what would you do in my place?

[themadscientist]

My then girlfreind for the first month didn't realize my front room was actually a room, she thought it was a hallway because parts were stacked so high.

[zero_gripS13]

lol thats funny!

[ganma_ca]

Updates TMS!!!!!!!!

[themadscientist]

Funny you should mention it, I just got some boxes in today. From McKinney with love.

[r34 gtr]

Hot! Now you just have to DOOOO EEETTTTT

And when you are ready to swap the CA back in, you'll give me the R34 RB, riiiight?

[themadscientist]

right after my concussion which alters my view of reality, sure. I saw the engine drive by the other day. The guy still has it in the car.

[ganma_ca]

^^^ It will be from the euphoria TMS has after he drives it with the RB, he will be so dazed and happy, it will almost be like he's drunk, and then you can go in and snatch it up lol. It's always good assurance when you see the car driving by with your motor in it lol:)

[ganma_ca]

TMS do you ever cruize the tracks like Ebisu ? Wondering if you've ever run into any of the Sexy Knights or peeps of Spirant? Are you part of any of the car clubs there?

[themadscientist]

what?

[float_6969]

LMAO!!! The only car club Mike is joining is the "Balding Gaijin Parts Hoarder" club!

Bwahaha!

[ragenasian]

LMAO!!! The only car club Mike is joining is the "Balding Gaijin Parts Hoarder" club!

I think once he organizes that pile-o-parts he might have enough to share with the rest of us.

you want the the truth, you can't handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has cars, and those cars have to be maintained by men with parts. Who's gonna do it? You? You, R34? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for guys with no parts, and you curse the hoarders. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that my hoarding, while tragic, probably saved engines; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves cars.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about on forums, you want me hoarding those parts -- you need me hoarding those parts.

We use words like "sneaky," "greedy," "competitive." I use these words as the backbone of a life spent hoarding something. You use them as a punch line.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very parts that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide them.

I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a wrench and scour the junkyard. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!

[ganma_ca]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude yes TMS you make me laugh a lot:)

That's so awesome. Dude you ARE the reason some cars stay alive lol. No I just wanted to know if you hang out with any car gangs??? (< so to speak)Ha ha ha blading Gaijin was kinda funny lol

[float_6969]

The irony of it all is that I'm at his mercy because he is waiting on money from me to ship me a part I bought over there, LOL!

[ganma_ca]

Haaaaaaa yeah kinda could have everyone by the balls if we needed some super cool jdm parts lol:)

[ragenasian]

I know how you feel float

TMS is the life giver to many a motor even to ones on the other side of the pond. Thanks to TMS my FJ20 might just see another engine bay and not have to hide away in its little corner collecting dust to become yet another forgotten piece of Nissan's past.

[ganma_ca]

Or we could all be cool like him and move to Japan lmao and hoard parts

I can only imagine what it would be like to be over there... We'd probably all keel over and die when we could pick up an R32 for 2 grand lol, or any other of coveted cars that these shores will never see. I myself would like to get my hands on a 400R(not a bike for those of you wondering)

BTW TMS didn't know you were into bikes either... I'd love me some 1981 CBX 6 cylinder Honda's:) (1260 cc"S for back in the day!!!) I noticed you have a honda too? I see a lot of wheel hoarders in Japan because there were some pretty fantastic wheels made from all era's

[themadscientist]

I know an American over here that has a CBX. Godddam that engine is wide!

[ganma_ca]

Nice!!! Know anyone with a Nismo 400 R ???

[themadscientist]

I know someone with an RS.

[r34 gtr]

^ I know someone with several, and he won't send me one. Not even the really crappy one! What a d!ck, right?

[themadscientist]

I know right.

[r34 gtr]

Good times.

[ganma_ca]

Knock Knock UPDATE again please TMS:D We still are eager to here about the happenings of the 26 lol:) Speaking of which I had a few questions for you regarding "Top speed runs"(I've always been a fan of Nagata, even for years now ha ha Chiba Kun) Anyways supposing I wanted to set my 2fizzle up for such a feat as maybe 180 mph here's a list I complied and maybe you can help me out: Z rated tires (rated up to 200mph) Suspension Tein fully adjustable/w edcEngine management to the effect of no rev limiter/speed limiter/ fuel cut etcS15 6 speed?No idea for rear end gearing?(in diff)(all the supporting mods to the engine of course)and around 300 hp to get up to 180 (not holding my breath for getting to that speed in a hurry)Wondering even if aero is needed(possible canards in the front to keep it from lifting?)(I don't think a spoiler or any other aero would be needed)So what say you???

[ganma_ca]

Pssssttttttttttt TMS!!!!! Read it!!! Reaaaad it!

[themadscientist]

Well a top speed car would see sustained runs at high boost and rpms so I would build it a bit laggy so it is more efficient where it will be working.

My GTS-4 would do about 150 and all it had was an RB25 turbo on an RB20, Pulsar intercooler modified into a FMI, on e knob AFC, full exhuast and boost set to about .9 kilo, and an SCD to jump the speed cut; couldn't have been more than 250hp

I would think a 300hp CA18 could move the car at that speed, it won't do it with authority but it can get there. The S chassis is squirrely at speed though, not my first choice for this task, probably why they don't pop up much in the midnight club. I would spend serious money on suspension and brakes. Those GT wings look ridiculous but if high speed is in the plan they actually do help keep the a** end planted. I will likely put a serious wing on mine.

If you are serious about stability you should think about aerodynamics, a real front end with a splitter smooth out the bottom with aluminum plates and such, study the bottoms of race cars for ideas. get a book on the subject of do some internet research.

The S15 box is trick but fragile, stick to the stock one. The gearing will depend on how fast you want to go, 4.10s are for drag not top speed unless you are making power at 10000 rpms If you plan on cruising under power for extended periods of time think about a transmission and diff cooler, Rage can set you up with the Euro-spec diff coolers. I have a pair, one for the transmission, the other for the diff.

This sort on endeavor is a bit more serious than a stoplight hero, you lose it at 150+ and you are dead, no if and or buts. I doubt even a full cage would save you unless it was a professional fully welded unit with harnesses and a helmet for your noggin.

Take care.

[ganma_ca]

Sweetness, thanks for the info. I do plan on doing a lot of research on the subject should I decide to continue. I would do a lot of the rear and front diffusers/plus maybe a drag type wing that's flush with deck lid. Well I figure Dai crashed at around 160 in the silver state classic w/a caged 350z and he lived lmao not even a scratch... well externally lmao:D We just have this straight probably 50+ miles of highway that would be great for top speed runs.I hadn't thought of running a few extra coolers but that actually sounds like a great idea. (and a partial roll cage wouldn't be a bad idea either). So maybe I'll shoot for the 150 at first and see how that feels, and then go from there. Sounds like a 300zx brake upgrade would also be in order(hawk/endless pads?)I can't even begin to imagine hitting the wangan on the weekends or whatever.If I ever do get out to Japan that is one of my top listed things to do lol

150 can be done in a stock sr with speed limiter cut . did 162 in my 350z and 170ish in my ls1 240 350z was fine at that speed the 240 little scary

update on build?

[ragenasian]

I got to 230kmh (142mph) in my lightly modded 200sx. I could have hit 150mph but the autobahn was a tad busy that night and the car was starting to feel pretty light so I let up.
