  1. jc052685 (Jeff) is 110% right, I've been with him for many towing trips and you want to do EXACTLY what he suggested. ESPECIALLY if your towing vehicle is small. Another option to consider is load adjusting shocks - see pics. I have about 50 pairs left in stock and they do fit your Nissan Pickup. PM me for more details if you like, I will get you those shocks for less than $70 per pair, SHIPPED. =) -Igor
  2. so you backed into someone and its not your fault?

  4. Found this Sonoma while surfing for Syclone/Typhoon builds. This has got to be one of the most involved builds ever done! The amount of detail work, perfection, engineering, and.. $$$ is amazing to say the least. build pictures: http://www.sportmachines.com/gallery/Sonoma-Gt-0334 build documentary: http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18690&page=1&pp=15 some teaser pictures: how it started?
  5. Those are some very nice drawings! WOW! Inspiring!
  6. How do you change the tail light bulb if it goes out?? LOL
  7. who cares about displacement oooops I meant 'memory' if its fast? =)
  8. Your startup is very cluttered. Im also running WINDOWs XP and here is mine... FROM EXPERIENCE, my computer is very slow if I have a lot of programs in start up. Clear what you don't need. Sort your programs running like this: (by memory use) so we can see what programs are hogging it. About the desktop thing: windows constantly refreshes and reloades every item on the desktop. The less MEGABTYTES OF DATA sitting directly in your desktop you have, the faster your computer will be. (up to a point of course) If you have any big files such as folders where VIDEO or PICTURES or MUSIC are stored, move them from the desktop to somewhere else like the C: drive.. Hope this helped.

  12. Your computers specs are "perfectly OK" You DO NOT need to buy anything extra. You dont need to update the BIOS (cmon guys you know that computer will never turn on again if we send him re-flashing the BIOS) Here's a couple really really easy steps that will help. If they dont help enough THEN you can go out and spend $$$. YOU HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR A BLISTERING FAST COMPUTER, especially for loading web pages, etc. 1. clear the dektop. dont just nest files or folders. move them to C: or somewhere else. Leave as little items as possible. 2. Turn off all animations, windows visual effects. bubbly fonts, etc. To do this right click anywhere in an empty space on the desktop. select properties. select appearance. Windows classic styles always load faster. Check that you don't have any effects (unless you like them for some reason) 3. Try using Opera internet browser. Many tests have shown it kicks Internet Explorer's butt in almost EVERYTHING. It might take some getting used to but its worh it, if you need that extra speed. Pages load A LOT faster. 4. Show us what you have in the windows start up. "Start" --> run--> type in "msconfig" and open the start up tab. If you have 4, 5, or more items that is BAD news. (typicly) Hope this helped. Use at your own risk though. p.s. thx for bidding on my VLSD diff =)
  13. $400 is over twice what that car is worth. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for it.. tops.
  14. Why dont you just sand blast the back of the wheels? It will take ~10 minutes per wheel and very good (perfect) surface finish for fresh paint. If you dont have access to a sandblaster any auto-shop would probably do it for ~$10 per wheel. Way better than wire wheeling it. And of course the backs of the wheels are going to have brake dust, dirt, etc. What did you expect man?? Even though you havent posted any pictures of the SAME SIDE (lol) of the wheels to compare I dont think the company is at fault here...

  17. yeah all by hand. very dirty, tiring process. best sandpaper to use is what they call an open coat. I like 3M.. I do dry sanding not wet. The open coat clogs less and makes shine easier to bring out.
  18. spray paint clear DOES NOT WORK unfortunetly. It just puddles up and runs of like on wet glass..
  19. Overall Im happy how this set came out.. I tried some new tricks that worked really well. Before buffing I let the wheels sit in the sun for an hour to get them hot. (barely able to hold them hot) this really helped the buffing rouge disolve all the scratches etc. Is there some AFFORDABLE and do-it-yorself method of clearcoating the wheels to prevent necessary upkeep ? Does any one know? thanks in advance and enjoy the pics, Igor
