  1. The irony of this getting bumped up next to someone's first thread on the site asking if anybody else has ever used ITB's on a turbo is priceless.

     

    +1 :iagree:

     

    I seen that post earlier Tony and figured it would be in the shed by now, irony can be damn funny haha!!

  2. New Year UPDATE:

     

    Well between traveling with work and me going back to school progress has been slow. I had a problem with the new crank pulley in the way the magnets were facing since the machine shop I had do it screwed it up. So before Thanksgiving I ordered new magnets from SDS pulled it apart installed only one magnet (the sync magnet) and attempted to put the crank pulley back on and it wouldn't go back on. So in my infinite wisdom and asking a few people, I heated the inside of the pulley and it slid right on. I had to turn it a hair and by then it was stuck. So out comes the puller and I started to pull it off to reposition it and it started coming apart in two pieces.

     

    So now I am talking to Rebello to purchase their street damper. Using the modified version of the 60-2 trigger wheel the plan is to have SDS drop ship a set of magnets to them. I should have dealt with them to begin with and not this crap Professional Products Pulley that doesn't fit and now I don’t endorse! The funny part is the Euro pulley I have that was cracked when I bought the SDS kit still fits like glove.

  3. I am the owner of a 1979 Datsun 810 2 Door Coupe. I am having a hard time finding parts for this vehicle. I live in Houston, Texas and am searching for the molding around the windows to keep water out, and front struts. Any suggestions?

     

    Welcome to HybridZ Veronica :2thumbs:

     

    There are a few 810's on the board including mine.

     

    Check out: http://oem-surplus.com/nwp/810.htm Norman had some parts for our cars on there.

     

    I would suggest you go here and start a project page for your 810. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/forum/61-other-vehicles/

  4. So I just bought this 810 on Ebay and drove 13 hours one way to pick her up only to find the seller was far from honest in the listing. There is significant impact damage on the passenger side as well it has set up for years. I knew it was to good to be true but to be honest I would have bought a rolling frame at this point I really love the 810. I was just wondering if anyone knows of anyplace that might have some pieces like the steering column and maybe a passenger side door.post-1947-026052900 1283048248_thumb.jpgpost-1947-028782300 1283047856_thumb.jpgpost-1947-055238600 1283048227_thumb.jpg

     

    Call Roger at the zbarn.com he had a few 810s there and might be able to help.

     

    Also check out http://oem-surplus.com/nwp/810.htm as there are some NOS parts too in case you are looking for something..

  5. You can always get an aluminum AN adapter (one end is smooth and tapered to fit in the breather end) and weld it to the stock breather like this:

     

    Before:

    After:

    Installed:

    I worked with what I had, I wanted to keep it low to the valve cover and not worry about hood clearance with too many adapters. The valve cover was already powder coated so I didn't want to weld on it and it cost me $5 for the fitting.

  6. As the title says, I am looking for someone who knows SDS 6F's specifically. I have been on the phone with SDS daily, Barry is awesome but I need someone local to lend a hand and have another set of eyes. I would be willing to pay for your time as well.

     

    Thanks,

  7. For future reference for anyone in my case. I emailed SDS to confirm and they said they like to see all devices wired through the key so you are sure they are off when the key is off.

  8. On one end of this harness in the car is a green wire and a black with white stripe wire that was in a plastic t-connector plug. The green is the +12 on the pump and the black and white (now I think I figured it out) goes to the ignition.

     

    The question is those that are using the stock wiring and SDS EM4-6F with a relay; are you using the green wire on the stock harness to go to #87 on the relay? Also on the SDS fuel pump relay diagram there are (2) +12v key sources do I use the black/white wire to one of those two or snip it?

  9. I polished the radiator, installed it, added coolant and this happened...

    After I added 1 gallon of coolant I went outside to the spicket to fill the same jug with water. I guess over the winter a squirrel packed an acorn inside the spicket. I didn't hear it hit the funnel until it was too late. So I had to drain the coolant, shine a light down inside the radiator and there it was. So I grabbed the shop vac, some fuel line, tape, fired it up and she stuck to the hose. Re-filled the radiator because I don't need no stinking acorns, glad I bought 2 gallons.. Moral of the story run the spicket at full blast and run your finger inside for any FOD.

     

    I also started to test the electronics and I came across a problem with no light on the middle boost gauge. After diagnosing it with the Power Probe III I just bought :2thumbs: it seemed that the bulb was DOA. I attempted to take the gauge apart and gave it a little love tap, hooked it back up and viola..

    Tomorrow I need to test the fuel pump and the rest. I should be ready to open the valve cover, take the plugs out, rock the crank pulley with a breaker bar and turn the motor. It has been almost 2 years. Wish me luck :)

  10. I am 6'2" 250 and with the stock seats I had them one click up from being slid all the way back with good leg and head room. With the 350Z seats I have in there now, I couldn't tell you yet, I haven't driven it since I installed the seats over a year ago but I fit well... :)

  11. 12 hours in the garage today, here we go:
