The bracket circled in blue is what sets the fore/aft bumper location.... Does that mount line up with the body?

The trans output shaft is within 1/8" of stock. The front of the motor is a bit higher than stock (at the crank damper). In angular terms, the BMW drivetrain is 1.4 degrees more inclined. Combined with an adjustment of pinion angle, I should have driveline geometry equal to, or better than stock.

Sweet!

The one thing my car is in desperate need of is dampers. After 2 1/2 months of dragging my feet, I finally ordered an AST/Vorshlag package... http://www.vorshlag.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_4_155&products_id=222 The bad news is they're on backorder. It's looking like 4 or 5 weeks before I get my grimy paws on them

I'll ship this one to you for $75... Fuel rail and regulator are no longer on it.

To the best of my knowledge, all modern cars have their EFI grounded to the engine. Battery is grounded to the engine. Chassis is grounded to the engine. This helps reduce ground loops and related gremlins.

Very very cool! Please keep us updated on your progress.

Absolutely. Please deposit $19.95 in my paypal account If you insist First fit into my 260...

Or lower the fuel pressure. Just to clarify, if a resistor is installed in series, the mixture will be richer. Installed in parallel, leaner. However, a parallel resistor will flatten the curve out across the temp range. It's not the block, rather the head. See post #1...

Although an M motor, a lot of the conversion would be the same or similar... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/79806-rt260-bmw-m-powered/

Finished up the mounts.... The trans. mount now offsets the drivetrain to the passenger side another 7/16", aligning directly with the diff. pinion flange.

Thanks Skib. Wife and I are still working out our plans for Sunday. Not sure if we'll be around or not. There's some Blue Bore in the Coke machine

If you install it in the same location as the ZX, the car will steer opposite. That is to say, the car will turn left, when you turn the wheel to the right. Seems like a poor choice, but I've been wrong before

"Emergency Switch". It's part of the interlock system.

I have minimal experience with MS, but I've done a few aftermarket EMS swaps and have never been able to get the tach. working directly on a 280zx. There are tach. adapters available that 'condition' the signal. MSD makes one and seems to work fine. Did your temp gauge work before MS was installed? Unless you've altered the circuit, it's completely independent of the EFI. Also, the wire shouldn't be "hanging from the sender". There is a 'post' on the sender that the yellow wire plugs into.

I'm not getting excited until someone builds the structure from CF.

This forum has always been more about quality than quantity. Not an explanation, necessarily, but...

If I only drove my Z in fair weather... I'd never get to drive it. Thanks for sharing, Olie

Heck yeah

Thanks John If it would stop raining for more than 30 seconds, we could do a BBQ and dust off our bench racing skills

Took a full day to prune the engine compartment harness... no more shunt, EGR, voltage reg., interlock, emergency switch, A/C controls, or ignition module. Also built the crossmember spacers (1/2"). I probably should have bought these from JTR ($25.00 shipped), but I had the material on hand and the milling machine made quick work of it.

1) The laws of physics haven't changed much in the last three years... this thread is just as relevant today as it was then. 2) Conductive, convective, and radiant heating are not the same thing.

There has been enough interest to build another small batch. 10 more ready for shipping. Please note: I have raised the price, but now include shipping.
