  1. When I was 12 I had a quarter of my kidney removed....it was all calcified and as near as they could tell I had over 100 stones. I passed a few before they yanked the rest out. My first was brought on by a judo flip. Cheers?
  2. On note with needle painting...I have Stewart Warner gauges with orange needles....Anyone paint theirs white to match the original look? Will it throw the tach reading out?
  3. Ferrari...I always though Rendevous was filmed using a JAG E type? lol..... How about that 350 through Prague....that was fun! Everytime I watch the Ferrari episodes of Victory by Design I get sickly jelous........
  4. HAHAHA...I cant believe this thread continues...go work on your cars!
  5. I love those 2 block of wood in the grill...what are they there for? Congrats!!!
  6. ..thank you.......not finished yet,
  7. Here is mine..... Before the blow through
  8. Hey all Im looking for a 240SX or a Z31 speed sensor...one of these... Anyone have a spare one for a decent price? Cheers
  9. Oh come on guys., get real..it fit into one kidney BMW grill. take a 70 pound bag of...........ahh.....flour.... and try to stuff it into that hole at 140MPH! Never mind a 70 pound bag of flour that running at full stride for its life_____Without even detroying a headlight! I dont think so! Even if it is a BMW. I say its a 20lb fox. Tooooo funny Oh ya...Ive driven the autoban...yes the speed is more than possible.....Im not disputing that.
  10. Fow what engine? I have a SS (RB20DET) as well, fits fine and no probs. I also have a HKS unit (and Manifold )that I received by surprise from Japan when I bought a RB25 turbo. It much better..the material is thicker and the welds are way cleaner. The openings also are much larger and better positioned. Go the HKS if you can...but for the price...SS is a great deal.
  11. OK help me out...what is crystalization of copper..please define, Secondly...I have soldering many wires and have never had a problem. My main goal is to melt the solder as quickly as possible without heating up the wire too much. Am I doing something wrong? Thirdly...when I use the weathertight connectors I crimp and put a light solder on the crimp. Again have not had a problem. Do you have concerns with this? And lastly....the only time I have found dislocated weathertight connectors is when I have messed up the unstall...I screwed up!.... Or put female pins in both ends... They may not be as good as AMP but lets get real...they are not poor quality! They are a realistic and affordable substitute that performs very well in 30+ year old Zs This thread is talking about replacing a few connectors not redoing the entire car with new wire and fresh connectors.
  12. That deer must be pretty small and very short...... to fit through that one grill opening. I go with Nism0Zed, perhaps a fox size critter. And I dont believe that car was going 140! Think about how many times have you seen a car damaged by a deer....at 60mph!
  13. Im almost finished turbo charging an 89 3 valve engine in my 240SX track car. It has a log manifold, a Z31 turbo....no intercooler (for now) Stock head. The local NISSAN techs tell me it should be able to run 5 to 6 psi with no changes. (its a real BUDGET car!) It may end up with a hole in the block as well.... haha........... KA-t would be much better!

    wooden dash?

    What do you mean bend the curves...I was assuming he would carve the entire dash out of a "solid" piece...

    wooden dash?

    I had this idea many years ago...it would look great but how do you make it without all the weight , and would such a complex shape crack. How does rosewood handle different climate conditions? Teak is preferred by boaters...isnt it? And besides.....I realized I didnt have the skill set to whittle something that big!
  16. I believe I have been lapping with Amhad...and he aint 70. The car is full tube chasis and yes it runs a GN engine. Its real fast! He has been racing for years! It was a crazy day at the Shannonville track.... a cold mid November day..the organizers let all cars onto the track at once....everything from stock Hondas to this GT2 car. It was nuts...A pack of Hondas were braking for a corner...I was still accelerating trying to beat them there and Amhad blew right through all of us like thunder. In retrospect it was a dangerous session but heck of a lot of fun .
  17. cool paint job.......but ya ...$300 is fine. Suspension parts, gauges...twin webbers....all sorts of stuff. Good deal!
  18. Oh...I looked it up on dictionary.com and couldnt find anything car related....... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gages
  19. Ive never worried ...or even considered....matching exact length or overall diameter...never had a problem. Just tried to come close.
  20. I LIKE!!! please keep us posted, if it works out and is function I would be interested!
  21. Cool! Im getting one! Thank you
  22. When I bought them I picked up individual components. Seperate pins. plugs and all....it was way cheaper. Dont forget to pick up one of those tools that releases the pins. I miswired one headlight and having that tool made correcting my screw up a breeze
