Ha... I just got a buddy from EmpireZ to sell me his wing! $50! You know? That wing that you all hate? LoL

you are so friggin gay!!! your car is gonna look like poop. i say we all take a vote on whether or not Jorge should sell his car before he ruins it...F40 style wing with a single exhaust with a huge coffee can at the end. :rolleyes: j/k..do what you please (Z32 ruiner) :nono:

you better be freakin joking george... i'm with jason.. we need to get you to sell that thing before you ruin it!

If you knew what I knew then your heads would explode.


Oh yeah and 1via just wasted $50. Why don't you buy some dragon decals while you're at it?

F40 style wing, single exhaust with a coffee can hanging on the rear and a dragon decals.........is that rice I smell cooking?

you can get a swift kick in the ass if you hop a flight illinois!!! :lol:

how in the hell do you start a gallery on AF??? i cant find anything where i can start a gallery. imageshack isnt working for me...and there was another one that Jorge told me to use and it said my address that i live at didnt exist. no they were not asking for me email address...they wanted my home address.

EDIT: nevermind, i figured out but i still cant host them because they are too big. i will try to cut them down later...

need to be under 80 kb which is gay but understandable.. usually around 600x600 pixels depending on the colour count.. or whatever you call it

I didn't know AF had a gallery...shows you how much I know...

so guys how about a dry sump VG ????? now i know what a dry sump motor is (some of u prolly dont) and why its used and what its benifits are, but taking that all aside, how sweet would it be to convert a ...oh idk TT motor before i do my TT swap to dry sump..........i know i wouldnt be able to mount the motor lower whick is a big reason for dry sump, but it would still get me like 20 HP and the cool factor would be insane..............im lookin into it LOL ....what do u guys think, and no im not really goin to do it but tis a cool idea

I'll be the first to post whore...

:D

I think a dry sump lubrication wouldnt be worth the cost unless your car can pull close to a G on the skid pad then yeah. But my is question who manufactures a dry sump lube for a VG motor?

Dry sump oil system is and always be the best way to oil an engine. Oil for a engine is very criticial, and by dry sumping the engine you control this process by providing mass amounts of oil to all needed points, but the problem is with the large amounts of oil provided to the engine it needs to be scavanged (returned) to the oil tank hitting the crank. Most dry sump systems have 4 pumps. 1 for the pressure system and 3 for scavanging. 1 scavanging pump in the oil pan and 2 in the valve covers. In older high performance as is newer engines with conventional oil systems a windage tray was used and helped, but the drysump oil system is much more superior.

I'm getting the wing bitches....

I'm getting the wing bitches....
fine, friggin ricer Z32!!! :lol:

hmm dry sump...i have done a little research but to advanced when you asked me the first time. but anyways, why havent you turned one of your VG's into a dry sump oil system???

How does that wing make me a ricer? I could see that if I was gonna get this huge aluminum erector set wing... lots of cars like the Supra, Eclipse, EVO, and STI have huge wings! are those rice cars... it just so happens I think that the wing goes perfect with the Z's, especially the 2+2's, body lines.

yes, they are sort of rice, but that doesnt count because they come stock with the wing...your adding the wing on as an upgrade. :lol: im just joking with you Jorge, i personally dont care. as long as you have the power to make a good use for that park bench your putting on the back of your car. i seriously could sit on that wing and be perfectly comfortable...

It looks almost stock on a Z32... I think it looks good and it could be very functional when I'm on the hi-way. Plus if I'm getting rid of my back seat and othe misc. junk in my rear it may aslo help. I've always loved that wing... you suck, Jason! :P

and its highway not hi-way, friggin' idiot, gawd!!! *napoleon dynamite's voice* :lol:

i love that movie...friggin' awesome

anyways, that wings ugly...you will probably have upforce instead of downforce with that thing. it will make your car look like the original Wright Brother's plane. friggin kite!!! :D

TINA COME GET SOME HAM YOU FAT LARD!

the only complication id have with drysumping my VG is getting the pulley to power the pumps, finding a way o mount another cog would be one hella fun headache, and as for the resevoir (sp) id prolly just move the battery and mount it there. i just know that those pumps that r used are a good 600 bux, plus everythin else id need, but gosh it would be cool.......when im rich

just do it and stop talking about it...it wont be that bad. just tear her down and then build it. then call it the VG30DETT Blueprint Project.

BTW:
i think it was ----> "Tina, come get some dinner, you fat lard!!!"


"A freaking 12 guage...what do ya think!!!" :lol:

just do it and stop talking about it..

im talking about it cuz first of all this is an off topic thread and it doesnt matter what we talk about,and if someone that knows more than me can give a little input that would help thats the whole point

K3- keep us posted on your 5-speed conversion and TT swap

Use an exsisting belt to drive it....no biggie.

look at him go

Putt...bang.put.put.....bang.put.....bang.....I think I have a problem.

i know i was just joking around with you. i think it would be awesome for you to create a dry sump VG. you have the means and equipment at your disposal...now just to get some money gathered together. hm...


K3- keep us posted on your 5-speed conversion and TT swap

will do...i was trying to post pics of everything i have received so far, but i cant none of the hosts are working. the only one i can get to work for me is AF and my pictures are too big for it. ill figure something out...my basement smells like my garage and i love it. :lol:

anyways, i shall be receiving my intercoolers any day now. and i will probably be ordering my intercooler piping and radiator in a few more days. i really am just on hold for me to find time to get my n/a drivetrain pulled out...once that is out and sold, i will be buying my motor and if that stuff doesnt sell the project well be on hold for abotu another month until i can come up with the money for the TT motor.

well that is my outline for the next few weeks...i will keep you guys updated.

i got a question for someone, is it possible to pull the motor and auto tranny together??? my service manual says, for the automatic, i have to take the trans. out first then the motor but for manual trannies you can pull them at the same time. why is this??? just the extra weight of the automatic makes it more difficult or is the auto tranny just a tad more bulky???

no, YOU suck, biatch!!!

anyways, that wings ugly...you will probably have upforce instead of downforce with that thing. it will make your car look like the original Wright Brother's plane. friggin kite!!! :D

Screw you... :p

That's what a rear diffuser is for, fucktard... :cwm27: Live with it, Jason... I'm getting the damn wing wether you like it or not! I like it... that's all that matter's. Right, Mr. 19-inch wheels? :rofl:

k3 just shrink them in ms paint

hey i didnt shop around before i got my wheels and i wanted 18's but i ended up settling for a $2500 wheel and tire set for $1600...my bad, byatch!!! anyways, i dont have those anymore. :D

so let me get this straight...your gonna have a rear splitter, single exhaust, and a garage roof on the back of your car. what are you going for here??? storage space or a Z32 cargo plane??? :lol:

k3 just shrink them in ms paint

dell is stupid and all that stuff expired so to use most of the features including sizing i have to order the program for like $30...


on other news: i received my intercoolers today!!! they are in really good condition so that is one item knocked off the list...getting closer!!!

guess what i looked at earlier this week!!! its been sitting for years in the same spot and i finally stopped and asked about it. it was a 240z that obviously needed a little work but overall it was in great shape for the age. a little rust but nothing a grinder and bondo cant take care of. hit it with a fresh coat of paint and prepare it for a RB swap...im really thinking about it fellas. maybe i will pick it up later this year after i get rid of a couple cars and get myself financially straightened out. i want a project 240Z and this one was a very good candidate...

You don't want to pull either with the trans attached. Look in your engine bay. What are you thinking?


If that isn't simple enough for you:

It will take you 5 minutes to take the trans off from under the car.

It would take you a special engine hoist setup and an extra hour or better to pull it all at once.

gotcha, thanks broke. i was going to drop teh trans out first then the motor but then i happened to look in the service manual and says for the manual tranny, remove radiator and fan assembly and then pull both while attached. i will just un-bolt the trans from the motor, not a problem. was it a very time consuming process for you broke??? have you had any other experience??? from a scale 1-10, how difficult would you rate it, 10 being the most difficult??? just trying to get an idea...

Get it, Jason! Before it's too late! I kick myself in the ass daily for not picking up this Z31 Turbo at a neighbors house... he ended up selling it for $800 not running.... D'oh!

yeah im hoping its still there in late summer. im sure it will because its been sitting there for a couple years. this is just the first time i have stopped to look at it. i hope guys...i got to get rid of a few things and get myself a dailydriver car before i even think about buying another porject car. we will see...im going to look at audi's tonight...im hoping to find a nice S4 in the near future but im just looking tonight to see if i like how they drive and what not. :D

you guys might say this is f'n stupid but i think it's freaking amaaaaaazing... i'm pretty sure the blue car is an audi a4 but i'm not sure what the chase car is.. either way it's flippin unreal driving in this

It took a day at a slow pace, bagging up all the parts and labeling everything. I had done alot of prep work as far as unbolting/connecting various things to see how much of what was attached where. A concentrated effort over a weekend should be all you need time wise.

Once everything you can reach is disconnected it's actually more or less a straight pull up and out. I did it without dropping the front cross member and that may have added some time there but it will save alot in the long run since I don't have to reassemble the front suspension. There were only a few sticking points, none of them really major, the biggest of which was the boost tube running off the compressor to the intercooler, and that was a pain just because it was hard to get to.

alright, thanks broke. doesnt sound bad at all..i wont have to worry about that boost tube until i go to put it in and in that case it should be all that bad...

guess what fellas...i bought myself a new car for my daily driver. i got a great deal. its a 2000 2 door black GTP supercharged...its pretty quick and its in prestine condition. i was looking for audi's and i came across this grand prix...its all about boost baby. i think im gonna keep my 86 and finish fixing it up and eventually put a rb20 in it...

but for right now, i have a trustworthy daily driver car so i can relax on the swap and take my time and do it right the first time. :thumbsup:

BTW: i hope you guys arent upset that i went american and got a pontiac but you ahve to admit they are nice cars. :D

that's alright jason, those are pretty fun cars... drove one around back when i was working at ford and they're pretty speedy... is yours the one with the hud on it? that's a neat little option, i wouldn't mind seeing if i could hook one up for the 300zx...

yeah it has that feature...your talking about where the MPH, radio, and turn signals shine on the windshield so you can see whats going on without looking down. yeah, its cool but during the day its kind of glary so i scroll it down. anyways, this thing is loaded...first newer car i ahve ever owned. i love it...leather, cd, all that good stuff. not to mention the 3.8L series 2 supercharged motor...240hp and 280ft/lbs of torque. its faster than my n/a i am pretty sure. atleast from 0-60...my n/a will probably catch it after that. anyways, Twin Turbo Swap!!!! :lol:

Pontiac? Booooooo! LoL Well, as long as you aren't gonna go all modified domestic on me it's okay, Jason...

...you aren't are you......................?

Fucking sucks... raining like crazy over here and alot of the streets are flooding. I hit this huge ass puddle and it ripped the bottom of my fascia off. It's only hanging by a small peice of plastic. Shit! I bought some fiber-glass body repair stuff and hopefully it doesn't start raing again so I can fix it and go to ESCORT Racing's BBQ! I wanna take some pix of that Drag Z32 for you guys...


On a lighter note... at least now I have a valid excuse to pick up a JDM Fascia to go along with my 747 wing (bitches!!!!!)! Wooohooo!




Hey... I haven't seen Jared lately. Wes isn't in here too often either.... fags. I miss 'em. This place isn't the same without 'em.

nah, not anytime soon. if i ever do, its not gonna be like all 450hp GTP or nothing. it will just be like a little mod work...exhaust, headers, intake, supercharger pulley. thats about it...maybe some wheels. right now im happy with it and it is a perfect car for me. its all about the BOOST baby...whether its coming from a supercharger or a turbocharger, its great. :evillol:

Lalallalalalallalalalallalalalallala

I am sleeeeeeeeepy

wouldn't that be pissing on eachother?

Pix! Pix!


sorry, no can do...i had to give the digital camera back because my friend wanted it back. i should be getting a new one in a little while...

woohoo!! just picked up a cone filter offa ebay.. 9" mac k&n filter for 35 bucks after shipping... not bad if you ask me:D now once that arrives i'll put on the new throttle body and hopefully that'll give the old gal a bit more getup.. i'll see if i can take pictures and stuff, maybe write up a tutorial on the tb swap for any of the newbies that wanna do it

i just bought $200 worth of tools today...sears was having a blowout sale in the tools department. yeah baby!!!

also, if anyone lives in the chicago area, there is a wal-mart car service center going out of business and they are selling all of their big equipment. like full car lifts and things...id love to have one of those in my garage but i bet they wont let one of those things go for less than a couple thousand. anyways, all the wheel balancer and tire remover machines are being sold. im going up there next weekend if i find out exactly where its at and try to get me a nice tool chest. :D

what's the best method for polishing aluminum? eg my wheels... i'v got some steel wool, and i was thinking about using that to polish em up.. don't have any fine grit sandpaper at the moment, so i was kind of hoping i could use the steel wool... think that'd damage the aluminum in any way? it sort of looks like there's a finish or polish on em, but they're gettin pretty ugly from all the roadsalt spots and such.. my center caps are peeling paint too, i wonder if those are repaintable :p

i doubt steel wool will do anything but scratch them...probably need to sand it with a very fine grit and then buff the hell out of it. and the centercaps are plastic arent they??? they will probably need repainted...

i would wet sand them with a fine grit and then get some VHT graphite color paint and give them a charcoal silver color and then go over them with a couple coats of clear coat to bring out that shine...:D

Saw something you Hardcore Naturally Aspirated guys would have creamed over :lol:

I was at work, bringing carts in... When I heard a throughty rumble, turned and looked... Dark Blue Zed32 with HUGE grape fruit shooters sticking out the valence.

I saw him park, and did a power walk over there to talk to him... He got out and I said 'How do you like the Fairlady?' to which he replied 'O I love it, it's my second one'

I sarcastically asked 'so what do you have done to it?' seeming as all I saw was the mufflers.

He said 'see for yourself'

Popped the hood... Wow... Fully built heads, ported, polished, extruded, honed upper and lower plenum, 555cc injectors, Injen intake, JWT ECU, headers (not sure of brand), underdrive pulleys, JE Pistons, and a straight back exhaust... He had the engine built for nitrous, and its in the works as of now. Over $14,000 into the engine alone...

He said its at about 400bhp (sounds a little high... But I didnt feel like calling him on it) and that its a fun car.

So I saw him when he was leaving the store as well... And I did the 'spin them up' motion with my hand... He said one second... And rolled out into traffic.

Took a left hand turn onto the next road, and tore the fuck off lighting the tires up through three gears... Thing was sputtering and backfiring the whole time, it gave me chills :evillol:

Awesome car... I've forgotten lately what a real car is... Good to be reminded once and a while.

sounds tight

sounds like a fucking sick car wes... would have loved to see that...
