  1. Click the link in my signature that say's LT1/T56 240Z.

     

    As was mentioned, the swap is very similar to a traditional small block conversion.

     

    Buy the JTR manual if you don't already own it.

     

    ...and yes, the biggest difference is the EFI system. You have many choices. The cheapest... utilize a stock harness. The easiest... is probably a Painless Wiring harness.

  2. the dude paid for the car, he's free to "modify" it how he likes, no?

     

    Thank You! Give that man a cigar.

     

    It'll be a cold day in hell when any man tell's me what I can and cannot do with a car that I pay'd for. It belongs to me. I'll crush it, piss on it, let Braap move it with his tractor, or set in on fire... you'll just have to get over it.

     

    Morals and automobiles don't mix boy's... leave'em at the door with your coat.

     

    Peace be with you.

  3. To compete, the car would need to be differentiated from the rest somehow.

     

    A bit of a tangent... maybe it need's to be YOUR car. YOUR design. YOUR etc. It will take many more years to bare fruit, but I think the potential is greater (both of failure and success). BUT, whichever way it goes, you'll alway's have unbeatable pride in your accomplishment.

     

    Steve Grabber (grabbercars.com) is headed down that very path. Drop him a line. He's a terrific guy and would surely share his thoughts and experiences along the way. Tell him I sent you!

  4. Prayer's on the way.

     

    If it matters at all, cancer has been prevalent in my wifes family. Three cases in the last 6 years. Sadly, my sister-in-law didn't make it, but the other two have beat it, with no expectations of reoccurrence. It can be beat.

  5. I have had this problem for some time now..

     

    You didn't mention if this was something that developed over time or its 'alway's been that way'. The more clues the better. If its the latter, maybe your water pump is the wrong one... throughout the years, GM spun the water pump with both V-belt and serpentine... they are not interchangeable, as the direction of rotation is opposite.

  6. hey... what's that white e30 doing back there?! !!!

     

    Buyer backed out and I decided to keep it.... for now.

     

     

    Good lord!!!! That thing looks awfully involving to drive...

     

    You ought to see him start it!

  7. 'Special Ed', A mutual friend of Braap and I, stopped by to show us his new toy... a 1917 Ford Model T.

     

    Turns out, Ford was using multi-coil technology (with wood housings no-less!) as early as 1908...

  8. Just my opinion I never thought these were all that affordable after looking. Maybe I'm below average.

     

    Two years ago I paid 11,800 for mine. And, loosely quoting Yasin, its 'nice'. Seems pretty affordable to me. I apologize if my sensibilities are askew.

     

    Secondly, its worth roughly 14k today. Still affordable (IMO), and possibly more importantly, it has appreciated in value. I expect this trend to continue, at least momentarily.

     

    What, may I ask, did you pay for your 2006 Sienna and 2002 Frontier?

     

    When the 240z came out in the US, it cost 3600 dollars,

     

    What was true 20 or 30 years is irrelevant.

  9. Anybody know anything about the diesel water pump? I thought I had heard something abou it having a higher flow capacity at one time.

     

    Tim,

     

    PM jgkurz and drag him into this. He's adapted the diesel pump. I only know bits of it... so best to get it staight from the horses mouth.

  10. The E30 M3 is definitely one of the most desirable cars to be ever built. Its lines, power and balance have made sure that it will forever be a "wanted" car.

     

    This months Automobile Magazine listed the E30 M3 as one of the top 5 'drivers cars' in history.

     

    Ron's car is one of the nicest I have seen. Ultra clean, ultra sexxxy.

     

    Thank you. Considering its 20 years old and 170k miles on the clock... its still pretty nice.
