  1. Very simple. Wire it to the IGN hot behind your column switch(looping/bypassing the IGN switch), A ground , and usually there's also a wire for the hand brake switch. or a P/N switch.

     

    Thanks for the reply. Understood the connect to the IGN hot off of the key from the column. What do you mean by "looping/bypassing the IGN switch"?

  2. Yes Joe, that was one of many SNAFU's we encountered laugh.gif

     

    Why we are on the subject rememeber when raising the motor with the cherry picker? We realized (yet again) that a ZX pan was installed, not a 240 pan and did not need to raise the motor to drop the pan to retrieve said washer? Good times, good times that was a late night. :-D

  3. Looking good Joe. At this rate, you may be able to drive it out and help me prep my car for the 2012 Auto-X Season... B)

     

    Roger that, I might even be boosted by then who the hell knows. I hope to have it running for you to hear before you roll out.

     

    It's only a 20 hour drive (like driving to Florida and then some) when you get short lets start planning it I have over 120 hours of leave now. HA! :shock:

  4. I worked on the ITB and throttle linkage and while waiting on the heat exchanger, and decide to use the stock firewall pivot arm. I purchased the Savage firewall mount and decided to go with it.

     

    Throttle Cable Linkage:

    First I drilled out the ball:

    Then I bolted this to it:

    Here it is mounted, greased ready to go:

    I bolted it to the Savage piece on the firewall:

    End result:

    ITB Linkage:

     

    I installed the 15mm spacers:

    Leveled the heim joints, it clears with plenty of space and threads poking out the bottom for the nuts on the bracket for the heim joints:

    Heat Exchanger should be delivered tomorrow. I have some more wiring to do and clean up work. Come on Spring I am tired of the snow!! :icon52:

  5. An unfortunate side effect of the conversion.

    I had to go and manually mark all of mine as read, 1500 PM's took about 5 minuets to do.

     

    Roger that, I just wanted to check first.

     

     

    Thanks,

  6. All of my 500+ PM's are all marked as new. Is this something that the member needs to go back and mark them as read because of the transition? Or a bug that is being worked on?

     

    Also most of the PM's from other members (like EvilC, zcarnut etc..) in place of their name now says Deleted Member.

  7. Buck,

    I have this mount in my early 240Z. Like Jon stated above concerning the "flanged area of sheetmetal", I installed mine without dropping the diff and I had to trim that metal to get it to fit. Since you are swapping diffs you might have to hit it with a BFM or trim like I did.

     

    It is drilled for both early and late 240Z's and you can even re-use the diff strap bracket bolts too, so you should be good to go. I have a thread on it with pics if you need a reference. I don't think there is a difference since you have a R180 and I have an R200.

  8. Well, I am assuming there are no new updates due to the MASIVE amounts of snow between the house and the garage...lol

     

    Buck,

     

    I am officially done shoveling until the next freakin Snowpocalypse as of today.

    I received my parts from Kevin @ Extrudabody on Thursday: (3) 15mm spacers and longer socket (allen) bolts. I plan on getting back in the garage over this long weekend since my path is finally shoveled to it.

  9. Here is what mine looked like 5 years ago when I had wide Wats in the rear.

     

    Specs:

     

    ~16x8.5 -6 225/50 Fuzion Zri

     

    ~16x9.5 -19 245/45 Fuzion Zri

     

    ~Sectioned struts, coilovers.

    Now I run: ~16x8.5 -6 225/50 All around, since I didn't want to flare it. Also it all boils down to if you want matching tire sizes all around for ease of tire rotation.
