I purchased the Dirty Dingo kit with plan on doing a forward facing turbo. The motor is currently at the machine shop once its back I will let you know how placement goes for me with the bolt in kit.

When you say the Holley intake dose not clear what model were you talking about? I am looking at running the Holley mid piece.

Now how about if you have a throttle body coming forward, and a 3 inch pipe off of it do you still have clearance forward? Does look really cool as it sits.

Since I need the pan, windage tray, pick up, dip stick tube, and dip stick this process would be easier. Also they are hard to come across on ls1tech that are in worth while condition at a decent cost.

Has anyone tried the performance GM swap pan kit? Big cost difference with them and just curious if they work.

Very cool. A lot of body work to clean up but what 40 year old car wouldn't.

Thanks for the info mtnickel. I did not know that about the daughterboards.

It is 60 dollars for the board then you still need the Nistune software to talk to it. The ad says for 220 AUD "205 USD" for the software. My guess is they build these boards based off the original ones. Something along the lines of reverse engineering it I am not completely sure. For the extra 120 USD, "I believe", going direct to Nistune would be you best course of action. If you have any hardware or software issues Nistune is great help. Also if you loose your software key and need it retrieved for you they are very prompt to do so. I would question that out of a eBay knockoff. Also I have Nistune running on a Z32TT and am very impressed with the software just dont forget to burn to eprom even after your write to the ECU otherwise after you reset your ignition you will not have a tune anymore. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ER34-Z32-Y33-RB25DET-1-78mm-ribbon-Nissan-Universal-Chip-Daughter-Board-ECU-/231012537142?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c96b9336&vxp=mtr Also side note- The below text is direct our of there ad and the line "may take tunes with our DaughterBoard" is not very reassuring. Works with : 200sx S13 redtop and 180SX blacktop SR20DET, Primera P2 SR20DE, BG5, 200SX S14, S14a and S15 SR20DET, Z32, Y33, ER34 RB25DET ECU’s of all these cars are different, but may take tunes with our DaughterBoard.

Agreed Greg is a very nice guy. Had a question on one of his parts. Turns out he actually answers when you call and will give you the explanation you need. Great guy.

I have everything I need except the following two items, AFM bracket from the meter to the frame Starter Relay/Seat Belt Relay for an automatic, also need all the relays and switches for the ac. Thanks everyone for the offers.

I am running the 8 hole Energy one on my steering nuckle. I replaced those and the steering rack while the motor was out. You just need to make sure if you do that the 8 that it lines everything up correctly.

Who is going to be doing the tuning on the car? Joey @ Excessive Autosports here in Sioux Falls, SD, has a huge amount of experiance tuning E85/E99 LS engines had all my Subaru work done on his AWD dyno. This project looks like an extream amount of fun/headaches. Ill be down at KC2K14 hope to see it down there if you make it.

Ok so after searching batch fire I found this on the forum from BRAAP. Thank you for the help clarifying how to sort out my wiring delema. I might be the only one but batch fire seems like a terrible way to fire injectors. Is there any issue in L28s with rings getting washed down by excess fuel? Obviously Nissan did this for a number of years so it works my brain is just confused on how it works without causing issues. Thanks again for your help.

I was not aware of batch firing the injectors. I come from a TT 300zx background where I converted from NA to TT. I have been told by some that when you do a batch fire they fire two cylendars at once not all six. This would be slghtly ineficient for the injectors all to fire at the same time wouldnt it? So just so I have things straight I can put what ever injector plug where ever I want? Obvously the length of the harness will determine how it lays out across the engine but other then that I would not have an issue? Thank you again,

Hello, I was trying to figure out the best way to identify what injector plug goes to what injector.I decided this was my easiest way to do it. So I made a simple .pdf from from Excel that gives the ECU pin out to the corrisponding injector and that way I will be able to just use a meter to find what injector plug goes where. If anyone has a better idea or knows a way to easily do this please let me know as all the help would be appreciated. I hope this document will help other people with my issues. This info was pulled from the 280-Z Electronic Fuel Injecton Theory and Troubleshooting book. Thanks, FuelInjectorPinNumbers.pdf

Not quite sure what you are asking about the fuel filter you can still run the Sea Foam threw the gas it will clean your injectors out. Also for the fuel injector guys on my 300zx i just pulled the Brake booster line off that is "T" into the intake manifold and you can clean the carbage build up that way or spray your throttle body out with some Carb cleaner that will also help with some bad idle proablems kinda a stray from the topic but it works wonders as well for the car to run smooth.

Sea Foam is good stuff pour some in your gastank pour alittle down each carb make sure to run it threw the carbs at about a constant 3000 rmps will smoke alot but help clean alot of things up.

car-part.com check there they have many maxima LD28 engines ive seen a complete engine as low as 200 I do not belive they sell the crank allone but you could always ask. Good luck with the search
