  1. Link no worky. I think we broke their site.
  2. Oh yeah captain slow goes real fast. Seen the video before but still impressive. My favorite part was after the run he was shaking and his eyes were watering from adrenaline.
  3. That makes two of us. But aren't we all:roll:
  4. Yepo i'm coming from Houston going I-10. I am leaving early to mid friday since I would rather be there friday night and then relax all saturday. I will be driving my 350z with Olie05 as a passenger. Let me know if you want to meet up.
  5. I agree. I was thinking it would be a nice movie to watch waste an hour and half, but by the end of the movie I was a very pleased watcher.
  6. I bet it feels good having traction in second gear again:icon54: Are you planning on running it at the track anytime soon?
  7. My car to weight at least 500lbs less, but still be as luxious as it is now. Not technically a single part or even possible without rebuilding the car from ground up but I still want and cannot have.
  8. Good luck Jerry and John and show them who's boss. So you can win $17000 what can you lose?
  9. If you have an aftermarket steering wheel it might not be compatible. If it is compatible or you have an oem wheel then there is a little stud sticking out of the steering hub that will hit the turn signal lever inside of the steering housing( ) Can't really describe it but basically its behind the steering wheel, so take it off and see if anything is kaputt. Good luck
  10. Soo umm Mike do you have a high res pic of your sig...
  11. Yeah but thats with drag radials. Phil is running street tires as was I when I ran the 1.9's
  12. I ran 18psi when I blew a felpro headgasket. Then upgraded to metal headgasket nothing else and ran 23psi with no problems. If tuned right the l28 can handle the boost.
  13. Yeah with a holset Z you really need to slip the clutch to get a great launch. If I dumped my clutch I would get 2.1 60 foots but when I started slipping I got it down to 1.9's My sentra I had 6yrs ago had a 4puck and from memory that thing was on/off no slipping so good luck with that.
  14. Its working. Looking good there. You loving that blow off valve ain't ya. You should do I rematch after you tune so you can see what a difference the 2psi and better tune will do.
  15. Well tonight i'm planning on going to a car meet. Its on the North Bound feeder of 249 slightly south of fm1960 you're welcome to join. Z-gad, Thanks i've read about that problem also and I'll be keeping an eye on them. They look like they have 90% tread left so we will see. Big-Phil, Wait I can't own a car good looking, quick someone get some rust colored paint so that I can make it look like my regular z's Jnj, Yepo already planning trip. Requested off of work and ordering the necessary parts so i'm not the slowest 350z there. Hopefully the, oh I have to go too training guy, will be able to make it. That way we/spectators will have a v8 vs I6 run for the best time:mrgreen: Prox, Actually now i'm rolling in month payments I was rolling in cash/debt. I'll be making a few sacrifices to afford this but in my opinion well worth it. Warren, Oops I meant SEZ#8. No SEZ in fall this year? Hey you never know about the drag radials I could put some 4 lug adapters on and......

  20. Well i've been wanting a 350z as a daily driver for quite sometime now. And for the last 3 months i've been looking intently. Finally last thursday I found the model I want for the price I want. It is an 12/02 350z touring Black with black leather seats, bose speakers, navigation system, vdc, and 18" rims. A couple of times I came close to finding the one but right at the end something would come up either wrong price, salvaged title, or not the right options. I went and drove and 2 1/2 hrs and picked her up today. This is the first car i've owned that put a smile on my face and kept it there for the entire 2hr trip home. Even my 11 second 260z that I poured so much effort into could only put a smile on my face but as soon as I hit a road trip it was uncomfortable and I was always afraid it would break down. She is stock for now but that will soon change as soon as the parts get here. Nothing serious for now just the big things that help like the intake plenum spacer, cat-delete with resonators, and a jwt pop-charger. The main reason I pushed to get her all of sudden is so I can get it ready for SEZ9 and this time show up in style instead of in umm does anybody have I spare tranny so I can swap it in the hotel parking lot and don't mind the primer:mrgreen: Here is a few quick shots I just took of her, no sun so I'll try to take some better ones in a couple days. Tomorrow she will get sythetic engine oil, tranny fluid, and diff fluid. I also have some type of wax on the steering wheel I removed alot of it but still have more to clean off.
  21. FYI with a puck clutch there is only a 50 mile break in for the pressure plate the clutch does not need to be broken in like a disc. So go forth my padawon and may the holset be with you.
  22. I just had a funny visual of Phil racing. One hand on the shifter, one hand on the camera, knee on steering wheel, shoulder holding the cell phone telling Chris to hold on, and Phil singing 'Another one bites the dust'. Nice kill now take it to the track and see what she really can do.
