Re: I\'ld Better Post This Over Here Hershal, LOL!!!! I can't believe you can build a beautiful GT40 like yours and have trouble with something as simple as a PC! I suppose I am in the reverse situation. I have built plenty of PC's but I have never built a car before. Hope when I build my 40...

Hi John, If you do a search I know there are some posts of a twin turbo GT40 around hear somewhere. IMO there is plenty of space for a turbo system though as you say heat could be an issue especially with the fibre-glass rear clip. There are guys more knowageable about 40's around here than I...

[ QUOTE ] Weren't there a few Nissan SSS Pulsars with HUD's? Couldn't somebody rip the necessary parts from the Pulsar and rewire to the ECU, since every 40 with an ECU has an aftermarket one the electronic setup mightn't be too bad, but physically might be a pain. Just my 2c... Adrian [/...

Congrats Ross!!! I was down there poking around the pit area and hanging around with a mate who entered his 300zx (ran a 13.08 finished mid field in his class). If one thing could sum up the day was bloody hot!!! 39 degrees C. I spent half the day pushing an overheating Z up and down the pit...

Hi Chris, Don't forget that turbos contribute additional back pressure to the engine which in a way robs the engine of power as well. A consideration in turbo design is the boost to back pressure ratio, typically race cars have low back pressure and high boost but are not really streetable...

I agree a fat curve and traction are very important. As far as the where a SC or turbo car will produce torque (ie. high , mid, or low in the rev range) is highly dependant on the the way the system is set up and what type of SC is used. Positive displacment Superchargers like a roots or a...

Heres a formula for tractive effort: Tractive effort Cheers, Danny

'96 300zx Twin Turbo 2+2. Dyno 186kw (250 hp) at the rear wheels with gob fulls of mid range torque (can't remember the exact figure). Has stock ECU and Turbo's (probably running a little over efficiency @ 14psi) Air flow converter and upgraded front mount intercoolers. Still, I would like to...

I another GT40 wanna be. Recently I decided to build a house so my plans have been pushed back a few years however I am still keen and motivated to make it happen. I am only 25 so there's plenty of time!! I will most probably stick with the Aussie manufactures and support the local product not...

Try here Lot of the guys in my 300zx club use them to light up the 300zx panel on the back like so: Not sure its the same stuff but it should do the job. A little ricey though... Cheers, Danny '96 300zx TT GT40 wanna be...

Lynn, I used Redline MT90 in my 300zx. It was recommended by fellow 300zx owners in the club I am a member of. Personally I can not tell much of a difference between my old brand x (i don't know what it was) and the new MT90. The trans has almost done 100kms (60k miles) What difference did...

Darth, Unfortunatly it isn't that simple. It all depends on what type of setup you have. Both Turbo's and superchargers in general normally give good low to mid range torque. As mentioned before you can go a Twin turbo route which is supposed to reduce the boost threash hold and lag. This...

Hi all, I suppose I can start my first post on this forum with a little info I have found regarding the weight of ford V8's. I found this site: http://www.241computers.com/ford/eweight.html Which has a list of engines weights and a few sizes. Don't know how reliable it is but he does quote...
