Gorilla tape is cheap enough if you're really worried about the price...

My mistake, thanks for the correction. The FE motors were generally focused on lower end torque and efficiency, which is what matters more in a DD anyway. The 3sFE and 5SFE were also used in certain Celicas. Not the best for space, but also good, durable cars. That's the one I would want to...

Smart dog haha, it's got a nose for good fruit. :p I was just speaking of my little corner of the state, the rest of the place is beautiful, except along most of I80, that seems to be the source of ugly around Wyoming. North-west side is beautiful, but cold. North-east side is decent for...

The Roadster is the holy grail of Datsuns? Odd... I would have figured it would be the S30 240z. I guess to each their own, but I don't think they've ever topped that car, in 40 years now, they have yet to come up with better in my eyes anyway.

I never understood those people Andy, if I were wealthy enough for someone else to be buying cars for me, I'd probably be spending as much time as I could in HPDE's and classes...

All I did with mine was literally pull the brackets that came off the 7m ecu, and put them on the 1j ecu (took me a second to get them in the right positions), and it bolted right up like stock. :)

Relocating even the stock battery should help a good bit with getting weight off the front. Plus, lithium based batteries are WAY expensive for that sort of duty, at least for now. Man, are you going to hate my car. :p

I approve man... good ol' lag jokes! :)

If I were in the market for something with a lot of space, the Camry Wagon was the first thing to come to my mind. If I'm not mistaken, they were 4AGE powered, those things go foreeeeeeeever. Unfortunately, finding one might be tricky, but fortunately, that's where Subaru comes in handy. Pretty...

Your dogs eat fruit too? I thought my parent's boxer was an oddball in that respect. Fat (well, formerly, he's lost weight) dog, but eats fruit quite a bit. Thing just LOVES bananas, watermelon, etc... I agree though, sweat and labor of your own often make for the best spice (next to hunger of...

Given how light they are, I'd recommend an SR16 or 20DE, the VL (I think that's what Nissan called them) were some pretty sweet little motors, right up there with the 3sge Beams engines. ;)

Actually, it's the old lady that's wanting the Mk4... as much as I would love to have one myself, I suspect that by the time my Mk3 is done, I will have built, in my eyes, a well balanced and mean-as-a-snake car as a Supra can be without breaking the bank. I've got my eyes set on a handling...

Holy cow, someone else actually understands how to mount it in a L-H-D car too! Making me proud Andy, but seems like he's talking about a RHD car in this case, which is kinda backwards from the usual question about this that we get here... You would need the stock brackets that were used on the...

I had completely forgotten about that, that's right...the JZGTE cams use a sensor that picks up cam revolutions where the GE engines use a distributor gear. Thanks for the correction Andy, I feel kinda forgetful sometimes. :) Yeah, but when is buying cams ever a bad idea?:evil2:

I got mine from Horsepowerfreaks.com. Seems they no longer carry it though, I bought mine 4 years ago, it's been a while. From the sounds of it, I will be keeping it if they cost that much... I would still try calling HPF to see if they can maybe order one in for you. Might be worth your time to...

Just curious why you guys have stored your cars with the headlights up? I know they can be left like that, if I remember the owners manual correctly, it was to prevent your headlights from "freezing" in place and not being able to raise. Now, I've lived through temps that would make most people...

It's been beaten to death on here... the glass is the heavy part, not the hatch itself. Unless it's a style preference, your money is probably better spent elsewhere. Plus, pulling weight off a nose-heavy car before lightening up the front significantly... not the best of ideas from a handling...

Sounds good man, good luck to you with the Toyota thing. Maybe you can engineer some glass that makes people in trucks/suvs *think* they're driving faster than they are so they're not always riding my ass at (and even over) the limit. :p

And also hilarious! You know though, I wonder sometimes, if the Onion has writers on staff with CNN, Fox, MSN, etc... and like to throw some Onion in there once in a while...

Quick plot summary? If it's up my alley I'll check it out when I get home. :)
