I love that bottom one. If you could do me a huge favor add some black ZG's to it. I just might steal that sheme. Tyson

What about an S13 Headlights? Tyson

What would be your non-ebay Hybridz asking price? Just curious. Tyson

Brian what is your asking price for yours right now? Still running condition? Tyson

Out of curiousity, (since I live in CA) and the car being a 76' would you have to try and deal with smog crap? If so, I'd definitely would want one older, though I don't really know my Skyline history. Tyson *EDIT* Just a cool website: http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.c110-skyline.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3DC110%2Bskyline%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%26sa%3DN

Okay, I was able to meet cable at the last CVZ meeting, and lets just say nothing about this car is sleeper. The ground outside shakes, your ears pound, and you've got nasty grin on your face, but you still can't believe its coming from a little 280z. Hopefully you can make it this weekend Cable, and I'll bring my camera this time. Tyson

Well I was supposed to receive a Hood from him. I had bought the one he had listed on ebay, we had talked about doing a G-nose, etc. Then I had completely lost contact with him. Luckily I hadn't PAID for mine yet, so I'm not really throwing a big fuss. I've been trying to email him for 3 weeks now, with no response. However the guy was upfront when I was in contact with him. Just a little fyi. Tyson

Out of curiosity, wouldn't a small Venturi effect help out the flow? As in the case of this "bottleneck"? I mean I don't have a lot of engine building experience, I've just have read a slight bottle neck or taper can increase flow. Tyson

Please show where. Also if its show-car body parts be very careful. Tyson

I think the last time it snowed here was 2 years ago, and it was about a full inch worth it was gone just as fast as it came. I'd like to see real snow someday looks pretty cool. Tyson

Hmmm that must be the white stuff commonly referred to as "snow"... I wonder what thats like.... Tyson

Internals and such might be a problem but your biggest problem is going to be the head. I've never seen an aluminum diesel head and most are going to be cast iron. If you wanted to just slap a turbo on the current diesel. Would be much easier to do. It also depends a lot on how much HP you want to make. Tyson

I'm around 13k into my swap and have around another 3-6k to go. Not including tools that I'll buy, eh oh well. Money well spent when pulling up next to any production car.

Just be careful Mike. I had bought a shaft mounted roller setup for my 1st Gen SBC (stock heads) and they had clearance issues at the rocker base. I know they're cheap but like getZ said unless your revving fairly high or making some really serious HP its not going to be worth the money or the machine cost (at least for me) to get the proper clearances, when you can do something better. I went with a roller tip rocker arm instead and am happy with it, its just a nice little cruiser type motor. Tyson

Okay, I'm going to be nice. Start off with a Searching. In particular look at a couple of members running similar setups. Garrett76, 510six, etc. You aren't very clear as to your fuel induction system, weather it be carb or fuel injection. Since you mention mega-squirt I'm going to assume you're running Fuel Injection. For the amount of boost that you are running, etc. I'd recommend some sort of aftermarket ecu, i.e. mega-squirt, SDS, or similar. Its not going to be easy to tune in comparison to a NA vehicle, however it depends on WHAT you're wanting to tune. Tuning can be very complex or simple depending on what program you use and what settings you are wanting/willing to change at risk of damage to your vehicle. I'd recommend picking up some of Corky Bells' Books on Turbochargers and Fuel Induction, as well as a book on tuning your vehicle for maximum power. Hope this help, be sure to use the search function on this site, it will answer most of your questions. Tyson

I don't really know, Davy. He doesn't look to be much older than I am though, I had never met the guy before. I feel for the guys family though, death is never easy on anyone. Tyson

I just checked my local Z club anyone else hear about Nazar passing away? http://www.centralvalleyz.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=857 Tyson

Wow that looks hot, I like it a whole lot. Good job!!! Tyson

Well if its a 5spd it won't be the 700r4. Don't know what the stick one is but I don't think it would be very well geared for a Z if thats what you're thinking. We have 16x9's on my truck, don't really see a need to go much larger than that. Are you looking to lower it or raise it? stock? I recommend getting a gibson exhaust, a chip, K&N will help you feel more comfortable towing. Tyson

Looking good, they look similar to BMW M3 fender vents. But I like them a lot in the hood. Out of curiousity what color is your Z going to be all together? Tyson

Read the stickies and FAQ pages. Its a great start and use the SEARCH function a lot. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=84860 Start by reading that and going from there. Tyson

Is this good or bad Ernie? And once I get it, I'll be sure to take lots of pics. Tyson

Dude, I know that you're new to the board and all. But please try and take a look at the date of the last post before you revive it. I don't think they're offering the CF parts anymore. However good job using the search function. Tyson

I'll trade him all of my LS1/T56 S30 stuff for it... Tyson

Any one get the G-nose? I ended up getting the hood. Just curious if anyone got the G-nose I lost by $10 dollars. Tyson
