savageskaterkid Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I thought it was funny that I found this on ebay. Well, now I know what flames on a Z looks like, and I am not very impressed. Originally when he was selling it a few months ago, he thought he could get 9k for it. This is the guy that said that a Z with a motor swap is sacreligious, and is therefor garbage, yet since his has the original motor thats been rebuilt it is considered a great deal. He says its a new remanufactured nissan head, but he originally told me he just got the p90a rebuilt. Sorry to rant, but I'm really not a big fan of this guys work, as he is a Nissan mastertech that likes to throw his title out there as being the most knowledgeable of the car guys. This guys argued his Z was better and he challenged me to a race, I was happy to setup a race as soon as the track reopens, and he is so cocky that he wants to bet $2000 on this race. By then I was thinkin of what I could buy for the Z with that money. But he said he wants to race his 240sx, and I decline, because I have heard of this 240sx, he says there is no SR20 in it, but from being near the city he lives in, I've heard its an S15 SR20 6-speed, but I think someone said that its N/A with a huge CR? IDK, depending on how the Z responds to me in the next couple months, I may be at the local track on street night and lay down a smaller bet, such as $200-$500. Don't bid. Yet again, sorry for the rant, but I couldn't seem to find the thread I posted awhile back about it, maybe it got deleted or my buddys computer never actually posted it.

alexideways Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well my friend, seem's to me you allready won, the guy said your Z was garbage and that he wanted to race you for 2000$ thinking you'd shy away but, to his suprise, you stepped forward and even offered to set the race up. Suddenly, he wants to race a 10 y/o car (with a swapped engine) against an 35 y/o car, seems to me he proved to you and everybody else that HE owns the POS. + what would be more sacreligious, swapping the engine, to give a new lease on life to a great clasic or painting FLAMES on a nice classic that is neither a 32 deuce coupe n'or an Harley Davidson gas tank. Keep it up and whip his as*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 I think I am going to setup this race against his SR20, worst case senerio I loose what I bet, I won't bet anything that I can't afford to loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I think I am going to setup this race against his SR20, worst case senerio I loose what I bet, I won't bet anything that I can't afford to loose. to be honest, i think you're gonna lose. more details about what you have, and what he's selling for 9k would be a good post. especially because he should race what he thinks is not "garbage". and if he has a 240sx with an SR20 swap, that basically makes it garbage by his standards, because its not a 200sx or a 180sx. it's a 240. it should have a 2.4 litre.

typhoone Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 stomp his ass and post the video so you can show it to him every time he opens his mouth. but that's just my ¢.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now hes only asking $4900. Why do you think I'm going to loose? Its kind of a bold statement knowing niether car, and what was explained as being an N/A sr20 vs. what is written as my signature-maybe I should update that? If you wanna know the basics of my build, here is what I can think of off the top of my head. N42 bottom with dished pistons, N47 head with light port work, most likely a MLS head gasket-Hopefully I'll have something like 8.5-8.75:1 CR. MSnS system workin with 440 injectors, if not higher. A Holset H1e running about 12-15psi. Right now I'm trying to mockup an SRT-4 intercooler, but I may sell that for something a bit bigger. I plan to use a 2-3lb shot of the laughing gas off the line to spool the turbo. I see no less then 325whp while spraying. I already have the turbo, intercooler, MSnS and a few other things, all I need is injectors and to setup my nitrous system. Soon after the motor is broken in I have plans for a meth injection. Thats the basic jist of my buildup, and I may be forgetting things, but all that vs. a STOCK n/a SR20. Who do you think will win now?

OlderThanMe Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 back on topic...pretty cool flames on a Z... You just have to get a good dynamic flamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to get a good dynamic flamer. lol, like the design OTM, but I just don't think it looks right on a Z, maybe a truck, a hotrod type car, but it doesn't look right on a Z.

MusPuppis Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 How fast could a little N/A 4 banger really be? Dont get me wrong, I know you can do some radical stuff with em but after a certain point you get something thats undriveable and non functional for any real street driving.. So unless hes running one crazy build and its essentially drag-only I wouldnt think there would be THAT much trouble in the car. Hell, find a Zer with something really nasty under the hood and set that race up.. Someone lend me a 125 shot of nitrous and I'll run him in my SHO.. hahaha.

Mikelly Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Well I'll tell you all how straight that car is and how good or bad the flames look later on... I'm calling this guy and going to take a look at the car... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 you looking into buying another Z? Or just looking to give a report? Find out about his 240sx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 My M Roadster is sold and waiting for a shipping time and location. I'm buying a motorcycle to drive on nice days while I sort the Z out for track duty. I'm also gonna look at a daily driver to knock around in while I decide what else to buy (looking at Vipers/Vettes/Porsches). I plan to buy something for less than $10K and have as a spare vehicle that can be used if the truck or the wife's car is in for repairs and a nice looking clean older Zcar would fit the bill.. This one has nice lines, and except for the attention getting paint, it looks good on the interior. If it's not a total rust bucket, I may well buy it.

veritech-z Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hope that "light rust on the flame rails" doesn't turn out to be all that bad...I don't think this car looks as bad as some flame jobs I've seen, does it have a sunroof? It looks like it in one of the pics but he doesn't mention it or show it very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think will win now? well i was under the impression that the N/A s15 that he has probably's got some goodies, and you didn't really post anything about your car. but it might be a good race. show him what your car is capable of, and get it on video... and record him tooting his own horn on camera, since he thinks he's hot ♥♥♥♥ too. that way when you post it on the web, you have his ugly mug and his voice/quote online for everyone to diss him with, for being such a cocky loser. people like that deserve it. so by all means...
