  1. I don't think your photo hosting place supports hot linking. I suggest photobucket, it's free.
  2. I think it looks kinda cool on a zx. It looks sponged Wheels look pretty good too.
  3. It made me laugh when that guy started bashing braap b/c it said he was a "Banned Administrator". He thought it was serious
  4. That's alot of decent looking bodywork to make something look like crap, lol.
  5. They look good that way, matches your tint nicely. Now get a body kit
  6. Can we see some pictures of your car.... I want to see these rims.
  7. Stuff like rear disk brake adapters, dizzy block off plates... all I can think of right now.
  8. Those are going to look SOOOOOO much better than slash tips. Very nice!
  9. I started out trying to accomplish this mod with a spare linkage assembly I had laying around, but it didn't work out. The assembly was for a 240z, so was too long to fit on my 260z arm. Also, I think I moved the arm too much from the stock location, it just didn't seem to work right at that extreme of an angle. So, while I had it apart noticed that the pedal wasn't using full travel to begin with, so I dremeled the end off one arm to make it shorter and now have full travel. On top of that I cleaned and lubed up all the ball joints (which were VERY sticky). It's not perfect, there's still a little jerk at the onset of throttle, but it's MUCH better. It's actually drivable without focusing all my energy into the pedal. I think it'll be alot more enjoyable to drive now.
  10. That's pretty much what I thought, good deal. Thanks again for heading this up.
  11. His boost and bov sounds are pretty impressive, haha I lol'd at the VTEC flash
  12. It's a good start, but it looks too big and heavy... a nasty trend with concepts lately.
  13. First of all.... 6spd auto? Don't think so. Second, yes a plate would have to be made if that was the only problem. It's pretty likely that the input AND output shafts are different sizes and or spline counts.
  14. Just out of curiosity, why isn't he shipping it directly to SSAC? Do you need to inspect/catalog/fix it first?
  15. That's kinda what I thought you had said once before.... That's why I was confused
  16. First i've heard of that... is this a one off casting, or planning on selling per-order at some point?
  17. Thanks to a neighbor and his welder, the crossmember is now welded up, the tranny is mounted in the car, and I took it for a drive tonight. It's better than I could have dreamed. Shifting is so smooth, 5th is geared nice and low, the new throwout bearing is silk... Only problem is that my speedo doesn't work again. I'll figure that out later though, I have a pretty good idea what the problem is.
  18. It can be done, but I think it's more fun to leave it up to the whim of the admins
  19. Got my driveshaft back today, and tonight we mounted the tranny back in the car. Unfortunately, I'm an idiot and didn't have the driveshaft shortened enough. It ended up 1/2" too long. Luckily I was able to dremel the collar off and now it clears and is all bolted up. Tomorrow I'll get the crossmember welded up and take it for a drive!
  20. It worked, thank god. Hopefully there are no ill-effects of removing that collar. So, for further reference: If you have the longer 750mm driveshaft, SHORTEN IT 50mm or 2 inches If you have the shorter 700mm driveshaft, IT WILL FIT
  21. Didn't work. I lack about 1/2". I think I'm just going to cut the collar off, hopefully that'll give me enough room and not cause any problems.
  22. I dunno, maybe not the quantity of the "popular" cars, but just look at how many new young members we get frequently. Interest is growing in our S30s. They'd turn a profit for sure, maybe slowly, but surely.
  23. I don't know what it is, but the police around here make me nervous. It's not that I'm constantly breaking the law (speeding) and worried about getting caught... I'll be doing the speed limit and see a cop hiding on a side road and I'll tense up like I'm about to be pulled over. Conditioned response? What really bugs me is when you're not doing anything wrong, and they follow you for no apparent reason. Made a walmart trip last night around 10:30PM, one was hiding in my subdivision and followed me all the way to the highway onramp. I'm all about mutual respect, but it seems a little one sided sometimes. I think all the crap cops have to deal with regularly make them weary of the general public.
  24. Well the machining is done, the tranny is together, and I'm picking up my driveshaft later today. After reading some stuff on this thread and not thinking about the difference between the long (750mm) and short (700mm) driveshafts, I had them shorten my long one 1.5" (they didn't know how much 50mm was, lol). I remember someone here saying they shortened theirs 3/4", and someone else 50mm, so I figured 1.5" would be fine (not reading that they STARTED with a short one for the 3/4", and a long one for 50mm). Oops. So, my driveshaft will be just short of 712mm. I sure hope that will fit. Worse comes to worse I guess I can cut down the yoke a little, but I REALLY don't want to do that after them balancing the thing.
