:If you people think that the key to going fast is by dumping money in your
:car, then you are sadly mistaken. I know this is a bold statement, but its
:the bitter truth. Let us say that 95% of the members here spend over $3,000
:on performance mods. The avaerage 1/4 mile time is 13.1.....sad isn't it?
drag racing is gay. that's whats really sad is that everyone assumes drag times are an indication of the car. when in fact, it's an indication of the driver.so your point is moot. next.
:I've done the calculations, it's the sad truth. 300ZX's are weak machines.
:Go ahead and say it. You know you can...300ZX's are slow cars that are
:meant for driving at speeds under 90MPH on US and Japanese highways. They
:just were not built for high speeds, hence the subpar HICAS system and other
:failures that were featured in this dubbed "technology wonder" of 1989.
k. we took one and drove it at 140mph non stop (no letting off, just cruising) for 13 minutes straight, with not a hint of problems. it felt like it belonged there. and the hicas performed flawlessly. the car never twitched. nice troll, but still, your point is moot... next :1989 folks!!! The car that many of you dedicate your LIVES to, was
:developed during the 80's.
and it's still holding it's own very well. i mean shit, we get 1500 webhits on this little internet forum a day. the car is still here and not forgotten. -300 points, you. again, next... :OK, now back to my point. Now that we've confirmed the fact that your car
:will never be fast, let's move on. Imagine for a moment what could be
:possible if everyone who had wasted $3000 on upgrades could have achieved if
:the money had went to something more worthwhile. This brings me to myself.
:I have watched as members like Ashley Powers, Greg Dupree and Kyle Puckett
:(to name a few) have developed parts for this community. Enter Victor
:Maxamillion. I am on the cutting edge of technology. I am currently in
:development building a flying car. My base model is a 1990 300ZX Twin
:Turbo. I am looking for funding to further develop my flying car.
:Without giving out too many details, here's where I am so far. I've already
:developed the hydraulic wings and rutter mechanisms and have them mounted on
:my car. They are hydraulically put into place with a switch of a button
:within the cab (wingspan of 7 metres). The material I used is a new type of
:synthetic carbon ion charged hard fiber, allowing flex but with extremely
:high tensile strength. The suspension has been modified to adapt for both
:takeoff and landing. The car is technically suitable for flight. The only
:thing missing is power.
:I have yet to develop the 1000BHP needed for the conversion from land/air
:vehicle. The engine not only powers the drive, but also the Hydraulic
:components. The car will need a minimum of 967BHP to accomplish my
:requirements. That is where the likes of tt.net will come into play. My
:budget has been spent on the flight aspects of my 300ZXF (f - flight).
:Power is where I need input from people like Kyle Puckett and Ash Powers.
:Is the VG30 platform up to par with current powerplants made overseas?
:I will be starting a fund for the tt.net members to donate their
:upgrade/perfromance money directly to me. My Paypal account should be
:active either tongiht or tomorrow at the latest. I will post a link ASAP.
:I should also let you know that by donating, you will be first in line when
:I begin selling the conversion kit commercially. There will be group rate
:deals and unheard of bargains. I'm not doing this to advance my own
:pocketbook, i'm doing this for the betterment of man kind.
:Victor Maxamillion Hi victor. As an aerospace engineer myself, you may want to look into hydrogen porixide jet engines.
they produce obscene power and can be built at home. [ http://www.tecaeromex.com/ingles/peroxidoi.html ]
