Yup, here's what you need: Download the application from TunerCat's site. PAy the license fee and get a serial number Buy the correct definition file for the LT1 ($EE)-$20 Drop that file into the TunerCat directory on you computer Buy the cable from Andrew at http://www.akmcables.com/ Now you are ready to read, edit and flash your PCM. IT's actually lots of fun. I still get the giggles like a little school girl evertime I do it. Also download FreeScan. It's a great little program and is free to download and use. It has a dashboard screen that you can watch while the engine is running and see all the parameters that the PCM uses (Revs, inlet air temp, H2O temp, oil pressure etc etc...it's great) and you can see what trouble codes the PCM is throwing and reset them, which TunerCat cannot do. http://www.andywhittaker.com/ecu/ecu_software.htm Tim

What are you gonna use for gearbox and axles?

Just thinking that the 225s should come out cheaper...unless you have your heart set on Kuhmo.....has nothing to do with suspension....maybe shop around a bit more for better prices?

I just bought a set of Falkens (245/45-16) mounted, balanced etc for $450.00. They stick like shite to a blanket!! (I also just put a set of Falkens on my Z28 255/50-16s for the same price and they also stick WAYYYY better than the Dunlop Sport 8000s that were on previous).

I believe that the LT1s are all the same from 92 to 98, except for cams and optis, and fuel rails (early ones). Here you go: http://www.h-body.org/people/projects/building_lt1/lt1%20info.html Tim

They should work. I used pre-LT1 header flanges on my LT1 so it makes sense that the reverse would work?

Thanks for the heads up Jeff!! If I remember correctly, spring compressor is unnecessary? Tim

Mike knows wayyyy to much on the topic

I just bit the bullet and ordered a set of Bilsteins from http://www.ajusa.com for $353.29 shipped (incl. CA tax ). They are in San Diego, so I'll get them quicker. Thanks for the advise. I guess I just needed someone to twist my arm a little harder to get the 'Billies' Tim

I use Tuner Cat on my 94 LT1. It's awesome!!!

Depends if you have the $$$ for the tuning software!!! That being the case, then absolutely!!!

That's just not true!! I don't owe her a red cent. I gave the money directly to her pimp...J.C. Dawg!! Tim

Better not stay with John, then! ha ha ha

I hope that you are not planning to pick up that Z and not stop by my place with it!!!! :malebitchslap: Tim

I also got my rims from Centerline, but with coilovers, I could use the mustang backspacing, so I am using 8inch wide rims with 5 inch back spacing which leaves about 1/4 inch gap between the tire and spring. Tim

The 93 is speed density. The only difference from 94 up is the venting of the optispark. Tim

Are you flying in? I live right by the airport (LAX) and can make the necessary arrangements for you if you let me know the details. Depending on when you arrive, I can also offer pick up service (I am literally 5 minutes from the airport). John's shop is only about 30-40 minutes from the airport. Or 2 hours, depending on our lovely LA traffic! Tim

Classic symptoms of project snowball!!! Tim

No Dave Booth is NOT the guy.

I just cut the OEM one and welded a piece of rectangular tubing across the top of it. Very inexpensive and easy. [/img]

Well not Datsun Z related, this is for my Z28 (94). At 90k, it's definitely time to change out the shocks/struts, but not with OEM. Anyone heard anything about these guys? Their feedback looks very good: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2461775412&category=33590 or http://www.suspensionmax.com/Products.htm. I'd love to put on a set of Bilsteins, but can't really see spending the $$$ for a daily driver. Otherwise, maybe the KYB AGX?: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2460134259&category=33590 I know there a few guys with LT1 Camaros out there...any words of wisdom.... Tim

I've sat in and driven a colleagues 2003 Tiburon GT. Those seats are FANTASTIC!! I even said to her "Don't be surprised if you come out one day and your seats are gone!!"

Sweet MAMA!!! That's gonna leave a mark!!

PM me your address. I will try to come by tomorrow afternoon.

Yup HybridZ.org's members RULE!!!!
