oh no, i understood the difference between a full-size and a mid-size car in respect to interior dimensions. i was say in comparison to a Z, the interior is like a national park LOL

that pile of rust has an uncanny resemblance to a fairlady.....

ya, that's definitely a killer lookin' set-up.

i agree 100% with ron here. the 5-series has almost as much room, and even with the six makes plenty of power.

anyone for a group buy????? i kid, i kid

A harmonic balancer (also called crank pulley damper, torsional damper or vibration damper) is a device connected to the crankshaft of an engine to reduce torsional vibration. Every time the cylinders fire, torque is imparted to the crankshaft. The crankshaft deflects under this torque, which sets up vibrations when the torque is released. At certain engine speeds the torques imparted by the cylinders are in synch with the vibrations in the crankshaft, which results in a phenomenon called resonance. This resonance causes stress beyond what the crankshaft can withstand, resulting in crankshaft failure. To prevent this vibration, a harmonic balancer is attached to the front part of the crankshaft. The damper is composed of two elements: a mass and an energy dissipating element. The mass resists the acceleration of the vibration and the energy dissipating (rubber/clutch/fluid) element absorbs the vibrations. Over time, the energy dissipating (rubber/clutch/fluid) element can deteriorate from age, heat, cold, or exposure to oil or chemicals. Unless rebuilt or replaced, this can cause the crankshaft to develop cracks, resulting in crankshaft failure. There has been a trend at times by some "performance enthusiasts" to remove the harmonic balancers on their cars. The argument is that they aren't necessary and their mass reduces the performance of the engine. Others argue that this is not worth it, because the danger of damage to the engine from the vibrations the damper is intended to prevent is too high. While net engine output can be increased without harmonic balancers, in professional race cars harmonic balancers are still commonly equipped, for reasons ranging from safety concerns to regulations. Almost all modern car manufacturers, even "performance" car makers and specialty tuners, include a harmonic balancer on their vehicles, and removal voids vehicle warranty.

the only reason i can think of the keep the 'stang over the Z is the back seat.

diff is in the pistons: dished for turbo flat top for some non-turbo

this is gonna be an awesome build

too bad those rims aren't dished....

^yes you gonna manual tranny it? i may be hitting you up about that there flywheel also, the I30 has an aluminum VQ30DE

LOL i lost it..... hahahahaaaa

bluebird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Bluebird

goooot it..... that's what i figured, cause i never found a link that said "archives" LOL anyway, back to the topic

^i always hear people mention "the archives"... is that just old threads or am i excluded from part of the forum....?

effin SWEET it worked for you!! and a '56 testa rossa??? droooolllll.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_TR#250_Testa_Rossa

the sound of these exhausts is why i wil never put a V motor in my Z...

bummer.. thanks though!

ya, i got the same thing when i was working on my car.... so i had to get her running in 10 days > anyway, i'll probably hit you up for a few parts (radiator, moustache bar, front diff mount, rear transverse link mount)

Pics!!!!!!!!!!!!

e88 + n42??

i had read in another thread that it had to be trimmed A LOT..... maybe it was a different year taurus fan...? here's that thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=101913&highlight=taurus

WOW reminds me of that 1/3 scale ferrari that that french guy built.... that runs

sorry, i couldn't resist. aren't people bolting RBs up to L-series trannies and vice versa? of that's the case, wouldn't l-series tranny bolts work as well?

glad to hear you got it fixed!
