Off-Topic Thread...

Yo rocker...I just posted about the challenger a few posts above...

i'm pretty sure that 'limo' z31 is a photoshop.. but that engine... man oh man that's pretty insane... it'd have to be drag only tho.. too many things that scream drag to me to say otherwise.... and they still have the radiator in the stock position, which i guess is required for that kind of setup, but i'm wondering how big of an ic they can run with a setup like that... but yeah, that thing is MEAN. and at least the o2 sensor would be easy to change :p

i don't really like the look of the rear end of the challenger... looks weird with the single bar or lights across the back...

i too have been wondering where georgy went... he had no excuse not to be here, jason on the other hand sort of does..... sort of.. lol:p

well the single bar is okay, but tha'ts how they used to look back in the 70s so go figure...


yea, Georgey was in Vegas...

what they don't have computers in vegas? he couldn't take 5 minutes to say hi? pffff

^true dat

Really with a few carbon fiber body panels and a lexan windshield you could turn an Atom into a proper car for all weather use. Shouldn't add more than fifty pounds or so, not enough to put a dent in the cars capabilities.

No... I didn't even get a chance to go to Vegas after all.... just really fucking busy! Did ya bitches miss me???


It January! That means my Z32 Project is taking off!

HAHAHAHA! we miss georgy??? thats a good one.

Hehe... yer jus' jealous 'cus no-one noticed that you were on vacation that while back. Hahahaha! ;)

sup bitches

What the fuck are they thinking? Nissan + "Pimp My Ride" = URGE

^IDK why but that reminds me of the smart cars

looks like a poorly done ripoff of the ATOM 2....

what amperage does the z32's alternator put out? i thought it was 90 amps the same as the maxima's alt? i know the z31's are at 70 amps, but i thought they improved that... oh well

they didnt improve one the altenator. i remember when my altenator went out i was recommended by someone to switch over to a maxima one.

pwns all other engine shots in this entire thread.

*yawn* it's just a shiny n/a..... too much paint if you ask me.... all show and no go... especially considering it couldn't even run in that state...

^damn!!! who'se is that n.e. ways?

You could not be more wrong if you had a nuclear powered wrong machine. That is a Twin Turbo Z belonging to none other to Z god Ash Powers. He has tweaked his ride to perform like no other Z has ever performed before. He cast his own electric water pump, double pass radiator, upsized his entire intake pipe system, made his own intercoolers and much more, naturally, all on his own.

You will be whipped for your insolence. Beg the mighty Ash for forgiveness and your life might be spared.

meh, didn't look close enough to see the 'dett' on the cover thingy... z32's don't interest me that much anymore

meh?!?!?! have fun with your Z31 that couldnt even come close to touching Ash's Z.

that's alright, neither can you ;)

that's alright, neither can you ;)

AH HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!!!

OWNEEEEEEEEEEEEED LIKE A MOOOOOOOOOOTHER FUCKER!!!

Now now now...no need to get all in the "bashing spirit", freak. We've all been here done the "what's better, Z31 or Z32" argument...why argue with allies?

Ya know...after looking at that page you posted, Broke, it seems to me like that guy is just trying to go into the stratosphere of nit-picking. It's cool and all, but it's not really my thing. I'm SURE it'll be bad ass when it's done...don't get me wrong, but it's just taken to an extent far beyond what *I* would do...

that's alright, neither can you ;)

thats not my point. my point is that what you were saying made it seem like you dont care, all you care about is Z31's.

Pffft. Everyone knows Z31's bow down to Z32's....




;)

:rofl: We really need not start this...:rofl:

Pffft. Everyone knows Z31's bow down to Z32's....

strong words comming from a guy who drives a girl z... hmmmm :icon16:



j/k with ya buddy... z31s and z32s all have their uses.

alright, yeah ash is a good guy, knows a lot about cars and tuning them.. i'm not saying anything bad about him or his car... it's pretty damn sweet in fact.... i'm just saying i'm more interested in z31's... that's all

oohhhhnnnllllyyyyy 1 more!!!

4000 bitches w00t!

*see shout-out on frappr*

so freak did you end up goin with the maxima alt. in the Z ? and did it bolt right in ?

-btw. do any of you guys know how to check the clearances and spacing to make sure the TBs are syncronized ? i might need to check those damn stopper screws that stop the arms from rotating closed too far. ......etc... [rambles on and on about all the things i need to work on....]

what kind of belts does the z32 use for that stuff? is it the v-band or serpentine(sp?) belts? if it's one of the two you might have to swap it to the other... i can't remember which one tho... my mind's shot at the moment....

maybe get someone to press on the throttle after yanking off the intake piping and look at them :D

i didnt switch to the maxima altenator. decided to just play it safe and go with the oem one.

Dammit all to hell...my drunk ass changed my e-mail account's password last night and now I forgot what the fuck it is...son of a bitch...

hahaha, thats hilarious.

ROFL you changed your password... well luckily for you, today in psych class, we learned that you're more likely to remember something when you are in the same state you were in at the time... be it drunk, high, deperessed, etc.. so what I"m saying is, get drunk again and try to remember, and if you do, try to write it down .

Dammit all to hell...my drunk ass changed my e-mail account's password last night and now I forgot what the fuck it is...son of a bitch...

i wish i was that smrt!

i really REALLY hope he drives over a puddle in 1st at a high rpm.... ugh

Vodka works...

OMG. it looks like 300zxclub.com here now.

wow, this is a sudden change...

Anyway, a while back the 3.3L supercharged version of the VG motor (as found in a 2001 Nissan Frontier) was brought up as a swap alternative for non-turbo owners. I don't recall ever seeing any pictures of this mounting ever posted so here you go.

Unless you are going to take a buzz saw and cut one hell of a hole in your hood, you can kiss getting that thing in there good bye.

If all goes well, I'll have my new 2+2 w/in a week... bring on the panties ladies

HA...rock on, Rocker.

If all goes well, I'll have my new 2+2 w/in a week... bring on the panties ladies

SWEET! What color? Year?

^I have three in mind, one's a 1990 2+2 that's dark blue, the other one's a 93 white 2+2, and the last is a 90' 2+2 (but the guy wants 8 grand, and it's not even worth that much)... I wanted to get another z31 turbo, but my mom wouldn't let me get a car unless it had an airbag so, I decided I'd get a 2+2, leave it n/a for now, and than TT it later.

Oooooooooooh how much would this SUUUUUUUUUUCK?!

I'd be SO fucking pissed. Look at the first dude that goes out there with a fire extinguisher. BOY he looks like he's in a hurry, DOESN'T HE!? It takes TEN MINUTES for an actual fire truck to show up and relieve the "doushe crew" (what I've 'lovingly' named the idiots in the khaki pants and pretty blue polo shirts). Who the fuck are those guys, anyway? You CAN'T TELL ME that the closest thing an actual drag stip like that has as far as a fire response team is a bunch of doushe bags in khaki pants and dress shirts, running around with off the shelf fire extinguishers, not even looking like they know how to work them.

If these idiots gave a shit or, at LEAST, if a truck showed up SOMEWHAT quickly, it might not have been a complete loss like it was. Would anyone ELSE be pissed at this situation!?

GREAT EDITING!

Plus, any time ANYONE says anything about small displacement engines, show them that. That's a modded Z06, the top dog of the V-8 domestic world, vs a modded 4 banger and that little turbocharged 4 banger is hanging RIGHT WITH him...even GAINING on him at times...incredible. I love turbos. Technology's amazing, huh?

^I have three in mind, one's a 1990 2+2 that's dark blue, the other one's a 93 white 2+2, and the last is a 90' 2+2 (but the guy wants 8 grand, and it's not even worth that much)...

If your parents are gonna make you get a car with air-bags then most likely the '90's are out of the question! You wanna stay away from '90's anyway... the '93 is probably a better choice... plus it's not a gay color like dark-blue.:wink:

Dude...rocker...how much do your parents REALLY KNOW about cars?! Get WHAT EVER YOU WANT, MAN! Like they'll REALLY be able to TELL!? Just take any definative badging off...would they REALLY know? In the beginning, I probably could have told my mom my car was made by Jeep and she wouldn't have known the difference...

Yea...I'm watching "Rumrunners and Moonshiners" on the History Channel (and drinking...how appropriate?). How is it that everything used to be so friggin cool. Everything is so fuckin up-tight now.

The moonshiners used to make two times more money in a month than an average person made in a YEAR.

The river between Michigan and Canada would freeze over and people would buy cheap ass Model-Ts and DRIVE them across to canada, who modified their laws from a ban on alcohol to an "export only" law, and drive back with some of the good shit. Even when the river wasn't frozen, dudes would ROW OVER, pull up to the dock, order a few cases of ________*insert illegal liquor here*, "where are you headed", "cuba" (HAAAA), and NO ONE GAVE A SHIT! Everything was SO LAX back then. Anything went, no one bothered you.

Sure...this was also the time of gangsters (REAL "OGs" you yuppie rap pussy mother fuckers!!!), the St. Valentine's Day Massacre (ever seen pics of THAT shit? Quite a mess.), and other such un-mentionables, but I just think it was such a less uptight, political time.

I hate modern culture, on the other hand. Politics, politics, politics. So fucking irritating.

Wanna watch something else that's REALLY COOL!? Watch "Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way". GREAT series of shows illustrating various drugs (something I have a major facination of for some reason, even though I've never really done any), their creation/discovery, their uprising, how they were eventually outlawed, and the current battle against them. Very, very cool stuff. The one that talks about MDMA (E) is highly recommended. If you can watch that episode and not think that MDMA should, in at LEAST SOME form, be legal, you're crazy...lol.

As a final note, why does a car guy give a shit about rumrunners and prohibition and all that? Well this era should be in ALL car guy's studies. Why do you think they were called rum-"RUNNERS" and "MOONSHINERS"? Rum-"RUNNERS" cuz they literally had to RUN the rum from here to there to sell it and make money. The term "Moonshiner" came from how most of this "running" was done under the light of the moon. This was ---<THE>--- beginnings of automotive modification...including the pioneering of forced induction, of which I love. This was even where nascar CAME from...people that were rumrunning moonshiners at night RACED their (STOCK) cars during the day. These are the roots of nascar. I hate nascar, but it's still cars...

STUDY, GUYS!!!! KNOW THE PAST TO BE ABLE TO BETTER LIVE IN THE FUTURE!

K...I'm done rambling...time for another XXX.

I seen that moon-shine episode awhile back... kinda cool. Funny thing is that is one of the reasons why NASCAR was born...

plus it's not a gay color like dark-blue.:wink:

you will die a slow and painful death.
