TheNeedForZ

Great project and welcome to the forum! I am inspired because my Z is about as rotten as yours. I did pretty much the same thing, whole-car media blasting, then coat it with Rust Bullet(similar to POR15). Now I need body work done. BTW I absolutely enjoyed your videos!

Only their intended use is the same. The L series AFM uses a flap door analogous system that isn't very precise and restricts airflow compared to the Z31 MAF.

Those people come out with the shallowest stuff ever...

Maybe run the file called "joystimm" ?

Thanks for the link vashonz. If anyone is interested in downloading, use the "mirror on the kulp" link instead of the official(first) one. check this out : http://pitstop.totalnfs.net/cars/bre240z.html?inframes

I've read the manga. The story in the video is similar to the story in the first volume of manga. I don't speak Japanese so I'll just introduce the manga characters briefly, you piece together the story yourself. Akio : the guy dreamed of driving the Z, he took pictures of it when it zoom past the apartment. Later he found a wrecked Z in the j/y which happens to be the same Z(devil Z) he coveted earlier. The Z was owned by the architect girl's brother who died in a crash while driving the Z. The Architect girl : "They repeat the scene of her in the Blackbird (the 911 turbo) like 3 times..." No, she was actually in the Z(when she is sitting on the left side of the car, she's in the Z, because the right side of Z is the driver seat). In the manga, the girl's brother often take her for a ride in the Z. She lost her brother when a car accident occured to the Z. Her emotions are strongly attached to her deseased brother(hence the scene of her in the Z to show her memory lingering in the past). In the manga the girl eventually forgets about the sad past and move on(moves to America to study) The guy in 911 : In the manga he's a young doctor who was a close friend to the architect girl and her brother. When he found out the devil Z is running again, he set out to destroy it in front of the architect girl so the girl will break free from her memories. In the movie, the 911 guy doesn't get a lot of exposure. The model girl : In the manga her name is Reina. She drives a white skyline R33 and developes a friendship/crush on Akio. That's pretty much the story in the first vol. of manga(there are more than 30 vol. of manga) The story in the movie could be different.

None of the engines I list here rev to 11000rpm but comes very close to the mark. Hyabusa engine like this here http://www.super7cars.com/Super7_GSX1300R_specs.html http://www.super7cars.com/Super7_Hayabusa_engine.html Or if you read december's Sport Compact Car (magazine) you'll find a great article about a 10000rpm n/a K20 engine with ITB. Others will tell you they are "2 expensive" and not practical. But this is a free country and it's your money/time.

The hosting server changes the address of storage every few hours. Reload the page, then download again. I am now one of those ppl that have downloaded it and seen it all. The car is REAL!

Oh man I've been so close to complete download (once at 99%, once at 94%) but I got cut off even though I am using a program that allows "resuming". The problem is the server hosting the video keeps changing the address of the video approx. every 2 hours. Once I got cut off, I I can't resume because the address has changed..... How'd you guys get your complete download???

I remember someone posted a player called "VLC media player." I use it to play EVERYTHING and it works EVERYTIME! Try searching for it on the internet. I am using a download accelerator (the kind that let's you resume downloading after you are cut off). So far 150MB and going smoothly. Without the accelerator I got cut off at 60 MB.

I didn't find any download link at all...

Welcome to the forum!

Hey, glad how things worked out for you. Welcome back.

v80z, Great video! Some excellent makeshift setup ideas in that one.

I was gonna ask that...Does the tiny engine have the crankshaft strong enough to propel the weight of a 4 wheel car?

lol those are great, thanks for posting.

Are you sure the vapor can actually exit from the hose you are referring to? I mean if you assume vapor can exit from it while it can't for some reason.... If the venting is too slow, then you will still have pressure. Like blowing air thru a thin, long straw.

Congrats, that's a very clean looking car. I am only 1 year and 3 months into my project....3 years and 9 months to go!

Some people need to take themselves less seriously. less jaded + less judging = more fun in life.

Do you actually mean "SR240Z" ?

I just love how the car look like it's going to take off. http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=F0DE12A8-3BCF-470B-843D-9DD151D18330&p=18

N/A L30?! Sub 11 secs?! Wow that's fast.

Matt, I have a ZXT ECU, I can't sell it, but if you want to, you can plug that in and see if it solves the problem before you put money down for a new one. I live in Richmond. If interested, PM me.

I like it! Very different looking car.

I've seen it before...but it is still so funny! Lots of extras... Everything that fell off is in the trunk. ROFL!!
