What kind of car should I buy?

[Citizen_Insane]

If you want to be fast in a straight line, forget the twin turbo. Just run a single big turbo. Its cheaper and better.

I don't know man, I personally don't think the supra is worth it at all. You're still going to be paying too much even for a wrecked one. You should look into an old 240Z. They are dirt cheap any 240Z you get will need to be fixed up. You like fixing cars up anyway right?

Anycrap, back on track here... then go buy the mount kit for an LS1 350 and a Paxton Supercharger. Get some high hp axles and a set of slicks and run your ten sec quarter in absolute style. The 240Z ownz j00!!!!!!

98 TA WS6, cost ya about 10-13 grand. 150 shot nitrous, slicks, gears and you're in the 11s easy.

head and bottom end work =10s and 9s... street legal too.

My friend Tyler Kraft has a 99 TA WS6. Pushinf close to 480 RWHP. Well he cnat keep 2nd gear in it. And even without 2nd he runs a good "12" guarter.

Has Nitrous, Cam, Exhuast, Slicks and 3.90 (I think) Gears. Great car... sounds really healthy too! When it isnt broken.

probably has 3.93 gears if anything. not the transmissions fault he's abused the shit out of the poor thing.

ugly?

I've seen people making over 600HP out of the L28 motor

Light weight, powerful, and RWD. IMO one of the best cars ever made.

damn that thing is [snoopdogg]pimpizzle fo shizzle my nizzle[/snoopdogg]

 

[NissanNiNjA2nd]

they all are... and if clayton will finish his ae86 and sell it we might get to see the build of one..

 

[Battle Pope]

I think that black datsun just gave me a boner...

 

[jeffie7]

One of the best things about a datsun....


SIMPLE! you have TONS AND TONS of room to work even with a Tec2 system that engine bay is SUPER simple

 

[Battle Pope]

I think if I ever got a datsun 240z I'd either go balls-out and RB26DETT it or find a nice Chevy 350...

 

[NissanNiNjA2nd]

chevy 350 hands down... LS1 for teh win!!!... seriously.. light, high power, and a HUGE after market... hook me up with that... but then again I dont have any money

2nd gen eclipse, t-4 turbo, a nos fogger system, cool air intake, aic, direct port nitrous injection, and a stand alone fuel managment system,

why bother with a CAI?
the 4g63 eclipses dont all fucking crankwalk and die every other time you drive it. the whole crankwalk issue has been blown way out of proportion. in all actuality its only affected 10-15% of the DSM 4g63s (yes which is high but not what everyone makes of it). mine's been fine for 130,000 miles.

if you really want a 10 second import a 92 GSX with a 6 bolt 4g63/4 bolt rear differential with under 10,000 of mods will take you there. it's been done countless times already.

supras are better off on the highways, there are better choices for 1/4 mile

 

[Citizen_Insane]

^^^ and one of those choices is not a DSM. Poor reliability + mods = blown up car.

I think *somebody* missed the joke, lol.

 

[TWAN]

No kidding!!

 

[lowandslow]

hahah

 

[josh_isakson]

[dohch22a4]

The saddest part is that if he was nitpicking about the cool air intake, he might have actually thought the rest was serious advice.

 

[driverunknown]

maybe if you guys would have mentioned the two big bottles, he could have gotten it.
