aww man im sorry John! thanks for updating this thread as you go! always fun and informative to read the diagnosis and analysis

thanks gnosez!

ive always hated lambo doors.. but my buddy had one in his civic.. and its actually kinda neat.. its rather unique.. and was cool. I would never buy one let alone install it on my car. but hey its kinda cool on Honda's

thats a damn nice car Yasin!

superb Gabe! love it

hey guys.. recently my speedometer stoppepd workin on my '78 280z.. after checking the connection on the transmission and the speedometer guage everything is hooked up properly. I am assuming maybe the speedometer cog went out, or the transmission is not spinning the speedo cable. The speedo and the odometer are not functioning which is what gives me the impression the cable is not rotating. The odometer is a gear reduction and the speedometer needle/display is seperate from the gear reduction.. thats why I came to this conclusion. Anyway!! i know people mention diff teeth speedo cogs and diff colors.. but where do you buy them?!

2 questions.. do you re-use the stock slave cylinder for the clutch?! and is it possible to use the stock mechanical speedometer?! or am I stuck buying a new electronic speedo?!

Austin.. I know this was mentioned in Garrett's thread but I only found that I would need an electronic speedometer with the Z32 transmission. Any one know if the stock unit can be retained?

Home Depot... $19.99 for 75 min. Ive done it several several times

i get about 14mpg on the track.. and about 18mpg in heavy denver traffic and lots of spurts for fun lol

damn im impressed with all this research! tell me your considering a small production run?! excellent use of diverters and the bumps to stop the swirl. You may also consider using various sizes and angles of airfoils to manipulate the velocity and pressure in problem spots

dl'd it? ive been unable to find it from the norm. source.. but we shouldnt talk about that.

I normally don't blabber about movies... but this movie is effn amazing... I highly suggest you watch it! http://www.cloverfieldmovie.com/ preview here if you havent seen previews

Is there anything you don't have Austin?! i envy you in every way imaginable

how come I cant find any?! maybe im just using the denver craigslist... its my morning routine to find a cheap Z lol. I should try co springs too lol

Home Depot sells the foam in "Building Materials" usually on the back wall.. its for wall/housing sound insulation

Well.. first off I am an avid racing simulator addict and ive been playing for years and years... Favorite simulator to date is still Forza and TOCA Race Driver however.. I recently bought an XBOX 360 and purchased both Forza Motorsport 2 and Project Gotham 4.. Forza 2 is amazing.. PGR 4 is amazing but I noticed one thing about Forza.. Forza is "too" realistic.. from my experience on the track then on the video game the physics are a bit exaggerated and dramatic understeer and oversteer are everywhere PGR4 has incredible graphics, terrain and weather variations and a real life sensation of driving.. but the physics are toned down too far, I can whip around a corner going 140mph and im not over or understeering.. too arcadish. One example is with the Maserati MC12 in Forza 2 I can do a full lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in about 6:30. Now the same track and the same car in PGR 4 I can do about a 5:40... BIG difference in times.. What are your guys opinions on the games?!

No no I meant taper.... the Taper goes from 2.5" OD on the bell mouth of the velocity stack, then 2" OD on the base of the velocity stack down the runners to the end of the throttle body where its about 1.7" OD.

Good call guys! You are correct! My mistake! Apparently I need to do some more research! lol Im getting close to having some money to buy the aluminum bends for now.. I will calculate final measurements soon. I don't know how taper affects the equation though.. hmm

The calculation is from the Center of the Intake Valve to the Throttle body.. I dont believe the length from the plenum to the throttle body would make much of a difference.. thats like extending my intercooler piping a few feet longer

Thanks Austin.. after I shoot over some cash for the adapter =) I will be buying some proper aluminum bends.. and i'll be trying out my aluminum "MIG" setup. Ohh such a gamble.

I believe Thumper and Loose Screws had the fastest times on a stock T3. and of course Jersey (you!)

I think everyone put me to shame. LoL.. see what happens when you rush things?! ugh

I am about to convert my welder to weld aluminum.. I have found that Lincoln Electric recommends a new aluminum welding kit, which is basically a new liner, new "roller" as I call it that feeds the aluminum and a spool of aluminum. I also did alot of research on a spool gun. Has anyone had any success with the new liner and feed? or would you recommend a spool gun?! Also I did some research on "Spray Arc" versus "Pulse arc" and I was not able to find any information what my welder produces. Since I have a CV "constant voltage" machine, I assumed my welder is a Spray Arc. Can I convert a Spray arc to a Pulse arc? or do I have to buy a Pulse Arc machine?! Thanks guys! I know its a dead thread and lots of questions but my searching ability and all this reading brought me to a dead end.
