I am in dire need of a T5 for a L28 block, and a R200 rear diff. Can anyone help?

I am about to purchase some wheels for my 280 and just want to check that the bolt patter is a 114.3x4, do I just order for a 1995 240sx and do I need an adapter or spacer for them to work?

Do you people think $500 is to much for a rebuilt p90 head

Now I thought with a lower cr it will be harder for the start and idle of the car and the drive ability will suffer a tad, being I am always around an elavation of 4500 to 5000. If this is the case I am gonna go with the 8:5-1

yes I was looking into cryo fuel rail and intake cooling along with my intercooler, but will not use the intercooler sprayer.

I must have read wrong MSA is the ones with flattops these other companies don't specify what the pistons are other than being forged. theser parts show me and tell me when I called that I have a choice in cr. One company importperfomanceparts.net say they are forged with a choice of cr being 8:5-1 or 9:1-1 the other racetep.com are labeled JE set for turbo with choice of bore, stroke, and cr. Now I know this motor of mine does have some wear and tear. I know I have raced it on the street for alittle over a year now and who nows what the other owner did with it. I want to say I might be better off rebuilding it just to be safe. A reason for wanting to rebuild is it wont only be a racer. I would like to make to some shows. I need as much as possible to nice and new to count for shows. I am kinda limiting myself to 2000 on the block and 2000 on head. That is what I am going to spend. So things still may change, but to let everyone know I will be spending a nice bit of change on both. I am a machinist which will help alot with machine work, which is why I am wasting the extra money where I would be spending elsewhere.

I actually have two head a n42 and n47. the n47 need some work the cam chirps. Im driving the with n42 now out of a 76 280z. I also have a spare block. All the work is being done on a motor out of the 77 I pulled from the junkyard. I only drove that motor for 2 days before the head started to chirp. I was lucky to have another complete from a 76 so I just dropped it in to drive. Both motors are around 80k give or take 1k I was also looking at a whole motor out of a 83 just for the head and manifolds though, since the block is cracked. Might be a good later investment. UNKOWN right know of overall condition, I just know the block is cracked for sure.

Normally I to would not have went with this I actually found it with the 83 harness,afm,computer. It is going to get changed for the megasquirt once I learn more. Looking into as we speak. Let me to Rephrase I ordered for my brother didnt pay for, but got the wrecked car back from a junkyard after his wreck. I wasnt sure what he did to it till after I pulled it out of the yard. Wasn't excpecting to see it again. I pulled my 77 out the same day I pulled his 76

I would like to think my motor is in good enough shape. Im at 80k. For 1300 bucks I can get a complete block build kit without the crank, and I cant pass it up just to know when it is installed it will be new and strong. This kit also gives me wide range of cr to choose from. My intetion was to go 10:1 but since lower seems to be the way to go I will look into how low they offer. I am debating on a turbo still. I would really like the step or two down from the dico potato from jim wolf, hince the building of the strong block. That is still just an idea because those turbos are just unbelievable. I would like to run 10 to 14 psi constant but would like to handle 25 Since it looks like i am going to start with my original head, I want a different cam from schnieder to bump up the rpms from 6.5 to 8. This is just temporary till I can find a p90 Some parts I am looking at are here http://www.importperformanceparts.net/

I should have mentioned a higher octane but I am limited and those limitations present a huge gap from 91 to 111 to 114 octane with no additives to boost the octane. For now I am equipped with a 83 computer that was ordered out of california for a previous car, but I am looking into the megasquirt. Driving around on 111 would be ideal for me but it will be expensive.

and yes you did help me I forgot to add you in the phrase. Sorry for the confusiuon. Truely sorry. For everyone if we got off on the wrong foot please forgive me. I was being attaked from all ends that day here and didn't mean to take it out on the wrong people. This is the last junk I promise As for the searching thing I work all day, I go to college, so the rest of my day goes to working on my z. The last thing I have time to do is search. Dont get me wrong I don't mind searching I just cant cram it in my schedule to often.

ok then bare with me for a minute. Here is a basic run through on plans. The block is getting bored to 88mm, I am going forged flattop since they are easier and cheaper, but here is where I get the crap. I want a 10:1 ratio for response since I am at 9:1 now. I am sure as I go along it will get lower. H-beam rods, and pefrormance gaskets and seals, stock crank for now, as of now i am going with 300zx twin turbo injectors till I get more money. It will be intercooled with a garret turbo from an 86. The head is getting completly overhauled with bigger cam and better valves, springs,etc. also port and polishing. I want to run at least 10 psi, I dont mind on the hp I just miss my turbo and want one in my 280. So you can say I am planning on spending some cash but keep in mind I am not made of it either. Now you know a start lets work from there. This has been brewing for over 3yrs now, so I hope the reaserch I have done isn't a waste and the plans seem ok. I am expecting alot of trouble shooting and problems. So please feel free to tell me where I am going wrong or even if some think its a good start that info would be appreciated to.

let me run through alittle of the plans for the engine. My block is getting bored to 87 or 88mm not quite sure yet. Putting Ross forged flattop pistons, H-beam rods,performance rings and head gasket, stock crank, and alittle of the small things. I am still deciding on dished or flatop, but more than likely flatops unless I can find a nice dished piston. I plan on a 10:1 ratio. So the block should be fine. Now the head is my concern. I would like to find a p90 to build but I am having a very tough time. If I stick with mine I am putting in a bigger cam and the rest of internals plus port and polishing and flowbench it.

thanx guys. I have found what you mean with the search and its been answered before. I appreciate your info it helps a bunch. I had a 86 turbo 300, but didnt like it. I prefer the S30 models. I have been in this persuit for about 3 years now and have had very little progress. For starters my 77 came from a junkyard, so this is my personal build project. I hate to ask but any of you guys have a link or something to send me in a direction for buying a p79 or p90 head, all I can find is a bad 83 engine and dont know if it is worth the 500 bucks.

for you ppl that think i dont know anything, I know more than you think. I thought this was a place to help, but it seems most ppl are arogant pricks. I have an idea and can do it I just want info. All I am asking is what head do you ppl recommend. And dont think you ppl are spoon feeding me anything, I have been build for awhile now this is just my first long block. I just want help not arogance. And thank you skib and smokey for info thats helps Thanx a bunch. Not to be a prick I am just looking for ppl like skib and smokey that are kind enough to help. I would also appreciate it if you are only gonna criticize me just keep your words to yourself. Im not here to fight words with ppl, I am trying to build a nice car. Please leave the forum for helping opinions only, I though there were rules about junk like this.
