Welcome to the board himself. This post should belong in the Engine Components and the "Other EMS" or "Megasquirt" forum.. Both MS and SDS is standalone so it replaces the cars ECU. MS is cheap SDS is a bit steeper in price. I am using Megasquirt on my 280Z with a Holset turbo and I have been running 18psi for sometime now. Tuning is fun and easy.. alot of people are running SDS and absolutly love it and its exactly what SDS stands for. SIMPLE. it can be installed and running in a day, while Megasquirt takes some fine tuning and getting it perfect. I vote Megasquirt. but SDS vote SDS.

aid dam?! come on bobby wake up MSA was nice.. (BTW i get a 10% off discount from MSA if you want me to order it)

thanks for the kind words titanium Z! couldnt of done it without your ingenious works!

I will be using a exterior caulking/sealant with some "extreme temperature" ducting tape. The tape is aluminum with a strong adhesive and should withstand cold and hot temperatures and is waterproof! Everything I am using is from Home Depot.. since I work there I have alot of spare time to wonder around and look at the product haha So far this has cost me $22. $12 for a 4x8 sheet of sheet metal (Home Depot offers 3 types. Galvanized in the plumbing/ducting aisle. The steel is 26 guage for $11. Steel in the hardware department which is way overpriced. $18 and its 22 guage. The third type is 22/24 guage steel in the gutter/roofing aisle used for flashing. This was $12 and much thicker than the galvanized metal in plumbing) I used 3/16 aluminum rivets and washers =)

Good call Jon.. I was planning on finishing everything up tomarrow.. just some pics and hopefully a brief discussion on what would be the best thing to do =)

Well after looking at TitaniumZ's front end mod with decreasing the opening to the radiator and reading the data on the Aerodynamics data chart.. I decided to block off the upper grill from the bumper line to the hood.. and I also blocked off the sides of the grill so no air is wasted in the monster opening of the Z's mouth. I just welded on some sheet metal from Home Depot behind my grill.. and added a piece of sheet metal from the air dam to the radiator support.. and an upper piece of sheet metal from the grill, across the intercooler and to the radiator. I am just experimenting with different things right now.. yes its ugly but Function over Form. Excuse the poor quality.. i misplaced my camera.. so its camera phone time

say bye bye to that tranny soon lol

I can either run the stock wheel bearing caps.. OR i can run the center caps with NO wheel bearing cap. that makes me nervous.. so im stickn with the wheel bearing caps

Omfg

i agree it looks good on a ZX lol

lol NOOO the HY35W has plenty of ommph. trust me LoL if Justin see's over 500rwhp then he should change the turbo.

Ill buy the broken BRE spook. I love fixin fiberglass

LoL. a whale tail belongs on a Porsche.. ruins the lines of the Z =)

MS1 is perfectly fine for what you want. my 2.2pcb board and MS1 even covers everything that you want. If you want extra features.. be sure to get Megasquirt n Spark extra.

i just wish the whale tail wasnt so damn ugly

I say Miata. they are sooo much fun to drive.

i sold em on ebay for around $500 a few months ago

I purchased those iron cross wheels from a buddy on ClassicZcars.com He spend ALOT of time on those babies

awsome Tim! now.. being a 280z owner.. I used to like the bumpers when they were on the car.. but when I removed em I fell in love with the no bumper or 240z bumper look. why are yours still on?

do the 200sx calipers have a adjustable or removable e-brake arm?! Mine have fixed arms and hit my brakes lines and severed them in half

LoL thanks Mike.. It's just a major pain to maintain.. takes all my free time and spare cash.. LoL Thank you for your opinions guys! I really appreciate it!

bumpidty bump for what?! LoL I'm definatly running 15x8's all around and 205's up front.. no crazy stretching

Look back on the results thread.. the rear diffuser and underbody enhancements were considered a waste of time, when there is so much to modify on the body of the car. As Mike emphasized time and time again, the total package and combination of aerodynamic mods were the key to improving the Z's aerodynamics.

Well I have one more year of college left then off to the real world.. LoL Having my Z as a daily driver sucks to be quite honest.. too hard to keep up with between school and work... however I will keep the Z and prep it for track use only.. but untill then... I am looking for a nice daily driver.. What dependable daily driver would be good for hauling stuff around and can tow the Z (on a trailer) that is under $8,000 and gets good MPG?! I know tough decision... I was thinking of a Subaru Forester, Nissan Xterra or some small truck. Can anyone share their experience with a small SUV or truck that is affordable to maintain and can haul a Z around?

wow sweet man!! you rock!
