  1. Your right, those rockers look to be in great condition. The wipe pattern is spot on...
  2. What if your tried this one again, but followed the "spray on" instructions... do you think it would work as good as the canned spray on version, but cost less??
  3. Woops... red lighted... man thats awesome...... I'd love to have a ride down the strip in that Z...
  4. Thats a very nice set up there Rick... what is the bracket called MB spacer (part closest to us in pic with everything in it) used for? All the other pieces I understand...
  5. Thats a great idea Jamie. So you have something like this in mind?
  6. If your using the stock turbo manifold set up (not individual TB's) then anywhere on the plenum (after the TB) should be the same for a signal.
  7. James has been out of town for a few, but I'm sure he will respond when he sees the intrest...
  8. Its still for sale' date=' and I think it has [i']your[/i] name on it.....
  9. I think it looks and sounds right on the money... Very impressed. Keep em coming Ken and Company...
  10. fl327 is correct, just take the pinion flange from your current R200, and swap it onto the 85 R200.. (if it is indeed a different bolt pattern)
  11. I was just courious ..... besides, I guess Vince beat both of us to it....
  12. Please PM me with the $ you are asking for it.
  13. back from the dead....http://www.miatanet.com/garage/pushstart/
  14. I went with Nismo bearings and oil pump. I would like to have bought the Jun' date=' Tomei, or Gready oil pump, but the cost kept me in check. *** EDIT: well I went ahead and bought the Trust/ Greddy/ Jun oil pump, along with a Accusump oil reserve do-dad.... [img']http://www.accusump.com/acc_products/24_126.jpg[/img] I don't plan on revving this to 10,000 rpm, so the Nissan parts should hold up for my driving style. I plan on having a few extra ponies on tap, but I'm not going to be using it at the max very often.. I think the RB26 motor using Nissan bearings. oil and water pump, is pretty safe for a daily driver...
  15. Here are a few more pics for those trying to understand what all this oil pump drive talk is about... The crank is from the first R32 motor I bought, that had been thrashed beyond belief. The oil pump shown is from the same motor. If you look closely, you can see where the flat spot is on the crank, and on the pump gear I removed from the pump, it shows that no more than 1/4" of the crank flat reaches inside of the pump gear... This is shown by the area that looks as though its been rubbed, so you can see where the crank drive flat, and the pil pump drive gear flats touch each other. It isn't very much... Also, you can see where the flat spot on the crank shows of it being kinda rounded off on the edges, This pump drive gear spun on the crank in my opinion, which is why the motor was toasted.... Moral of the story.... get the crank modded with the sleeve, or buy a R33 crank as I did, and sleep better at night...
  16. For those who keep seeing this subject brought up, this will kinda show what we are talking about when trying to explain the difference between the RB26 crankshaft that has the "R32 early" oil drive thats to short, and the later, modified R33/34 crank that Nissan uprated to solve the oil pump drive problem. Below is the early crank, and if you look at the snout where the small flat portion is, this is the area that the oil pump engages. If you look at the second crank, you'll see how the flat portion is extended out toward the tip of the crank much more, to where now, the oil drive has more surface area to stay engaged with the oil pump drive gear that slips over/onto this flat area on the crank... EARLY CRANK IMPROVED CRANK
  17. once I get the R230 set up and installed, I just may sell off the R200's. But this will be way down the road, as my project may take longer than I expected...
  18. We as Americans, really do have some compassion.... It's nice that a few show that now and then with one of these short films... I get tired of seeing just the negative view all the time. This one is kinda refreshing...
  19. I was just simply throwing this possibility I ran across out here for discussion.... I have two extra R200 LSD's, and a R230 TT dif, so I'm not looking to buy one of these above units, just trying to help out those who may be looking. If it has been ran to the ground already in a prior thread, SORRY !!
  20. well, when I lived in Covina, with this Z, I could have got away with that ( I don't know about right now though.... lots of rain ) but down here in the tropics, you gotta have a working, very fast, wiper motor....
  21. I just received the three HELLA wiper relays I ordered today. These are the ones that a link was provided for in the above posts in this thread. I ordered three of them, one for myself, and two extras, that are already sold. Now I belive I can finish up my Honda wiper motor Hybrid swap, as shown above in my picture links.
  22. I wonder if this unit would fit our R200 cases? The price is right..... Have a look HERE
  23. gotcha... thanks for the info, and it does indeed look awesome!
