  1. To be honest I think if he manufactured the carbon fiber splitter's.. the price would scare everyone away. Carbon fiber is gradually increasing in price.. and a large MULTI-LAYER panel would be really pricey. (Starting from in front of the bumper, back to the front cross member) **eBay sells 65'' L X 18'' W X .0125" carbon splitters for $150 plus $75 for shipping** Here is a general idea.. a local company has carbon fiber available for $50 per yard. that's 50" inches by 36" inches. Now one layer would be way too weak.. in fact it will flex.. ALOT. One good layer would be around $100~ish. Now imagine the epoxy, manufacturing, cutting, trimming, sanding, polishing would add more money. Now run several layers of it.. im sure you can add it up. You could probably make several aluminum units for the same price. if you like the look, maybe just cover the aluminum with carbon?
  2. Am I the only one confused?! a $7,000 + TIG welder is cheap? How cheap is cheap?!
  3. Why dont you add a quart of AUTOMATIC transmission fluid about a day or two before you change the oil.. or let it run for a while then drain the oil?! ATF cleans the engine.. acts as a detergent.
  4. check spark plug wires too.. sometimes they get in the wrong place at the wrong time
  5. I am about to purchase a set of Bad Dog frame rails.. however; I feel uncomfortable welding the new rails over the existing rails! It seems if the old rails are rusty, they will continue to rust all the way through up to the floor and beyond. Is there a process to strip the rust off the old rotten rails before you overlay the new ones? Thanks guys Ryan
  6. Anyone seen the commercial where 2 guys are walking through a parking lot.. while one is describing how much his friend will really like the car and how mint it is... as they walk up to the car they see a orange Z car with the wheels, doors and hood taken off.. the guy selling the car mentions at least they left the stereo.. lol Anyway I tried to search for the commercial but no luck. But its a cool observation.
  7. Just to clarify.. this is my setup on my laptop Windows Vista Home Premium AMD Turion 64 X2 processor 1790 MB RAM 32-bit operating system and of course I am running Megatune 2.25 =)
  8. wow.. just about 300hp at 12psi? thats impressive!! I have the same motor setup! just a bigger cam and 15psi!
  9. whoa. how did you make the plenum out of carbon fiber?! It looks like it was vacuum bagged... did you make a mold out of foam or wood and pop off the carbon after it cured?! I'm interested in the process you used for this plenum. There are so many diff processes... Ive always wondered which works the best. did you end up using 2x2?
  10. For my L28 turbo.. I ended up buying 2 180 degree U-bends... You can cut 90 degree elbows or 45's or straights and everything all right in front of you. I would buy those and some longer straights with silicone couplers and you should be good! Take a peak at some pictures of members running a RB25 and you can get a really good idea on what you need
  11. most people have an intercooler with 3" inlets and outlets.. and run 2.5" intercooler piping you can run 3" piping.. it won't hurt you. up to you
  12. I thought you need to have the surface o-ringed for a copper gasket?! or am I confusing that for a copper *head gasket* ?!
  13. whoa thats interesting.. I bought a tilton master cylinder... i wonder if mine is shorter! might explain my clutch problems! I just added a longer slave cylinder push-rod
  14. I can't really answer your question man, but I would try calling SportMax Racing (ensure wheel) and see if they can fax you a spec sheet or something! Contacting Ensure Wheel Mailing Address: Ensure Wheel 9568 Richmond Place Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Phone Numbers: Toll Free: 800-647-7462 Local: 909-980-5700 Fax: 909-980-8668
  15. i think those rear 1/4 panel vents are from a 280zx hood lol
  16. I have Megatune and VISTA.. no problems at all. not one
  17. Fenders and headlight buckets. Doors would be sweet.. but i could imagine a price of $2000 or more for doors
  18. Go to the atlantic z car website.. and save the picture/diagram. Go to Wal-Mart.com or walk into your local wal-mart and have it printed on a poster. you can get a full size poster for $15.
  19. Might I recommend a transmission jack?! Its like $50 at Harbor Freight and is excellent. Even just using it once makes it worth the money. I've used it countless times and is a stress reliever when you know you need to work on the trans.
  20. those numbers are really high. hmm. You mentioned it's a fresh rebuild w 2000 miles on it correct?
  21. Wow... i've been working at Home Depot for over 3 yrs now next to plumbing.. and I completely overlooked that. damn we sell alot of stuff
