    :D Looks even better now James (of course ) I think it would certainly confuse a "Lab Rat " though ! :wink: lol.

    Just curious to the final "WEIGHT" of the header ?? Were you after a "Equal Length" header in the end as well,or mainly just "Packaging" where you wanted it in front of the shock tower ??

    They do have another "REAR" flare that has about 2" more than a standard ZG flare. It is available through only a few distributers in Japan.

    You'll be glad to hear I have a set being repaired somewhat for mold making in the near future ! :-D It's interesting how subtle the visual difference's are until you hold them side by side. But it looks as if it would cover a 10"-13" wheel ! :shock:

    I'll post pix when I get the chance...............Vince

    It's funny how with the CF tail panel thread going,and all the CF hood orders I've been taking via e-mail,that no one has thought maybe Vintage Tech Z might have those ?? :?:

    Well fellas,guess what ?, molds have been ready for over 4 years ! :wink: So just let me know via e-mail if your interested ....they won't be much more than MSA or Classic Datsun sells there standard ZG fiberglass ones, so let me know.......

    I also have molds for the 2-piece G-nose,but ask me about those via e-mail as well..........thanks,Vince

    as a red lobster guru myself... allow me to suggest discarded crab shells. they'll surely discourage onlookers from getting uncomforably close with the added benefit of environmental friendliness. greenpeace would be thrilled' date=' might just put you on the 2008 presidential ballot. :shock:

     

    or, you could just do that in carbon fiber and have a 5-mile long line forming to get one... i suggested it so i get a good spot in line! :twisted:[/quote']

    forget welding

    Posted

    It still ain't gona hold like welding or rivets!
    :shock:

     

    Believe it or not......If the prep is done well, the steel will rip or tear BEFORE the Dura-mixed area will even think about fractureing ! :shock:

    Quite an amazing technology :idea: .I was a non believer til I saw many junk yard proofs with my own eyes. Most large panels on cars today are built with similiar adhesives,you may not notice this because the damage is usually not where the adhesive held !! And I'm not kiddin'.

    OOOOHH ! :shock: Don't do it that way,please !! Go to your local Paint store(O'reilyl's or the like) and pick up one of their small kits for "DURA-mix" autobody epoxy ! Its waterproof and stronger than the steel it surrounds.It even deadens "tinny" sounding metal.

    As long as you have cleaned the metal bare (2-pieces),you just apply the appropriate mix to your pieces and neatly smear it into place.Once its tacked up a bit,spread a "smoothing batch" over the existing visible edges an"VOILA" ! :D

    You'll be glad you did it this way !!................Vince

    IC piping polishing question

    in Miscellaneous Tech

    Posted

    To truly polish SS to a mirror finish,it's 3 times more time consuming than Aluminum for SURE and at LEAST ! :!: I've been doing it for over 28 years (with the right eqpt. and without). The less commercial grade eqpt. you have ...the longer it takes.Period. Now thats if you have a good eye for detail.

    If you want to cheat time abit,perhaps you could mock up your pipes with tape(instead of the silicone couplers) and use a "magic marker" to make lines where you believe people won't be able to see.Then remove the pipes and begin sanding and polishing your ass off for as long as it takes.

    If you lack knowledge and Equipment, than just sand with grits of as aggresive as 220#(80-100 if worse marks or grain) in bad scratched areas then on down the grit scale (220-1500) and begin polishing with the tools you have access with(???)

    A car polisher and a 6" buff with white rouge will get it done ,but its all about technique ,time and tenacity !

    Good luck,Happy Shining !........Vince :wink:

    Do you Guys Like My New Garage???

    OH YEAH !,.....now I remember why I work so hard !!! :? I don't have HIS garage yet !! :!:

    I still would love to have the garage simmiliar and sweet.Gotta have dreams ! Right now,it's the ONLY thing keeping me going .

    Need engine bays pics with Herculiner, Rhinoliner, etc....

    I know this might come across as "ANAL",but everytime I'm going to be working in my engine bay,I use a an insulated soft (well stored) baby blanket held in place with large strong magnets (rare earth)! :shock:

    I know,I know..... :roll: seems like overkill,but when you've spent the countless hours it takes to prep,modify and prime and base/Clear that area of the car....YOU ONLY WANT TO DO IT ONCE ! :!:

    It's worked for me for years and I do it religously.I also lay a folded large towel on or near the area where I can lay (or drop) my sockets or wrenches quickly and blindly.

    RAISE THE BAR....you won't be sorry !

    Mike, ya' better pull your oil dipstick and look to see if there is any water bubbles on it !! :shock: If there is, you've blown the head gasket for certain (( OVERBOOSTER)) :? If your not going to run aset of ARP headstud kits,better keep your boost below whatever you tossed your gasket at this "go-round" !!

    If your gasket hasn't shifted or begun to degrade from the event,you may be able to re-torqe your head and continue driving for some time. :wink:

    Otherwise,your SOL :oops:

    So do the right thing and pick up a set of ARP's for the head and a good gasket.Then you can boost a little higher !

    You patient friend...........Vince :D

    Presidential debate opinions?

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    I'm not too proud to admit that Bush is possibly the worst Presidential speaker I've seen in my life time.No doubt about his inability to speak publicly as smooth as Clinton or Kerry,certainly could be viewed as a BUMBLING IDIOT. But a smooth talker does not a task finisher make.(Yoda speak)lol. My family and friends have all lost lives due to the attacks and this war,I'm as angry as the next guy........but considering I'm usually politically alienated,I have to say,I just cant find the proper REAL CHARACTER values in either candidate,but even less in Kerry's shiftiness.

    I realize Political views for some are VERY passion filled ! I'm sure rightly so in their eyes for what ever reasons too ! Perhaps expressing our opinions on this site doesent present a healthy relationship for members,unless they remember"don't hate the voter,hate the voteless"

    Presidential debate opinions?

    Posted

    I completely concur with your assessment for the most part. However when someone publicly beats the crap out of someones efforts while they themselves havent done anything but bitch,while the bashed continues to run our country,I for one ,have a hard time listening to them with an open mind. Something about "respecting effort" goes a long way for me !

    Kerry's scored points did nothing to aid in making me a believer in his abbilities as any type of "REAL" leader.In fact, I think he'd "FOLD" under the actual responsibility before it was all done with.

    I bet GW is amazed that the race is so close,considering that he doesent give a darn about how his efforts make him LOOK,as much as how he FEELS he is doing.

    I have a gut feeling Kerry cares only about making a mark like a dog that pisses on every bush and pole just to say"I did that " ! :wink:

     

    I've worked with people who behave like Kerry,they are careless with other peoples time and concern and quick to point fingers to the "nose to the grindstone" types.

    IMHO: KERRY IS VERY.........UNBELIEVABLE ! :!:

    oooooh,yes,........I DO feel better now.

    I've got wings.. how about you?

    in Body Kits & Paint

    Posted

    Hey Ed,

    Did you remove the small mount bars that the clips snapped into ? Several years back I welded the actual lids to the hood and removed all that lower hardware so as to have no interfearance or resistance pressure that might bend the new wings.

    I think it looks cool,good move ! The first stupid thing I did was drink several beers and open the hood to show a friend and rip my lips off on the wing when it came up .LOL :oops::lol:

    So watch out baby !Or you;ll have a heavy speech inpediment for a few hours ! :shock:

    T3 compressor/efficiency maps

    in Turbo / Supercharger

    Posted

    As I understand it(please correct where I might be off) When you go above the efficiency pillow or map,the level of heat and cavitation of air become inefficient from that point forward.Therefore becoming problemsome and ineffective.

    Of course your cam profile will effect at what point and RPM will make the rush to that pillow. (HUH ?) laughing.....Basically,a turbo's efficiency pillow is a view at the amount of flow in lbs. and the point at which it reaches your HP goals.
