Love manual air, didn't take pics - sorry. There is some documentation/pics posted here: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/zxclimatconversion/index.html

I believe a T3/T4OE would work well for you. Stage III turbine trim, .50 Compressor Trim. Stock exhaust AR (.63). I believe the compressor AR would be .70. Here's a good site to start with: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/turbo.htm

Good News Mike! I hope 75% of them come through for you.

zguitar71: I was approximating the amount of backspacing needed, and when I used to buy wheels for my musclecars, the offset was measured in inches and fractions thereof - I'm 52. The JTR manual talking in terms of inches and fractions thereof when talking about offset and backspacing. As this is a Hybrid site, we are used to dealing in both inches and millimeters - at least those with chevy and ford engines. Most of us know that a 13mm wrench is very close to .5" and can in fact be used on a .5" bolt or nut - try that with a 12mm and you're out of luck. An inch is 25.4mm, meaning that .5" is 12.7mm. This would mean he would need ~a 13mm positive offset - if you are going to correct me, at least be correct. - You are correct in stating that coilovers will be needed if he doesn't want to flair, but then again, all of this info is available on a search....

A hearty THANKS RacerX!

They need to have~.5" positive offset if you aren't going to use flairs...

RacerX: This is most interesting. You are the only professional that I have heard of that uses Zero Rust as a primer basis, then topcoats with other paint. I would imagine that you scuff it before putting on any other high build primer or topcoat) paints - correct me if I'm wrong. I would also like to know, and see that every one else does, of course, what single and 2 stage paints that you have had success with using Zero Rust. In particular, where you haven't had to put on any high build primer - applying topcoat directly to Zero Rust. Even Zero Rust says to do test to make sure you don't have any incompatibilities - looks like you've already done it for us! I'm stoked - can just use Zero Rust - which is a lot cheaper than DPLF!!!!

Oops - hit the wrong key! I'm doin' fine RacerX. A few house projects and starting up a submarine shop have been keepin' me away from the car, but I am finishing up a 4' blast cabinet, then have to veneer some MDF that I am going to use in an emtertainment center. After these two projects, I will start tearing the rest of the interior out, then engine compartment and suspension in preparation for putting on the rotisserie. Just to make sure everyone is on the right page, I believe that you only use ZF for the underbody and possibly interior, and use an epoxy primer for all exterior panels that will be painted - right?

Students were assigned to read 2 books, "Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill Clinton. One smart *** student turned in the following book report, with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories! His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report: Titanic: $29.99 Clinton: $29.99 Titanic: Over 3 hours to read Clinton: Over 3 hours to read Titanic: The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe. Clinton: The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe. Titanic: Jack is a starving artist. Clinton: Bill is a bullshit artist. Titanic: In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar. Clinton: Ditto for Bill. Titanic: During ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined. Clinton: Ditto for Monica. Titanic: Jack teaches Rose to spit. Clinton: Let's not go there. Titanic: Rose gets to keep her jewelry. Clinton: Monica's forced to return her gifts. Titanic: Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life. Clinton: Clinton doesn't remember Jack. Titanic: Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen. Clinton: Monica.....ooh, let's not go there, either. Titanic: Jack surrenders to an icy death. Clinton: Bill goes home to Hilary..basically the same thing.

I have always heard to sand off the factory coating and reprime body panels. RacerZ like Zero Rust for all of his personal work, and will only use POR-15 when customers insist....

Interested...

I live in the Marietta area - I'll keep an eye out - no charge..

Sure you don't have a flattened rim or tire?

zguy36 is right, both the 280 and 300 ZXT's used the same size injectors.

Thanks for the lesson GV....

Unintercooled, I'd stick w/stock boost levels. If you had a hybrid turboyou could go to 6-10. I think you are better off getting a MS unit and programming it - driveability will be much better.

If you go to the technical articles library at zhome.com (where the link I gave you caqme from), there is an article that has pics of the two different types. It is titled "Swapping The Transmissions in a 240Z"...

Could this be it? http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/69-83TrannyShifterDrawing.jpg

A coup[le of cans of 'drying' additive will add alcohol to the gas, lpowering combustion temperatures. More than likely it was the egr not functioning, but if you were running lean, you would have elevated oxides of nitrogen too. What did the Hydrocarbon readings look like? Ususally you would post all of the related info so that we don't take pot shots at what the problem could be....

Just to messwith people I'd have put 'SOHC' on 'em...

I try not to go cheap on anything that matters. The car gets the good stuff, tools that will be used heavily I buy the good stuff. Clothes - who cares? I will admit to buying good scotch, but after the first 1 or 2 switch to a cheaper brand...

If it's going to be a Challenger, then have the original Challengers' body line. I also think the hood could be extended a bit to have a not-as-tall grill. The closer to the original challenger the better - in everything but size...

Just a note here on doing priming and bodywork, there are two schools of thought on using body filler - directly to met and on top of epoxy. I was watching speed channel last night and Legendary Motorcars swears by spraying epoxy, filling, then spraying epoxy again in order to totally encapsulate the filler. Makes sense.

Warren is going to mount his just ahead of the cat...

The 280 ZXT's had 2 3/8" exhaust pipes, so you are bigger than that now. For an NA engine, I imagine 2 1/4" pipe would be about right.
