  1. Good news on keeping it. If it was a bolt - go ARP studs...
  2. Check out this thead at zcar.com: http://www.zcar.com/forums/read.php?f=1&i=441532&t=441532
  3. My 75 has zx rims and 215/60/15 tires on it with TMC lowering springa and have no problems. I'd be willing to bet his springs are tired and sag. 205/65/15 and 225/60/15 ~same diameter depending on whose tire. Width definitely less w/205. Check out this link: http://zccw.org/Tech/Wheels/WheelSize.html I know he was talking an early model and not a ZX, just threw that info in - kind of wondered why he had 65 series tires...
  4. Now that that's out of the way, the 280 ZXT does have a vacuum pump, although what capacity is I don't know...
  5. 205/60/15 are stock on a ZXT. 225/60/15's work w/no probs. You are OK.
  6. If you DO have the early 260, then you would go with the 240 kit. Later 260's used the 280 kit. You could measure the diameter of your front strut tubes to be sure. 240=51mm O.D. 280=56mm (~2" and ~2.25" respectively)
  7. I haVE 16x7 Primes that look like that on my ZXT - You can always repaint them...
  8. I agree w/Tim240Z. I would also like to throw out for everyone's consideration, that aside from a rollbar, subchassis connectors and strut bars, what else can be done to stiffen the unibody in torsion and bending (both horizontally and longitudinally. I was thinking/hoping of something not as intrusive as a cage in the drivers' area - geared for street - not track. Is it possible that some shallow c-channel could be applied to good effect as long as the interior is gutted? Perhaps KatMan might chime in here...
  9. Just so you know - you have to supply all the ground wires yourself...
  10. Actually, the stock coil from a 300ZXT is supposed to be great...and cheap at the JY...
  11. Turbonetics supplied my watercooled/S-3 Trim/clipped turbine for my ZXT in '94 and no probs - runs strong. Nowadays I would chose the T4OE 50 Trim... Check out this thead at zcar.com: http://www.zcar.com/forums/read.php?f=1&i=441532&t=441532
  12. If he was gonna do the MS to control extra injectors - which will have distribution problems, he might as well use it to replace the ECU and upgrade his injectors.
  13. If you wait about 20 minutes w/hood up, does it start/idle ok?
  14. Since this is for a 377, then he will need to use bearing spacers for the 350 crank and no prob. w/the 350 rods. Might want to check the valve reliefs in the pistons and use a thicker head gasket than normal....
  15. The only consideration is the tach - which is next to useless on the digital dash anyway - ask me - I just swaped to analog and love it. Shouldn't be a big problem - go for it.
  16. Perusing prior posts by some of the turbo guys with stock ECU system, they'r rich to ~4500 RPM and then go lean. If you REALLY want more power and boost, you need to upgrade the Fuel management computer. At the least the 300ZX unit next step would be the JWT 440cc/Ford Mass AIR system. My money will be on either MegaSquirt or UltraMegaSquirt or SDS - preferably the UMS. (I like to do it myself)
  17. They are definitely not BBS or Rial wheels. If look, you will notice the machine screw used to hold the lug cover/centercap assembly on. I have some Prime wheels that use the same method. (I also have BBS and Rial wheels for my Q45)
  18. start your weld on the flange, and only dip down onto the pipe enough to keep a puddle there. About 60-70 % of your heat should be directed at the flange...
