  1. isn't that what they do? they are better than the ford viton stem seals
  2. car's coming along BEAUTIFULLY! we'll have to meet up sometime, i'm by madison
  3. honestly, the gains on either side are not that great. if you are going it for cruising/fuel economy, then you are going to spend WAY more on the tranny swap than you will save if you switch out the tranny. if you go with a decent 5 speed you will get a better result, since if you autoX you won't waste time shifting. IMHO
  4. yes, but it's not as easily available as the VQ30/35DEs are.... or are they??? if so, where can i get one?? and yes, megasquirt is the way to go
  5. stupid work computer! on another note, have you seen the rube goldberg accord commercial that they made a few years ago? awesome.....
  6. did you call up a nissan dealer? edit - google search only popped up this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-300zx-Throttle-Position-Sensor-NIB-TPS_W0QQitemZ320116579961QQcmdZViewItem
  7. excellent write up! thank you so much. i have been apprehensive about doing megasquirt because it's intimidating. this was much needed. :thumbsup:
  8. well, SOME of the VQ blocks (FWD ones from the maxima/I30/I35) would require swapping of the crankshaft of a RWD VQ (J30/G35/F35/350Z) to mate to a RWD tranny
  9. i LOVE the VQ motors. they make great power and are a little lighter than the VG because they are all aluminum. but, like has been said before, unless you plan on fabbing up turbo manifolds yourself (which would be pretty dope), a turbo VQ build is gonna be pricey. they are high comp motors, so you will also be looking at some lower comp pistons. to make good reliable power, it's gonna be a bit pricey. although the VQ as an NA motor makes some nice power....
  10. call the cops. i hate a-holes.
  11. i saw a euro style plate on a car yesterday.... it was the short, wide kind and had the same lic plate number as the rear (which was a US plate). maybe a custom front plate would work for you?
  12. ^makes sense.... maybe you'd have to run it through a relay or with a diode?
  13. ya, CA is another state where you can't just take it off, too
  14. here's the link if anyone else was wondering http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=105653&highlight=mn47&page=2
  15. i would start another thread on this, but it has probably already been discussed. just as a reference point, what's the highest comp we can pull off on pump gas?
  16. wow, awesome fabrication. keep up the good work!
