hey guys well I joined the team of the 350 swaps, but sorted cheated, I bought it that way, It is a 78 280z, with a 96 corvette motor (LT1) with the vette trannie, then it has a LSD rear end. Not sure on a lot of the specs as I just bought it and am having the interior professially done. It has a fuel cell installed and dual flowmaster exshast.To stop her , it has disk brakes off a 350 Z. Bought it from a fellower Zer who is going throu a divorce. When I can find more info I will post at that time. I can't wait till sumer to take her out on a run. Later bob

well I checked and I have gas , at least to the injector rails. Not sure how to check to see if the injectors are spraying properly? Any suggestions would be appreciated. later bob

I forgot to mention that the donor car was an automatic, but my car s 5speed so I can't put it i park or neutral, thats why I asked about fooling it by doing a bypass to think its in park or neutral. ANy help would be appreciated,,,, thanks and Happy New Year bob

How do I check to see if it is getting gas? I felt the lines and I can feel it vibrating, as well does anyone know how to by pass the switch? If needed I can get a pic of the plug ends. thanks bob

Well I finially scraped the 84 trubo donor car, and in the week before Christmas we installed the turbo into my 86 300zx. Problem is it won"t start , ( was running good before we tore the 84 apart). Here is my question,,,,do I have to jump the electricial harness to fool it into thinking the car is in park? the car turns over, and there is a cliking in the gas sending unit as well as a hissing sound in the front of the motor.

Well I finially stripped the 84 donor car and installed the turbo into my 86 , It is in , however , I have a question, we changed the front wiring harness to allow the turbo to hook up, however the 84 was a automatic and the 86 a manual, Installed a borg warner 5 speed as well. But my question is do I have to do anything to jumper the auto plug to allow the motor to start? It turns over but won't start. May be a gas issue though, as I can hear the gas sender clicking.

Hey guys I have two ideas,,,, first if was to do the turbo switch in the 86, what does everybody think,,, should i keep the current motor and install the turbo gear on it or install the turbo motor, I have heard that the regular motor with the turbo gets better compression and us eless boost. But the turbo motor is better equipped to handle the turbo. What are your thoughhts?????? On the other hand the 280,,, would i be better to install a 350 chev, or maybe try thr turbo300 in it? Please give me any ideas u may have. Once i start it will be late to swirch then ,,,LOL thanks bob

thanks for your reply. Thats what a few others have told me. U say its a quite fix , what is the procedure and how long should it take. Bob

I have a 86 300zx,5 speed, it was making a noise when the clutch is out. It is fine when the clutch is 1/2 way in. I just repalced the slave and master cylinder new . Any suggestions bob

Sorry its so much of a question , but,thats where i am as of now. thanks bob

I know u guys are talking about the older Z's but those are the lights i bought to install in my 81 280zx , i have them know all i need is the time,LOL, i don't photo shop but when i do get them in i will post a photo , i am also shaving the bumper at the same time , maybe thats why its taking so long. later bob

well i finially got the bulbs changed, i took the good ones out of the old heater control I had that didn't work. So I am still 2 bulbs short , and i am getting better at removing replacing the unit thou, most troble was the wiring on the cd player, it has a sub woofer and the wires weren't marked, anyway its good , Thanks again Wizzard. Now here the next issue , how do i change the degree reading to celius? Its funny know that I can see it , now i want to change the degree, I am never happy. LOL thanks bob

i tried turning the + _ button but no luck, i can still see the number , although they are standard not metric. nut it is still hard to see. So if i changes the bulbs would that help. BTW i am heading to the nationials next week and would like some help before then , if possible. tia bob

Heres the issue, i switched my heater control but it kept coming on throwing heat all the time . ANyway i put the origianil back in, and although it works fie , i can't see the numbers on the temp gauge , if i look close they are there but they don't light up enught o see, as well one of the lights which indicate that it on defrost or demist isn't coming on, i can live with that but I need to see the temp degrees. Is there a fix or do i replace the unit? If so who has one? TIA bob
