    My inability to get involved with FB groups has lead me to instagram for a long time, but I think I'm heading back here for a bit. Generally better discourse and certainly better information. In line with the thread, I really wish I was #23! When I blew up my Rebello back in 2022 and made the call to go LS, a small part of my brain wishes I had done more math to see what the LS would actually cost to swap in, vs Dereks head. I think it would have been pretty close at the end of the day, and a whole heap of fun. Thanks for doing what you did, do, and continue to do @Derek!!

    I refuse to join FB groups for that exact reason. If you really want to learn, do some research, enroll in a community college course, apply yourself. Instead it seems a large majority are expecting everything to be handed to them and then arguing about the information/experience shared.

    I feel like Megasquirt and ITBs on my car is like a game of whack a mole. Getting it to work under hard pulls isn't an issue but getting it to be tame in normal driving scenarios can be daunting.

    I commented on a post about scammer groups and said that if we were still on forums there would be better control of this. Since there are 9 bazillion S30 groups it hardly got seen and the one comment was "forums are too cumbersome" I go there because that's where the customers are but I'll be dammed if I'm going to answer stuff that I know for a fact has been documented in detail on one of the three forums. The answer to every question I see should be "google it"

    It’s been a while since I’ve read on this thread. I wish I was # 23 ! Wish the thread did see more action as well as the site . I’m so tired of the FB shit

    Hi there, I am running the Holly Retrobrights on my 1978 280z. Currently I have lowbeams and high beams at the same time, but if I switch to just low beams, I have nothing. I also do not have running lights, just high beam. So here I am trying to construct your creation! I am running into a few issues. The Red 12v wire from the top switch seems to be 10 gauge wire with matching 12-10 gauge bullet connectors. How did you get these two to connect with the connectors for the 14 gauge wire connectors?

    I for one appreciate what Derek has accomplished, and if I had the bucks would buy it, but I really can't see it ever becoming a commodity at commodity pricing. But then, I have an automatic that doesn't like high rpm and am limited by that to 4-500 HP with a turbo - and my stock head works for that.

    No idea on the owner but wow! I would have grabbed that hatch for the history in it alone. Rare to see these in a junkyard these days as well, very cool.

    How did the project end up turning out? I’ve got an 86 that I’d like to do this with… just a dream at the moment.

    Do you plan to do any chassis reinforcement? Cage?

    @Mr.Roboto, FYI -- tried several times, and am unable to open the image(s); and it doesn't seem to be a working link either. If others are having the same issue, you'll probably need to reload. If you want to message me the image(s), I can try loading from my end. Your call...

    05-10-2025. I did a lot of odds and ends today.....little things put off.....I just went around and fixed as I saw them. I used the clear PPF film over the carbon fiber on the inner fender as it was getting real ratty looking on the edges. I also cut some pieces, and put it on the 2 spots the seats are showing wear from being a big guy getting in and out of the car. Will they work on Vinyl? Not sure, but I need something there. Seams showing some cracks due to my poor bodywork skills, this seals them so I can just forget about it and enjoy the car.t Tuch up painting all over the place, then vacuuming....I guess you could call it spring cleaning. I went back to a novel way of richening up the carb a little....washers under the choke know to add fuel everywhere and buy add a washer at a time I have been able to make a lot of progress on getting it right. The other way would be to buy a richer needle, but this is easy, cheap, I already have the parts, and it works. In short it was just a nice sunny day and I got stuff done. I did take A LOT of pics, so the pics I will put on here.....it's pics heavy. so you are forewarned. Cheers and God bless.~Joe

    Got the front suspension and sway bar off today. Fought me a little bit, but impact helped a lot and had to take a sawzall to the toe arms, but it’s all out.

    I’m hoping to get some work done on the car this weekend. So close to being done with tearing stuff down and ready to add stuff. Just got this dual master cylinder kit that I hope I can make work. It’ll let me adjust front/rear brake bias in the car.

    Hi. Did it end up working?

    Ordered some cheaply sponge filters while I wait for my CAI box to get finished . Made a smaller vacuum log -3/4” PVC pipe . Despite having one of my widebands flaking on me I was able to drive around well enough that I wasn’t scared of dying on the road anywhere . Not much help out there for guys running MS and ITBS. Seems most Haltech or others . I’ve also got different perspectives on how to load certain tables . I have Yanni saying that all the tables can be run off of TPS and Richard that says running timing off of MAP is best . Presently I am going to try and run it all TPS . I can only hope the FAJS version of a TPS is accurate and reliable . I might eventually go with a contactless style from EFI hardware . For now I haven’t gotten past 38% TPS on my tuning so I’m not stressing my TPS to hard that’s for sure . Honestly - I didn’t think it would run even this good this early in the tune . I am trying to be patient with throttle input since I do hit big lean spots . I am also learning how to use Megalog Viewer at the same time that has a VE analyzer which is pretty damn cool .

    As an FYI....it is my understanding that we would not be able to keep HybridZ up & running without those paying advertisers. The donations taken in every year only cover a small portion of the annual operating costs.

    Used ITBS seem to be very rare. HKS, I would stay away from the full chinese DCOE ones. KMS takes the chinese bodies and retrofits them with better butterflies and such. https://en.kms.vankronenburg.nl/products/throttle-bodies/bodies/throttlebody-twin Then there are Jenvy EFI Hardware (probably the best designed out) Throttle blades open the opposite way, tapered bore, better throttle blade angles Borla OER(I would stay away from these) ETC.... A common issue with ITB is when the engine is hot on a hot day, they tend to stick slightly open and having them return to idle doesn't work. I believe the bodies expand and cause pinching, but who knows.

    Only part I could find was the capacitor. When I removed them from the 2 clocks I had, the one from the non working clock tested good, and the one from the slow clock tested bad. I replaced them both. Now the slow clock works and holds time, but the non working one must have another issue because it still doesn't move.
