Im considering retrofitting the RB20 piston squirters into a KA24e(t) block. It appears that NISSAN considered fitting them into the KAe block as standoffs are cast onto the main oil gallery...just never used. At first it looked like a simple case of removing the squirter assembly with a 10mm socket...but I quickly realized they were not held in with bolts. Does anyone have experience with squirter removal? Hints are appreciated.....

I would be intertested for sure! Perhaps a barter of some sort......

So!

Suck it up and get over it.................. You will regret selling the beast! Step back and take a breather till your ready to get back at her......you will enjoy it more than your first time. Ive been at mine for 18 years! You dont think Ive had moments of hell...? Believe me, speaking from experience.......you will survive!

So my 2 options are: spend $300 for a set a brand new EAGLE rods..delivered spend about $125+ to shot peen and add new ARP fasteners It seems that the frugal approach is go stock....but then, you still have old rods....and some doubts. I think I will go Eagle.....I can sell off my 2 sets of OEM rods and make up some of the difference. They sound like a decent product...but are they US or China made?? The local machine shop says Chinese and swears by them as well. Maybe overkill for 300HP but then....I may turn up the boost sooner or later.... Thanx all..........

Right now Jason Im good. Got the 3 versions covered. Should have thought of you first! Right in town and all! John is testing the mid year lengths and Bernard is testing the later straps. They will be available soon....ya right, said that before!

Got the mid series 280Z straps...in my hand. They look great and I apologize for the delays. It was a priority thing ...and ...I needed to make up longer strap blanks. Bottomline...as soon as I obtain a test volunteer to confirm fitement they will be available for sale. John...are you interested? If so PM me to review...... Thanx Jerry

:lmao::lmao:

They were not completed as promised but I saw the components yesterday and they should be assembled (welded) today. Will update the thread later today. Appreciate the push John!

So Toyota has decided tp enter the Super car scene with this high $300K ride. Considering this will be a flagship Im surprised it looks so much like a 350/GTR/Astin Martin/Porche mix. Especialy the front grill opening.....that screams 350! Im sure it will be a well built car but I cant help but consider the styling as knock-off lame. I also believe the price point a "bit" high. Too bad....I dont like the direction that Toyota is taking with current styling efforts...and this sure wont change my mind. As far as performance goes...no biggie either....R8, Z06 or GTR...or Ferrari...much better deals. http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/download/1209_2011-Lexus-LFA_specs.pdf Has Toyota lost it way?

They all demonstrate amazing control but that first vid makes me think the bike is part of his body...... I use to roller skate ...yes I said roller skate......on the streets of Toronto and do crazy things. We pushed pretty hard and Im surprised I never broke my neck. But the stuff people do these days is a lot more difficult ... and creative.

Thats exactly how this was resolved! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=141819&highlight=hand+brake

Hope to have the a prototype tomorrow. Thanx!!

hahaha...I felt that way when I knocked over my CBT360 and it fell on the front bumper of my 350 roadster. Totaly had a spasm....threw things all over the garage....Im surprised I didnt wreck anything. The funny part was I was moving stuff around so that very thing wouldnt happen! I tripped over and extension cord and set the dominos into action. LOL. I gave the project CBT away shortly afterwards.........................

Wow...I cant believe Ive missed this thread......what an amazing car! That tone of orange is gorgeous, the best Ive seen. Overall the car looks incredible and sounds like a super strong runner. Congrats on a job well done!

Just wasted a whole wack of time going over the swaps. Cool site with a few Datsun swaps as well. love this one http://www.engineswapdepot.com/?p=141'>http://www.engineswapdepot.com/?p=141

KA24e Looks like a setof 4 is $300 including ARP fasteners.

Really...what school did you go to?

Im not too keen on this idea...what if something goes wrong...WHAMO...a hundred million tons slammes into earth and we go the way of the dinosaur. And what if all goes well with the landing but a chunck of iron the size of spain throws the magnetic poles into skelter causing immediate climate or tidal changes......killing most of us. I am intrigued by the idea of building habitable asteroids...they could be like resorts or even retirement communities......our seniors could travel the galaxy. How about prisontroids....the inmates could mine the minerals for us! After all why use expensive robots when we can use bad ass criminals for free. They can farm their own food for survival.

Im considering picking up a set of Eagle rods. They appear to be commonly used, I cant find any serious issues regarding quality on the web (one comment about poor rod bolts?) and the price is damn good! What do you think about Eagle? They are for a 300hp turbo track application.

Ya I know......but do it up front and you wont have to do it again. Trust me..been there, done it!.......again.

Just cut out a section of the brackets and you wont need to remove the axles......BUT...why not remove them and change the bearings while your at it.

Six_shooter's car is plenty fast. And there is a lot more to have. Go with what you have it will be fine. Just dont expect too much too soon...work up to your goals. I did the same with a 100% stock KA24e and it amazing what will work before a melt down.

A hydraulic line lock will never work very well. Make sure you always have a brick behind your rear wheels because the pressure will drop sooner than later. At which point you will be chasing your car...if it hasnt already stopped in some ones living room.
