So Suzuki just made your variable valve timing much simpler. No hydraulics or electronics. Im sure a man of your skills can adapt this in just a few min. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/january/secrets-of-suzukis-vvt/

I agree with texis300. The lights on the rear of the Z are great. And if I'm honest, even if the lights on the back of the Z did need work, that is a bad attempt and is pretty ugly. Your car obviously but it looks like a huge grill on the front of a car and doesnt work well in the rear.

If you marked your timing gear and the timing chain like I see you did and the chain didn't move on the crankshaft. Assuming the timing was correct when you took it off, the paint marks have to line up. If they don't you have something wrong or your timing chain slipped which is unlikely if you have it wedged.

You are correct. They are on the right side of the transmission. You will have to go under the car.

I'm glad you got it sold. I really wasn't trying to be a dick. I'm sorry if it came across that way. I just hate seeing people throw parts away because they don't get what the deem they are worth. Something is better than nothing is how I see it i guess. I like the stickers. I would buy some if I had seen them 6 years ago when My 260z was my DD

I probably have one. Ill look tonight

I have a e88 and 2 p90's message me if interested

Also the reason you cant post in the classifieds is because you have to be a donating member to do so. Donate 20 bucks and you can sell all you want. Pretty sure most car guys dont look on facebook to find car parts. Have you tried craigslist to sell it?

So scrapping it is better than taking an offer that you don't deem "reasonable"? Honestly 1500 is pretty steep for what your selling. You can normally get a whole car for that amount. Realize this stuff is getting harder to find and be nice to someone and give it to them rather than trash it. Its Christmas after all.. I have enjoyed watching your progress and cant wait to see it done.

So when are the cams and the header going to be done?

Been there, Done that, Got the T-shirt. Stick with a stock head gasket. You will be grateful the first time your new and not perfectly tuned turbo setup detonates and pops a head gasket and not a ring land. BTW I have a few broken pistons from exactly this if you need pictorial proof.

Just watched this on Amazon prime. Great movie and there is alot of really cool old Datsuns in it. I hadn't heard of it and thought I would let people know about it. Here is the trailer <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4Szj0gCkFuk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You still looking for a head? I have a p90 with a burnt valve seat in cylinder one. Send me a pm if your interested.

Did you have the flywheel balanced with the pressure plate? My L-series became way smoother once I did that. Not saying that is it but if your engine was fine and then you had your flywheel resurfaced and the vibration showed up. That is where I would start looking.

I did mine a few months ago and used my motorcycle crankshaft puller that I use to install crankshafts into engines. Doesn't work perfectly as the tube doesn't seat perfectly against the control arm and I had to use some square steel stock to space it away and rest on the tube of the control arm squarely. Just thought I would let people know that this tool does work and is available as there isn't a specific tool readily available. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/989/17166/Tusk-Crank-Puller-Installer-Tool

Like I said.. Going off of memory that is 6-7 years old lol. But I did have the problem of having to rev it to 3k. I wonder what I did to fix that or if I ever did. Guess I will find out once i finish my motor swap.

Mine had the same problem if i remember right. The reason was that the sensing wire was not telling the alt. that it needed charging. I think i had to wire a LED in parallel and that made it work correctly. Im going completely off of memory on something I did 7-8 years ago so keep that in mind.

Got a picture??

If your talking about the felt that is U shaped that fits in the window frame it is still available through MSA or Blackdragon.

I might have one. Let me look. I received one in a parts lot I bought a few months ago but I'm not sure what it came off of but it at least has the induction tubes. Do you have a picture what it should look like?

Just had a strange thought. Did you install the distributor? I once had a friend help me in stall my engine and he installed my distributor 180 deg off. It bolted up fine and was close enough to run but not well and wouldn't rev. Flipped it back and it ran perfect. The rotor still pointed in the correct position but the contact for each cylinders where not in the right spot. This was on a turbo distributor. Not sure what you have.

Aren't those the billows that go with bilisteins? They look like mine

Man your still at 160lbs. The past 10 years haven't been as good to me. Well actually the past 5 months haven't been good to me. I've gained 20 lbs in the past few months. I went from the best shape in my life last summer to the worst shape this summer. Ahhh life. Always thwarting my progression. And the head is looking amazing. If I ever make it down to Florida for a vacation I will have to stop by and visit. If only my company didn't use a distributor in Florida I could schedule a business trip to visit a dealer or two.

I have one that worked when I removed it years ago to install MS. I think its all there but I didnt run all sensors so im not sure if the connectors are there. Ill check tonight. And I'm in kansas. Where do you live?
