two40

and Wraith also Running on Empty which is an old Australian movie with some tough old school cars

sorry but no matter how lame it might be i'm still grateful they're making car movies so i'll support it and pay my theater tickets

my site got hacked and they deleted all the files. will be back soon though

hi mick just a note on your paragraph. yes that is true to a certain extent but rules are rules and engineers will not put their license on the line for some kid. also, insurance will look into the legality of the car and will not pay out if they find something dodgy. but they will take your money in the meantime in nsw, as has been said, you can't convert a 240 with anything larger than a 305 and when i was looking into it it was hard for me to get a 302 approved. i managed to find a 240 with an engineers report prior to 1994 when these rules came out so i was lucky. it is different in other states so don't bother asking anyone here, call your local roads authority. even if you do find some info here there is a chance that it could be outdated. good luck

plenty more Z content to come in future videos. i have a flat at the moment so no filming for the time being. the wheels are Simmons, a local company makes them. http://www.simmonswheel.com.au/range.html# cheers

Hehe, I didn’t just hear it. It’s on my iPod and it came up on Tuesday after a long long time. I’ve got heaps of songs so it takes a while for some of them to come around again seeing as I only listen to them in shuffle mode. cheers

I’ve just completed another video. It’s a montage of some footage I’ve taken recently. Hope you guys enjoy it and let me know what you like and dislike about it. *link down* cheers

nice pressy wrx is the only one i can pick out.

i've posted several, here is another one for you all. *link dead*

i've emailed Unlimited for some pics but no reply thus far.

Does anyone have a picture of the Unlimited Products 3 1/2" hoods? I'm thinking of getting one but would love to see it first.

thanks. found this last night actually. http://www.up22.com/falcongto.htm#Datsun%20Z anyone have a pic of their 3 1/2" hoods? do they fit well? worth the money? cheers

thanks. i have seen it and it's just too high. a 3" is as high as i would go. i'm getting desperate for one as well. my filter is severely chocked and my engine builder had to use a recessed mount with a half inch rise on the carby. i'd love to set it up higher with some better air flow.

still looking (rather, just started again) for a 2" or 3" cowl with the same clearance at the radiator as the stock hoods. anything new out there? cheers

v80z, comp isn't that high for now, just going to street it for a while until i can afford cage and wheel/suspension setup for the strip. in sydney we just got a 100 octane fuel so i'm using that. ZROSSA, headers are custom built. we got a touch over 28 inches out of them. i even used a c4 trans to give us a bit more length and ground clearance.

thanks all. i'm really happy with her after last nights drive. if truth be told i've been waiting for this for 3 years!!! ever since i've bought this car it's been one problem or another and it's finally coming all together so i'm over the moon. on the engine dyno we made a touch over 500 horses and just over 490 tq. at around 4000 rpm it's making 435 tq and the hp peaks at 6200rpm. very responsive engine, crisp and just pulls. i'm honestly too scared to put my fooot down but i'll get used to it in no time definately needs some baggy street slick. its just a shame it's not 5 stud but i'm sure i'll come across some half decent wheels if i look around. as for specs, she's a bit of a mongrel. chev engine, ford trans and a nissan dif. go figure. from the rear we've got a 3.5 R200 with cv's, a c4 trans, 9.5" 4,400 converter, scat crank, crower solid cam, manley flat pistons, ported to 383, a victor jr manifold and alloy heads, a race demon 775 carby and all the other best gear i could afford. seriously, after paying $300 for a set of gaskets, i'll never look at a woman and criticise her for buying expensive shoes. anyway, i'm going to give her a wash right about now.

Congratulations!!

It's been six months without my Z. A long six months. The other day we started her up for the first time and I took a short clip. Hearing her start up made me forget the six months 10mb clip - click on the disk to view or save it

Looks like I have a bit of reading to do. Thanks

I'm a bit curious about some figures and was hoping you guys can shed some light on them. It just seems wrong to me when I apply the formulas found here http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=75985 Fresh chev making around 490hp on an engine dyno and on average 450 torque. The torque peeks at 480. What is going on? Is something holding the hp back?

I'm coming up to 3 years with my car and I have yet to find a suitable name for her. It's frustrating

This is one of the most impressive burnout I have seen for a while. It's a shot clip, 1.92mb. Just click on the floppy disk to download it http://www.streetrats.net/download.php?view.21 If anyone has links to impressive burnouts such as this one please send them my way. Thanks

congratulations and all the best to the both of you

my feature of the powercruise twin burnouts is just about finished. i have done 95% of it and now i'm just fine tuning the sound. i should be ready to release the final vid by the end of tonight. i was hoping i could get some feedback in the meantime. in the folder below you will find two versions. the lo-res is a draft before the hi-res one but not that different really. the hi-res is the most up to date and obviously views better. i'd recommend downloading that one. http://www.filefarmer.com/switch/video/ 7:12 running time lo-res 444x250x126x6.8mb hi-res 888x500x512x27.6mb cheers

hmm, i thought without the speed effects it's kinda plain and booring. obviously i won't be doing it for all the burnouts but i can't just show burnouts. it'll be booring. no i own a red one with an 8. i have a gallery here.
