Also enjoied seeing you. Good luck at NCSU. With what I have seen of your car in progress, I'm sure you can do anything you set your mind to. Mechanical engineering looks right up your alley.

LMAO A thong would truly be an awe inspiring sight. THe show was OK. Not great from my perspective but OK.. Only 3 or 4 first gen cars there, all stock very nice cars. Mostly 350's there lambo doors, big stereos, etc. There was one 350 there with a twin turbo set up and a dyno sheet that peaked at 535 hp. Very impressive. I would have like it better if I had a car in the show. Saw 240hoke from here. We both had on the hybridZ shirt. You can tell a hybridZ guy at the show, he has grease on his hands and on his favorite T shirt from trying to get the car ready for the show but ends up just coming to look.

Congrats Dale. Looks great.

Probably red. I'll have it painted after I have ran it a couple of times. JT, how was the beach? DId your wife enjoy the speedo?

Mine is hooked straight to the VSS with out any problems. 93 lt-1. Interesting post, and good info.

Mike, The advantages of being self employed have for me, out weighed working for someone else. I would love to be able to be self employed and not have any one else on the payroll but that would not work in my situation. If you know what you are doing, and I'm sure you do, give it a try for a year or two. Sounds like you could always go back to a company if it does not work out. If you stay where you are, In 5 years you will be asking what if.

try these guys. I have done business in the past with them and they are very good to work with. http://www.zbarn.com/

either buy used fenders or new ones from a nissan dealer. I have tried the aftermarket junk and it will not line up properly. Others have posted the same results here as well.

Make sure you positive battery cable is not touching where the yellow and black wire is supposed to fo. If this is OK then it sounds like you fried the solenoid.

great job. enjoy that first real drive.

New pic. Went by the body shop and it looks like it will be ready next week. they really did a better job than i would have thought.

The length of time the accusump can supply pressure was the reason I'm going with a dry sump system on my ls1

Steve, that is great info. Thanks for posting.

FWIW, I'm dipping in the enclosed trailer fund to do this on my ls1 track car. http://www.drysump.com/pan1d.htm This system uses the stock oil pump for pressure. This system uses a special fitting that supplies the pump with oil from the tank. The belt driven pump is for scavenge only. List of customers is impressive and I've spoken with Gary and was sold.

The first time i did the Q 45 diff, I spent about 8 months making mounts until I found one that looked like it would work, making adaptors, having axels made, etc, etc. Lots of trial and error fitting. Finally got everything in the car and bolted up and went for a drive. About a quarter mile from home I hear this whine. Forgot to put oil in the diff. What a dumb ***.

Owen, My mounting brackets look like the ones pictured, same shape anyway. Uses custom drilled hat and other componets that I can't remember right now. Mark

I've got the Z32 stuff front and rear on my 72 Z. Very good braking system. I can beat on it all day at the track and it works very well. At the time I did it there were not the options for this car that there are now. I'm doing another car and I'll use a different system this time. Less expensive than the Z32 system and "should" be even better.

Sweet!
