Joel that is soo sexy... I just bought a c/f hood from Austin.. and with this air dam it will look beautiful!! I can imagine what my Z will look like now.. yours is red, and mine is persimmon (red/orange) Ohh I can't wait.. Any news Paulo?

In order to take nighttime pics... you need to turn the flash OFF... keep the camera super still (ie use a tripod) .. and have a long shutter speed... the long shutter speed allows more light to enter the camera, which you give you a clear night shot I took this pic of my buddies while I was in Arlington Texas a few weeks ago

yep solder... oh DONT buy plumbers solder... buy electrical solder...

I'm running a JoeP MBC http://www.joepmbc.com/ Hmm.. how big of a hole should I drill ?

Cut, strip, twist, solder, shrink

i'll buy the Scion.. I have been lookn to buy a Scion for my daily driver

LOVE the rear end

No no... cars today don't have 100% electric brakes.. they still have hydrolic brakes with the AID of electronic solenoids etc.... IF your entire brake setup was electric, and the battery went dead, your saying push the pedal harder?? ummm.. no.. if it's electric and "throttle by wire" or simply hooked up to electrical wires to a solenoid, I don't care how hard you push, the solenoid will NOT move... it's electricity that moves the solenoid. But yes.. even a VW Passat for example has an electric e-brake and cars with ABS have .. thats right.. electric aid... So a car with NO hydrolic system, and entirely electric brakes would be awful. Magnetic brakes on the other hand ... *hmm*

haha.. damnit BRAAP... I was reading http://www.getnet.com/~bdhull/engine.html and http://www.maddyhome.com/canardpages/pages/alwick/Ej%2025%20engine.html and http://www.eggenfellneraircraft.com/ Eggenfellner has awsome packages =) I figured, hell if it's great for an airplane, it would be great for a car

with my Z Brian... I adjust it 1/4 turn at a time.. the best results I get are 8.5psi in 1st gear, 10psi in 2nd, spikes to 12psi in 3rd and settles back down to 10psi, then spikes to 12.5psi in 4th, and settles to 10psi, then 5th gear it holds 11psi. Sooo.. ball and spring setup's suck.. simple as that

Soo... I've been researching.. why hasn't anyone done a horizontal (flat) 4 motor swap? Hell 300bHP out of the box, LOW center of gravity.. and a beautiful growling sound? Imagine the room in the engine bay too!! could probably do a nice V-mount setup with the intercooler and radiator... Oh and if a H4 is too small for you.. Subaru also has a 3.0L H-6 that came in the outbacks

that fuel cell holds like 26 gallons!! it needs to be that big! Plus the rear diffuser needs to fit nicely tucked in.. no dragging on the ground

LoL.. those welds are awful.. I've only welded ONE pipe using a MIG and NO gas and it turned out better than that... that is disgusting.... they could of at least filed it down, or smoothed it

sweet!! good to hear the car is making progress!! I wish I could find a deal by the way.. where did you find the deal? newspaper? or happen to run into it locally?

I have dibs on one for a 240z or 280z! I need a airdam bad

thats what I did.. unplugged the coil and cranked it over a few times to get oil pressure

if your battery disconnects or looses charge while driving... (ie bad battery etc) well your screwed... and if the electric solenoid poops out.. well.. same idea

worst part is watching it drive away for the last time.. you kick yourself.. i've sold 2 Z's.. and each one broke my heart

that's called a MAP light.. i'm shocked you didn't know what that was.. haha.. first thing I noticed

a nice solid NPR intercooler would be better than that POS plastic piece you have.. *ugghm sorry* I set my boost controller to 16psi just to see.. and I totally forgot about my fuel pump. How much pressure should I be running with 440cc injectors at WOT??

how wide are those things?! damn

I have a 3" downpipe and a 5' foot stretch of pipe out the back of the car which dumps a little after the differential... when the internal wastegate opens I can still hear it.. you guys are crazy if you can't hear the ext. wastegate open.. and it's venting in the atmosphere...!

oh yeh I forgot I have a radiator from an automatic transmission... which is coolant on top.. and then a reservoir for an automatic oil cooler on the bottom! Since I swapped to a 5-speed.. I can use that!!! psshh whoo hooo Also the coolant will act as a heat exchange.. so it will actually cool the oil even more!

how does that BOV sound? jeesh.. looks loud with that horn

i've run 16psi on my N/A .. and I stopped to think.. ohh **** I have a n/a fuel pump.. I better back off
