Nissan Fairlady 350Z Light Weight Rear Bonnet For Drift Race

MCF-forumers, I am looking to purchase a used 350Z roadster. However, I was looking for some advice first - 1. Anyone knows if the auto gearbox can take torque mods and how much can the gearbox take? 2. Any cautions from bros who used before? 3. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Mark Parisi is a man. Like many men, Mark Parisi has two testicles. Like fewer men, Mark Parisi has decided he does not need two testicles, and would prefer instead to have one testicle and one Nissan 370Z. Which is why (according to the clip) Mark Parisi is to donate one of his testicles to medical research in exchange for 35,000 US dollars. Which is around S$44,000. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgg4-1lVuFo Mark Parisi made this revelation on American station CBS’s show The Doctors. Mark Parisi’s revelation raises a number of ethical and moral dilemmas. What is the value of a testicle? A Nissan 370Z? Will both get you a GT-R?? According to sources, US$35K is the going rate for one slightly used testicle, so if you get nothing else from this story, gentlemen, when times are bad, at least you know that you have about S$88k swinging between your legs(Which, where we are, is actually not even enough for a Nissan March at the moment).

It's no longer a secret that car modifications are something favoured by plenty of car owners out there. In fact, some even feel proud if they are able to modify their car and give it a cooler look than any other cars out there. This is also felt by Kelvin, a young man from Bandung, Indonesia. Kelvin is an owner of a Toyota Ist, a hatchback from Japanese automaker Toyota. At first, Kelvin wasn't really a modification enthusiast and he was only used to dressing up his car a little. Nevertheless, living among several extreme car modification enthusiasts, he was eventually plagued by the car modification virus as well. As a result, his dressed up Toyota Ist changed completely. The first thing that came to his mind was how his car could catch the eyes of passer bys. For this, he chose a candy gold paint. According to Kelvin, not only can this colour catch people's eyes, it also has a high artistic value. It took two months for the Signal Kustom modification house to paint the car completely and, quite perfectly, too. The result was indeed eyecatching. However, a nice body paint wouldn't be complete if not accompanied by nice body kits as well. Therefore, Kelvin decided that he would use a VeilSide product and finally chose one that's actually meant for use with the Nissan 350Z Fairlady. As you can tell, the installation of this body kit required a lot of work due to the different curves and dimensions on the car from those of the Fairlady. Things got even trickier when Kelvin demanded that the body kits should be easily detachable. Unfortunately, not all parts of the car, such as the bumpers, could be made so. Kelvin's demand for the detachable body kits could only be applied on the front spoiler, front/rear fenders, side skirts, and the engine hood which featured air vents on the centre and the sides of it. The next thing to pay attention to was the rims. To match the bloating fenders, Kelvin had to use 8.5" rims (front) and 10" rims (rear). For the design and appearance of the rims to look attractive, Kelvin decided that he would use six-spoke rims painted in gold, too, just like the body of the car, surrounded by a chrome accent. For the interior, Kelvin only applied minor modifications. He modified the audio and applied leather material to the seats. Unfortunately, though, all the modifications seem useless in the end. You can say it was nothing but wasting money. For your information, though, Kelvin's Toyota Ist did win several trophies. Costing Rp150 million in total, the Ist was reverted to its original look with only minor modifications just within a month after the makeover was completed. We don't think it's worth the hard work and the total cost incurred in modifying his car. What do you think? Photo credit: Kompas Otomotif

[extract] Rumours about Nissan releasing a smaller sports model has been around for quite some time. Currently, the company has two sports models which are the 370Z and the GT-R (three, if you were to count the 2-door Skyline). But that might change soon as Nissan

Why Apple Can't Stop iPhone Hackers AT&T and Apple may face an uphill battle prosecuting hackers who untether the iPhone from the AT&T wireless network by Olga Kharif It sure sounds like a steal. On Aug. 31, George Hotz plans to trade in his iPhone for a metallic blue Nissan (NSANY) 350Z sports car and three brand-new iPhones. But the 17-year-old's device is no ordinary Apple phone. Hotz hacked his iPhone and unlocked it so that it can be used on a variety of cell-phone networks, becoming the first person known to have done so. The person buying Hotz's phone, Terry Daidone, believes he's the one getting the deal because Hotz has agreed to work for him at his cell-phone refurbishing company, CertiCell. Daidone says he doesn't plan to sell unlocked iPhones just yet. Rather, he says that he wants Hotz to teach CertiCell's technicians the secrets to unlocking other kinds of cell phones. But that could change
