Off-Topic Thread...

hey freak,

i passed you in posts YATCH!!! :lol2: :bananasmi

What are you kiddies crying about? Who cares what car Wes gets, you should be more concerned with the ugle f***er wearing his helmet. Nice skid lid Wes.

i have a question on my dyno sheet, could bad coil pack connectors be to blame for the notchiness of the power line? i know a couple of my connectors are part way broken.

-Jared

That could probably be it Jared...

What I would do, next time you guys have some heavy snow, and the Zed is out of commission. Park it in the hanger, get yourself a new EFI Harness. And begin splicing.

So you avoid having to access it through the firewall.

Thats just an idea... I would seriously just suggest getting the engine pulled, and swapping it correctly.

And Jared... Who cares what section of an INTERNET website I moderate. Real life over internet life... Getting a 350Zed is more plausible, because:

1. There are plenty for sale in perfect condition all over my town.
2. There are plenty for sale with almost no miles, for fairly cheap in town.
3. No shipping involved (hence, there are no perfect condition Zed32's in town)
4. I dont not have the means to work on a Zed32. And all Zed32's require some form of work often. Work that needs special tools, or a mechanic.

I could really go on, but you get the picture Im trying to build here.

I also moderate the Koenigsegg section... Well I guess its kind of obvious why I dont drive a Koenigsegg. And not to mention I also moderate the 350Zed section as well.

Granted though. I think its kind of funny how things work in the PZC. I dont want to use the word 'unity' or anything, but thats kind of how it is. But yea, dont hate me too much for getting a Zed33... I dont see it being that big of a deal.

I'll get my perfect Zed32 someday... Just gotta find it first :rolleyes:

-Wes

Here we are... $20,800

Note: It is night time, and very wet out. The paint is actually perfect on the car, that is just condensation.

I dont think Im going to get this one though... Looks like a good canidate for a beater. Probably a repo or something :rolleyes:

But the search has just begun... God this should be fun :D

-Wes

It doesn't matter what you get Wes, it's yours. I know when you see the right car, it well talk to you and tell you, "I'm yours."

somebody did a write-up on tt.net on how you don't have to splice any wires when you are replacing the connectors. plus, i dont have the money for a main wiring harness. but hey, its your car so get whatever you want. i guess i just see it as working on your car is part of owning the car. no matter how hard it is to work on my car, no matter how pissed i get, i will never ever regret it and i would never trade it for anything else. thats how i see it.

-Jared

Well Jared you get tired of it... And after going through 3 Zed32s... Im tired of it.

And for this stage of life (going to college, driving back and forth from town to town) and car that is easier to work on... Is ideal.

Thats why I keep saying, I wont get a Zed32 unless its in perfect condition. Lets say I get a Zed with lets say 100,000miles... Ok then what? Hoses start dry rotting, EFI harness starts corroding, gaskets are getting to their wearing point, the expensive 120,000 maintanence is coming up rapily.

So why not just buy a new car with 10,000 or so miles, and make life easier?

Just my reasoning behind it...

-Jared

yeah you can just buy the little plastic connectors and then the old oens pop right off and the new ones slide right over and click on. really simple, and it will stop the connectors from sliding off just a tad. i have like 4 broken ones...

Just my reasoning behind it...

-Wes

well your reasoning sucks, fruitcake!!!! j/k wes...:lol:

BTW: if you dont decide to get that Z33, can you ask the owner or whoever if they want to sell just the wheels???
also whats wrong with it being repoed or what not...as long as it doesnt have a salvage title and its in good condition its the same as buying any other used car. repoed cars are usually fine, some guy usually pays for the car, keeps good care of it and all the sudden loses his job. well now he can make that payment so they come and tow it away. nothings wrong with the car, just a little bad luck. and obviously that guy cared about his car because its in excellent condition and people dont just drop $3000+ on wheels and tires if your gonna beat the shit out of the car...you know what i mean???

Because the wheels have curb bite all over them, and some shitty Ebay 'JDM' shifter, and it looks as if they peeled decals off the drivers side door.

Looks like someone got the car, dumped too much money into it, and had to drop it... Im just going to get a stock one, and tune it to my specification.

-Wes

wes WTF are you doing going to look at a car at night... and IN THE RAIN.... wes..do i need to choke a bitch?

wes WTF are you doing going to look at a car at night... and IN THE RAIN.... wes..do i need to choke a bitch?

Yea Wes, but it's OK if you were wearing a raincoat...who's the bitch that's gonna get choked?

I was actually wearing nothing more than a tube sock... Here I'll post pics of that too :evillol:

This is from 2 pages back. It is "traitor". I guess I was not the only one who failed English. My excuse is I never showed up. What is yours?

Anyway, just as FYI:

M4 carbines with a scope are ****ing sweet.

Broke, is the M4 carbine as good as a .50 cal McMillan Tatical Sniper rifle?

You gun people scare me...

-Wes

For the dedicated purpose of sniping: no, of course not. The M4 was designed and is deployed as a general service rifle, mainly to be a better close quarters weapon then the longer M16A2. However, given even a decent quality scope and it's 300 meter effective range, it makes a passable close range sniping weapon.

i'm glad i live in a country where the only guns you're allowed to carry around are high powered rifles and shotguns...

yeah, i failed english in highschool and havent taken it since. it was my first hour class at 7:45, so yeah, i didnt attend a whole lot. plus, the teacher loved me so she gave me free grades. suckers...:lol: sorry broke for my lack of spelling ability; the ironic part is i came in 4th place in the state spelling bee, back when i was in grade school. :dunno: i think i spelled every word correct for you this time...:rolleyes:

forgot the apostrohe in haven't and didn't

Given a basic vocabulary, spelling everything right is a fairly easy task. Punctuation and grammar seem to have been on the receiving end of literary genocide but I'm not really one who cares. Mostly I just like pointing out things other people do to make myself laugh. :D

Any mistakes that are brought to attention by me are akin to murders condemned by a serial killer.

forgot the apostrohe in haven't and didn't

oh shut up!!!

yeah, i was just trying to be a smarta** back. :lol:

Punctuation and grammar seem to have been on the receiving end of literary genocide but I'm not really one who cares.

i also tried to use all the correct punctuation for you, but i probably missed a few things since i havent taken grammar in a few years.

well guys... i'm going to be gone for a week.. going to work for my dad surveying way up in the mountains somewhere.. it's a pretty sweet deal... they pay for living expenses.. food.. all that good stuff. it's going to be hard work trudging through the backwood with nothing but a gps, but i think it'll be worth it... have the opportunity to make upwards of a grand with the overtime i'll be working, so hopefully i'll be able to put it towards my z if i can find a steady job when i get back.. maybe pick up a turbo engine from the guys at speedline or something.. who knows

stuff

Does anybody know this guy?

Have a good one Mr.D, see ya when you get back.

Thank you much.....

You mean 6?
yeah thats what i meant...thanks broke.

I built my heat shield today... Price break down:

12"x18" Stainless Sheet Metal 26gauge - $3.88
3 Feet of 1/4 Vaccum Hose - $2.18

I cut the Vaccum Hose down the center and fit it around the entire structure to reduce noise, and vibration.

It took about three or four prototypes templates made out of card board before we got the shape just right... Then layed the line out on the SSM, used some tin snippers, and voila.

Looks good too... Tommarow we're building the lower section, and a partial roof structure.

When I take the headlight out for the AutoxCross... Oooooo straight air feed :evillol:

Mmmmm... That was fun :evillol:

-Wes

And the shot from the air feed hole in the wheel well...

http://img211.exs.cx/img211/3127/wheelwell8kz.jpg

Tommarow we're Dremeling a 3.5" hole in the fascia, and running aluminum flex pipe from that hole to that hole in the wheel well... Direct feed.

Im putting a plumbing valve over the fascia hole, so I can open it wide up, or close it off when its wet out.

Home Depot Racing bitches :lol:

-Wes

Now thats a cool upgrade and cheap....I like it Wes.

Thanks Albert... Very cheap, very simple, very cool :lol:

Wes, what most people don't know is 60% of the performance for there cars is cheap and can be done by anyone with half a brain. Look at RedNeck383's car. 240Z, small engine and lots personal small things that add up to a killer car that kick's ass.

Keep it up guy.

i wish i had a car that i could just play around with. i am afraid of doing my own custom work on my z because i am afraid of ruining something.

-Jared

O man I wish I had a Zed to tinker with still... A custom airbox on that thing would be cheap, and VERY, VERY effective.

Just think of this:

Take off your centerpiece. And fabricate up the following...

http://img214.exs.cx/img214/781/charger6rx.jpg

Ok its a bit sketchy... But its for illustrative purposes only.

Think about that sheet metal bent into an open sided rectangle. With the two air filters facing just like that in the picture, but inside the box. You would only have to mount the MAF on either side.

So you would just have to JB Weld (or Epoxy :D ) some steel tubing onto each intake tubing hole, so it has something the connect to.

Make a template for the MAF on one side, and leave the other side wide open :D

Figure out a good bracket point (the centerpieces mount holes would do great for this) and mount the box onto those existing holes.

Straight on pure air.

Material cost would be very minimal... Build time would be under an hour, considering you had the proper tools. And hey, you'd learn something fun.

Pretty fun project if you ask me... And if it doesnt work, you can always scrap it.

-Wes

Oh it would work and most likely better than a store got one.

Oh it would work and most likely better than a store got one.

Custom made to fit the car, always best. Usually cheaper to. Plus you get all the fun of the R&D work.

"Is it on?"

"I think so."

*rattle-rattle-POW!*

"Fuck."

Thats it.....all my DIY shit is coming off....I don't want that rattle-rattle-POW shit happening to my car.

Rattle-Rattle POW is the fun part...

... Hok, so its not.

Nice... now make me one!


Don't they make something like that already? :confused:

Border Racing Induction Intake...

http://www.amzperformance.com/z32/shop_image/product/090b743045cc8f2ce36c5d1ed18cf154.jpg

Something like that should not be too hard to fabricate... add two BLITZ SUS intakes and you are set!

Nice... now make me one!


Don't they make something like that already? :confused:

They should, then I could have a rattle-rattle-POW to go along with my Pssssssssss when I purge my spray and the whinnnnnnnn of the supercharger. If I could get'em all in sync. with each other have my own band.

:lol: Albert that would be something...

Im thinking of fabricating parts again... We used to have a small business making parts for some of the local guys... If I get back into it, I'd be down to send out a few Zed airboxs to the ZedEx Crew (small price of course, these things do cost some money to make)

... We'll see.

-Wes

That would be a cool idea, Wes... as soon as I start taking my Welding Class, maybe I can help out too!

im not paying money for anything you built with your 2 hands...:lol: just joking Georgy!!! :D

anyways, you guys will never believe what UPS dropped off today...:evillol:
