Aeroquip FBM2244 Are the fittings needed to go into the factory oil cooler adapter, and then just the adapters for whatever oil cooler you end up using. I'll try and get some pics this week.

Wanted to see if someone had a drive shaft ready to go instead of me getting one made myself. 240z with 280zxt with the t5 tranny, and a r200 rear. Thanks Phil

i have a 99 convertable bmw as my daily, and thought about doing a LS1 swap in it, but I think i'm just going to sell it for the 300zx. I don't mind cutting the firewall, done it plenty of times in 350 conversions in minitrucks. Thanks to all for everyone's input.

Good info

I'm welding in a bottem sump into my stock 72 tank, and was looking at all the other lines that go into it. I think I should be able to weld up all the extra holes except the filler and vent for the filler, right? I was thinking of just putting a T before the fuel pump for my return. (280ZXT swap BTW) Thanks Phil

John, thanks for your comments, regular and sarcastic. i understand that phone is useful, but my schedule isn't great for dealing with most companies, also I tend to try and not keep people on the phone to much if its stuff I don't understand fully. Info on forums, pics, etc helps 100 times more generally. I spend a bunch of time explaining stuff to customers at my shop, and end up refereing them to online sources so i can get work done.

If anyone has pictures, i love pictures, it would be awsome. trying to make cents of it all... I don't have any dollars left

been on that page, its not very user friendly, wish i could find a catalog or something. i guess if it was easy, everyone would do it.

I got a ARE oil sump a while back for a old Z, Totaled it and now thinking of putting it in my turbo swap car. I'm missing a pully, perhaps a tentionor, and maybee some other stuff. I have never used one before so if someone can point me in the right direction, i'd appriciate it.

woops sorry meant to create a new posting....

Here is the full kit http://www.jegs.com/i/KBS+Coatings/191/53000/10002/-1

Tried to order, no longer available.

Thinking of getting this to weld to the bottem of my factory tank instead of screwing around with my 280z tank. Weld up all the extra holes, exept the filler, sending unit, and one vent to go to the filler neck. Sound good or am I missing something? Also put in a tank sealer so i'll have years of trouble free service... KBS Coatings Gold Standard Gas Tank Sealer Gold Standard Fuel Tank Sealer will stop rust and form a tough, fuel impervious coating while sealing small pinholes and weld seams. Your fuel will never touch the inside walls of your tank again

well perhaps i'm a moron then, i could have swore it was up. If its not, then, well everyone can kick me in the but. Please only one kick per person. Thanks Phil

I'll just raise up the car some i guess. I liked the look of tucking some of my 17" wheel. MMs web site has it that same direction, so i'll just run without a ebrake if needed later. Thanks for taking a look at it. Phil

sorry for the bad pic, it was done with my camera phone.

Pic posted... and yes the plan is to be pretty low. few weeks ago slammed a z06 vette, it looked bad ass....

i have the MM disk brake conversion for the Z, right now i set my ride height with my coilovers and the brakes hit the body, any1 else have this problem? I raised the car up to higher than i want to run and its only about 1" from the body sooooo i'm at a loss right now Thanks Phil

Well after doing my research here, looks like i'm ordering this today http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=AER-FBM2244&N=700+115&autoview=sku For the elbows I am thinking of http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=AER-FBM1523&N=700+400274+115&autoview=sku can I use regular oil line hose with clamp on this? For a oil cooler i'm thinking of http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BMM-70273&N=700+-128262+115&autoview=sku Any input is appriciated. Thanks Phil

I used to use amesoil but not anymore, I would loose it all when driving because of the smaller molecules. Didn't smoke or or leak, but it was still getting past the rings. Moble one seemed to work much better i'm sticking with that.

Sounds like MS is the best for the weekend warrior, as it can upgrade, the flexability, and cost. Will be doing upgrades on occasion and it can grow as I do. haha

They have it in a regular Galvanized Zinc for 33 bucks. Guess that should work just fine. Doesn't the 280z have a sump in it?

Well the plan was going with the megasquirt setup, but I am tempted by a used SDS setup. What do yall suggest, i'm a computer geek so i'm not afraid of most setup, just wanted to see how others felt on different brands, etc. Thanks Phil
