  1. I'd say the BW - NIssan didn't think enough of their tranny to use it in the ZXT - who are we to doubt them?

     

    I WOULD get a good shifter for it tho - to prevent overshifting into third...

     

     

    kinda what i was thinking as well. cheaper to get parts for too, shifter isn't a big deal. prolly get a hurst or b&m for it

  2. alright, since it's pretty much a given i'll blow either one up eventually. i have both a 5spd 81 zx tranny, and bw 5spd. which one would be less likely to barf. looking around 350-400 ft lbs. or around 330 rwhp. i have heard several different answers for each.

  3. the R200 is pretty much bellut roof, the suspension becomes the weak point for the heardcore drag racers well over the 400 whp mark, I ran a couple four speeds in my car but I'm not much of a drag racer and swapped to the 5 speed whil I was only making 230 whp, the important thing is what your goals, are, the mods list isn't as important and the whp and usage goals, if your not gonna be racing it then the 4 speed will last forever, if however your a drag racer it seems a lot of them give up in the mid 11 sec range, the KA and the T5 both seem to fail in this range

     

    OT

    so how much power are you putting down now? well, for the 12.60's run

  4. after seeing what was brewing in my bell housing. im going for a rebuild. looking for suggestions while it's in pieces, somethings to change out for better {if any} or if i have a 2 plus tranny or not. or a rebuild kit for that matter. one ear tranny if that helps any

  5. nope, just a half *** witty topic, the motor and tranny were pulled to do some work to em. the tranny is about dead. the cam is screwed. so im going through them both to get them back up to par {by my standards at least}

  6. if a motor is balanced internally, the external dampner/crank pulley shouldn't affect it right? just me thinking again, since im going through my motor and checking the health of it, and swapping in some big nasty go fast goodies while im at it.

     

     

    to euro dampner or not to euro damnper, that is the question

  7. i was going to do the 9000 series {black and silver jobbies} custom made by me for the car. just when ever i get around too. im going to the hidden wires {factory harness} and just an over all color matching scheme under the hood {black and silver} my artsy fartsy side is commin out

  8. alrighty kiddies,

    two choices

     

    accel

    taylor

     

    {limited on what i can get here at work}

    what i was going for is black and or stainless steel braided. i don't mind putting them together, since they don't make a SS kit for the lonely z car

     

    the bad thing is, only accel has the you do it yourself kit, with a male dist cap, and a 5/8 boot.

    or i can do just get some plain olf ngk's like im runnin now, but would rather go for a better wire

  9. I experienced that once with a plugged valve cover breather. If yours is a K & N it might need a cleaning.

     

     

    i can see that, after 2 years of not being cleaned and never removed. yea, sounds logical.

     

    motor is commin out next weekend so im not worried about it

  10. alright, took a small trip in the ole z today, moving it to a garage to pull the motor.

     

    sounds easy doesn't it?

     

    WRONG!

     

     

    rollin down the road, i race a friend of mine in his bolt on sti. nifty, door to door till 120. nothing big here.

     

    about 3 miles up the road, i see a squirt of oil hit the windshield.

     

    hmm, great

     

    get to where im goin, the whole passenger side of the block is covered in oil!

     

    source, valve cover gasket, BRAND NEW FELPRO 14 dollar sucker too.

     

    the car must know something i don't, hell the cork gaskets didn't leak this much, just the occasional dribble.

    oh well, time to pull it

  11. KC' date=' MO. Humid, I don't like humidity, I don't like taking a shower and never getting dry. All my family is from that area, I can't say where cause you all would dog me to heck and gone about being a real redneck and having no family tree.

    some people i know over in england and the netherlands give me crap about living in missouri, they seem to have us confused with the state above us, and below us.

  12. Silent..

     

    Fantastic work in the BG.. Nice Z to' date=' hehe. Where'd you find that mural?[/quote']

     

    dunno about nice z, but the mural was downtown kansas city, it is long gone now, it has been painted over, by the same artist that did that one in my sig.
