[Happy Birthday Rezz!!!]

Welcome to the ranks of the ancient ones

[Nissan Fast]

run Nfset.exe and assign the cds to the virtual drives there

Setup is all correct there with the cds.

[Nissan Fast]

Running FAST on D: drive under win2k, FAST itself works well, but Parts Master gives me a "CD PLAYER ERROR" when I try to look up something.  Files A1-B2 are on five directories in the form D:NISSANCDA1.  Anyone know what could be wrong?

Ideas anyone

[R32 GTS-t vs. GT-R wings]

Do they attach the same way, or does the bootlid need to be redrilled or otherwise modified when swapping?

[What is a GT car]

Definition of a GT car was quite broad back in the day, basically any car that would've been considered a sports car, but had a fixed roof, was considered a GT car - even something like the Lotus Elite, I don't think I'd want to tour in that!

[supra with R34 front]

One of the guys on GTRC found these two:

Combine them and see what you get

Stands for carburetted.

[R32 Gts4]

What are maintenance costs like on them, more like GTS-t or more like GT-R?

[Nissan Fast]

Well I must have goofed that up somehow cos I did it again and she runs like a charm now

Cheers

Did you remember to:

You would think we are finished now but there is one more essential step... Navigate to C:NISSANCDA1FASTPRGWINGR and copy the NSFASTKY.INI file to your C:WINDOWS directory... Then go to your C:WINDOWS directory and find the NSFASTKY.INI file and change its attributes (right click, properties) to NOT read-only..."

I did this with the exception that the folder I put it in was d:WINNT.

Maybe I should try making a "WINDOWS" directory?

[Nissan Fast]

Just switched my comp to win2k . . . installed FAST, installed fine, won't run.

Oddly enough it seems to have installed the program files BOTH under d:nissancdnissan and under d:program filesnissan.

Would someone with win2k or XP be so kind as to post their directory structure for the program files?

[Old R33 Compared To New R33......]

#2 all the way

WITH stickers

[R32 aerodynamics]

Does anyone know the cD and frontal area for the R32 GTS-t?

[R32 gear ratios]

What are the fifth gear (and fourth for the auto) and axle ratios of the R32 GTS-4? and the GTS-t?

[Getting stuff purchased in JP]

Looking for an oddball camera lens only available in Japan as far as I know. I seem to remember a company that specialized in buying Japan only items and sending them worldwide. Does anyone know of such an outfit?

Thanks

J

[some interesting people's rides, (worldwide)]

That first one got thoroughly destroyed in a hurry . . . and he still wants to fix it???

[Lowering the 10:2:1 rb20de ratio?]

High compression + lowish boost = an engine that's a lot of fun to drive

[Exhaust help]

Disconnect it entirely

[Modifying a CA18i Engine]

Personally I'd go CA18DET. Bit older and perhaps not quite as much potential as the SR20DET, but a lot cheaper and should slot right in very easily, fitting to your standard engine mounts, transmission, etc. Can you get parts easily from the Bamboo in Trinidad? I'm sure someone there would have a CA18DET 180SX or Silvia front cut.

By the way I am almost certain the CA18i is throttle body fuel injected, not carburetted. Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. This would make the CA18DET swap even easier as you would not have to change your fuel system (aside from possibly fitting a higher-capacity fuel pump - but it might be the same pump as any other R32 in which case you wouldn't need to).

By the way does anyone know why Nissan used two spark plugs per cylinder and what benefit this would have on the performance of the engine?

It has to do with the combustion chamber shape, with a two-valve engine it's a bit tricky to get a spark plug right in the centre of the combustion chamber, so putting one plug on either side of the chamber gives you more complete combustion.

[found this supra for sale if anyones looking]

there is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING special about this car, it even uses EXTRA INJECTORS hahahhaha.. very dodgey tuning.

all crap, all looks.

And what exactly is wrong with staged injectors?

I wouldn't write the car off that quickly.

[Drift]

Probably a little harder as you couldn't use clutch kick or shift lock. You'd have to rely more on weight-shifting techniques.

[Supercharged skylines]

I know why they call supercharges parasites.

 

Checking out one of the whipple flow maps I noticed to flow 500-600cfm it sucks around 40hp.

Yes, but, with a turbo you are also losing a lot of power due to the extremely high exhaust backpressure (usually a little higher than the boost pressure).

Where's Warpspeed when you need him.

[R32 GTR rims on my 240z]

VG30det fitted in her.

Cool and unusual! pics?

[S13 Sil-80 with a RB20DET?]

Well if you need more info on the swap, there's a couple guys on www.northwestnissans.com who have done several, with or without Silvia front conversion.
