One more thing, IF and thats a big IF the Skyline was such an awesome car why is it I don't see anyone with copius amounts of money in the US driving one in the One Lap Of America. Here's a link so you can get a true perception of what the World's REAL awesome street cars are. Dont get me wrong...

Dark, my friend ya missed my point and you obviously don’t know much about cars in General. What I was saying was even the little guy with very few dollars can have a car that handles as good as a Skyline and just as fast for much less money. Since most people here fit that category those were...

Its the only sport I've watched since I was a kid, the rest I wanna play not just watch....Go Schuuuuuuuuuuu

I suggest Never disconnecting the Positive Battery Cable while a car is running ( Huge Spark) due to this is how sparks are created and batteries that may be leaking can explode. The voltage regulator protects against voltage spikes, peakes. The proper way to test is this. Once the car is...

In that case I'll take a stock Chevrolet Z06 and watch you in my rear view mirror on any track, course, or strip. :)

You'd be suprised what two sway bars, decent springs, shocks, and a set of goodyear Eagle F1's can do. Don't think for a second that ole grandmas caddy cant handle, true I doubt the skyline could lose to a set up caddy in handling, BUT there are fifty zillion others cars out there that with the...

Re: the almighty skyline Nothing like a $90,000 13 second performance car. Or whatever the importer charged for a US conversion. Holy Mola Mala, for 90K I could make any car do 11 second quarters, including grandma's 70 coupe deville, and 13 is all ya get for 90k? that aint right.......LOL

Here's a good one for ya, The Professor Teaches About Evil and Christianity "LET ME EXPLAIN THE problem science has with Jesus Christ." The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. "You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"...

Go to sparkplugs.com and do a search for your year and model, and all the plugs with numbers will come up. Then all you need to do is buy what you want either locally of from them. Rick

One thing to keep in mind if your in pursuit of Mpg’s is tire air pressure The higher the pressure the less rolling resistance, but the tire wears out in the center due to ballooning. Also stock width tires are going to give you the best Mpg’s, the wider they are the more rolling friction there...

Mines a daily driver too, paid 3k and had 127K miles. In the 4 years Ive owned it the original engine got up to 177K miles before a bhg so I put in a JDM and its running great. I don't think I could own a car that wasn't a daily driver if it's sport type car. The car I sold to buy my 89 N/A was...

Lagged, Amen to that GET JACK STANDS. I also know that there will be those who can't afford them or just can't get their hands on some, so tires under the edges can save your life, that’s all I was addressing. Here in So Cal over the years you can't imagine how many folks have squished...

And if yas aint got no jack stands put your tires half way underneath the cars edges so that they can keep You from becoming Very thin in the Event the jack fails. Rick

The chart on this page at Goodyear shows you the recommened rim sizes for most popular tire sizes. The chart shows a 255/45-16 fit's a rim between 8" and 9 1/2" so the fact a 50 series tire will be just a little taller shouldn't be an issue. Rick...

I run goodyear F1's 245/50-16" all the way around and at the goodyear site the minimum rim size for that size tire is 7" which is what our stock sawblades are I believe. So to run 255's may be outside the limits. If you go to tirerack.com and read the Reviews people write about all the tires...

I run 245/50-16 Goodyear Eagle F1's all the way around I picked this size for two reasons. First They were taller than stock size so I get better take offs from a stop and better MPG on the freeway. Second They have 8.4" of tread on the ground and pull the sidewalls in a bit so if I run over...

89 N/A here also.

One more point on heli-coils, in the aerospace industry loctiting the heli-coil in is pretty much standard. It makes it far less likely to come out when removing bolts. Use a cotton swab with some acetone to remove the excess loctite in the threads once the loctites has had sufficient time to...

Aaron your right Loctite wont work on nuts and bolts that see high temps unless you pay the big bucks and buy the aerospace grades made for this purpose. I was trying to say that no nut or bolt should go in dry, as far as exhaust nuts and bolts go the Anti-Seize is the way to go, Loctite for...
