Not DD ready but sooo close I can taste it!

****UPDATE Continued**** JSK Fuel rail installed - new hoses/clamps. Replaced the blown up T3 - painted a few things while I was in there.

****UPDATE**** I realize I didn't came back to this thread to update anything. Here are some pics

Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SET-SIX-Brand-New-Fuel-Injectors-1981-1982-1983-Nissan-280ZX-2-8L-TURBO-/190667834032?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2c64b042b0#ht_1550wt_907 I've gotten em a lot cheaper than that, but thats the cheapest set I see on ebay atm which is pretty much the same price as if you were to get the injectors that autozone has to offer. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Gp-Sorensen-Fuel-Injector/1983-Nissan-Datsun-280ZX/_/N-ikmwtZ8vd08?itemIdentifier=79703_2390_6207_

Has anyone had any experience with UR Strut bars? I like the look. Just wondering how good they are and if they will fit under the hood without cutting it. http://www.ultraracing.com.my/template.asp?menuid=56 http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-RACING-Front-Strut-Bar-for-Datsun-280ZX-79-83-UR-TW2-1340-/170808858378?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c500570a&vxp=mtr#ht_4391wt_1206

haha. I believe so. Mine hasn't had seats in it for over a year now either.

And you were 100% correct. Got my 3/8 NPT to -6AN adaptors ordered. I can't wait to get this installed along with my Fuel Labs pressure regulator.!

...

After looking at an NPT size chart that looks like its it. size| diameter | TPI | Pitch ---------------------------------------------- 3â„8 | 0.675 in | 18 | 0.05556 in (1.41122 mm) 0.675 in - which is why I couldn't tell exactly 5/8" or 3/4" diameter, its right in between. Thanks for the info guys. I'll check it out tonight after work and see for sure.

That would be a good guess. When I measure across the threaded opening it looks like 3/4". Guess I'll get a couple cheap NPT fittings from Lowes and test then order an NPT to AN adapter.

hmm. We'll that gives me more to think about. I guess my best bet is going to be to get a proper measuring tool. The barbed fitting(brass) all look to be NPT as is the Port the pressure gauge is install in. I got it used off ebay btw, thats why I'm unsure of the threading.

Does anyone know what size AN Fitting the ends on a barbed JSK Fuel rail are. I tried measuring the thread opening, couldn't quite tell exactly as all I had to measure with is a tape measure. It looked between 5/8" & 3/4" which according to wiki is -10an or -12an. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN_thread#cite_note-0. I have searched online and on the forums and haven't been able to find anything. I am going with a -6an setup so I'll need an AN reducer at the rail. Unfortunately I don't know of any shops/stores around here that sell AN fittings so I can't go test one out and get what I need. Though I did find a site with cheaper prices than earl - http://www.allpurposepipes.com This Fitting (Not my car)

Seen this in the parking lot at Carolina place mall, had to take a pic. Sorry bout the cell phone pic.

Seen this browsing ebay for 280zxt parts. Definitely can't afford it, but thought it was cool non the less. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rare-HKS-turbo-engine-parts-Datsun-240z-280zx-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45f921bd45QQitemZ300532481349QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_3177wt_1165

So I installed a fuse holder and put a 25amp fuse in it. Tested it, turned the key to start it and the fuse blew out instantly. When I have time this weekend I'll go through my new connectors and see what I can figure out. I'll keep y'all updated.

Yep you are right. Thank you for clearing that up. It is interesting indeed. After looking back I see that hughdogz used a 25 amp fuse for that link.

I was going by this thread / link for the amps. I will definitely double check the FSM first. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/67366-need-help-with-fusible-links/page__p__633319__hl__%2Bfusible+%2Blink__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=633319 http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html Good idea, I will look a the wiring diagram to see whats connected to that link.

None of the wires on the new connections are exposed. I soldered them together and covered with heat-shrink. I'm going to put a fuse holder in place of the link when I get home tonight so I can test some more. The jumper wire idea was dumb, I'm sure it wasn't a thick enough gauge to handle the red 50amp link.

I think I have a ground wire crossed or something on my 280ZXT. Just finished replacing the 2 pole connectors on the harness for my fuel injectors, Head Temperature Sensor, and air regulator. When I turned her on, she ran for like 3 seconds, then the ign fusible link melted, put a jumper wire on it to test and melted it too. If I accidentally have one of the connectors wires reversed, would that cause the link to burn? If so is there an easier way to test than cutting the heat-shrink and looking, like with a test light or something. Thanks, Adam

Holy crap that is hilarious. Please don't do that to your Z.

Thank you for the info. Does anyone recommend running diesel fuel in the oil to clean out the galleries/any build up?

I think you right. I don't see them fitting my zx. I'm not to fond of spacers/adapters either. I'm just going to polish my stock turbo rims and use that money for other upgrades.

Yea I searched online a bit and all I could find was a +24mm on 17x9s.

I can get a set of 17 x 9 Cobra rims from a guy with new tires for $300. I don't know what the offset is. I think the bolt pattern is 4x108 though So I'll have to use adapters: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4x4-5-114-3-4x100-4x108-Wheel-4-Rim-Adapters-1-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem255f676140QQitemZ160514400576QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_4042wt_939 They are identical to these: Does any know if they will fit for sure, maybe from experience? Thanks for the help.
