    Returning a H&N device?

    I have an interest in trying the SS Hybrid Pro Rage H&N. I don't believe anyone has one in the Atlanta area that isn't an hour drive + to try on. Does anyone have any experience trying one from one of the mail order folks and returning it if it was not to your liking? Any issues with doing that...

    GO PRO SD card question

    So I got a Go Pro HD for Xmas. What capacity SD card would you guys recommend? Assuming I would download to my computer anything I want to keep long term, what is the minimum I should think about? 16g? Or does it make sense to to buy 3 or 4 4g cards and rotate them? I would want to capture...

    280z Mechanics in Atlanta?

    Can anyone recommend a mechanic that is good with older z-cars. Someone is asking me for recommendations. He wants some exhaust manifold gasket work on his street Z. I know there are still guys/mechanics racing the older zs in the area. He's north of Alpharetta, if that helps, but will go...

    PCV Oil Catch Can

    Need some opinions. On the new ITR 300zx I am building I need put in a catch can for oil. Evidently the stock PCV design is bad and has the tendency to dump a lot of oil into the plenums, especially when raced or run hard. So My question is: Should I just vent the crankcase lines (there are...

    Tach wiring issue

    Ok so I have been trying to wire up an aftermarket Autometer Tach to the 300zx (1991 z32). So far nothing works. The car is a coil-less system with a coil pack on each spark plug. In theory I should be able to take the signal coming out the ecu and use that to trigger the tach. But that doesn't...

    Thoughts on BF Goodrich g-Force R1

    How does the performance of these tires stack up to the rest of the Race DOT tires out there? I am looking for 255/40 17 tire for the 300zx and surprisingly enough the Goodrich is one of only a few tire makers with a tire this size. Yes, I know it will not be as fast as a Hoosier......but...

    Nissan and Autometer gauge

    Any Nissan guys (or anyone else for that matter) hook up an Autometter speedometer in their car? If so, did it work off the stock signal sender? Their info says that it works off many stock sender units, but doesn't list which ones.

    Camber adjustment 300zx

    ok, so there is no camber adjustment possible on the 90-96 z32 300zx. It's all factory set, much like McPhearson Strut is. Like a strut, as the car is lowered the camber increases. So like a strut equiped suspension, can I ask for a rule allowance to substitute the upper control arm with an...

    ITR Wheel Question

    So the GCR says ITR cars can run 17 inch wheels (or larger if it came stock), and the 300zx line in the GCR specs says 16 inch. So does that mean I can ran either wheel size?

    Thanks 240sx guys

    Just wanted to thank Cesar and David for helping me load up my car yesterday. I appreciate all the help. I may have some parts for sale soon, we'll see. And thanks to my crew chief, Russ Paper, as usual, for his hard work.

    Life gets complicated

    I was informed this week, that after 23 years at CNN my position was being dissolved. Needless to say it is shocking and scary. That said, I may be looking for a place, a barn or covered shed or something like that, where I can park my trailer with the car in it to save money on storage. While...

    240sx Radiator Caps

    Hey guys, (and you don't have to drive a 240sx to chime in) what pressure do you recommend that I get for my 240sx? Is there any benefit to go to a cap with a higher pressure, or is that just testing the "radiator hose gods"? Currently I am using a 16lbs lever cap. Thanks

    Hutchens R3

    Anyone seen, used, held, tried on, ect, the new Hutchens R3 Head and Neck restraint system? Greg, I know that it is a competitor, and that you probably will point out that it won't help in a side impact scenario like your device, but any feedback on it? Looks to be a variation of their old...
