got any pics of your z?, i might be confusing you with another fellow from canada, just pm me

sounds like you wiring harness under your dash might have been ate up by mice or just rot.... 2 of my zx's were like that

nevermind, it was just a bad relay

is it just the blower motor that isnt working or all you lights and such?

i think i might have a screwed up MS2 3.0, and tossed my simulator from my previous MS years ago...... if anyone has one, im interested but not willing to pay an arm and a leg for it either.

careless.... i thought you got rid of your z???? sry its been months since i logged in.

z=pricier zx=cheaper my opinion..... which is priceless anyway..... ZX HANDS DOWN FTW sry its a heated thread and I just wanna add something:wc:

I used to do fwd swaps, what exactly are you swapping into what so i know whether or not i can help you or not. is it the TDi in the az600?

Since i can not bear the thought of selling my zx.... i've decided to finally bring it back to my place to troubleshoot the MS wiring harness, and finish the cooling system. btw for those who don't know; this zx i'm hoping was a first of its kind..... ka24det 5spd megasquirt 2 3.0pcb etc, etc, etc....

news to me

LOL!! i gave him all those parts.... glad they are going to good use. dude you need to come over and help me finish mine up.

turbo axles are different than the n/a cars. turbo axles have cv joints and n/a have u-joints which are not interchangeable unless you change out the outputflanges on the diff. and yes the splines are the same from when i did mine a while back

k, i won't be able to reply for a few days, going to maryland from texas to visit relatives but will get a write up goin asap i suppose. heres something to get you going. 1.-19.00mm offset rims 15x8's 2.12" 425lb qa1 springs 3.tokico hp blue's 4.sleeves and spanner rings that will fit stut tube, and tube over the rear shock. total cost for me was 160 for springs 40 for sleeves and spanners 200 for shocks 8hrs of easy labor for me this is my setup

By the way guys looking at this thread... THANX! if it wasn't for some of you guy's comments in the past and complaining about how there are never any s130 threads, i probably would have quit a long time ago. But it only further lead me to make a statement about the s130 that i SO believed in for half a decade. Ive been turned down on other z sites as an outcast, but here I FEEL LIKE AN OUTCAST AMONG OUTCASTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanx again!

otm with 425's in the rear you are definitly able to use 8" with no binding, as far as struts go... rule of thumb... higher rated springs do less damage on springs b/c they have much more limited travel verus your 225/250's or at least thats what QA1 tech said when recommending me the 425 for my application. and also just because you put $$$$ into certain things doesnt necessary mean it will outlast the cheaper version. i prefer proper function over expense. btw everytime i read anything you post i imagine house talking in person... odd isn't it?

i could do a sticky but that will be awhile b/c i dont have all the pics anymore of the process, btw all i used for the coilover sleeves was a ebay 93 civic el cheapo coilover kit. and yes they are stiff, but it didnt bother me when i drove around town for awhile. rule of thumb for all if doing a custom coilover kit... use 8" springs all around, i used 12" and didnt need them that long and thank god for my high negative offset rims or i wouldnt have cleared them

wouldnt adding ss allen bolts add weight to the wheel (aka outside diameter?) or better yet throw the balance of the wheel way off if the bolts dont weigh exactly the same? talk about huge balancing weights on them......... dont know much about autox but thats my .02

Checking In!!! 83 280zx With Ka24det, Megasquirt, 240sx Dash, Coilover, Etc Swap!

QA1's from summit racing online, yea i wanted to be the first with kAt in a s130, or at least documented first. ive only seen one s130 with the sr20 and last i spoke with him, he parted the car out b/c his engine starved of oil

aren't you building a s130 for the salt flats tony d?

i was a rustoholic!!! floorboards, rear quarters on the bottom, front tip of the hood, batt tray of course, frame rails, top and bottom of windshield, and thats it i think.

frank, it's a long story. but just know that it did work efficently when it was completed

hope to see you at the texas wide z meet devil-z.........
