It sounds like a FLUTTER..

like a turkey call

now this is very interesting!!
thank you so much for all of that very usefull info !!
I had no idea that would make a difference...
*psst psst maybe while your car is "winterized" you can install an intercooler!*
whoo hoo!

patzky im so serious.. lol
My POH shows the Skyhawk 172N is demonstrated for 15 knot crosswinds..
anyway.. yeh the winds were at a solid 18kts but were gusting up to 30kts..
BUT i'm still pre-solo and my instructor said well you need crosswind practice.. so lets try it out.. and i'm here to take the controls if I have to....
when I touched down those 3 or 4 times i don't think the winds were actually hitting 30 knots.. but that was the last report from ATIS we got from the airport.. gusting to 30 knots..
but it was all good.. and the landings were perfecto!!
However on my checkride this past friday.. that was another story.. that was BAD.. had really bad cross winds again.. and lots of thermals above the runway.. and the checkride instructor took over since he could tell I was fighting the wind, and he tried to put her down, and it was the roughest landing I have ever felt.. and this was a pilot with 3,000 hours who "slammed" that thing on the ground..
scary time

amazing...
wait.. I am running a stock T3.. and wait.. I am running an NPR intercooler.. oh and an ACT street disc and Stage I Pressure plate.. and wait.. I am running a 3.54 open rear end!
Wow.. but the only differences is I am running a 3" open downpipe and MegaSquirt n Spark and 440cc injectors..
damnit I can do this!! I can get 12's... maybe... hehe
Amazing.. I am in shock.. LoL..
have you done any weight reduction or anything?
i think next time I go to the track, I am going to slip the clutch so I get a damn good launch.. =) PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
-
hey Jersey I have a question about your launch!
It didn't hear any tire squeel, so it sounds like you didn't simply rev it up, and drop the clutch.
Did you do a slip to build up the boost at the line? Or did you slip the clutch untill you got out of the "hole" and then fully engage the clutch??
Very interesting... i'm still amazed by this
-
ok I had to find it on another website!
That's awsome! haha
I've landed in gusting 30knot crosswinds before in a little Cessna 172N but wow!!
A few times with my intructor I have done a slip, where I slam down one rudder, and do the opposite aileron and we get to fly sideways... that's always fun..
thanks for sharing!

what brand name are those knock off's and where did ya buy em??
-
Here is one step I sort of... left out... hmm
I have MegaSquirt n Spark and 440cc injectors and the stock T3 right now.. intercooled and I have bumped it up to 11psi, but it spikes to 14psi... my question is..
is the stock '78 N/A fuel pump enough to handle the 14psi?!
I don't have a Wideband so it's hard to tell, but what experience do you guys have?!
-
amazing...
how much boost ya running?
-
i'm still lookn.. sadly.. without much luck..

hey guys... finally went ahead and installed my 240mm flywheel and clutch..
i upgraded from a 225mm to a 240mm.. there are reports saying that you NEED the shorter turbo or 2+2 throwout bearing collar...
well I got a shorter one.. and I decided to use the n/a 225mm throwout bearing collar.. for a longer "throw" so i have more clutch movement for engagement..
worked out great!!
I had to change out the clutch.. because with a 225mm N/A clutch and a modified n/a block with a turbo slapped on and other goodies.. it slipped.. BAD.. i mean.. it slipped at 2 psi over 3,000 RPM in any gear.. esshkk
New pedal is firm.. I have to get used to it.. but I love it!
This is what happens when you install a throwout bearing backwards
This is what I used to hold the flywheel still so I can torque it to specs... 100 ft/lb on the flywheel and 30 ft/lb for the pressure plate.. this is an old CLOTHES HANGER.. bent up.

Very impressive!!
Now get an intercooler and haul some ***!! hehe

1978 280Z .. im in
-
2003Z...
I use 5 on the front and 3 on the rear...
having the stiffer suspension up front, helps the car turn better I have noticed, especially under braking...
Z's love to understeer...
I tried 3 front 5 rear, and it was ok.. but the other way around was great

Would John's C/F door panels have those speaker cut outs?!
I would like some C/F that look stock and would fit a 280z..
