Hello, no KA24-T but maybe someday...
Hey guys, just stopping by to find out something about the KA24E flywheel, but I thought I'd say hello.
My car project wet dream would be a 510 with a KA-T in it, so I think I'll stick around and see what I can learn about the KA24DET.
Oh, I have a Datsun 280Z-T and a 300ZX Turbo.

Might I recommend a 280Z and here's why.....
A. After the turbo swap the car only weighs 2600 lbs with me in it [Most people prefer 240Zs for the weight but it's a myth that 280Zs are 400 lbs heavier]
B. 280Zs have hideous stock bumpers and therefore are cheaper and easier to find
C. They have beefier trannys, suspension, and an R200 diff [240s and 260s have R180s and you have to track down all those parts from a 280Z anyways.]
D. You can swap on a 240Z bumper and lights if you want and no one will know it is a 280Z
The only downside is when people call my car a 280ZX >_<
Good luck if you ever get an S30, they are a blast!! There is someone on HybridZ.org with a KA-T swap, it's a gorgeous Rootbeer car with a TMIC. Is that anyone here??

Ehhhh that crappy 240Z.... not a fan. I'm ultimate function > form every time. That car would be destroyed in the first 5 miles of driving where I live.
There was a big debate about that thing over on HybridZ.org [Where I'm from ]
Yeah I've seen that picture a couple of years ago, it's actually not a concept, just some guy's rendering of what he thinks an S30 would look like today. I think it looks good

MegaSkeet might have been the best decision I've made in terms of car upgrades
[Besides the Terbeaux of course haha]
I bought my stuff from DIYAutoTune, Russ in sales was super cool, very quick to answer my questions,
and I think they built my surface mount board with all my requested jumpers in less than 24 hours.
I would recommend MegaSquirt to anyone, if you know how it works, then you can tackle any problem that presents itself.
I incorrectly set my PWM when I first got it and blew out my injector drivers,
got the new drivers in a couple of days and solder them in in a couple of minutes,
and had the car running again in no time.
I can't wait for MS3!!!!!

Shiros are from 1988 and all of them are white, and came with VLSDs, unlike the other kouki Z31s which came with CLSDs. Mine is a 1986. Open diff :/
By that logic I'd choose a girl only because they can cook and clean well
Screw that, I want a girl with a flat stomache and good legs. In this case, the ugly chick
is that stupid slammed S30, because it has a stock L24, and it was built around Honda
coilovers. I don't know how you can get more ugly than that.
Oh and if you think gloss is going to help aerodynamics, you should go read up on the wind tunnel tests they've done on the S30. It's a lost cause lol

*edit* I wasn't calling the 'concept' picture a crappy Z, I was talking about that link one of the other guys posted, I read your post wrong.

welcome... I guarantee that concept would be a little more than a crappy z, hell just the smooth paint would cut through the wind better
