I got the rebuilt transmission from a guy on ebay that says he rebuilds transmissions for a living. But before i put in this rebuilt transmission i put in one that my dad junked a few years ago because of a seal leaking that i fixed. It did the exact same thing.

[4l60e shift problems]

Ok i know this isnt Z related but i need my DD back. I am having problems shifting in my 93 s10. 1-2 shift is fine but it slip out of 2nd unless im at WOT or at about 1/4 throttle, it wont shift out of 2nd either. I have replaced the transmission, the torque converter, the pcm, and the TPS. The speedometer works so i dont think it is the VSS. I'm stumped fellas i need help.

 

Thanks,

Jeremy

[list your gas prices in your area!!!!]

$1.60 here in kansas

[new to welding]

I have a clarke hot shot. If yours is the spool gun like mine then it is extremely hard to use. any other mig i have used is far easier. to make it alot easier. Get gas for it, slow down your travel speed, and when you get the wire speed set tape it in place because it is very touchy and it is in a bad location.

[1987 Honda CR80]

I would change the oil to. Other than that its a 2 stroke so theres not much that can go wrong.

[What kind of motor oil do you use?]

rotella 5w40 synthetic.I run it in my dirtbike, hard(think 12,000rpm rev limiter racing through desert like terrain).Alot of people run it in bikes without a problem. I usually change oil every 5 hours but last time i waited untill around 10 hours and it looked the same. Still looked like new.

[Changing Oil: Hot or Cold]

My dad (back in the day) used to put in about a gallon of diesel(after he drained all of the oil but left in the oil filter just so there was some oil). And idle it for 5 minutes, then drain.

[Do I need a new muffler bearing?]

It has this "cackle pop pop" when i let off the gas. I have heard that a new muffler bearing will fix this? Although they are quite expensive at 50$ a piece, and mine takes 3 of them!. I have also heard that a new 710 cap will stop this? Another mechanic said that a new johnson rod would solve all of the embarrasing cackles. Does this website have good prices on these items

[Has anyone done this? Sub boxes...]

why the hell would you put a 15" sub in a car like ours? the bass has no time to mature and get the full feel of it. 15" subs are sloppy especially in a small cabin like we have........unless you want to be like a brother drivin down the street in the hood..........

Be careful what you say alot of people get offended by racist comments. I would have to agree that a 15 wouldnt sound the best in a small car. My brother has one 10 inch kicker in his 300zx and it is plenty. My two memphis 15s in my grand prix have pretty tight bass, they sound better than the 12s in my brothers jag(sealed box and polyfillfor the 15s). They are overkill though, when you can see you gauge needles bouncing you know your bass is to loud.

[Starter Welder]

If you want a total piece of ♥♥♥♥ buy a clarke hot shot. The wire feed control is very touchy and is mounted on the gun. It is far to easy to bump and mess up. you have to get the setting perfect or it wont run a bead. I have gotten decent with it. I can make much better welds with the schools millers

[AK vs M16 vs Mosin Nagant]

Dang, now i want to buy a mosin nagant for rabbit hunting.

[Beg. welder, and this is my first Z project done. Check it out!]

ya my teacher is really chill, our shop is massive. it has at least 30 stick welders and.... 9 MIG

geeze, well our shop has 3 stick and 6 mig, not bad for a highschool of around 60 people. I actually like arc better than mig when i have to make really strong welds. I think mig is harder than arc for that stuff

[4 Door Lambo Wagon]

I don't think that is a real car...most of the images in that gallery feel like photoshop or CG to me. If it IS real, it's a very professional job. Guess he couldn't wait for the new Espada...

wow, I was designing a new z in english class about a week ago and it looked almost exactly like that, it wasnt quite that long in the back side window area. Ive never seen this car before. weird. they need to stop trying to make a z!

[Beg. welder, and this is my first Z project done. Check it out!]

thanks, lol, that was the first time to do a tubing weld. i just grinded off the welds today and im gonna paint it soon.

yup, i just wish our shop at school didnt have a no cars policy. it is a very large shop with 9 welders. instead im building an inclosed trailer

[Too cute, and ingenious at the same time]

Super. I'd definatly shoot it if I were hunting.

dude what is that thing its buzzing too loud lets shoot it .lol. its creepy how it moves so lifelike when it is falling on the ice

[Beg. welder, and this is my first Z project done. Check it out!]

your welds are fine. Our shop teacher has been welding for 40+ years, and his welds look similar to yours. like a row of tacks. his is more consistant but i wouldnt change a thing your welds look good! your tubing welds need some practice though

[Where's a paladin or necromancer when you need one?]

lol dungeons and dragons was so funny, we beat a torosk once after i was swallowed 3 times and somehow busted out everytime.

[My brother asked me to store Jar Jar Binks]

trap door to the rancor lmao, yoda cracks me up as well

[Botched Paint Job...anyone want a job?]

if you are willing to wait untill spring our paint booth will be up. And take it to kansas. It will get done right. if you want a true fire paint job it is an extra 500. I think that would look sick on a z. We are only doing this so cheap because we are a small shop.
