Dude to show how people misconstrue what other people say. I never said they use different metallurgy. I just said they are allowed to use more lightweight materials.
Al. The metal is the same. Some ares are less reinforced than others. Then I mentioned also that titanium is widely used in jdm aftermarket parts.
When I say they use more lightweight material. I'm saying this...
A aluminum reiforcement on a car versus a steel reinforcement creates more weight in the steel reinforcement. The japanese don't use steel as a reinforcement IN SOME CARS. We in the us do. We do not accept aluminum as a legitimate reinforcement.
This is why we had issues getting the skyline n gtr. The G37 and skyline are not the same in chassis reinforcement.
This is what I'm saying. Most of you guys I thought were seasoned enthusiasts and understood this concept and didn't need links to show this.
And no it wasn't just metallurgy. A lot of guys told me to prove that the Z n fairlady were different in weight. I have been getting insulted over it all week. Then made fun of.
I didn't get the links cuz people were rude. N wen I asked for real enthusiasts. It wasn't to hurt peoples feelings. It was more to converse on a functional mod level than who has the best Z n crap like that. Or just dyno sheets. (Which are cool but need to be finished with some accel times. When my Z comes in. I will be more than happy to go to TMS n laser the ride to get u that info. But I would like to see others too
).A lot of senseless arguing lately.
Right now a new 7at and 6m thread for the hundreth time just popped up. N though I think the question dude is asking is legit. I bet sum1 will go in there and fu€k it up.
That whole metallurgy thing. Totally misconstrued. A lot of lil clicks in here. Independant minded or newbies or people that have less knowledge get ridiculed up in here.
My statement in the blog bout this forum goin down the tubes....
When I do a search of threads written b4 may. A lot of good stiuff. No chastizing. And people teaching. Now... its mock fest. Everyone is clicked up n lookin to find peoples weaknesses. Its stupid. We can all learn from each other. But that's not the goal here.
Racial comments like I don't speak guido, or dumb comments like slap whoever told u that in the face is extremely common and disrespectful. And it causes a$$hole rebuttals to cum from me. Which I shouldn't even waste my time but anyway.
Here's your proof. Nuff said.
Yeah there's slang in my writing. Yeah there's a couple typos. I ain't fixin sh1t. This how its stayin. N yeah I'm a fu€k1n sp1k. A puerto rican sp1k. But I'm a sp1k that keepz it gully 24/7 n fu€k wh@t any1 has 2 say. So no I'm no GUIDO! IF U GUNNA CALL ME OUT? DO IT RIGHT! GET IT RIGHT... that ones for joe d. Wit a bullet.
