in the 60's they had something called bias tires.. i figured that you would be aware of the fact that tires be them slicks or street tires from the 60's were ENTIRELY different from modern tires/slicks in both composition and design (ply types, patterns, materials, sidewall differences.. you ever see a 20 series tire in the 60's?)

and no the 7 speed deal is completely new inards. As I understood it 1 or maybe 2 gears were removed and replaced making for a final of 6 forward 1 reverse. The 300z tranny WAS an add on.. not new guts.

the pressense of smoke was not what we were arguing about.. the fact that he was spinning the tires while doing a wheelie was.

For all I know the video I've seen the soaked the whole track with bleach.. I was not looking to start WWIII over a couple of cracks.. I was just poking fun at you guys for knowing so many details of the movie and picking bad points to contest the movies validity.

Oh and the best part will be fire bombing the theater midway through :o


1. IM SAYING HOW RUBBER reacts the same way to spinning.... i knew they were not the same compounds, it just came out wrong..


2. 6 forward and 1 reverse? please stop being a retard, IM TALKING ABOUT 7 FORWARD GEARS LIKE THE MOVIE HAD.

add on and not new guts huh?

you told me that all the cluster shaft was replaced with smaller gears to make it fit? now its only 2? WHAT MATERIAL DID THEY USE then if they were able to do this? musta been a STRONGER MATERIAL, id like to know what that was.

OH AND NOW DOESNT THIS STATEMENT CONDRADICT WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE?

Quote:
they do make kits the swap out ALL of your internals both shafts and all the gears.. the reason it fits is they are thinner gears so more fit in the same space.. My friend however was not going to do that. I'm not sure if it was an option or not but the 6th gear was and had been done to another Z locally.



they replaced ALL the internals and yet just the last gears?

im so high in feces im in pain, let alone if your boy did have 7 forward speeds like i was argueing the ratio of that would be like .4 and you would need either 1000+ hp to pull it USUABLY or 5.60+ ring and pinion.

2. the presence of smoke is PRECISELY what im argueing thanks for joining the conversation.
