  1. OK so i am working on a friend of mines 78 280z, he wanted me to intsall a aftermarket fuel pump he went with the walboro 255, external pump. I installed it in the stock location in the stock brackets. Put the power and ground on , primed the pump, turn the key heard it run tried to start the car, started and ran for less than a minute then died. Cranked and nothing no fuel, primed it again and same thing happened. Does the new pump need a new heavier relay to stay running, i burnt up my magnetic test leads running the pump on 12v. If any one has any suggestions that would be great !!!!!

  2. yea i guess im fishing a little bit lol, i actually need to find out again what my 5spd is from, when i got the car for free!! it already had the 5spd in it. so now i just need to determine the year. A custom cradle for my swap will definitly be used, an im trying to think of a way that i can convert to dry sump, maby make a kit and sell it. Any machine shop can put a different bushing in the trans to make the bearing hole bigger or smaller, i just thought it would be better if i didnt have to go through all the nonsense and just bolt it up and go.

  3. ok i was told something totally different, in order to retain the stock l28 5 spd, you would have to pull the 56mm bearing off the counter shaft and replace it with,62mm one, the ka transmissions bell housing has to be used,but there is a problem the 280zx top shift rod is 14mm in diameter, but the ka bell housing has a 16mm hole for the 71c larger shaft. only the 1st/2nd shift rod was enlarged to 16mm, the other two are 14mm; The same as the 71b, bu

  4. i just have a quick question, whats the wheel base in the rear of a 280z compared to the z31 and z32? any wider, are the mustache bars different? and if the wheel base is the same why not just swap the rear subframe an all into the 280z, best of both world disc brakes, better rear, so on and so forth. If i am in the wrong thread please direct me to the correct one!

  5. would it be more cost effective to make the parts out of fg then lay cf over the fg? just a thought, i wanted to do my whole car that way i needed 57 yards or so, i found it for like 2400, then my friend that does interiors said he can get me the materials for 1200 or so. basically it would be a carbon wrap, no weight reduction but would look sinisterly cool lol:flamedevi

  6. ok well i want to try an do the concept, but it will be based on the original body and im using a 77 280z ,basically ill try and make the mold the best i can because no where on this thread are any of the dimensions. and im just crazy enough to do it with a whole lot of help from my local body shop and long sleepless nights. the front end seem extremely do able, but the louvers and the tails not to sure on that yet unless i find suitable tails lol and im not to keen on the louvers anyway, but from the pictures it looks like the widend the body so ill make molded fender flares, and yea permission would be nice but ill just do it any way, but i dont know if i can get it exact , just because its not my design.! ill try and keep posted and take pictures first things first stripp the 77's body , i have to wait for my tax return though ;(
