Besides, the '65 needs to be driven... she's been speaking to me from storage - I hear her in my sleep... she really wants to live in Arizona!

Here ya go, Doc - The story on the 411: zerothread?id=421540

You put a 13B in ANYTHING bigger than a go-kart and I won't ever speak to you again.

I'm planning a run out to CA to meet up with Les Canaday, and we're now sponsoring the JCCS (great show, great people).

Gotta get the 63 and 67 done before JCCS next year... still working on the RB-into-S30 for my bride, and at some point, I need to finish the convertible.

I need a vacation.

p.s. I did the quiz. Yo.

[Speeddoctor]

That's awesome! Les was trying to sell some of his inventory.....and called me about two years ago when I was in the midst of the ex-thing...couldn't have been worst timing........

Before you even brought JCCS up, Homeboy and I spent an hour last nite tryin to get any info on whether there is a JCCS anymore or for 2010...Is there? When? Is their a link? Are they still makin that Japanese Nostalgia car magazine?..You are fortunate to live out WEst. we would love to go to that show!!!

You make me laugh about your position on the 13B!!!!!!!! wow!!!! so myopic!

Your projects sound awesome.... We took the 411 out yesterday. Takin the kids to school in it off and on. Just wakin up, gotta make bfast for the gang...but I'll check your 411 link. thx where r you quiz answers?

[Speeddoctor]

[AZhitman]

Homeboy and I spent an hour last nite tryin to get any info on whether there is a JCCS anymore or for 2010...Is there? When? Is their a link? Are they still makin that Japanese Nostalgia car magazine?..

JNC Magazine (I'm a "lifer"...): http://japanesenostalgiccar.co...=shop

Here's the event in SoCal - Note, we were a small sponsor in 09, and we're stepping it up BIG TIME for 2010: http://www.japaneseclassiccarshow.com/

You make me laugh about your position on the 13B!!!!!!!! wow!!!! so myopic!

I guess it's an OK motor... for a motorcycle. I like my motors to make power BELOW 6000 rpm.

A couple months ago, I came REAL close to picking this up - I knew you'd poop your pants, so I held off on the purchase:

thx where r you quiz answers?

1) True. Here's a clue for some of you... think of the following initials: O.S.G.2) I actually think it's from Roman mythology... 3) Japan. Remember, the V35 was released there almost 2 full years before it arrived here.

Bonus question:

Who owns the oldest Datsun: AZhitman or Speeddoctor?

There's my quiz answers.

[Speeddoctor]

Im gonna check ur links out. I think it great you are involved in the JCCS. Homeboy and I would like to come if possible.....Have a good day! SD

P.S. Tell Torre to try the quizes I know he from Georgia, but he might get one right here and there. .....and repo and audtatious...and the rev and wes and and and

[Speeddoctor]

Happy 2010 NICO-land!

Greg thanks for the links!!!!

The red wagon......It looks like a 300 series...but the rear looks weird..what is it? Where, in general is it?

[Speeddoctor]

[Speeddoctor]

Quiz over tomorrow

Speedoctor Quiz #2 Answers:

1. There was a "factory" cross flow head that was made in extremely low numbers for the factory race team. It was the result of research by both Yamaha and O.S. Giken.

2. The president if Nissan Japan in the 1950s Mr. Kawamata, chose some interesting names that didn't go well with American culture. Mr. K. was aware of this early on....Fairlady was chosen after the president saw "My Fairlady", in New York in 1958. Go figure.... The name Silvia was chosen by the same president....Silvia has a feminine latin root and means "of the forest".

3. The California design team gets credit for the body styling of the G series and employed some germanic qualities within. In fact, said design team really gets credit for turning Nissan's often laborious and confused designs that left both Infiniti and Nissan design's wanting. Nissan learned as have others, that great designs come from great minds. Design by comittee, usually doesn't work..There has to be a team leader who makes the final decisions and unifies the parts into a glorious whole.

Winners will be announced tomorrow. SD

Speeddoctor Quiz # 3:

1. What are the three data inputs that controlled the R33 GTR vspec's fore vs. aft power input?

2. What was the GTR RB 26 DETT's boost limited to by the factory? In psi?

3. Why was it limited to this, when in fact the factory ECU, injectors etc. could take twice the psi?

Good luck! SD

[xX RB Xx]

1. I would have to own an r33 to know that 2. 17.5 psi 3. because it was tooo much power !

[Speeddoctor]

I'm glad to see somebody else likes the santa icons even after Christmas!!! I still have my tree up. Do You?

[numbnuts240]

1. beats me.2. i'm going to guess 15 psi (~1 bar).3. gentlemen's agreement.

[DrifterXRPS13]

tito....tisk tisk...1bar=14.7psi...for shame.

[numbnuts240]

ah, you're right. for some reason it was in my head that 1 bar was 7.5 psi. so i want to say 1 bar, my psi is still the correct guess. op edited.

[DrifterXRPS13]

hehee...i figured you had just gotten your maf (ba-dum-bum-shhhhh) wrong

[Speeddoctor]

Ok: from the Speeddoctor quiz #2:

Eric S-14: 2.5 out of three correct

Ace2Cool: 2 out of 3 correct

[gmac708]

This looks like fun...just guessing...1.wheel speed, throttle position, brake pedal.2.12 PSI3.HP limited for safety and the better good of mankind (and trees).

[Speeddoctor]

GMAC708: not bad.

[Ace2cool]

Speeddoctor Quiz # 3:

1. What are the three data inputs that controlled the R33 GTR vspec's fore vs. aft power input?

2. What was the GTR RB 26 DETT's boost limited to by the factory? In psi?

3. Why was it limited to this, when in fact the factory ECU, injectors etc. could take twice the psi?

Good luck! SD

1. Wheel speed sensors/traction control, TPS, and G-force meter (kinda like on an airplane)2. ~12 psi3. Safety reasons (people don't need that kind of power) and possibly emissions, but that's doubtful.
Modified by Ace2cool at 4:16 PM 1/8/2010

[Tech_In_Training]

1 throttle position sensor, wheel speed sensor, and vehicle speed sensor

2 No idea

3 Street cars aren't allowed to be fast in japan.

[Speeddoctor]

ah the momentum is building!

[AZhitman]

1) Fore-and-aft G sensors, wheel sensors, and TPS

2) 1 bar

3) Gentleman's agreement (which they violated as early as 1989 with the first Q45).

[hannibal]

1) I'm guessing wheel speed, rpm, and tps

2) I dunno, but I guess 12psi

3) that 276hp agreement. This ones easy...

[Speeddoctor]

Wo ho!!!! Some late but great responses to Speeddoctor Quiz #3!!!!

1. 3 sensings units: a. Steering wheel position sensor b. 3 g sensors (lateral, fore and aft) c. rear wheel spin

2. 1 bar....(low).. If u had bought ur GTR at a Japanese dealer, it is likely that the salesperson would have pointed out a little black hose going into the boost regulator. A half inch from the end of the hose is a yellow line marking where the air restrictor jet sits. Cut the hose just below the line, and re-attach. U have gotten rid of ther jet, and, U r now making 2 bar and gain a free 100-110 hp on a stock GTR...(400-410)....

3. Japanese manufacturers always concerned about image and safety, had a loose agreement to keep flywheel hp below 300....we knew only time would tell..AS Greg aptly pointed out.

Good job to all...if ur a nissan buff, why not have some Nissan knowledge?

Stay tuned for the next quiz and for this quiz's winners. SD

[speeddocsson]

1. The side draft Hitachi is modeled after what carbie

2. The Infiniti M30 in Japan is known as what?

3. A reduction of 10 pounds in rotational weight is equivalent to how many pounds of static weight?

Good Luck! SD
