yea there is an RB30 it is a skyline engine but i dont think that it is possible because my max is frontwheel drive and the sky is rear. So what do you mean for me yes and for you no ? do they make a cam for my car or yes there is an engine swap?

you can also swap in a vg30et like i did. overall it cost me a bit less than 2000 dollars to do the swap but i did most of the work myself. it all depends on what you're capable of.

Now thats odd i postd "ttp://www.z31.com/cams.shtml Any one of those cams will fit ur motor, i suggest the MotorSport Non turbo cam if u do not have a turbo it work well for me, i may be selling it in the near future for a bigger one once i get my turbo on!!" and it showed up that DopeHEAD posted it.


Anyway ull get diff gains with each cam cuz there all diff, it all depends on how u have everything else set up , i suggest that u read up on how cams work and what kinda gains u will get with each grind cuz depending on ur motor specs and setup ull need deiff things and will see diff gains Me an Mark (MtCookson) have a turbo and iv noticed huge gains as im sure hell say the same but a n/a with 200,000 miles might just mess stuff up and notice no giains, these aint plug and play either expect to spend housr putting them in if its in the car and ur gunna need ur lifters re ground or new ones all together cuz if u dont in about 2 months ull be srry

Hmmm, some thoughts from me.
1) Aluminum is nice. I think you won't be able to make your own set cheaper than I sell them. Strength? No idea.
2) 1/4". Be vary careful about how thick you make them.

If you are going to just copy my design, at least have the decency to to buy a set first.

wouldnt that defeat the purpose of me making them. It will cost me about $1.12 and about 1 - 2 hr of time on the Bridgeport. So if u can be $1.12 shipped then ill buy them from u!!

Thnks for moving the Intake thread 2. There was no need for that.

1) Have fun with your brackets.
2) OF course there was a need. It's very clearly explained. If there was no need, you wouldn't have posted the same for sale thread 3-4 times in the wrong section.

I have no idea what you just wrote. Contact Matt93se, maybe he will give you the bracket specifications to his kit.

dude, Jeff isnt even making money on his stuff, or if he is, its only like a buck or two. Atleast he is making the brackets avaliable to the community, and he has taken a larger hit (money wise) on the actual R&D part. Before you go and call him **** and say he's being a **** about it, think about the time, effort and money he's put into it. Nealoc didn't give any measurements or any design info out when he made his brackets.

Jeeze, He's only saying buy the bracket because it's the right thing to do. I think he's laughing at the thought of actually making money off the brackets.

Also Both Matt and Jeff used steel, so I don't think I would be use aluminum if I were in your shoes. And it's funny that you bring up the fact that he is a moderator, because he has done absolutely nothing to even justify you bringing that into it.

Dont take this stuff personally, He's not acting "ana l" or "like a dik" because he has moderator status, he's doing it because of how you are treating him.

Because someone ASKED me. What do you want me to do????

That is a little different than just plastering your huge ad for OEM stock manifolds that EVERYONE already knows what they are. They are just oem VG manifolds.

Just so it's clear, MY POST REFERENCE WAS AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION, NOT JUST A POST TO SELL OEM NISSAN PARTS.

This discussion is over. Test me if you want. You don't.

There is a difference between mentioning that your selling something in a thread vs. creating a thread to try to sell something.

IE, a thread pops up about suspension, we all mention that Matt has custom products out, or matt mentions it. Its fine and dandy. Same thing with brakes, someone mentions brakes and Matt and Jeff will present the things they can offer.

And to prevent you from saying they can get away with it, take Internetautomar for example, we are always saying buy parts from him, and he says he sells parts too, but there is a clear difference between mentioning it in a thread to help someone out/etc than posting a "Forsale: blah blah blah" thread in the 3rd gen discussion. There is a reason for the classifieds, if people want them they will look.

If you are worried that not enough people check the classifieds make a line in your signature and link it.

He keeps deleting my POST's about my VG intakes hes del 2 of them. And it was no diff. than his on the brake setup , so what is the justified reason for him to be able to have it in the forum but me having to have it in the for sale forum, I could care less if hes makin money or not i have the resources to make them cheaper so ill make them my self justwanted the specs on the other 2 holes, ur tellin me if u could make something much cheaper than some one else was selling it that u would bye it from them because its the right things to do, Why is it the right thing to do.
