    Hit the track tonight, a bit disapointed

    More a sarcastic title... I was very disappointed until the last runs (14.301 and then 14.290) would however like to hit high 13's I feel once the motor mounts are in and I can launch the car and I get more practice in this car (first time the maxima was at the track) I can pull high 13's (This...

    New lesson learned

    Not to butt in about fast cars...:aigo: Ok... I am not making this to sound cocky what so ever.... I own an 02 Maxima SE 6-Speed (VQ35) I have raced both the 2.5 Altima, and the Sentra Spec V, and well ok maybe they have some pick-up to them... but *shakes head* I sorta find it funny a...

    hole behind the head?

    looking at the TSRM it looks to be the EGR cooler that is missing if he says there is a hole, since technically all the images I have seen show no holes unless the EGR cooler is missing... does that sound accurate to everyone?

    hole behind the head?

    If anyone would be able to supply pictures of the rear end of the head that would be probably the easiest, as I coudl e-mail them to my mechanic and from there he can point out what part he was talking about and also get a better view of it.

    hole behind the head?

    just talked to the owner of the car before me... he said the head was manufactured. Fits US Spec. He is pretty sure the EGR is on the car... now I don't have my supra here to feel around but with my parts car I put my hand behind it (1988 is in the shop, 1986.5 is sitting at home) and feeling...

    egr removal?

    EGR was put on engines to help with exhaust. What it does is recycle exhaust back into the engine. It routes from the manifold back into the engine as a way of recycling. I cut my EGR off of my probe and welded it shut on the actual engine and this was the outcome not that you can...

    hole behind the head?

    My Supra is at the mechanics. He noticed behind the head (left side exhaust side) there is a hole facing directly towards the firewall. I felt behind there on my project car and it seems to just be a hole filled with a screw but I was wondering if anyone could give me more insight to what...

    Directions From New York City to Paris

    And when you actually decide the service plans are worth it and your headunit / TV / Computer / Camera or whatever break and you lost your receipt and got rid of your CC you bought it all on, and we can't find you in the system, nor do you have any paperwork you will cry (I work at Best Buy)

    Is a 1JZ-GTE U.S legal?

    Simple answer is... everything we do to our cars could be called illegal... plain and simple... all of the mods on my maxima (performance wise) are for off road use ONLY... simply put, we are all going to jail :(

    Is a 1JZ-GTE U.S legal?

    I am not going to pretend to know anything about supra's as I just got my first one but... nm, on my statement, sorry about that, I was under the impression in 88 - 89? in america the supra had a 1JZ as an option, then leading into the 2JZ for the MK4, my apology, but still :-D statement...

    Is a 1JZ-GTE U.S legal?

    technically... dont any laws enforced after the year your car was released apply only to those cars before the act... i.e buy a 1988 1JZ supra at your local toyota dealer... have it for 3 years (released late 87). This 1990 law you state is passed, you go to get your car tested... and what it...

    Body Trim

    See, it isn't so much about getting the OEM side trim, it is more so I just dont see myself finding any good quality side trim, if I am wrong in that aspect I might continue my search (was looking at the for sale section), but I like the look at that supra without the side trim... to each their...
