Picking away are a huge punch list now. Got the side windows installed. And the hatch for the fuel cell. Didn't want to use diamond plate, but it is just the right thickness. Maybe I will paint it later. Also finishing up my custom S30 laser alignment system.

YouTube Link Video shows symptoms. Drove the Z to a friend's house, camped out in it overnight, used the battery to run a fan. Battery wept and humidity made a lot of corrosion underneath, but the wires are good. Tried jumping it with another V8 before swapping battery, to no avail. Bought a new battery and swapped it out, same symptoms. Tried starting in P and N. Need to get multimeter out of storage to do more testing. As you can see from the video, it builds rail pressure in between 20 and 40 PSI, but then just keeps looping that. It never stops priming and never reaches the desired number. The engine never turned over and the starter always clunks. It feels like it's being stopped by something that isn't the starter or motor though. Fuel pump is in-line/out of tank. Absolutely no symptoms from starter or fuel pump prior to this, car was running well. FiTech is showing no codes but I have a battery disconnect switch that I use every time I park so it probably won't be showing codes. Has anyone come across anything like what the video shows? 02 Camaro LS1, 4L80e, Ford 8.8, FiTech EFI

I appreciate that you did this and followed through just as promised. It may have taken a bit longer than most of us anticipated, but i think we are all thankful for you doing this and are happy with the results!

That makes all domestic orders shipped! One international to figure out still. Thanks again for everyone's patience while I got through these. I didn't anticipate it to take 6 months! Final tally on the donation amount to come as soon as I tally things up, but it will be over $1k. Funds have been flowing to Dan as needed over the last 6 months 1. 7d2jz 2. MAG58 - PAID - SHIPPED 3.

Hey guys! I'm currently in the process of building my 71 240z. Pretty beat-up car so I decided to just go all out and now I'm at the stage where I want to make a body kit for it. I'm trying to find a s30 3d scan of the outside. I know there has been one other thread on here where someone did this but I haven't been able to get any response from him. I found one other scan online that is ok quality but realistically id like something of higher precision. Was hoping one of you has something they could share with me. Please let me know I can't wait to start designing it -Axel

Hello, Almost, there😊. a small bracket were the steering column enters the engine bay to remove and the radiator frame and then ready to paint. A couple of layers with Epoxi and three layers of filler and then Emerald green. After the Epoxy i'm going to seal of some places around the firewall and inner fender, potential water intrusion. A bigger hole in the radiator frame left side for air filter in front of engine bay.

Hey can anyone make those brackets for the rear end s13 swap into our 280zx also any other guidelines or tips on install would be great

Do you have a website that I can go and check your products out?

Not quite yet! We are still working on getting the prototype piece just right before we mold it. Here is a rough first draft of the outer border, we are still making tweaks to make sure it fills as much as possible height wise, while keeping the OEM grill width. The cross blades will fill perfectly while allowing more airflow than OEM grills with larger gaps an will be all exposed carbon fiber!

Do you have any pictures of it installed on a Z?

I think you'd be better off parting it all out. You'll make more and sell it faster.

05-16-2024 UPDATE: I re-installed the door latches after a cleanup and clear coating. New mounting bolts for them as well as matching washers. I also ordered from Skillard the door sill plates in brushed stainless with "DATSUN" cut out of both. They are enroute. Couple pics, you can see I put on the new data plate I ordered off of eBay Motors. Very nice piece. I have a couple of runs I need to sand out once the paint is hard. Cheers.

Thanks!

Sorry for asking a silly question, I had a stock 280z now thinking go for 15 x8 wheel, just curious what is your experience for a tire size which won't get rubbing when with stock suspension?

Thank you, Mike. Ya, I kinda thought they were welded. OK, I'll look into the bimini pads.

My oil pan gasket has started to leak a little bit. Last night, my oil dipstick also blew out. I check my pvc valve and hose. They both seemed ok, but I'm going to replace both regardless. Going to do a compression test ASAP, praying I don't have low compression after all of this. I really haven't even gone over 4psi boost.

Still available?

Welcome

It's welded on. Mine looks like one of these (called a bimini pad). If you could find one that was the right dimensions, it might work. Mike is welded on via the two screw mounting holes.

Selling my ECU! This has successfully run 2 versions of my L28 (one with ITB's) and a LS V8. Megasquirts are known for being very powerful for the price and have a huge community behind them. Lots of details, here's a link to the data sheets: https://www.diyautotune.com/product/megasquirt-iii-ems-system-with-ms3x-expansion-v3-57-assembled/ New is $700, I'm asking $500 shipped.

If you got the torque I’d go with the 3.54

I have now started the NOT so fun job with removing old paint from the engine bay, it has been painted with some black paint that sticks in the paper of the sanding machine so a knife, elbow grease and hours................but need to be done😴. I read Toolmans post about the media blaster from Auto Zone, could be usable for the surface rust under the former battery tray. Heater has also been solved, new bracket and hoses

I haven't done anything yet. The car is actually in storage for the summer at my college and I'm on a ship for the entire summer, so it's gonna be like a first thing as soon as I get back. Thanks for the tips, I will certainly do that. I'm also glad it looks cheap and easy, its too bad I found it after replacing basically all the wear components on the front end of the car though haha. They needed to be replaced anyway though, even if they weren't the source of the noise.
