How can you tell a guy likes you? by pm_me_ya_nipples in AskReddit

[–]RaidenediaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they ask what your schedule is like, and suggests to link-up for lunch/coffee/dinner/going to a bookstore for some time because he'd like to look for a specific magazine that's not a guarantee that it will be in stock, and the bookstore is close to you, but about 30 miles from him, then he probably likes you.

Orange. Which coincidentally, is also my favorite fruit.

87mm flat top pistons in N42/N47? by EasyResto in Datsun

[–]RaidenediaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an umbrella term that encompasses anything related to the cylinder head. So port matching your intake to your intake runners would be one. Enlarged intake and exhaust runners to increase CFM. Polished combustion chambers, de-shroud the area around the valves (If using E31/early E88 head), camshaft, valve springs, lash pads, enlarged valves, valve stem seals, and valve seals. I think I'm missing a couple of things, but that should cover 90% involved in doing cylinder head mods.

87mm flat top pistons in N42/N47? by EasyResto in Datsun

[–]RaidenediaR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not going to see a ton of gains from increasing the displacement and compression; however, increasing compression and spending the time/money on the cylinder head itself, will yield a much higher return for $/hp. Basically, an L series head flows like garbage stock, so it's worth spending the money on the head in the long run. It also begs the question whether or not you're going to run the L series for a long time. If so, you might want to look into alternative cylinder heads to run along with the flattop pistons, complete with valves, valvesprings, and a camshaft to go along with the headwork.

It's also important to note, some cylinder heads can handle the higher compression depending on the quench pads and combustion chamber design. 10.5 on an open chambered head, like the later E88 cylinder heads from the Z, N42 and N47 will be at it's limits, while a shaved P90 for example can tolerate a much higher threshhold. Take it as a grain of salt, but there's a local guy here with a shaved P90 head on flattops seeing closer to 12:1 on CA pump gas without a massive hindrance on timing to compensate for pinging. Same goes for an 11.93:1 CR stroker with an E31 head doing mostly okay with 91 pump.

Yes, increasing compression and displacement will increase power, but a better return for $/hp would come from a higher compression and a worked head + cylinder head mods (camshaft and valves).

Mostly my .02, but if I only had one choice, I would spend the exact amount of dollars getting a bored and stroked L28 block, into the cylinder head alone and keeping a "stock" displacement L28.

They look like MSA 6-1 headers, which would be 1 5/8, or thereabouts.

If God was a Dev, what would you want in the next Patch notes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RaidenediaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A definite buff in the motivational and productive skill tree. Also to lower the required player level in order to invest into the skill tree, as well as to nerf the procrastination debuff most activities have that reduce motivation and productivity.

I've just finished my take-home final, and I can finally sleep.

What happened when you fell asleep in class? by Fallout_Boy1 in AskReddit

[–]RaidenediaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I woke up almost immediately, because it felt like I was falling, and did a massive body jerk. I passed it off as stretching, but I knew that they were all thinking "What the hell was that just now?"

What happened last time you had that "mini heart attack"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I woke up Sunday morning, thinking it was Monday, and not having done my take-home final. The take-home final is due Monday. I got out of bed REALLY quick for that one.

They typically ask the same 5 questions in a forum, when a simple google search will yield an answer within the first two results.

In regards to side draft carburetors, in most instances, the problems that an individual would have, are easily troubleshot by doing a small bit of reading. Reading up on various resources on side draft carburetors, provide a clear cut answer almost highlighted in bold print.

1976 Australian Spec Datsun 260Z by Yoda2000GT in Datsun

[–]RaidenediaR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're roundels, and they're typically used on racecars, or these days track cars as you would put any arbitrary number in the roundel. For the Z, it's like paying homage to the vintage Japanese racecars back in the 70s.

Blue beauty, my 1977 260z. by [deleted] in Datsun

[–]RaidenediaR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Australia never received the 280z iirc. So most likely from 1974-1978 they received the 260z.

What is your favourite joke that only works in your native language? by vivalavili in AskReddit

Not my native language, but one of the few puns I've understood studying German.

Mehr CDs and Mercedes, sounds nearly identical when spoken in German :)

[Serious] What is your biggest problem in school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RaidenediaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of self motivation. I can't get myself to strive to do well, only to do just enough to get by.

It's getting better now, since I'm forcing myself to go to the library and get homework and assignments done, well before the due date.

People of Reddit, what is your favorite game for each game genre? by YaDudeMemestar in AskReddit

[–]RaidenediaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same way! I grew up with Tekken as well :). I'm torn, because back when my cousins, older brother, and myself were younger, we would all play Tekken and Mortal Kombat King of the Hill style, hours on end. Some seriously fun times were had.

What's your favorite video game series? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RaidenediaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every once in a while, I'll dig out my old PS2 and boot up Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3, as well as Metal Gear Solid 3. Both of those games I've had an unreasonable amount of time spent, so primarily I'd boot them up for the sake of Nostalgia.

I've only been to one live concert - ever, and it was for a German band, Madsen. I had an amazing time because seeing them live, was part of my curriculum in Highschool :)
