hey Arch-z did you use the original seat rails?

hey mike where did you get the dash done in Aus?

Hi Gav, there's a reason those autotechnica seats are a "bargain". i bought my seats from auto barn and had a look at the autotechnica's. the autobarn guy actually warned me off them, apparently they only juuust pass the ADR requirements. and yeah they are heavy and i found them really tight and uncomfortable. auto barn (in sydney anyway) are reps for the SAAS line of seats, see if they have a catalogue

hey you guys are goin alright! im getting 200 kays out of a tank:disappoin

when i was using them they worked better than the hitachi's. mine are the "emission" variant (NOT FLATOPS!) the needle is on a little spring but this doesnt effect performance at all. otherwise they are the same as a standard SU. dont know why they were better than the hitachi, they had a crisper throttle responce.

holy crap! what did you do to em?

those carbs look like genuine SU's i have a pair just like em, they arent the 240z hitachi copies. i wouldnt mind the blinker switch, turning left is beginning to be a pain the the arse.

BROKE becouse 100 bucks a week in fuel just isnt funny anymore...

Hi Gav, have a look at a pair of black SAAS seats, racing style with the harness holes in the headrest but with the adjustable back rest. ive had mine for a couple of years, they were a pain in the arse to fit ( i used the original seat rails :dead: ) but they are good on a track, good for long drives and look S*!T hot. most decent auto part stores in Oz can order them in if they dont have one lying around. check out www.saas.com.au edit : the seat is called the dominator

what was that about nissans new engine having a small power ceiling?

a quick question to find out why alot of you feel the 350z isnt a sportscar, If the 240z is a sportscar then why is the 350z, a 2 seater coupe, far outhandles, outbrakes and out accelerates a regular 240z, not one? ive had the pleasure of chasing a 350z around a race track in my very modified 240 and i can safely say watching the 350 drift through corners and the way the car responded to throttle and an enthousiastic driver (before passing him down the straight :classic: ) that there was nothing unsporting about it.

I used R180 shafts with an R200, worked fine. apparentley the R200 shafts are shorter to compensate for the wider diff, though with the range of movement the R180 shafts have inout wise is enough to work with the R200. i could be wrong but the R200 shafts i think have finer splines that are less prone to breakage? can someone confirm this?

looks like the car is a japanese local from the licence plate??? man theres alot of work in that. wiring harness brake lines, fuel rail, everthings hidden. looks like the lines for the oil cooler run through the inner guard!

fuel injected L6!!!

i had a stage 3 in an L26 once... waste of time. for the money stuff the cam and pick up an L28 block and put your head and bits and pieces on that. heaps better. unless of course you want to keep the L24. with a stage 3 cam youll need 10.5:1 compression and upwards it to feel good.

yeah sick division are pretty good, i bought my first spoiler off them, put it on, had an excursion in the wet ans smashed it into a million bits. then got the next one off fibresports for $... less!!!

260det, FYI, the sick division and fibresports dam are one and the same. fibresports have the mold for them and hence sell them cheaper. edit, check out my gallery for a closup of that spoiler

it tells me he could run 11's with fuel injection! just jokes!

260freak, if you already have a p90 head stay with it and get it shaved till you have about 48cc combustion chambers, theres no need to use more money on another head if you dont have too. with the bore size of the 3.1 you wont have a low compression, should be about 10.4:1, use L24 rods. if you are running it on the street but also on the track crow australia make a stage 3 cam which is a good comprimise, and some porting, especially the exhaust - what dan said- ive seen a motor built like this using fuel injection make over 200kw at the wheels (285 hp?) on a dyno and its awesome! (it had an open exhaust however)

id have to disagree with that one, V engines are definitly more stable than an inline 6. lets not forget the the RB26 is based off design that dates back to the early 80's, while the VQ engine is a recent design that makes close to the same power (with no turbo's) as an RB26 STOCK. It also has behind it all those years of development in things like combustion chamber efficiancy, balance, friction and so on. the VQ has alot of years of development still in it and wil doubtless be a far superior engine to the now outdated RB. my 2cents

i have the same problem and i (now) know what it is. i checked the front mount, replaced the u joints checked the bushings in the moustache bar, the diff has been recently rebuilt, i just couldnt figure out what was going on. then out of frustration whilei was putting he-man force on thehalf shaft nuts i noticed the diff rock to the side. the holes in the rear moustache bar that the diff bolts slide through have elongated so when getting on and off the accelerator the diff was rocking side to side, solution: new rear moustache bar.

Koslov, Te wheels on the red car are simmons FR18 wheels made in Oz. not sure if they are available in Canada or not. the owner of this car frequents this site as thatozzyguy.

no idea, mine had a 4.4 in it beofre i swapped for a 3.9 it was originally out of an R31 before being briefly used in a 240z drag car, hence the 4.4 i'd be suprised if the skyline didnt use either a 3.7 or 3.9

hey mike whats your top score on the penguin batting game? i got 323.5!
