Brad-ManQ45

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...

It's about time that individual groups start to battle the dumbing down of the masses and condoning sloppy communication habits. We've already drawn the line here, but unfortunately there are some that get away with it. I think that ANY post that does not use capitalization or uses 'texting' grammar/formatting should be sent to the Tools forum and locked - Period. No reason necessary - let them figure it out if they can. Same thing with those that don't put a proper title/description. I think that the rules should encourage every user to notify admins of posts that do not meet the standards - some forums have a capability of 'report this post' which would be nice, but don't know if available with this software. I wish there were more forums that would adopt the basics that we have here - I get tired of dealing with people that may appear to be more ignorant than they really are - or perhaps they really are... But what do I know, I've only put myself through school raised a family, have a grandson and am still getting several Microsoft Certifications a year at 56. I personally do not text and have told my carrier not to even send text or data to my phone - that's what computers are for (screens on phones are too tiny for my eyes) and I refuse to appear dumb/lazy in my communications. The occasional contraction or regionalism for effect is quite all right and makes communications a bit less dry.

I did a search on 'Warner' and found out a lot - even some answers you are looking for. What's wrong here? Is it possible that a newbie is trying to be lazy or playing stupid?

I have tranny and driveshaft, full turbo pressureplate and flywheel and hydraulics.

Get the equivalent of a 3076.

Timing advance is usually all in by ~3500 rpm. Then you start retarding based on boost. Some will say 1 degree less advance per lb. of boost and some say a bit more. You don't mention having a wideband O2 sensor. If you have one, what's the A/F ratio when it starts to fall on it's face? Why aren't you posting this in the Megasqurt forum?

All I did was type in ecu and auto. Can't get any simpler than that. What were you smokin'?

z-ya: I'd use a different bellhousing to use - that T5 one is a bit of a rarity for those who want to use a T5 tranny....

Then you haven't searched this site.

Get some Eibach's and be happy - I am with mine.
