  1. I have not opened it up yet, working on getting my garage built and want to drive it in when done (not push in) I hope to have it done in a month or so. I agree, I must have been knocking really bad, I will be using another tuner this time around. I have another F54 block that I want to get sonic tested to see how far I can take it, they I will know what pistons to get. I plant to get the rings & pistons quoted this time around, and with a proper tune it should last this time.
  2. Hi there I'm getting ready to rebuild my turbo engine and need some recommendation on rings. I used Hastings in my last 2 builds and in both (different blocks) I had some blowby. My first build (ITM pistons, Hastings rings, Clevite rod bearings, hole is piston #2 running 16psi) had worn rings after 6 or 7 thousand miles, made sure I had the turbo rings on the 2nd build (factory turbo pistons) and will have the checked when I tear it down. Thanks Simon
  3. Hi all, I know old post but can't find anything newer with any answers. Anyone ever figure this out? I tried connecting the stock zx sensor to my MS2 and followed the wiring instructions but had no luck getting it to work. I have one wire going to MS2 grounding point the other going in on the tan/green SPR3 input. These are the instructions I used from the hardware manual. 3.4.9.1 Analogue inputs The JS4, JS5 connections on the MS2 card can be used as 0-5V analogue inputs. Parts required. One 1k 1/8W (or 1/4W) resistor, one 0.22uF 10V ceramic capacitor. Solder into proto area.Run jumper wire to JS4 or JS5 (your choice.) Run jumper wire to SPR3 or SPR4 (your choice.) Analogue options: MAF, 2nd O2 sensor, Baro sensor, misc sensor. Input pin name Processor (DIP40) pin number Note JS4/AD7 30 Analogue input or digital input JS5/AD6 29 Analogue input or digital input When used for a misc analogue sensor input, JS5 is datalogged as ADC6 on a scale of 0-1023 points and JS4 is datalogged as ADC7. See the TunerStudio manual for more detail Thanks
  4. Hello I am looking for the early maxima bracket so I can use the 280zx hardware I already have. Anyone have or know who still makes these?(and don't cost $200) All the ones i found are for the 240SX and the maxima/300 setup. Thanks
  5. Hi there I have one out of a 82ZXT. Let me know if still looking.
  6. Thanks for the suggestions. I emailed Isky asking about the cost for a regrind but have not heard back, i might have to give them a call.
  7. Are you still looking for one? I have one and I'm in NC. PM me if interested. Simon
  8. Thanks rossman any recommendation on where to send the cam?
  9. Hello all I have a P90A head, I took the lifters apart and cleaned. They look okay to me, no visible pitting or damage but not really sure what to look for. Before I buy a new cam for it (old one was damaged in storage) I wanted some input; is it worth buying a stage II Schneider for the P90A or should I ditch the hydraulic lifters and convert it to a solid lifter? I have read many posts on how too but not much info on people running the hydraulic lifters and if they are having problems with them or not. I like the idea of a quieter engine and wouldn't mind connecting a knock sensor to the MS2. I am currently running a P90 with 16 PSI of boost. No issues and the car runs fine, just looking to make it a little better. Thanks Simon
  10. Summit Racing has the Cardone 31-1003 for a decent price. I saw a couple shafts on ebay. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaz-31-1003?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-cardone-industries&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6Yj3qb7K3wIVxp-zCh3HdwkJEAYYASABEgIhjvD_BwE
  11. Water bottle did not work, too thick and not long enough, inner-tube is next.
  12. Thanks Grannyknot, I checked them out and it is 34 bucks for a used one shipped. If I wanted to stay OEM yeah it's ok deal but I don't and that's too much for a used one. I ordered a rubber water bottle that should be here Tuesday, I will upload a picture if it works. Cheers
  13. Thanks Tim, I am not concerned with OEM at this point, I just need something that will work.
  14. Greetings I took the wiper motor out of my 280z to cleanup the linkage and service the motor. The protective bag ripped on me in a few places plus it is so brittle it looks like it will far apart soon. I have searched (sorry if I missed it) and as we know there are several posts dealing with the motor but could not find anything on bag replacement options. I was thinking maybe an inter tube or even a hot water bottle? My buddy suggested a turkey cooking bag doubled up and sealed with hot glue, I know that sounds weird but might be a good option. Your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Zlost
