I haven't had much interest in following the Toyota/Subaru new sports car saga, or seen many pics, but I came across this article reading the NZ news online here in China. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/news/article.cfm?c_id=9&objectid=10810701 I like the look of the car pictured. How do they stack up against the newer Z's? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/news/article.cfm?c_id=9&objectid=10810701

But remember the high pressure rating on the Scuba tanks requires more strenuous checks, if a full 80CF goes out, that is the same power as two hand grenades. A Larger, lower pressure tank may knock you off your feet if it goes, but it's much less likely to kill you. On the other hand, maintained steel 72's are nearly indestructable, much to be preferred over Ali 80's which have a finite working life due to brittleness from expansion and contraction.

Shorter hose does the same as a shorter muffler. Less loss due to Boyles Law... And no, the law has nothing to do with a dumpy british housewife...

The filipinos were probably in a hurry to get bak to their hot filipino chicks, while the frenchies were happy for a reason to stay away from their nagging fat sagging wives... I liked the filipino girls I met while in Cebu

I'm waiting for another teacher to sent me two exams... I need to format them from plain sheets with questions to printable section headed exams, add more questions from my classes to them, and proof them before submitting to the head teacher and notifying the dean.

Hello Horse? I'm not quite THAT well hung... Or do you mean one of the Other THREE extra meanings of Ma? Bloody tones, a 1 in 4 chance of hitting the right tone means a 3 to 1 chance of getting it Right! plus each word has something like 20 different pictures that it could be written as!

Nah, Perth yes, but not Sydney... But if it's aussie and it's foreplay, it probably involves a sheep! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Ohhh! Ohhhh! Ohhhh....

But you're not exactly Normal you know

I'm online while I wait for a student to arrive for extra tuition. A young sexy female student, in a culture with no "don't date the teacher" hangups... YES!!! unfortunately she has a boyfriend

Similar insurances in NZ, but it is only for the term of the first owner, so fine if you KEEP your car for 30 years it's going to be a nice new car, but as soon as you trade up you'll need a new policy for the new car. The companies watch the statistics, which are a person/family in a position to buy a new car vs a used car generally keep it for between 3 and 5 years before trading up to another new car. So they don't expect to replace many 12 year old cars... In the end the risks and statistics say it's not real different than the normal policy risks. It's unlikely to be the case of writing off an old $2000 beater and getting given the keys to a $40,000 new car, more likely writing off a $30,000 car and getting the keys to a $40,000 car. I'd still just stick with Agreed Value policies. Write off the car and get an agreed amount of cash. Simple check, "is it fixable? Yes, Fix it, No, Here's your cash. No arguing about the fact the "equivalent" car is a different colour, automatic instead of your manual, single CD instead of 5 disc changer... or the cash the want to give you under the replacement value policy is for a bone stock blue booker value, not your slammed, chromed, bagged, 30" wheelied Stancemobile with a custom paint job... Seen it all happen before, much easier having a simple, agreed amount of cold hard cash handed over. Just up the policy value each time you bolt on another breakable, expensive, go-faster piece of bling.

Surely if you buy something like an insurance policy, before they can cancel it they HAVE to notify you? that is the law in NZ, and in the more litigious environment of the US of A I'm SURE the company would have an enormous Cover Your Ass department advising the decision makers... I find it hard to believe the CYA dept would allow the company to cancel your paid-for policy without telling you.

Dang! My Google-fu failed me. I have seen in the past a build site for a Cosworth 4cyl engine powered 924, which is not all THAT different than the 944. but instead of using the porsche rear he chopped the tunnel to hold the gearbox from the Cosworth and fitted a different (jag?) rear diff to replace the transaxle.

If you do a turbo, why not run the normal exhaust out the rear, and the wastegate out the fender header?

Right at the back of the bonnet by the cowl is a high pressure area, so the ducting would be In from the bonnet and out sharks gills on the flanks.

With the room BEHIND the motor, why not put it THERE and duct it out through shark gill slots between the front wheel wells and the door?

Hold on and I'll be around your place shortly with my wire restraints, rusty knives, battery acid, electrodes and thumbscrews....

I like the ferrari valve covers it's not actually a ferrari motor tho is it?

The on;y answer is another question... How much money do you have to spend? The only replacement for cubic inches is cubic dollars.

Have you tried www.zclub.org.nz ? There are a few with parts stashes on there and they are NZ too.

RD bottom end uses the same bolt pattern as the RB... maybe take it to a mate with an RB engine and see if it matches up? As per a post above about the dent being right for a R31, the R31 skyline used the same underpinnings as the C32 Laurel, and the C32 started life with a the LD28 and was given the RD28 as a mid life facelift model change, I believe the R31 had an RD28 option.

RD28?

try skylinesdownunder

they did, it was called the 432Z

"Model Restrictions: Gasket is for non-turbo applications only, and NOT for use with L-6 Turbo Heads (P90, P90A) as some oil passages would be blocked." Read it... the later turbo blocks are laid out a bit different.

Extrudabody now have LS1/2 ITBs with velocity stacks...
