    Can U Identify this?

    It goes on the drivers door handle on the inside near the lock somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find where it plugs in. I have poured through the TSRM trying to find it, I even took the passenger door panel off to spot it on that side, but there doesn't appear to be one on the...

    The Carnage Thread

    My '87 has never had a dent or scratch ever...til my neighbor backed in to it right in front of my house a couple of weeks ago (sigh...oh well) . I had just finished detailing my Supra and was looking out my living room window admiring it. I watched in horror as my neighbor backed his Jeep...

    homemade fpd kit

    No shit! This modification has been around forever and and is hardly patentable. Geez...the guy is just trying to save a buck and do it himself, I thought the point of a forum is to exchange knowledge and ideas as well as tech info. I think some people just troll the site looking for...

    Cage installed....(partly NWS)

    Nice cage. I'm living in Southern California, so I barely noticed the girl. We have plethora of 'em like that. Ok, she was pretty hot.

    LED JDM tail lights are finished! Lots of photos

    I've been following your LED project since the old threads (a year or so ago?) on it. It's good to see it finished. Good follow through. Looks great!

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Guys, look how pitiful the contact area is: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff190/mkIIIsupratom/Nissanbrakes002.jpg It looks like the rotor is wearing a yamaka. This has been penciled out and discussed at length many times. I can appreciate wanting to have better brakes, but...

    7M Monster will be back soon

    Pretty impressive for a mass produced motor of any kind.

    Most bullet proof rods

    It just occured to me where I had heard of Pauter rods before. As I recall (and it's been awhile) they were the hot set-up for the VW type III and IV motors back in the day when California look bugs etc. were popular on the street and strip and with the sandrail guys too.

    Good point about oil "flow". I, like many (I suspect)...tend to think only in terms of oil pressure with little thought and/or understanding of flow. I am curious though, what pressure would you expect to see on a motor with the mods you mentioned and the Pauter rods with the oil grooves...

    Most bullet proof rods

    I like the idea of the oil grooves on the cheek of the big end of the rod on the Pauter's, and I agree the oil flow upward is a very good thing. Any ideas on how this will affect oil pressure in a car that (let's face it) isn't known for it great pressure/oiling? What are we talking about...

    What made you want to abandon the Crower's? Were they the Crower "pro series" 4340 steel billet rods? I know the Pauter's are well respected around here, but I have had great luck w/ Crower in other applications, so they came right to mind when I first considered upgrading the con-rods...

    average pricing and labor for replacing fully assembled pumpkin

    Yeah that's ridiculous. I've done it in around 3 hours or so and I'm not famous for being super quick. It's not that tough at all.

    Is this ECU upgraded?

    I've gotta go pull an ecu out of my garage, but off the top of my head I'd say there looks to be some work done on your ecu on the top half right in the center and going up, and then again on the right side where there appears to be some white glue stick goo. It's been a while since I looked...

    Anyone with a roof mounted bike rack?

    Too much of a hassle to get the wheels off on a mountain bike w/ suspension. And then after you ride and your all beat up, you have to do it again to get it home. That's why I put mine in my pick up

    Most bullet proof rods

    Better than Crower "pro series" 4340 steel billet rods? Remember, I said toughest, most abusable.

    Most bullet proof rods

    That's it. Im running stock rods that have been shot peened. They haven't blown through the block and out the hood, or through the oil pan and stuck in the ground yet, but on my next motor I'm gonna spring for nice connecting rods and I wanted to get your guys opinion on who makes the most...
