  1. I am looking to get Rota Rb 15 x 7 FOR my 68-2000, can someone tell me the measurement of the center cap. Height and how big the opening is in the wheel where the cap seat into. I know the cap will not fit on the front hub as the hub is longer than the cap, I want to find and placement cap.

  2. Thanks to all that responded. I installed my stereo last Nov. went with Alpine 6 1/2 components up front Infinity 6 x 9 in the back and 12" sub in the spare tire well. I must say it turn out better than I expected. I really like it.

  3. When I did my turbo swap years ago this the what I used for my wiring

     

     

     

     

     

    You need to get a Haynes manual for ’79 to ’83 280ZX. This is the one with

    the red cover. Look on page 252, this is the wiring diagram. You will see

    3 plugs labeled “1,2,3” with circles around the numbers. This is at the

    lower left-hand side of the page.

     

    The wires are as follows:

     

    Plug 1= BR 12v power source. Positive

     

    G 12v power source. Positive

     

    Plug 2=Y start signal (+)

    GL ground for inhibitor switch

    YW speed sensor (not necessary)

    Y A/C signal (+)

    YW coil (-)

    B fuel pump ground if using modulator

     

    Plug 3=LR fuel pump relay

    G ignition .signal (+) for air regulator

    W not used

    Y not used

    BW ignition signal (+)

  4. I'm in the market for some 6 x 9 speakers for my 240z. I have been out of the car stereo game for a long time, not sure what good anymore. I was looking on crutcfield web page and saw a few speakers I'm interested in. Would you guy's look at them and give me recommendation, as I have not heard any of the play.

    I listen to a wide range of music from old school Hip Hop, top 40, soft rock and reggae. My set up consist of 6-1/2 components in the front, one 12" sub in the spare tire compartment , 6 x 9 in the back I will run the 6 x9 and the 6- 1/2 of my Alipne 80 W x four amp. once I fine a good set to buy.

  5. WARNING STAY AWAY FROM Auto Computer Technologies. I sent this guy my computer and wiring for my LS 1 swap. He told me it would take four weeks I got my parts back 11 weeks later. I had to hound him down for six long weeks before I got my parts back. He stopped answering his phone, and E-mail. Dealing with this guy is a hassle. Do you self a favor and call the Guy Ron recommended.

  6. I finally got my 240z running last night. Boy is this thing loud , scared the hell out of last night when I first got it running. Let me take the time to thank Hybridz, lots of good info. on this site not mention members. Speaking of members there are a few I would like to thank. 1TUFFZ, EVILc, Scott ( Grenade300)for the write up and returning my emails and phone calls especially RON (rwwisnesley). Ron took my calls anytime called me often to see how things were coming along.

  7. I sent my wiring harness and computer to have them converted for my LS 1 swap into my 240z. The guy told me he needed a month to get it ready. I send them out on 1/29/08, called him on 2/29/08 about my parts and he had not started on it . He told me he was going to work on it and I would have them in a week, I called a week later only to find he still had not touch my parts. I called him the following week and still nothing. He promised he would have it done last Friday and mailed out on Saturday I have not gotten it as of yet. I have tried to called him the last two day and he's not answering his phone. Left a few massages he's not calling me back.

    Have anyone used this guy before ?

    Does anyone knows of or have a harness and computer I can buy if this guy does rip mr off. I need one of a 2002 SS camaro

  8. I in the middle of my LS 1( 02 ss camaro ) swap, remove the tranny today to install the clutch line . While I had the tranny off I took off the clutch to inspect it, found it needs to be replaced. I have been looking for a replacement .Called Advance auto parts and they have a kit for $ 430 (Zoom). Would any of you, guys have and experience with this clutch, or have a recommendations on a good clutch. I will be using the car as a nice weather driver, no track or drag racing. The motor is stock and I don't plan on any power HP. up grade.

  9. anyone running Autometer (ultra lite) gauges. I'm thinking of getting a set for my 240Z when I install my ls1. Would like to see pic' of them installed in a dash. If anyone have these gauges will you please post some pic.

  10. I would like to thank all of you for your advise, asecially Z48LT for the link to the post by gvincet about parting out a car. After reading that post I have decided to buy my package deal and call it a day. Not only the post convenst me that parting was not for me, but what really sealed the deal was when I looked at gvincent pic's http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=15517&cat=500&ppuser=13564

    in his gallery and saw that the engine comes out the bottom of the car. I don't have that kind off time as it looks to be a lot of work. Time that I could spend getting my car back on the road.

  11. OK guy's I found a wracked 00- camaro 43k miles that I can get for $4000 for the whole car shipping is $600. Or I can buy a complete pull out engine 47k miles tranny wiring and computer for $4750 shipped. What do you guy's think would be a better deal. I'm leaning toward the whole car as I can part it out and get some money back. My only concers is it seams that the 02 is more disarible as to having the LS2 heads. Is the LS2 heads really worth me not buing the whole car?

  12. I'm shopping around for my LS 1 swap. I have not been able to find a 00-02 engine 6 sp tranny combo with good miles at affair price. I have come across two engines about 100 mile away from. one is an 02 with 12k miles for $4200

    with is 60 miles away. The other is an 00 with 42k miles for $3500. Both engine's are Auto. I really want a 6 sp. tranny. I though of buying the 02, and than sell the auto tranny and buy a 6 sp. how when I add up my estimate it would me more costly to go this way than if I could find a low miles engine six speed combo.

    I did speak to a guy Buffalo ,N. Y that claims to have 12k mile 02 ss motor and tranny combo wiring computer for $4650. shipped to me. The only thing is I' not sure I can TRUST HIM.
