Really a noob question. The search function won't recognize the word "2+2" so here I am. Will a 2+2 fender fit on 2-seater coupe? I am referring to S30.

Where is the link please?

yeah, "behind" so I can't see it from outside

How do I check compression? Does it require a running engine? can you elaborate on "wet and dry"?

I am receiving a complate LS1 engine (1998 Camaro) without transmission(originally a 6-speed) in a few days. It has just over 100000miles on the odometer. I know the GM bottom end are very long lasting, but what do I need to check once the engine arrives? Thanks

IIRC the book is out of print since the one I bought from Amazon.com is already a used one. You can still buy it on Amazon.com only that it will be used. The name of the book is "nitrous-oxide injection." There are several nitrous books out there, pick up a few more if you are interested. I want to clarify on what I said earlier that, even though nitrous is injected cold, it still produce great amount of heat after combustion. The Vizard book also talks about how to deal with the extra heat and output.

I am not Grumpy, but having seen the David Vizard's nitrous book, I'll throw in what I've learned, but I won't say nitrous is "superior" to anything....using nitrous is like having boost ON TAP. you can have as much torque as you want at any rpm. It does away with intercooler since the nitrous is cool, it never received any work but rather absorbs heat from its surrounding. If n2o is injected in liquid form it's even colder. The injection can be staged to turn out any torque curve you want as long as you plan it beforehand. When used in a turbo engine, it complements the turbo very well : a small amount of nitrous injected at low rpm suddently boosts the amount of exhaust gas expelled. The extra exhaust spools up the turbine and creates turbo boost earlier. I'd say that nitrous + forced induction is superior to forced induction alone, but that's a given BTW, when I said "injection" it means nitrous and fuel, not nitrous alone.

ahh I guess that's why I've never seen that part before. It hides behind the drum. Thanks

it says : rear wheel cylinder http://nifty.amikai.com/AmiWeb?ami_url=http%3A%2F%2Fpage12.auctions.yahoo.co.jp%2Fjp%2Fauction%2Fp77642855&r_n=2748 where is it installed ?

I have heard using teflon buttons to keep the pins from scratching the cylinder walls. Anyone else heard about that? I saw that in the "how to modify your datsun engine..." book...of all places.

Hmmm, time to speak to grumpyvette and other "horsepower council" to hatch a battle plan. What engine are you using? Original small block? from the 18436572 in your signature it is not a gen III.

BRAAP on this site also did a mopar swap.

Yes it's written on page 97. a striaght tube with 180 degree roll back with 1/8" roll radius has 2.8% gain over bare carb. This is similar to the flare on his new product. eliptical flare has 5.8% gain over bare carb.

The fastest record for my 260Z rolling shell is 5 mph, with three people pushing it.

A contemporary car has many virtues. But a Z is only immortal.

DLC = diamond-like carbon(coating) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon

thats 8369cc worth of iron block !! Although it is an iron block but bigger and much cheaper that the C5R(427cid) block!

Awwww now that's beautiful. Any more information regarding how it is done(steps, necessary mods)?

Just thought some of you might be interested. I have bought 2 sets of 240Z rods that turned out to be 260Z and 280Z rods. A real 240Z rod has the oil jet hole on a small hump of extra metal. You can see the slight protrusion(hump) in the photo. http://cgi.ebay.ca/DATSUN-240Z-L24-ROD-AND-PISTONS_W0QQitemZ150113321729QQihZ005QQcategoryZ33623QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem BTW, I am not the seller. You should still ask for the part number cast on the rods to verify the origin. The part number cast on my 240Z rods are 5x-0@JAPAN.N0142-y x can be 0 or 1 y can be 1 or 2 @ is really a datsun logo

And what's the deal with those dreams in which you have a VERY LOOSE TOOTH? I heard it is a very common dream.

Depending on how one defines "similar." To me, all SKS are "very similar." SKS and Rashid are "very similar." Heck, even Ljungman AG42b and Hakim are "very similar"....to me. If you are into collecting, there are many, many SKS variants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKS

SKS are all very similar. The Norinco(Chinese) one has spike bayonets instead of blade bayonets.

mosin nagant and .22 are new addition... What .22 is it? Savage? Marlin? Anschutz(spelling?)?

how much do you charge?

where is the link?
