I don't have a UR oil cap. The 5th pulley is an overdrive pulley. Thesehttp://www.importpartspro.com/un30unpusew.htmlAnd thishttp://www.importpartspro.com/hovwapupufor.html

I did consider getting an oil cap when I make the car look a little nicer. You guys prefer the Nismo one?

[vikesfankevin1986]

I have a lot to post tonight but I wanted to start by saying I do not like the new set up. There was nothing wrong with the old set up. As I'm sure you all noticed I have a different user name and thats because of the new set up. I write down all my passwords and my user name is saved but none of them worked. I have a possible 3 emails and I did not know which one but it seems that none of my 3 emails were the correct one, so I needed to make a new account. I love the phrase "If it isn't broke...dont fix it!" there was nothing wrong with the site. Now that I am done venting I am about to post a bunch of pics and questions.

[vikesfankevin1986]

Forget this crap. I will post pics at a later time. Our new set up says my images may only be 640 pixels high...my pics are 599x448 pixels...Unless I am a total dumbass I think both of those numbers are below 640 pixels but hey I'm not a computer guy. If someone can help me with my stupidity let me know.

[vikesfankevin1986]

OK I tried posting this the other day but the pics didn't work so I will try again now.
The other day my buddy and I washed, waxed, and detailed the cars. Also I was able to get my nose pannel off for the first time since I have had the car...It was pretty sad...There was sand all over my air intake and I got like oil on my hands when I touched it. Here are a few pics of it before I cleaned it off.
Also I have a question...I can see that plastic and crap is broke, like the bottom underneath the air intake and around it. Should I try and take this stuff out all together, replace it, or leave it as is?




Also 1 more question...I don't know if you can tell by looking at it, but are these stock? are they normally red? If they aren't stock, can anyone give me any info on them?


Finally here are some pics of the Z and the Mustang together.

[vikesfankevin1986]

So it was really sad today. I was rolling out with my friend(the one with the mustang) with my t tops off rocking out to Taylor Swift because Taylor is amazing. My friend was playing Miley Cyrus(don't like her). We play that because when you are as cool as we are you can play whatever music you want....
Then spotted it in my rear view mirror. A bright green car...It was of course a civic, its always a civic, and it was pretty nice for a civic...by that I mean I could not think of a better way to blow money other than throwing it in a fire or something. This car had a full body kit, that was actually painted, rims, tinted windows and it was lowered. He pulls up next to me at the stop light(my buddy was behind me.) He heard my music and had the nerve to call me a fag. I said even with a shot clutch I will work over that gay car. He laughed and reved so I could hear that powerful 4 cylinder.

Lucky for me, since it has warmed up my clutch holds in first gear until about 5,500 rpms and I can get a little pull in second and a little in 3rd before my clutch is worthless.
The light went green and I hammered it(well as much as u can without reving lol) I tore though my first gear and did a short burst in 2nd. At this point I was already a good 5 car lengths ahead of him. My friend is right on my tail reving his car at the civic as he flys by him too. I slow down and of course the civic is still trying to prove something and rips past me. Thats when I see it...the dual fart can of death. I laugh and as I'm laughing he turns in to the trailor park. You can't make this crap up lol. I thought I was going to have to pull over I was laughing so hard. Civic owners are all the same...I will try and get a pic of this sweet civic if I see it again. The trailor park is just a mile or 2 from my house so I would imagine I will be seing him again
Ah I love rocking people while I rock out to Taylor Swift.

[JDMZ32]

Nice TT. You have a silly friend lol. As for your brake calipers, yes, they are stock. Someone painted them red.

[djdopamine]

You should have gotten out and beat the living sh*t out of that guy. Wish i could hold my temper like you, i've gotten into fights with people over that kind of stuff that led to dented doors and broken windows... (and they weren't mine)

[vikesfankevin1986]

lol I am pretty cool. It takes a lot to get me going. My wife says I have temper issues but I have never gotten violent or even thought about it...there was one time I choked out a kid...I told him to shut up, he didn't, I made him, well unless you count the gurggling he was making... Now I really don't care who I offend when I say stuff. I just laugh at ignorant people like that. One time in Germany I walked out of my dorm room with this dime(I don't even know how I got her) and the guy a couple doors down was like "a pink shirt? Are you gay? I just looked at her and she smiled and I replied "yea real gay" Unfortunatly I did not contiune to see this girl because she liked drama...and her boyfriend out ranked me so yea...

One of these days those someone will get to me and it will be bad news for them...I am currently doing ju jit su and MMA plus getting lessons in Judo from a former olympic coach not to mention my school was ranked number 6 in the nation in wrestling...
Not that I think I can kick anyones a** or think I can beat up a pro fighter, but some fag driving a civic better not give me an arm...

Just posting these links for personal use, so I can find them in the future.

need-tires-t489386.html

[vikesfankevin1986]

Tires are ordered. I will take pics when I get them.
Also I was screwing around a bit ago. I thought I would take off the nose pannel and go for a drive. It was actually kind of sick with that air hitting the cold air intake head on. Its 57 degrees right now. When I hammered it in 1st the back end started to whip around at 5,500 rpms. I don't know what kind of hp doing that would add but there was a huge difference with the cool air hitting my air intake. The fact that I cleaned my air intake the other day probably helpd too.

[vikesfankevin1986]

So I had a drs appointment this morning and I still had my nose pannel off. On my way home I see this Neon with some stupid dual exhaust that was loud. I was behind him for a bit and he turned off on the same road I needed to. I got in the other lane and went past him. So now he is looking at the back on my car. The light turns red and he gets in the lane next to me. I'm thinking there is no way this guy is gonna try anything after he has seen a cold air intake and my tires and exhaust...of course you can't assume anything with a painted neon with dual exhaust and rims...The light turned green but I didn't hammer it, but I was watching to see if he did. Well he did, go figure, so I floored it...slammed it into second and he was way behind. After I slowed down he got right behind me so he didnt have to be right next to me at the next stop light. Dudes with neons, cavilears and civics...stop it...I have no problem embarassing you. Unless you have a civic hatch with an engine swap, piss off.
I have never seen a fast neon...
one time at a car show there was this riced out neon. He was like yea its pushing 121 hp to the wheels but with how light it is, it tears everything up...riiiight....

[legion]

lol if it was a big turbo srt, that would be a different story.

[vikesfankevin1986]

lol if it was a big turbo srt, that would be a different story.

Very true...but that is a different story lol

[Initial_Z]

Man, I miss the old day of driving my slow a** Camry because no bastard ever try to mess with me at the redlights lol

[vikesfankevin1986]

Woke up today to tires sitting by my front door Kinda pisses me off that they would leave 4 brand new tires sitting out in plain sight...at least I live in a good area and at least they are here

[car nut]

If it had a dual exhaust and a hoodscoop it was probably an SRT-4... If that was the case, you might've gotten lucky.

[vikesfankevin1986]

No it wasn't. It was a neon for sure. I know what an SRT-4 is. We have a red one rolling around here. He claims it has over 500 whp...Listening to what was coming from under the hood I don't doubt him...

[car nut]

Those things are mean. Tons of straight line speed. They push like a b**** though. Gotta love that RWD.

[vikesfankevin1986]

Yup...to bad people ask me if my car is FWD...Yea I have almost 10 inches of rubber in back for my FWD car...

[legion]

my buddy has an srt-4 and will be putting a gt3076r turbo on it...with 750cc injectors, and meth injection....I'm scared he might actually beat my Z lol

[vikesfankevin1986]

Yea but its like one of the guys has here in his sig about hondas...A 10 second SRT-4 is like coming out of the closet...You will suprise a few people at first but in the end you're still gay...its a neon...period

[vikesfankevin1986]

To cut down on cost and make something special I have decided on going for the Holy Grail. I am going to try and reach 400rwhp. I see no reason I can't reach that with the mods I am planning. It will really help to save that few grand on turbos and if I decided to in the future I could slap on some upgraded turbos that will still fit a 4 bolt DP.
Anyways I think it would be kinda special and fun to say I have 400rwhp with stock turbos.
Here is where I am starting and here are my plans...
I have a stage 3 95 300zx TT
Upgrades-
Popcharger
Stillen 2.5 inch Catback Exhaust
JWT ECU Upgrade

at 13.5 psi I am making 305rwhp

since then I have had the cats cut out...
Downstairs I have
-RPS Max Street Clutch
-Fidanza Nissan Lightweight Flywheel
-Unorthodox 4 peice underdrive pulley set
-H.I. Overdrive Water Pump Pulley
and have SZ 3 inch 4 bolt Downpipes in the mail
They will be installed in the next week or 2

They say ud pulley gives 10-18 hp but I have the set and od pulley. Doing the math with the weight I could not imagine I would not get 20 or even as much as 30rwhp from that.
Not sure what kind of rwhp the DPs will give me with cut out cats.

After that here is what I plan to do, in order:
-3 inch test pipes
-1 piece Aluminium Drive Shaft-they have been dyno'd for 18rwhp
-Upgraded intercoolers with 2.5 inch piping and Throttle Bodies-This combined with test pipes and down pipes have produced 35rwhp
-Water Injection
-Fuel Injectors
-Selin Dual Pop with MAF Translator-Dyno proven 30rwhp gain on cars that already had a popcharger.
-Boost Controler-Not sure how much hp is gained when you up the boost but I would like to push 15-15.5
-Exhaust Manifold...will do this whenever it seems to make the most sense.

This is my math
305rwhp
35rwph-DPs, TPs, Intercooler/piping/throttle bodies.
20-30rwhp-pulleys
15rwhp-driveshaft
30rwhp-dual popcharger
10? for upping the boost? It might be more?

415-425rwhp...That should hit the Holy Grail of 400rwhp on stock turbos.

[BigTDogg (MA)]

-Exhaust Manifold...will do this whenever it seems to make the most sense.

It makes the most sense when you upgrade the turbos

This is how to get big power on stock turbos. It's not a fool-proof plan, but a good recipe to start with.

[legion]

And I believe there is a group buy over on 3zc for the AMS Exhaust Manifolds.

[vikesfankevin1986]

I don't have the money now

[BigTDogg (MA)]

And I believe there is a group buy over on 3zc for the AMS Exhaust Manifolds.

I wouldn't put that garbage on my car. Just sayin. They've never even disclosed what they're made of. Scary

[vikesfankevin1986]

When I do it I am going all out and I will ask on here before I order it but this won't be until next summer. I should be a lot more informed before then

Edit: And if I want 400rwhp I need the best stuff, not garbage.

[legion]

Well that is just BigTDogg's opinion. Don't just go by one person's statement.

Oh, and it says right there in the name of the product. Cast Iron.

I know but like I said I have a whole year to figure it out.

All that plus

Buy some race fuel and run it on the Dyno.
