  1. Well never mind , a little search brings up all kinda of ideas and opinions.
  2. So if you have followed my son's build blog on here you know we hurt the motor last year. He is tooquick260 on here. We had the motor rebuilt, installed, plumbed and wired the motor. Fired it last weekend. Lucky fired right up once we got oil pressure. Of course with oil pressure the oil cooler lines decided to leak and we had an exhaust leak. So working on that. I live 300 miles away and will be back next weekend to finish everything. Question? Do I need the engine breather pipe? The builder of the motor removed the engine vent pipe, installed a freeze plug. I know building my air cooled vw motors I ran breather box that had the motor vented to the valve covers. Used the Clyde Berg designed one that was an oil filler that had baffles. So do I need to remove freeze plug , reinstall pipe and vent it? L28 motor, P90 head , Schneider cam, 8.2 to 1 compression, 280zx turbo, MS3PRO megasquirt,500cc injectors, 6 speed S-15 tranny, Z32 rear diff and brakes.
  3. Rebekah. Lol When we go in to the ho down. Crazy things people do?
  4. Got the datsun back together. Started right up. 2 issues exhaust leak and oil cooler line leaks at the filter sandwhich Plate. Tune seems off. Was chasing to many other things to get into that. New motor is the L26 bored out to L28. I'm sure I will have to go thru the tune again.
  5. Hey great to see another z in Orlando. Have a son that is there, we have a project going on. I am planning on going down to work on it this weekend.
  6. Nothing like that feeling! Congrats, hopefully we are there again soon. Motor stabbed in, just have the accessories to put on. That's on tooquick260.
  7. Got 310 tq with stock ports, stock intake, Schneider turbo cam, stock turbo and 500cc injectors. Booster controller, intercooler and megasquirt. what a blast
  8. Let me know. We have a couple in the garage. If you can't get one close by.
  9. Congrats Plata. What's the cost to buy 4 dr and transport?
  10. Got back to the house to help wit some wrench turning. Helped get the engine back in. Making progress.
  11. Great idea. Since we moved the battery any ways I can put the grounding block in that service area.
  12. Now that we are putting the motor back in, want to make it cleaner routing wiring etc. How and where have you run your grounds to? I had most of ours run to the top tranny engine bolt. That was about 10 grounds. Setup is MS3PRO. This build blog is under tooquick260.
  13. I think the motor is back together. He used the 260 block. Used 280z dished pistons with new rings. ARP bolts for rods, main caps and head studs. Cometic 2mm head gasket. All new hardware etc. Now time to hang the motor, install the new dif.
  14. We took the z32 maf off runs good on map.
  15. Lol, that's awesome. Looking forward to hearing your results.
  16. I can't. Alex just started a new job. Trying to get car back together. Parts at machine shop getting balanced and set up.
  17. I was fortunate enough to get an l28 short block from Brad up here in Savannah. Like the free stuff. the crank, rods and pistons are useable. Had to much water/rust in 5/6 cylinders. So, using those in our other block. Thats where we stand. looking at turbo's as well. May have ours updated or get something else and go external waste gate to negate the boost creep. Also may use methanol injection ontop of that to help out.
