  1. Hi, all so here is the question that i hope to have answered and since I know that other hybrid-zer's have done this swap. I have a 89sx se running, a 82 p-79 zx engine/transmission and a 78 n47 engine/transmission-this one is currently in a 78 2+2 (no rear half of car). my main goal is street-ablity all the wok will be done by me and I am on a serious budget 2000-3000, and the reason that I need to replace the current motor is cylinder #4 is leaking oil and probably will not last that long. wiring and steel mod's are not an issue.hope to get some good responses. Thanks Brandon.
  2. sounds like the throw out bearing has gone out in the clutch " The slave "does its thing" and actuates the lever " which pushes the throw out bearing in to the clutch and releases it drop the trans and replace the bearing but it could also be that the fly wheel bolts have come loose which has happened to me before and i dropped the trans 3 times and changed the entire clutch before i noticed that the bolts had worked loose for having a bad harmonic balancer . check that first before you replace the bearing.
  3. 250-500 amps depends on the size, the weight is the same but they have longer shafts for different uses.
  4. I was just wondering if you could use 480v 3 phase a/c power to charge your setup? if so u can get a heliocopter generator (alternator) that at full speed 8000 rpm produces 400hz but if you powered it down to 1200 rpm you would have 480v 3 phase 60 hz for a quick charge ? just throwing ideas out there. it weighs 48 lbs and is the size of a r-200 pumpkin not the goose neck. ?
  5. "Then, not only did you get a great deal but you have a one of a kind color:ugg:" lol most of the time a mis-tint is too much met or the wrong color metalic in the paint not a different color . The most common is charcoal which is a hard color to get right. unless of course we want to spend 40 for a gal of duplicolor or 25-30 for rustoleum but i am just adding a different route and I have persolnally had 3 cars that are mis-tints you would never know.
  6. 147 in my 83 280zx n/a mild cam and suspension according to the ticket in 1999 COPS are were so nice to not arrest me. speed-o was 85 for a while, but did have to join the navy to avoid problems 142 in my 84 zx n/a which was the same speed that the motor died while racing a viper on I-10, in 2001. coming home from navy school. and now I just cruise to morosso in west palm beach to let out any frustration. tickets suck and cost almost $6000 with the sr-22 insurance i had to have. DO Not drive like a moron.
  7. hello all on a side note if you have a finish-masters or a car paint store (call a local paint shop and ask where they get their paint ) go in and ask for mis-tints or rejects $20 gallon for emron or other dupont paint. The stores have a few screw-ups color matching paint which means a $200 gal costs $20. Just adding a idea.
  8. hum, the closest thing that is currently out there is a garmin gvn 52 or off brand (IE: Pyle,dual.) but these only work if you have a video screen. personally I am in the process of removing the speedo and installing a gps receiver in the original location. so to answer your question yes you can but it is far more expensive to get a separate gps system. sorry.
  9. Pil, nice car. and I am now the proud owner of a 78 2+2 which will be the next project.hope it turns out like the one's I have seen here.
  10. hum, I just wanted to share my 2cts, I prefer cascade vb2 on all my stereo installs. the showdown said this "The Cascade VB2 is a completely different composition than the other mats. It held up very well, but I only included it in this showdown out of curiosity. Cascade has contacted me and will be sending samples of their butyl damping mat for future testing" I have installed this material when i sell a car audio installs, they also have a good Waterproof Dampening Spray these are just what I have found to work and be affordable and the spray has high heat rejection.( put it on my sisters firewall which has a stainless racing header 1 1/2" away and she no longer feels the heat from it) once again this is just my 2 cents worth and I hope that if you are going to buy a product be sure that you have a good idea that it is made for your application. (also my in car decible level with the spray behind all doors and under the carpet on the top went down 17.3 db and my system increased 9.7 db). Thanks.....
  11. Truly wonderfull info so far. cant (but I must) wait to see what really works and what blows. thanks again. THIS SITE ROCKS.
  12. JDMFairladyZX at my local junk yard I have 2 99% complete 280zxT'S AND WILL be going there next weekend. I also have my family in west palm so let me know if you need some thing from them also my dad and his friends have (9-12) l28/ l28t motors and parts.
