at my work we deal with Town Center Nissan, who is getting 4 GT-Rs...two are sold, the other two are showroom... needless to say, in early July when they arrive, we get to be there at night when they come in and they are selling them for WAY more than MSRP...all because of one thing: because they can, and people WILL pay i forgot how much Lee told me they are going to put them out for, but its over or around 100k$ still havent seen one in person...they had a silver one at the Z nationals i think...

hahhah and my $2000 ECU???

this picture gives me hope! my wheels and tires are a good bit thicker than these!

no its not 13 flat..it was 13.9 @ 103 mph i think....that was with my old N42 head and cam combo and low compression on one cylinder.... right now ive got a good block @ 240psi across the board, a shaved P90 head (2.5mm) and a stock cam and its decently faster....all i need now is a good camshaft, and i bet i could be in the mid-low 13's....but ive got a custom intakemanifold by Lonewolf (spork) and SDS fuel managment... when i took the head to get shaved, i said 2mm which was a mistake...it had allready been milled .5mm, so now ive got to turn my timing down as i have way to much compression...i need to get a thicker headgasket, or stack two stock ones like norm did.... i cant get more than 29degrees timing with pinging to hell

whats wrong with being a battleship like i said...the guys at MSA said if i dont like the way they look, then i can ship them back....no charge for restocking or anything... so when they get there friday, i think im going to order them... i just wish people had pictures of STOCK Zcars with the ZG flares...

hahahahah touche' my friend... dont tell me that now...im 4 beers down and counting, you might give me ideas ;- 0

im running: tokico struts MSA springs poly bushings front rear sways front rear strut towers 240z upper strut isolators and the sport max wheels 225-50-16 Kuhmo escta MX with that combo, they rub like hell the side walls on the fronts and a little bit on the back.

his rear wheel!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAAH i meant tire

you work for a parts store? we stopped carrying gates and switched over to dayco (kinda a bad idea) but im curious about something: dayco's prices for tranny cooler hoses is more expensive per foot (our cost) than F.I. hose is..... i trust you've seen the difference between the two...on dayco, all it is is the lining that the hose has...looks like the tranny one is green (synthetic?) and the FI hose is white (cloth?) i wonder what is the difference? fuel eats through rubber quicker than oil does....hmmmm either way, i'd use a hose that's used for oil....not fuel....only beacuse of the name

ive allready got one Just Kidding!

if i installed the flares, i wouldnt need to roll them...id be whacking them off.... oh wait...cutting them off like i said earlier: a. i dont have a fender roller b. i think flares would look good c. all i need then is the mirrors and i have a fairlady wannabe for the amount of time it would take to find a fender roller and do it, i would much rather just purchase the flares....MSA said i could buy them, tape them up and see how it would look, and if i dont like it, send it back for a full refund... besides, the flaring option opens up different wheel options

ok..let me rephrase... they are hitting the side wall horribly if i go over speedbumps to quick, or the car just sqats about an in in suspension travel when i drive over humps in the road.... the edges of the tires are chewed up....i could have rolled the fender, but i think this will be a nicer choice.... the sportmax's sit out further out than stock wheels due to offset...

yeah, thats kinda true actually... i found out who did it, and hes kinda a child anyways, so i just took it in stride i guess.... ohh well...

lets just say theres going to be an add in "craigs list personals" for him with his cell phone hehhe m4m hah! mowowahahahaha...now thats evil

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/627178349.html *sigh* i guess the other night when i was in my hiney keg i got a DUI and then put my car up for sale for a very low price.... needless to say, when i got home, i had like 4 voicemails and people were like "dude, i want to come take a look, when can i come down" i was like, "wha?" then it donned on my that my friends like having some fun....nice little april fools joke.... i mean, they could have at least asked 11k for it, then i might be interested they could have updated the pics too..my grille is black and ive got the vortex generators

jnjdragracings car i think....maybe not... kinda looks and sounds like it though...

its rubbing becuase of the sport max wheels...and it rubs everywhere... if you dont lower the car, the sportmax's are fine...but mines lowered

i think im going to go ahead and get them...they are only $190 something + shipping..... maybe i can find them on craigslist or something.... hmmmmm

yeah, percision makes a non-hollow one that is still greasable...the nipple is inside one of the end caps with the needle bearings.... they are a little more expensive, but they are better...they end in P/N G... i think 187s are Z car ones, im not 100% sure...and the "nice stronger ones" are 187G with the greaseable end caps..

you know, somwhere ive seen that car.....hmmmm are those stock offset wheels that are 8in dia? iff so than i might just go ahead and do this...becuase that donenst look half that bad, plus my cars lowered , and it looks like that ones isnt.... hmmmmm

the pictures above me = wow. ive NEVER seen a shaft broken/twisted like that... touche' my friend, you have a fast car!

probblaly already said, but ill add some info... lets see...ive broken about 4 pairs of halfshafts in my car...thats right....8 ujoints let go... some at 40mph, some at 0 doing burnouts.... the 40mph ones bent up the lower control arms a little bit, but nothing that id worry about....just the inner lip where the rear sway bar bolts too...but its a loud, MASSIVE clunking noise.... never had one let go at highway speed.... funny thing is, some were old shafts, two were rebuilt with Spicer joints.... the ones i have now are rebuilt with new grease everywhere and Percision ujoints....

yeah, the precision ones i had to stretch out over and over, apply silicone to them...let them sit...evetything.. after 2 years, they have finally gotten right... though my floor mats are wet because of the stupid windshield seal is too short.... *sigh* oh well

get a long tube- like a floor jack handle- have someone hold it on the fins...then whack with a hammer really hard...turn it over and over to get it even and it will pop off..... and make sure the ebrake is off
