as far as I know, from looking at my failed papers, AZ only tests for HC and CO%, but not Nox. my car was failing because the head needed a rebuild. then it needed a FPR because it was shooting the injectors with 100PSI, now it just needs a few adjustments to get it perfect.

rat rod Building a car with little money and function 100x over form. meaning, lots of shoddy welded panels, lots of rust, and a car that looks like it'll fall apart whilst maintaining full function. if you want a rat rod Z start with something that looks like hell, toss on an airdam but don't paint it (or just make it flat black) lower it, the interior would be non-existant, and the paint would be well...rust colored basically here's a cobra daytona that looks like a rat rod to me

I don't think I'll ever get sick of my car. Even when she breaks down or makes me bleed, whenever I fire her up I've got a grin like a kid in a candy store haha.

the 75 doesn't have that pressure switch. It changed to that style in 77 or 78

I know a few R/C cars that can beat our Z's sadly......

The front end definitely needs tweaking. the biggest thing that irks me are the headlights.I think he should've kept the nice big sugar scoops, but had a headlight lense built into the scoops. the rear end is nice, but I think the tail light needs some sort of tweaking. and the indentation on the roof has to go too XP BUT MAN is that AMAZING. A couple of his renders are so nice I thought "Whoa, who built that?!"

Yeah my first post was going to say "What's a 350ZX?"

Wow, cool, so I was right that your cover came loose and it bled out. How weird.

Ethanol eats away all natural materials to iirc. So natural rubber fuel lines and gaskets will be destroyed. Everything needs to a synthetic and such. I think the problem a lot of older vehicals have, is they didn't have to worry about the gas destroying the gaskets and rubber lines to the point of engine damage. Ethanol is pretty corrosive stuff haha.

That sounds like a great Idea with the magnets. No one puts magnets in the engine, and it does seem like having them would help, even if the actual metal bits are just dust, any bit of contamination kept out of the oil flow helps.

nope, it's completely one off. here's a couple hints it's a prototype the name of the cycle has something in common with the name of our cars.

Nah, I run an old Socket 754 Single core Newcastle. right now it's overclocked a modest 100mhz from 2.2 to 2.3ghz, but It can go as high as 2.5 without much issues. I just dont' need to have it that high right now since I don't need the extra boost. as for his phenom, he actually has a manufacture only model that IS a tri-core processor. (weird I know) they actually don't sell them to the public yet, so the only way to get one is by buying a prebuilt system.

lol yeah, I know what it blew. The little fan that it has only pulls 1 amp. but like I care really, the FIRST thing I shut off when I put a computer together is AMD's Cool n Quiet because it interfere's with overclocking the system

I know what Max is trying to tell you Phil, being as I am a Max as well he's saying PUT IN THE DIFF AND POST MORE VIDS DAMNIT

exactly. Nitrous on it's own is not flammable, BUT add it TO a fire, and it supplies the fire with a MASSIVE amount of oxygen, thus AIDING in the combustion of fuel. that's how it works in a car basically Fire+Nitrous=HUMUNGO FIRE pure oxygen isn't flammable on it's own either, but add a bit of fuel and it will make the fire huge.

the problem with dells (unless they changed this) is that their motherboards/psu's are proprietary for the ATX plug. Yeah, it would've been cheaper to buy a new motherboard and swap the parts, but hell, for 590 you can't beat the rig he got.

Not to bad from what it looks like. you DO have an onboard video setup from the looks of it, so don't expect to do any high end gaming or HD videos at all (I really don't think the 6150se is up to that task) but overall, for 590 that's a nice setup.

Nah, the GPU i'm putting into it is actually a really nice GPU, and the price of a low end quad core is NOT that expensive at all, so to me it's worth it. BUT I won't be able to build the rig for quite a while, so by the time I DO get around to it, quads will probably be high end standard

Haha, man, I remember when I first saw lolrus a LONG time ago. It still makes me laugh. This one is AWESOME if you get the source

Here's what you do. Buy a new mother board, Powersupply and Case, and take all your stuff and put it in. I say a powersupply too because (I don't know if they've changed their ways yet) But their powersupplies have proprietary configurations that can damage NORMAL ATX boards. That's why I always custom build my PC's I can right now, build a VERY nice quad core AMD setup, for just a touch over 1k

I've had mine since october and I got to drive it enough to get kicked in the ass by the Z bug.

Yeah, judging from that picture, it looks like it's VERY possible for a small fire to start, combined with nitrous, leads to a very big nasty fire.

Yeah, pretty much. My dad's PSU blew out a voltage regulator on the 3.3v rail, causing it to hit spikes of over 7v. the CPU was an OLD socket A Athlon chip, so their regulators are built onto the motherboard. Well, the memory was fine (Actually I have it in my system now) but the cpu and motherboard were trashed. it got so bad that for some reason, if you simply rebooted the computer a few times, the windows OS would become corrupt and no longer boot. (but if you kept it on all the time it would keep working, weird eh?) I decided to basically scrap it and build him a decent socket 754 2ghz sempron system (which was way better than the old setup) Computers are pretty sensitive to voltage spikes. I wonder if it's possible that his PSU is failing and blew out the regulator circuits. I learned something interesting on my computer though. if the CPU fan isn't plugged in all the way, it shorts out a circuit, causing a tiny resistor to glow red hot. It happened when I first put it together. that was a bit over a year ago. I'm going to guess it was the fan controller circuit since it never throttles the fan down like it's supposed to. sorry for the rambling. Anyways, your computer is toast, it's time to give it the ol' heave ho and build yourself a new rig.

Those look like pine needles. Those poor cars are going to DIE....if they were left out to freeze in the snow, it means they're also left out to drown in the rain, and bake in the sun.

Is it possible for a diff to spring a leak and seize a bearing or something? And geeze, that's crazy haha. Too bad it didn't do something cool like grenade, then you could have some pretty wicked carnage pictures/videos
