How about the street to change your engine?!

everyone says SS autochrome has terrible products and cracks... yet i've only seen ONE thread on some honda forum with a cracked manifold that could of been caused by using an exhaust system with no flex pipe. I'd like to see more bad examples of SS autochrome products before people start smashing on the company.

I was looking underneath my Z today and realized that the brake lines (or fuel lines) on the 280z are bolted onto the passenger frame rail.. I'm assuming I have to completely remove these lines? or can I unbolt them and move them aside?!

ohh im getting excited! count me in as well!

Jeff.. it looks like your Trans Am doesnt have any openings for the radiator and cooling?! am I missing something?

wow. thats incredible

depending on what transmission you have on the 1975 280z... you will either have a R180 (automatic) or a R200 (manual) rear end. There is nothing different about the '75 differential except the mounting flange I believe.. which is '75 specifically. but an R200 is an R200. The problem you ran into with the flange sounds about right. the '75 diffy is a one off difference with a flange. The vibration issue may be something internally or a bad u-joint connecting the driveshaft.. but the differential itself does not have any "problems" that were manufactured in 1975~

beautiful paint!! Seems flawless!! I loovvee your Z

If I were to make my own rails... would you guys recommend using the 2x3 square tubing and keeping the rails in the box frame? Or cutting off the top to use as a cap like a C channel? [] or |_| ??

you can also use OVAL tubing to allow better clearances!!

ohh that's how you do porting!! I heard you can port your intake manifold and extrude the exhaust manifold at the same time pouring sand in the intake!! this is sooo much easier than I thought!

ive always wanted to do DIY porting but I am always afraid of ruining the valve seat

holy poop those are long runners lol and no I still have not mounted it.. been a busy boy lately

that would be the intake manifold I built in my welding class!! Those ugly black hoses are being replaced with METAL pipes now! relax!

is that a real picture in post #442 right above this? or is that a computer rendering?! Looks crazy real!

I believe wasps bite .. only bee's sting ??

umm 10 sec with a STOCK intake manifold?! come on.. look at his tires for goodness sakes...

i love that Red ZX to be honest.. I would change the wheels and exhaust.. but it looks good

the main horizontal bar/harness bar needs to be bent to allow the seats to move back if the driver is a tall person. the Jeg's kit comes with a straight bar... if you notice in 240hoke's cage and FFmarc the bar is bend to allow more room.

do those bars have any interference with the transmission or driveshaft? just curious.

Bryan when I converted my P90a head to solid lifters.. I kept the hydraulic camshaft in and did not have any luck.. it make terrible noise as the higher ramp profile on the hydraulic cam slapped into the lifters.. I spent hours adjusting the mechanical lifters and using different lash pads and never had any success... I ended up using a P90 head I had as a spare and used the mechanical lifters with a mechanical camshaft and everything worked out for me. So I don't know if using a hydraulic cam would work with mechanical lifters.. I did not have any luck with it

Hey Phil.. is the primary reason why Chris produces more power at a lower PSI due to head work and a cam upgrade?!

looks like an Altima V6 in that car.. Vq?
