Re: 5 speed swap
I had a write-up back on bstuff waaay back when, though there were a few differences as the conversion was going into the GTU with the 3800SC swap. Partly depends on which variant of the 5-speed you are going with. Oldest ones used an enclosed jackshaft and both CV axles were the same, left and righ...

Re: Custom engraved 3400 UIM for turbo 3400
The NICO (Nissan/Infinity) forum seemed decent back when I had checked it out years ago relating to my 300ZX/VH45DE project, but I just didn't get that involved, and stayed away from all the 240SX/KA-series discussions that A) -didn't relate to me and, B) -I suspected would attract more of the young...

Re: Custom engraved 3400 UIM for turbo 3400
Do whatever with you want with emblems IMO. I mean, I had a fake "SS" and I'm making a new "T56" decal in the Z26 style soon...bad paint or not. Yep. I am too far away from 'stock' on most of my vehicles to ever gain the title of 'purist'. One of the reasons I still visit the Fo...

Re: The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.
pulled the trans to start a 5 speed swap over this winter. Swapping in a Getrag 282! YES!! Now it will be a real car! Haha. :wink: Still like that car of yours, every time I see it there is something 'fresh' about the looks, yet familiar too. I guess that is what makes the car's styling (and the de...

Re: Custom engraved 3400 UIM for turbo 3400
That is awesome -caught a glimpse of it but hadn't posted yet... Using the Buick GN(X) "boosted-6" is borderline blasphemous, but it came out too nice for me to criticize! :ROFL: I have intentions of making a decal for the L36/L67 3800 hybrid in my GTU, doing a red "L3" and a bla...

Re: Looking for a Beretta
My wife says I need a project car. She had a Beretta, and I always liked them, but they're hard to find. Even MUCH harder to find than a solid Beretta project car is a wife that will suggest their husband needs a project car :D -DEFNITELY a keeper! :lol: My GTU was originally an '89 2.8 V6 automati...

Re: Off-Topic, Off-Center, and Possibly Out of my Mind -Turbo Bike build
Keep building skills and experience. Weird stuff is cool. If I'm not learning something, I'm wasting my day. :pardon: If I'm not applying what I've learned, I'm wasting myself. Just got a rotary-table (precision machining fixture -weighs a little over 60 pounds) to use with my metal-shaper (old-sch...

Off-Topic, Off-Center, and Possibly Out of my Mind -Turbo Bike build
I've been into the motorcycling scene as deeply and as long as I've been into cars. I just haven't done as much with modifying them as I have the four-wheeled friends. But after my latest motorcycle project, a liter-class Honda from the mid '80s that I recently purchased and built over the last year...

Re: Advice for an old 89 GTU
Yeah, we are still here. Glad to hear you are hanging on to the car, still hoping for pics though... I hope your health improves and you are able to get some quality wrench-time on the GTU soon.

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
Cool! No idea there was an "LS Fest", but hey, why not?? :good: Glad the trip ended without major drama, so funny you had the trailer along with you... I tried pulling a spare Beretta with me across country once... :fool: (Okay, I was actually MOVING, so both cars, and many others, had to ...

Re: what did you do to your ride today?
Well, not a 'Beretta', but definitely one of my 'rides'... :pardon: Been working on another bike I picked up some months back, a Honda V-4 Interceptor 1000. Wanted one of these since they came out in the early '80s... :Bravo: I know Honda VF-series very well, and have two 750 "V45" Sabres ...

Re: 1990 GTZ Coverlay dashcap install
Not bad! Thanks for the pics, the feed-back, and the install tips. I discounted these a long time ago after someone mentioned that the caps are relatively hard and unyielding, unlike the factory dashboards, and I got an '80s Third-Gen Camaro with one that had warped and rippled and shrunk -pure ugly...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.
Right on, looks like you had some fun -love that you had to notice your third-eye light was missing a bulb -OCD as only a Builder would have! :lol: Very cool that nothing broke, but next time the car should be driven there! :wink: (And yeah, driven back!)
