  1. What MAF is that? Looks like what's in my buddies Supra.
  2. Mike is awesome :thumbup: So is the rest of Ratsun though. I owe a round of beers to a lot of people in this place man. Everyone's so helpful and willing to go out of their way to help others out. It's pure awesome.
  3. I'll give you, 20 home made PB&J Sandwiches, made by my very own GF And I'll even include pictures of her making you sammiches in a bathing suit. You interested, text me. :sneaky:
  4. Rode in a Mini Cooper today. Modded as fuck... soooooooooooo fast! I was surprised.

  5. I hear canada has good maple syrup. oh and........
  6. ^^What he said. Wanna trade? I got some painting to do
  7. Also would take the hood off of your hands if the other guy that asked falls through.
  8. Dana, you always have some pretty cool stories. We gotta get a southern Ratsun meet at a gun range and get some cool stuff to shoot. Paint on!
  9. Not normal at all. If anything they actually run cold. What thermostat do you have in it and how old is it?
  10. Meh..... here's the problem. 240Z = 2.4 260Z = 2.6 280Z = 2.8 300ZX=3.0 350Z = 3.5 370Z = 3.7 If they dropped the displacement, IMO it would just kill the car to me. For so long it's been a progressive thing. I think a high revving, 4.0L V8 would be great. But that right there kills affordability.
  11. TR7 for sure. Saw a MINT one at a yard a few months back. Absolutely perfect. Couldn't see any reason why it would be there. They sold it as a whole to a collector for just over a grand.
  12. Helen is an awesome idea. been there a few years ago, but haven't been back. The date's kinda screwed for me. Something just came up last minuet on my end that I won't be able to work around. HOWEVER, The Sunday of the 21st there is a fairly powerful old school meet happening not too far from Stone Mountain. http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/events-meets-shows/332406-i-want-start-monthly-oldschool-errythang-meet-japanese-american-german-whatev.html
  13. I've been behind the wiki for a while... it would be so neat...
  14. FYI, Griots fine glass polish has Cerium Oxide in it.

  17. Dude, no hellaflush here! This truck is a track/only truck. It actually broke down on the way home. Never really liked the street. As far as the wide rims and camber, more rubber=more traction which equals more response and better handling. Camber? Simple, at full lock, the tires are flat hugging the track, and the truck has so much control it's crazy. When drifting, it's all cornering so that's where you need the most traction. All pure function here :thumbup:
  18. I daily drove a 210 for a while, and I'm 6 foot even. I was pretty comfy, and had taller buckets in it.
  19. :thumbup: looks like it! Doesn't surprise me, since he had to make room for the RHD parts. With no brake/clutch master and steering linkage on the other side, he had plenty of room to keep it to the side.
  20. Me either, until I found videos of him drifting in ATL. The E-brake he said is okay. But overall he said he hates the braking system. It had no vacuum assist so it's all pure pedal effort on his part. E-brake is good enough to do this though!
  21. Hung out with a friend, Chad the builder of the famous SR-drift 620 king cab. Had an extra fender that he needed to replace one of his war torn fenders so we met for some coffee and Japanese food. Talked for a good hour or so about a bunch of dumb, life stuff. I wanted to avoid asking questions about the truck, because I know he gets a lot of questions, and I don't want to be one of those dicks that goes on and on about it :poke: Still managed to get some cool secrets out of him though :thumbup: Thought you guys might enjoy some pics. BTW, yes he has no bed on. Probably due to the fact that he has a radiator at the back, and the bed off to access the fuel pumps he's been having issues with. Remember, this is a race truck. Back on topic, the trucks cool as hell. Everything is 100% well done and home brewed awesomeness. A 620 on an S14 sub frame with Z32 brakes, and ALL the goodies. Oh and did I mention it's RHD? _DSC0152 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0148 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0143 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0141 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0150 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0145 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr This is where the truck gets unusually cool. It's got it's very own mascot. Petey the drift pigeon! A good luck charm of sorts. Be sure to like him on Facebook! _DSC0149 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr _DSC0155 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr After a few hours, we headed out, but not before Chad stuffed the fender he came for in the passenger (usually what we call the driver) seat and cuddled into the cage next to it. Funniest part of the day. Chad starts his pre-drive procedures. -Turn on IGN -Turn on Fan -Turn on Fuel pumps -Start Engine -Put on steering wheel -Light cigar ^^Badass _DSC0161 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr
  22. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SWAY-BAR-SWAYBAR-LINKS-1976-76-DATSUN-B210-B-210-/160662101193?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AB210&hash=item2568351cc9 WTF?? You could almost get energy suspension for that cost!
