Yo Dave, I know this is an old thread... but can you re-up these lost pics please. I'm looking into brake ducting and can't remember the pics off hand and I think it'd be beneficial to others as well.
Thanks - J
Sure Justin! I was hoping to edit my original post, but i guess its been too long? You feel like making some copies of these?

Im surprised nobody has commented on the straight axle yet. Thats totally reverse engineering. Your mechanic says it wont kill handling...yes it will. Why would you go from a beefy IRS LSD to a straight axle? Theres no need to, the rear will handle it. Its not like you are replacing a weak lil R180 in a 240z to handle a high power motor, we are talking about a seriously beefy r230 LSD here. Ill mention the independant rear suspension one more time.

So your all saying that I should go with like n47 head than the p90. Compression ratio with n47 head is 8,3:1 and p90 with would be around 7,3:1
With which head would I get more reliable setup? which would be better for over 300hp setup?
You need to match the head with the pistons you are using. P head should go with flat pistons, and N heads should go with dished pistons.

Garret, did you ever figure this out? It just happened to me yesterday http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=126373

Guys,
I just finished a nice little n42/n47 motor 2 weeks ago. I fired it up 3 days ago and havent been able to get the motor to run right. Today i figured out the AFM spring tension wheel needed to be turned another turn. Everything was running well, so i revved it up and down in the driveway and an expansion plug popped out of the block. I shut the motor down within 2 seconds.
I swear up and down that all the plugs were in the block as best as they could when i installed them. I rubbed grey silicone on the mating surface of the block, and also on the plugs themselves. They were super tight when i put them in. This crap just scares me, i wanna drive cross country.
After i cleaned up the mess, i came in and read a little bit on a Ford forum. I found that some of the guys racing their cars are threading the expansion plug holes and sticking some threaded plugs in the block. Theres a couple of guys doing the same with the oil gallies on their Datsun motors, so why not the expansion plugs. I dont plan on taking the car anywhere itll get cold enough to pop a plug. As you can see, the threaded expansion plug mod is popular enough that Ford Racing offers a complete kit for race applications http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=FMS-M-6026-B302&view=1&N=150+150 My zx will see many high speed track events. I will not drive it on the street as much as a drive it on the track.
I expect BRAAP and others who build serious motors to give me some input on these threaded plugs

I tow a full car trailer with either a 300zx or a 280zx on it every other weekend in my 5.4 Expedition. Let me tell you, if you wanna tow over 2 tons, a turbo deisel is the way to go. No ifs ands or buts, you want the power to tow and not struggle going up hills, or dropping down to 2nd gear and revving the crap out of your motor, turbo deisel. Dont skimp on trucks, or itll hurt you in the long run. The smallest thing i would tow with is an F250. This is from experience after buying the Expedition with the 5.4.

Justin im gonna just be honest and tell you i dont like any of your previous selections. I dont know why, they just dont look right to me. I think if you keep a bare polished rim/lip and go with a graphite color for the inside, you cant go wrong.

I have a friend selling an autopower bar near san fran if anyone is interested.

The wheels look beautiful by themselves polished, but they look better in black on the car.

Very nice! Ill have my Y40 at this house in a couple of weeks. More pics to follow.

I hate Hyundai..
my parents own 2 Elantra's and a Sonata.. cheap Korean crap..
You should tell them to get rid of the early 90's junk and get some new Hyundai products.

Last i scaled my 280zx it came in around 2,750. Thats what the bumpers removed under the fiberglass and all climate control stuff removed from the engine bay. Since then ive removed every single thing under the dash, the only things left are the gauges in front of the the driver and the triple gauges. All interior is gone as well as additional bits and peices from the chassis i wont be needing. Every single peice i removed from the car was weighed upon removal, and i calculate my 280zx is down around 2,400-500 now. Its just an engine, suspension, dash, and seats. Ill scale again when i get the motor back in just for reference.

BRAPP,
I just want to point how random damages can be. A few friends and I were driving up to Mt Wilson a couple of years ago, and I hit a bear in the 280zx with fiberglass body kit from MSA and didnt even scratch the paint.

Xenon, id like to thank you for the S130 site. Tonight i used the reference section and downloaded the 82 service manual so i could get the torque specs of the engine bottom end bolts. Thanks!

David,
Do you have a wide band O-2 in the mix? This might help you as well.
Thats probably one of the best things i can get to help. Damn this AFM, it should have been a simple adjustment.
-
Geeez Tony, so you are are saying the vg30et swap into my 79 isnt illegal in CA and can actually PASS inspection as long as i have a motor from a passenger car and not a truck and all OE emmisions equipment installed and functional just like it says in a zillion threads here on the site? By golly thats wonderful news, i shall rejoice tonight!

I have pessurized the system from the turbo inlet with a compressor up to like 30 somthing lbs. and there were no leaks.
Id still look at the clamps man. Compressors pump up stuff slow, boost is quick. I bet you are blowing a hose off the intercooler when boost hits.

A few months ago i finally got the TWM TB on my zx and i cant for the life of me get the damn fuel delivery correct now. I removed the innards from the n/a AFM and put them in a turbo AFM. The engine is a p90 shaved and shimmed with flat pistons. Im adjusting fuel at idle, 2,500 rpm, and 4,500 rpm.I figured if i get the fuel mixture correct on all 3 of those engine speeds i should be good to go all the way up to 6k at least. I seriously cant get the damn mixture correct. Im thinking about sticking a colortune plug in each cylinder and checking combustion. Given what i know, it shouldnt be any different than tuning carbs with a colortune, correct me if im wrong.

HA! I love Shakira.

I really didnt post so everyone can tell me its my computer, must have adware, etc etc etc. Im very computer savvy and i know and have known how to use one. Lets just get that out of the way.
Now lets talk about content related ads. Mario, ive used google ads before on several sites and im fully aware of how they operate. Just like to get that out of the way too.
So how about we watch this video NOW!!! Nice ass on that girl, bending over and everything.
How about another ad warning people not to click unless they are 18. Doesnt matter what on the other side, people see "over 18" or whatever and automatically think PORN. I mean, what if a librarian or SUPERVISOR at your work walks by and sees that. Do you think they are gonna ask questions? I dont think so.
Must be over 18? Librarian: banned from library for life, Boss: must be porn, fire him.
How about we watch the Anna Nicole Smith SECRET FILES? Damn, everyone knows she was in Playboy and got around more than a basketball on a halfcourt. Perfect time for a supervisor at work to walk by.
I better not click, because im not under 18. Whatever that link has to show, apparently isnt appropriate for me to see!
Im pretty close to Whittier. I like black bras too. Damn good looking woman, i think ill click on that so i can find some women in my area to hook up with and have some "intimate" relations with. Afterall, it is "intimate dating", or so it says.
OOhhh Jessica Alba steamy videos!

Sounds like you may have gotten a bit of advertising spyware stuck on your machine. No such happenings on this computer.
Maybe it's time to take a whack at it with Adaware, or Spybot Search&Destroy?
Best of luck!
I wish it was just that, but theres nothing in this PC. Its something on hybridz. I can surf the net all day and nothing happens until i come to hybridz.
EDIT: I just went to internet explorer settings and checked out the pop up blocker execptions and Hybridz was the only site i was allowing pop ups from. I allowed pop ups on hybridz a while back because i like the PM notification feature. I disallow pop ups from this site now. Hopefully the admins see that the ads are messin' with peoples experience here.
DOUBLE EDIT: Im getting a lot of soft porn crap on the advertisements too. God knows what people are thinking over my shoulder. They probably think im a perv or something looking at a porn forum.
-
Has anyone started getting pop ups like crazy lately when visiting Hybrid Z? I have all the pop up blockers and stuff and i still get them. Its only when visiting THIS site.

the mass air flow sensor will be located in front of the radiator along with a KnN cone air fillter oh ya the tubing is 3in id and what you see there cost me 15$ for the tubing 90s and the boots
When i had my IROC and was in the clubs, a couple of the guys who put thier meters that far from the throttle body were having problems with the engine running right. Did you run it yet?

I dont see the point of a seperate site either. HybridZ is the center of the universe for tech stuff pertaining 70-83 mostly, and some z31/z32/350z stuff. Why dont you contribute to THIS site and provide a collection of knowledge and a fiche. Believe me when i say using this site will get your information more traffic in one week than your own site will get in a year!
Once you start compiling information, sooner or later everyone and their mother will point to HybridZ for all basic and advanced techincal discussions pertaining to the 280zx, like you dream of

I subscribed to the thread because i live right outside LA in Norwalk. I have a similar project in the works involving a TPI motor and a 280zx.
