According to the JTR swap manual, autox'rs use the cast iron ones for better braking -0 cast iron is considered an upgrade on 510's which came stock w/aluminum drums.

You could get close w/a .66:1 reduction drive on the T5 tranny/speedometer output and set the Speedo to read KPH (which would use all 3 digits). You would be a bit off, but with a bit taller tire you'd be close. YOu'd be the diff between .62 (actual KPH/MPH reduction and the .66 that the actual reduction gearing has that JTR offers.

How much are they charging you to repair it?

PM'd you.

Seafoam in the oil. You may want to do the top end treatment too.

Also, switching to C25 will help. CO2 is hotter than an argon/CO2 mix...

Have you put some clean oil through it before trying to turn it?

Once again - are you sure you don't have hydraulic lifters?

You might want to say where you are located. I am assuming that the $50 driveshaft offer was too steep for you, so I'm afraid I can't help either...

I just got through replacing half my firewall and battery tray/inner fender area on my 280ZXT. I had to fab parts because the donor car I got mine from was a 'bit' rusty too. I would suggest getting a bead roller, as I had to use mine to make the stiffening beads in some of the panel portions that I had to fab.

If you have the '82/83 dizzy that's all you need.

The 1st gear ratio in the T5 is ~3.06 - just about like the 1st gear in a 4L60/E or TH700R4, and many lament that short/steep gearing. Unless you want to run a much hotter/higher rpm cam in the turbo than stock, you would probably be better off with a 3.54 rear gear - like stock on the turbos. Turbos like something to work against to build boost. A 3.90 would be totally wrong for a turbo with the size wheels we are normally able to run. Now if you tub the rear and make room for taller tires...

Sorry-mine is for a turbo.

I've got one w/15K on it. Had to replace the original when at a friends whose 7 yr old daughter left her bike behind my ZXT and backed over it. PM me if interested. Actually looking for a Walbro for my MS project w/550cc injectors - which one do you have?

Call ZBarn: ZBarn

I have one w/an O2 sensor w/less than 10K on it. Can sandblast it or as is. $25 + Shipping from 30066

I just read JWT's instructions for the 280 Z31 450HP swap upgrade and there is no mention of changine FPR's or needing to. Why did you remove your stock one. Put it on and see what happens, or reset the NISMO one to 38.

I'm pretty sure that the fuel pressure should be set around 38 psi. This is the stock Nissan setting as compared to industry standard of 43 psi. Sure there wasn't a typo in the instructions? The only reason to up fuel pressure is to provide more fuel - the bigger injectors already do that. At idle on ztock FI Z's the fuel pressure is ~30.

No access to a hacksaw?

Santa is the ULTIMATE Speed Freak!

I was almost 21 when I bought the '75 new. A month later a 'new '75 Town Car ran a red light and almost took me out. He was running late getting his maid to the bus stop.

Yup, just like I remember - good times, huh?

I have to agree on the SV-650... Best starter bike that you'll find a reason to keep ever. Does everything but top speed well - and who needs that on the street? If I were to have a bike for running around on a near daily basis the SV would be my pick. I personally have two bikes - both RD350's - a '74 basically stock except for H4 Bi-Xenon headlight, and a '75 that will have a 400 engine/tranny, ported and piped with upgraded electrics. It's currently stripped down and blasted awaiting a warm enough day to paint the frame - I have PickleX-20 on it so it won't rust. Talk about fun bikes! Oh - and I pay $94/yr for full coverage insurance with medical on the '74. I purchased it running good for $450 and spent about a week really cleaning it up and cleaning the carbs, putting on new oil/gas lines and in-line filters. Most of the time was spent polishing aluminum and chrome. JohnC: All motor and no chassis as I remember. I had friends with 500's and one had a 750 and my '75 would eat them up in the mountains no sweat on my bikes or my part. On their part - they were scared poopless trying to keep up!

OOPS! I never noticed the report button since the new software - guess we know where my head's been...
