*pukes*

hoov100

dont be jealous because my car is actually fast and i can spend money on better parts without them breaking first.

BlueKitsune

Still puke. And American engine does not belong in an Import car. let alone a Z! Now if it was a Nissan V8, I wouldnt care so much.

hoov100

lol, such purist thoughts. let me know of any fast L-series you can swap in and have it driving, for under $3k

Bleach

what is your quarter mile time?

lol when VH45's are the price of sbc's you can make that argument, untill them stfu (respectively)

BlueKitsune

If your lucky enough to find one at a junk yard then they are as cheap as sbc lol

hoov100

if it was going to be a drag car i could tell you, right now going to set it up with the s14 IFS and z32 calipers/hubs with z33 track edition rotors, maybe a r33 IRS, but i might just go with a short nose r200 and z32 CV's, hubs and brakes in the rear as well, then the cage gets made from there.




(as for VH's being possible to find for cheap, you may be able to find the motor, but what about the trans, clutch/fywheel, adapter plate, wiring harness, exhaust, engine mounts, trans mount. this is assuming its a 94-95 motor and not a 91-93 with dying/dead chain tensioners.

BlueKitsune

Kill joy

hoov100

ontop of that list you would still be running an otherwise stock motor as well.



we all have dreams, until the cold foot of reality kicks us in the nuts.

BlueKitsune

Doesnt hurt to daydream tho! Does it? lol
Either way I'm sticking with an L engine. I rather hate V8s, their a bigger pain in the *** then an L engine.

DatsunKid

LOLZ a sbc v8 is just as simple as an L series engine.

hoov100

easier and simpler then any L-series i have dealt with.

and for anyone who say's its a POS 50 year old design, isnt the L-series about the same age?

DatsunKid

Yea I do believe the L series was designed in the early 60's. SBC are so reliable, and parts are so cheap and easy to get. Absolutely nothing to hate about them. My friend has had one in his Buick Skylark for 7 years now, over 150k miles and no problems.
Though I do love the sound of an inline six engine, you cant win the bang for the buck of a SBC.

hoov100

i remember once i needed a fuel pump for an sbc and an l24, guy came out with the sbc fuel pump and ended up being $15, but he had to special order the l24's fuel pump and costs me $36

hoov100

damn, seems like i have a miss above 4k RPM.

tonsoffun300zx

hey hoov how you been?

NismoPick

Hey... you're still alive!

hoov100

he just wants all that advice and spare parts i tried to give him when i sold him the z31, now thats its sitting broken and paralyzed.

duowing

I think this looks pretty good considering I've never polished anything before.



At least this way it'll look nice sitting on top of the manifold.

hoov100

off to the junkyard to grab the front suspension off an s14!

BlueKitsune

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOM
I shot someone last night, with a less then lethal shotgun round. They were tossing rocks at my house at 2 am Thankfully they didnt hit my Z or anything really breakable.

hoov100

just kill them and everyone who saw you kill them.
