I don't know exactly but carbon tends to change it's gripping properties based on temp...I was driving for a while which causes it to release oil and grip due to heat, but with the outside temp being so cold i probably just clamped on.....my car has no documented history with NISSAN...i modded it starting in 2/04 when i got it and have been asked to never go back....my plans are a secret because yes...it has never been done before....i don't even know if it's gonna work...so why have people ask me a million questions if it's experimental.......i'll tell you on thing when it's done I will post a HUGE write up......

 

some of us just don't like everyone knowing our business.. personally i hate the "i am getting this and that done" threads .. **** i didn't even post in the FI sticky up top of the forum.. i don't list my mods in my sig either.. some people have every mod even tires in their signatures... i guess we are all different. Personally i like to be the normal guy on the forum that everyone assumes just has a Z .. not this TT Z or that Body Kit Z or that or that..

 

+1 on that note......... but i like to list mods.. saves vendors asking me about them....

 

Damn Noah... double suckage man.. I hope the best for your cousin....

And good luck on on the build.. If I know you it's gonna be crazy!

 

wow 12 degrees is pretty cold. I honestly wouldn't drive my Z if it was that cold out, I'd let some other car take that punishment. It isn't like you'd be able to get traction anyway if you stepped on it

never understood the big deal with people going FI or building the engine being a secret. Is it so people can come back in full force with ALL of their awesomeness and have crowds of admirerers gather around? Pretty much anything with car design and performance has been thought of in terms of modding. People have put jet engines in their cars - and bikes. So I dunno, nothing is going to suprise me unless it actually IS a real flux capaciter

Besides, if it was suuuuch a secret, people probably wouldn't even bother to say they're working on a super secret project for their Z. They just wouldn't even mention it. The people that make big announcements then come up with nothing shouldn't have even bothered saying they're working on anything - secret or not

 

Hey, you forgot to put your valve stems in your sig.

 

well like i said.. everyone is different.. nobody is in the wrong.. we are all just different.

 

who said i'm going FI or anything for that matter.....i am working on a few ideas...when I can say I am doing "so and so" with concrete evidence then i will disclose my plans......also things don't always work out as planned....so by me saying nothing noone can speculate....LOOK at what happened to bubble's widebody....so much hype and nothing...

Mike thanx...and yes....if I keep the Z I need to budget horsepower per dollar and see what I can afford

 

Uh, you did in your first post.

 

So to answer your question...you said it

 

LOL zman, we posted at the same time but I beat you!!!

 

Who cares if he wants his stuff a secret? Being on the forums doesnt give everybody the right to others business, you guys are such cry babies. Id much rather see a final post with the build info and results than a lame a$$ "Im doing XXX and XXX thread"....

 

Uh, if you want to keep it a secret, then don't going around telling ppl you have a secret.

 

He only said that because I asked what his plans were, its not like he said "Im building, but Im not telling anybody what my plans are!"

 

Good thing is now is that your out of the woods! Bad things happen in 3's.

1. Your old lady
2. Your ride
3. Your cousin

It's all downhill from here.

JET

 

thanx jet.....wanna rub my face in it some more.....

my new plans...600rwhp with an entirely different set-up.....

 

I hear you, but I also like hearing what a particular build includes and with pics and/or videos of the process. Isn't this forum partly for learning about the other guy's mistakes/misfortunes and congratulating them on their comeback? This is probably the only place where you can get props for spending so much money on car parts. Without a doubt, most family and friends will never understand this passion.

 

sorry to hear about this noah.....and your cousin.hopefully everything will turn out ok for you.

good luck.
keith

 

ok....well my car should be picked up friday and is being dropped off in alabama......that's the plan for now...no guarantees it will work or even be practical...but i am going to be the guinea pig

If you can't figure out my plans now you are an idiot!!!!

 

Jeremy started that very same project
