  1. So I started to smell coolant inside the truck over the weekend didn't thought much about it. This morning my windshield started to fog up really bad so I took another truck to work. Left work early got home started to tear the truck apart cause my dad had 2 cars were the heater core went bad. Here are the process.I was not going to pay a mechanic to do it they charge $500.

  2. I was thinking of that but I was having trouble with my sending unit everytime I hit a bump on the road my gauge would take a crap on me.As far as a spare I need to find one with a 5x 5.75 bolt pattern. This car is not going to be a daily driver. I have already cut out the spare tire well.My problem is that I can't never be satisfied with the modifications I have done to the car Im always trying to do things to it.

  3. I have been busy lately with my dad's 64 galaxie.I was running out of funds so I had to stop working on the z and save up some money. Well I just got the summit plastic fuel cell and some AN fittings. Well here are some pictures. I have also installed the engine and did my downpipe and some of the exhaust but still not done.

  4. I have the DIY MSI kit with v3.0 board I just wanted to know if the codes/firmware already loaded on to the proccessor or do I have to load it in also what firmware is standard if its already loaded.Want to control fuel and spark/timing.

  5. The Boot Header {H1) on the board near Q9 is used to reprogram the CPU in MegaSquirt® (not the tuning parameters, but the actually code that uses the tuning parameters). It is NOT used for MegaSquirt-II. Leave it open, and do not jumper it in either case. In most cases you won't need to touch it. Depending on what you want from your MegaSquirt® EFI Controller, though, you may end up using the boot header to eventually to load customized code, such as MSnS-E, etc. To load new code, put a short piece of bent wire between the two H1 holes. Some people have put a momentary switch across the boot header, and place the switch so they can go into bootloader mode simply by pressing this switch while powering up, without opening the case. (If you do this, be sure it can't be pressed accidentally.) The instructions for loading new MegaSquirt® code (not MS-II) is here.

     

    DO i have to do this in order to FLASH the computer its the DIY msI v3.0 board

  6. Well today I went to the local swapmeet to look for a old laptop with the DB9 serial outlet found one but there was no power adapter he wanted $40. I decide not to buy it got home got on craigslist but no luck. Looked on recycler and found one a Compac armada M700 for $175. Some old man was selling it in ontario,CA so i got it he also was selling more laptops toshiba laptops for $160. I got home connected the MSI to the stimulator and to the laptop to check if everything is in good shape. As of right know im on step 71 on the DIY msI kit. Im having some problems regarding some off the steps that I will post later on. I should of got the MSI fully assemble.

     

    I almost forgot I went to the local junkyard on saturday I found a Turbo 280zx. I got the injectors with the fuel rail since mine didn't have anything. I also took the stock Oil cooler with hoses.I also got some tubing for the exhaust and downpipe.

  7. yesterday I picked up a 81 280zx L28et engine for $250 I injectors are missin and fuel rail. But going to buy new ones later on. here are some pictures.The guy at the wrecking yard said It had been there for more than 7 years. It has around 117,000 miles.

  8. I just went to autozone got a can with the gauge and fill it up. I guess it didn't have anything in there it was reading pretty low. I empty the can at 50psi at +85degrees and hurray my a/c is working let's just hope there are no leaks..
