I would be surprised if they worked a month after the car was sold. you could buy an autometer clock and just swap the guts over.

Brake SHOW! Post pics of your brake setup!!!
hoov100 replied to Daggetlover's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
The bolts on those calipers go through the top, instead of behind. -
After looking at the z31's cam, it would require a bit more then just adding a 7mm washer, you would need a longer bolt with the big head, you would have to drill it twice for dowel pins and machine the centering ring into it, I don't think you would need a thicker bolt, just a higher grade.
-
Where is Braap on this? I thought he would have shown his face atleast once so far.
-
the only thing I could see happening with adding a spacer would be the cam bolt being over stressed for extended periods and eventually breaking, Let me email this thread to a couple friends and see what they think.
-
If you do everything correctly and with enough attention to detail, I don't see why it wouldn't be as reliable as if the factory did it, you might run into an issue with stock timing covers as well, but that shouldn't be to hard to fix.
-
hmm. What about using 7mm spacers on the cam sprockets to align the timing belt correctly? (this is adduming you can use the 33's lower crank sprocket.) (and no, I havent found anyone that has done this, I've heard of numerous vg30 crank/oil pump swaps, but no z32 crank swaps.)
-
omg, their is so much win in this thread...
-
To fix the 7mm length issue, couldn't you surface down the oil pump mounting surface on the block? You would maybe have to drill the mounting holes a bit longer to make up for it, but tapping it or helicoiling shouldn't be a problem. I'm giddy as a school girl on prom night, when it comes to vg33's.

If this is going in an s30, I bought a cheap used $5 adjustable tripod, put the two front legs through the holes in the factory strut tower braces and kinda wedge it in their, then fully extend the rear leg and secure it where the screw that holds down the spare tire goes. to keep it from vibrating, you could run a tie down across the top of the camera and hook it to the holes in the strut tower braces.
-
i remember reading about the z32's crank being 5mm long or something along those lines, so is it looking like using the z32 crank, adding two studs for the oil pump and sealing where the oil pump doesnt touch the block?

A trick with getting a measurement for belts, is to get a piece of rope or string and run it where the belt would go, measure that piece, count how many ribs you need and your set.

1977 280z Daily Driven Project
hoov100 replied to ModernS30's topic in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z
customizable ignition maps, reliability, don't have to worry about diztributors..etc -
-
I did this (see below) as for the indicators, if you can hear the relay clicking for the turnsignals, most likely they are still on, for the headlights, it doesn't really matter as they suck both ways.

Can we say, 1300 pound fiberglass rocket? Might need some ceramic tiles, for when you re-enter earth's atmosphere, after driving it.
-
'bastards number is also stricken from google and the phone book...
-
Nope, I went to google images instead...
-
We need that on this forum. "wheres waldo via google earth" just have a general area mapped and try and find a specific person.
-
If I do end up getting the 33, I'll mount up a dett's oil pump and take lots of pics.
-
What color is the house, how far up the street? any visual markers that make the house unique?
-
Yep, a TRUST manifold for use with a very turbo build.
-
I went completely around the block and couldn't find it.
-
I have the scarab kit, including engine isolators, motor mounts, trans crossmember, speedo cable and a new driveshaft, if your interested.

What brick building?
