    280z - Moonroof Delete

    I bought a roof for $100 delivered to me today!! I found it from a local guy who titles his business as Datsunofthebeach.. what a deal.

     

     

    After looking at this thread... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/66240-successful-roof-re-skin-s30/page__p__621574__fromsearch__1entry621574 I realize they drilled the spot welds out... but after grinding with a wire wheel, there are several areas that I dont see the spot welds.. this is going to be tough.

    Discovery Channels "HD Theater" now airs all rounds of the World Rally Championship.. if you have comcast or dish network you should be able to get the channel. This started last year around November.

    Isn't it important in teaching to get the students to think about the problem and come up with a solution? Posting a picture here doesn't "teach" anything. No learning involved, its just "monkey-see, monkey-do." Might as well just put it in a spoon and stick it in your mouth.

     

    Again, take the time and look at the areas on your car in the list I posted above and THINK about the loads involved.

     

     

    John,

    Teaching in school requires 2 basic things.. a professional who has the knowledge in the material being taught and a professional who can properly explain the material in a way that everyone can understand. An effective text book will have a textual description followed by some sort of graphic. (Picture, diagram, chart, graph, etc)Visually this is how people learn. Its a very effective way of observing and understanding the information.

     

    After looking at the pictures posted in this forum, I have learned a wealth of information that quite frankly, I wouldn't have been able to without the use of an excellent visual. Imagination is something that can be poorly misinterpreted.

    Thrust augmentor on a automotive exhaust

    in Exhaust

    Posted · Edited by PrOxLaMuS©

    For those of you who don't know what a thrust augmenter is .. here is a quick diagram.

    Thrust augmenters are commonly used on jet engines and pulse jets primarily to provide additional thrust. I however am thinking a little bit outside the box here, primarily to help evacuate the exhaust and reduce the overall pressure in the exhaust system.

     

    Imagine a thrust augmenter on the tip of an exhaust system, something small that can literally bolt on... it would be interesting to see if adding one would

    1) reduce the overall pressure in the exhaust system

    2) have any beneficial gains (like running an open exhaust)

     

     

    or am I dumb

     

    On a side note, im not looking to create extra thrust .. any thrust if produced would be so minimal it might be enough to pull 3 bumble bees on a matchbook sled tied to fishing string.

    If only... I've surrendered to the fact that a build of this level is only possible with one key factor, unobtainable to me. $. - Something that I think even Blaktout would attest to, as he'd pretty candid on the chunks of change he's put into the project! But, with $$$ invested, attention to detail, and picking the right people to do the work, at least we have an example of what's really possible!

     

     

    I believe if you did all the work yourself, took your time, paid attention to detail and took 4 years building the car it would seem affordable lol.

     

    having it all done by a shop at a hourly rate plus supplying the money for the parts is well.. for the wealthy =)

    l28et flywheel question.

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    The automatic transmission has a flex plate with a washer/spacer sandwiched between the engine block and the flex plate..

     

    In order to install a manual transmission, the flywheel will be bolted on the block without the spacer. Be sure to add a pilot bushing/bearing at the end of the crank since the automatics did not require one!!! =)

    What car to get?

    Hyundai's arent too bad to be honest,

     

    my dad has a Sonata, mom has a Elantra, I'm temporarily driving the other Hyundai Elantra, the only issue they have run into was bad O2 sensors on the 2004 Sonata and a faulty window motor and door lock on the rear passenger door.

     

    I love the Genesis and the new Sonata is really nice.

     

    The BMW 5 series, roughly 2005-2007ish is under 20k. Volvo has some well built cars for under 20k and who can forget.. a Infinity G37 4-door!
