That's no redneck. That's a metro-sexual who deosn't know what a rake is really used for. He went back to Starbucks the next morning and told his faux-hawk haircut buddies about this cool invention to cook 15 hotdogs at once...then he complained about smelling like woodsmoke, and it possibly ruining his suede jacket. ...but that's just one man's opinion, I could be wrong. Hehe... - Brian

So did you guys kill a few LS1 motors in testing? It was hinted to in the thread on the other forums I mentioned before (link is below)...but I was unsure if that was the case. Plus, the pics looked like an LS...well, based on the intake manifold (???). Here's the thread, with pics: http://forums.freshalloy.com/showthread.php?t=152021 - Brian

Were you driving a yellow S13 240SX with a LSx motor??? I saw a buildup of that cart over on one of the Nissan Forums I'm on. Either way, cool stuff...congrats on the win! - Brian

I meant it has the better pump housing...more thrust than the '00-02 1200R's, and the '03-04 1300R's. Older GPR guys are swapping to the '05-and-up pump setup for more top speed. ...and mine sucks down gas, too. I think that it gets ~5mpg if I take it easy...MUCH worse if I'm WOT. Will do. - Brian

I have no real info for you, but... I like the idea of a recessed one...and black diamond plate would be best. Functional, and it won't ruin the look. Go for it. - Brian

Tim, AWESOME. I have a GP1200R...same hull, basically...but 15 less HP. Is that an '05 or '06...??? If so - It has the better pump, too. Not turbo...it's a 2-stroke (all the supercharged SeaDoo's and turbo'd Hondas are 4-stroke motors) The GP1300R has a 1300cc fuel injected 2-stroke...does ~67mph stock (the speedo's always read high - My 1200 reads ~74 on the speedo, but it's a true 64-65mph via GPS). ... Anyway, congrats...we DEFINITELY need to meet up and go wave jumping at Matanzas. - Brian

Actually, it is true...as tested on "Mythbusters" That guy Adam licked a petri dish...and they had a dog lick one. A day or 2 later, the one the dog licked had 1/10th the bacteria growing in it!!! [/offtopic] - Brian

Keep in mind...this is the other way around. GM needs the help from Nissan. Nissan is currently solid, thanks to Ghosn. GM is hurting...but sounds like they will both benefit. - Brian

I usually start it with my foot on the floor, and let it bounce off the limiter a few times to make sure she's purr'in. As long as it sounds allright, I'll rev-n-drop it into reverse and do an AWD reverse burnout as I leave the driveway. Sometimes I loose control and have to whip it around in the yard, slam it into D, and haul ass out of there. Is that bad for the motor...should I let it warm up more? ... Idling too long is BAD for your motor...start it, maybe let it wamr up for 30-sec or so, and drive normally until the oil is up to temp. Without a temp gauge, just wait twice as long as it take to the get the coolant up to temp. - Brian

(Maybe not safe for work...due to language) Hehe...this is mindless and pointless, but it made me laugh...A LOT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKSUt8yY7Q8 Hehe... Enjoy! - Brian

Stock offset is 27mm...and offset is 100% dependant on width, so keep that in mind. What size are you looking for, specifically what WIDTH? PCD is 6X5.5 (inches), or 6X139.7 (millimeters) Hope that's a start for you... - Brian

...add a built trans to that, for reliability. - Brian
