I'd fab up some kind of magnetic drip pan so it can take the heat when you park it. Cheap and easy, but a little messy.

Yes found it after RTz posted. For blind folks like me and for simplicity, I think seperating the two and renaminng, "View New Content", to "New Posts" would be much more descriptive. Just my opinions.

I've got one also.

Just watching this episode now. What I found remarkable was the guy said fixed up it is worth 60-70K! I was like what!?

I have some from an 82 turbo zx. I think they are the same.

Chris, did you find the bag of plastic rivits I gave you in the zip lock? You can also find those on ebay. This is what I gave you here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-DATSUN-TRIM-PANEL-RIVETS-90467-06054-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem439a07904eQQitemZ290346995790QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Problem found and solved thanks to Chris Leon. He checked the car out before I sold it. He found that the rear driver side strut tube nut was loose about a quarter of an inch. Tightend it up and the hop / shudder went away under heavy accleration and so did the clunking! Completely makes sense now. Wish I would have taken it to him sooner for a look. The nice thing is I learned something. He hasn't posted in awhile, but his race car is coming along nicely.

What were the specs on this turbo Warren? Did you trailer the car to the track that day?

I've also got a real nice 280z I'll sell you for $100. I swear not a bit of rust! Chris, it will be a great example of a problem car for comparison.

I called and left him a message.

You may find more help if you change the title to mechanic and not mechanism. Seems like you want a part, but in reality you want a mechanic.

Wow, 1 year 4 months later, LOL!

He has the rt diff mount. Check the mb fittings.

$50 plus shipping.

The top view is the most tolerable. The back though.... well cough.... yikes, just bad..

I've got one (3.54) but I really don't feel like taking it apart. What is the complete thing worth to you?

Tom looks great! I'll have to swing by and take a closer look. I like the raw look of the rivets / bolts on the back.

Search ebay. The wheels / rims aren't worth much. The hubcabs might be, again ebay.

I did an advance search, with only "Search Title Only" checked and put in Datsun in the "Find words" and nothing was returned? Tried also Turbo or weber and nothing. What am I doiong wrong?

I was not aware that you can use the 280zxt Companion flanges with this swap. You need to get the MM ZX conversion flanges. Maybe I've miss read what you said? These: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5

I liked pretty much everything you said.

I'd pull the valve cover to see if all the rockers are in place too. Before doing that I would pull the plug wires off one by one and see if you can tell if the motor drops down a little one by one when idling, then do a compression test and then pull the valve cover if either one of those two checks seem off.
