Ed260Z

I know some people who gotten engines from them before, and had a good experience. I plan on getting my engine from them. I would have ordered it already, but NJ screwed me out of a few bucks. So now I going to wait another month.

I knew I could count on you to be forthcoming with any information. From the looks of things I won't be dropping in the engine for 2 months. Hopefully by then you will have found all the bugs. LOL:icon56:

Well is the great state of NJ has shattered my dreams I'll be only doing the basics on my fuel system. Stock tank no mods, and a Walbro pump. On the plus side I found a real POS of a 280Z to get some parts from. The only piece of metal on the entire car with no rust on it is the tank. The poor Z is so shot, the the only sheet metal worth salvaging is the hood. (Not original to the car) If I end up getting it, let me know if there is anything that you guys might want off of it. I'm taking the R200, stub axles, and A/C unit. Maybe the tank also. Everything else will be up for grabs until the salvage yard picks up the carcase.

I though that those trannys couldn't stand up to the power of a 25 or 26.

From the little that I know so far, the sensor sends out a square wave pulse. It doesn't care if the gauge is Metric or Standard. All you should need to do is follow the directions that come with the gauge to calibrate it. I want to keep my stock gauge, and use the Cable X, from Abbot.

Doesn't anyone want to share what they did?

Won't the stock ECU control any solenoid?

I think that there is a JDM header that you can get for a RB25DE. If not search the exhaust forum, there was a post about fabing up some custom headers.

I think he means; I swapped an RB25 into a 300ZX, and installed a Q45 Throttle body. But the TB sensor isn't working. Does anyone know where the yellow/black wire goes? I don't know the answer, but I hope my translation will help someone answer it for you. And welcome to the best Z site on the Web.

None of the above. NJ DMV charges a Fine that they call Insurance Surcharges, if you have to many points on your license. And many moons ago I was flat broke, and couldn't make my payment. So they suspended my license, and of course I was pulled over. I couldn't afford a lawyer, and I apparently made to much for a public defender. I guess $200 a week was a lot of money in 98! I was charged with driving on the revoke list. 39:3-40 (g). The g part means your screwed out of big bucks. ie $3K. The statute reads that upon payment of surcharges the fine will be waived by the court. So I didn't think anything of it, since to get my license back I would have to pay the surcharge anyway. But alas they read it as that I needed to pay the surcharge prior to going to court. You say 98 was a long time ago right. Well I didn't find out about it until last month. So because I was late on $750 worth of surcharges I need to pay a $3,000 fine. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the state of NJ if your financially destitute, and fail to pay your surcharge (extortion) they fine you an additional $3,000 just to make sure you stay poor.

Well NJ screwed me out of $3,000 , so now I'm forced to reassess my swap. I'm going to have to cut some corners, and do them as money allows. Things like my planned $1,200 fuel system are gone, for now. And instead of buying a welder I'll have to rent one.

It still looks a bit tight. I'd be afraid that the tranny will shift, and break that nice new sensor.

I should have noticed that Mike's from down under. The JDM cars had a lot more variety.

That's great man. All you have to do now is notch the brace going around the tranny tunnel.

I should have specified that you can't tell the difference without having them next to each other. The R200 is also physically larger than the 180.

It might be a bit lonley, but it's cool to have the only nice Z for miles around.

None of the Z's ever came with that tall a gearing stock. And it's pretty hard to tell if it's a R180 or R200 by just looking at them. The easiest way to find out what your ratio is would be to take of the cover, and look for the #'s stamped on the side of the ring gear. Then divide the #'s.

Let us know if it fits right.

This thread has great info on this pump. Should be very helpful. BUMP

I think you should use the stock feed or original return pipe as your return. And use the unused fitting as a drain.

I think thats the way I'm going to go. I'm also thinking of welding in some baffles to keep the fuel from sloshing around. Since I'll have the tank apart any way.
