  1. Did you ever get answers? I'm in the same boat with the Greddy intake. I dont want to use the stock injector portion of the manifold but I'm not seeing any alternatives. Please let me know what you ended up doing. Thanks Brad
  2. I'm going to run a Greddy intake with a single throttle body. I would like to get rid of the stock injector manifold to further clean up the intake. I cant seem to find an aftermarket manifold. I know others have plugged the coolant ports but I am hoping theres a better solution. Any recommendations? Thanks
  3. so i recently put a t28 on my sr20 det and now im am getting coolant "blow by" threw the turbo into the exhaust. should i be running a restrictor banjo bolt. if so what size? or are the seals in my turbo gone?
  4. I have an SR with a serial# of sr20232236. Can anyone tell what year it is by this number ? I searched and nothing came up. Thanks for ay help.
  5. Excelent deal,you cant go wrong with OEM .
  6. I just lucked into an ATI Super damper with approx 10k on it for $ 350.00. Also, the shop had a brand new, still half wrapped in plastic, never installed Tomei RB28. I almost soiled myself when I saw it on the stand. The guy was getting nervous because of all the finger prints I was putting on it. I was told for $ 28k I could have one too. It was glorious.
  7. I still need one too. I'll take whatever size you have.
  8. I'm trying to find the " SKYLINE GTR " badge that goes on the coil/plugs cover on an RB26. Just got the parts back from powder coat and need to finish it off. Ive searched and come up empty. Thanks in advance.
  9. Mines an 05 S2000 with Tein coilovers and a cat-back. This pic was taken prior to the suspension work.
  10. I would like to order 2 of the RTz mounts please, call me at 760 220 6145 I live in CA 92371

  11. I seem to remember a story where he broke a pinky finger and it was causing so much pain he offered to amputate it to continue racing and maintain his points standing. Dedication of a madman. RIP
  12. Top cat, Wally Gator, Snaglepuss, Lippy the lion...dont get me started.
  13. Theres no magic solution for your problem. With projects of varying complexity, comes varying turnaround times. If you made the same widget over and over, you would know how many welders it took to make X amount of parts in Y amount of time. Nearly every job is different in my shop. I maintain a set number of welders and vary the delivery times according to the present workload. Only when delivery's get unacceptable, do I bring in more help. It sounds like your company needs a person to constantly manage that aspect and hire/layoff as needed. Good luck.
  14. Yes, I was refering to carfax purchase. The car checked out fine, but the dealer was the worst ever. You can read the horror stories at http://www.dealerrater.com under Mcgee Preowned superstore. in Pembroke Mass. Our experience was very similar to these. They did everything shy of locking the showroom doors to keep us there and make the sale but we walked. Lesson learned.
  15. "looks way better" and is a much harder paint. Ive always thought the roller/rustoleum was a bad idea due to the durability issue. Can someone that has gone the roller route chime in and tell me how its holding up. Ive heard plenty of people say how well it turned out and how much money they saved but no long term reports. Your 16 yrs old, and will most likely be in this spot again in the future. I say buy an inexpensive gun and learn how to paint. Build the sheet poly booth, strap on a resporator and give it heck.
  16. Nevermind, I broke down and bought it. Car checks out, just hope the dealer does too. Thanks
  17. My son's thinking about guying a G35 and the dealer is jerking him on a CF. any help is appreciated. vin JNKCV54E33M224165 Thanks Brad
  18. That's GNOZE's car and 240z8, you have a good eye. John's car is professional head to toe.
  19. If your only welding steel 18 to 7 ga, then a decent mig is all you need. But, sure as shiz, theres going to be times when you need the tig for stainless or aluminum. Does the Miller come with a torch and ground cable? How about some tungsten's?
  20. Thats a nice looking wheel, I hope the dish isnt too much. I found with the adapter ( maby this one bolts up like a stock wheel and this isnt an issue ) you almost need a flat wheel to maintain the proper positioning.
  21. For aggresive driving, I'd go with leather over suede. The suede will seperate from the wheel pretty fast. I had a Sparco wheel and the suede was junk after a couple trips to the Dragon ( and a couple of track days in between ). Probably wouldnt have happend with power steering, but with the force needed to turn an s30 with a 13.5" wheel , your hands will just tear it up. OR, maby the Sparco isnt as good as the price tag and reputaion indicates. I'm thinking one of those welded chain steering wheels should hold up pretty well.
