BMW pumps are everywhere, fairly affordable and, obviously, compatible with the BMW rack. Hence, I adapted the Bimmer pump instead of sourcing a Nissan pump... The drive pulley is 280zx, pump pulley is Audi 100, and the adjuster is a 280Z alternator adjuster. The mount is homebuilt billet aluminum.

A little history.... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=118747 Last summer, I installed a set of coilovers/HTS dampers from Beta Motorsports, and a fresh 3.36 NISMO Comp. LSD center section, along with a rear disc brake conversion (280zx). A stock L28E and 5 speed was dropped in as well. Last week, BRAAP offered me a scorching deal on a BMW S52 drivetrain... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=150131 Why?... I've built/driven/campaigned a number of V8Z's. They're loads of fun. Fast, affordable, and effortless to maintain. However, the silkiness and refinement of the Z was lost in every case. I love the smoothness and aural qualities of the L6, but the L6 is so technologically challenged that it requires an incredible amount of money, time, and talent to build generous, street-able power. Some modern alternatives include the JZ and RB. Each has merit. So does the S52 Stock trim is 240HP, with a fat torque curve. 250-260HP is 'easy'. 300HP is not unreasonable with some effort. A street-friendly 9-10lbs/HP is looking feasible... N/A. And boosted results have been very respectable.

Absolutely crazy... but in a good way

Unfreakingbelievable :lmao:

Progress! Crossmember and motor mounts welded in... Old lollipop... Revised lollipop... Boss extends through framerail and welded top and bottom... Steering shaft is also complete. Gotta mount the BMW pump, re-work the strut towers, and 68.5 small items.

Spill the beans...

At the Boring U-pull, wife and I saw an unmolested 3.0 SHO with 131K showing on the odometer. Last I checked, that yard was charging $140 per motor.

No politics, guy's.

Wow!

Amen to that.

You are the twig portion of the berry vine

Reminds me of a close friend (of a different marque and a different forum), complaining about the lack of tech info. I asked him about the last time he 'contributed likewise'. Silence followed. If you've got love, show love. Do it, and show it. Ball is in your court. Blaming others is the easy way. P.S. Searching will reveal some UBER sweet S130's.

Still playing children's games, eh wax?

It's not going to fix your problem. The bowls aren't empty on cold start unless something is draining them. Your cold start problems are likely caused by other issues. P.S. Please refrain from frequent bumping.

In Oregon, I normally pay in the $150 range for a shorten & freshen at respected shops. This does not include Nissan branded U-joints, though. Maybe not. I believe the MSD tach adapter 8920 will work in that application. They run about $50.

Happy Birthday Dood!

Bryan, let it go. You made your point, and I do believe its a fair one. However, continuing to needle him is not helpful.

Moved to Cars Wanted sub-forum and retitled to something useful. You're welcome

Please do!

Dave, I've got a set I can donate for the cost of shipping. I probably won't have time to ship until early next week, if that's okay? To clarify, your subject line is plural, but your text says one. How many do you want? PM me your address if this works for you.
