hey matt yeah i am. i figured out what it was though with the help of rick bowers or speeder on here. i followed the directions on how to make the relay cable on the mega manual page and it says to leave out pin 36. well with the new 3.0 board pin 36 is ign output for the direct coil driver. and then on the new relay board pin36 goes to pin 11 i think for the negative side of the coil. and well no matter how hard it tries to send the signal i dont think its going to go anywhere with out a wire solderd in so i put one in and it fired right up. dang im excited lol thanks. P.S matt if you read this do you know who to contact so we can get the information changed on the megamanual.com page so it is updated???

ok to get my info out of the way i have a 260z with an82 l28et swap into it. and im installing msns+extra v3.0 along with the relay board well its installed and every thing seems to work but i have no spark. so i have a few questions that hopefully you guys can help me sort through. 1st. I followed the diyautotune.com's install artical on there web site. and i used this diagram to wire up my relay board now that i think about it i actually installed it like this to me that does the same thing its just at a different place on the line which shouldnt make a difference if im thinking right but im just checking everything so thought i would ask. 2nd. my next question is what is the proper wiring coming off of the ignition coil? i have mine set up just like ti shows on the above diagram the + side gets power from the fuel pump with a 10amp fuse installed. and the negative post is hooked to pin 11 on the junction box on the relayboard. and thats all i have hooked up to my coil. should i have a condensor or something wired in there somewhere?? Well those are the only 2 things i can think of that arent exactly how they say to do it. or i can think that might be off. well any input would be appriciated. thanks Jeff

man wish you would of posted this 2 weeks ago. i was in newton for the holidays i grew up in newton and was always in wichita of course. i would of loved to come see your collection. im actually thinking of moving back. its good to know i wouldnt be the only Z around

you using firefox?? i do and it didnt make sense. opened microsoft IE and it was ok. or just call him he is a good guy to deal with, at least my dad says so

you need to lower it also looks high to me. and get some pics that arent blurry

8. You'll find that a 20 or 30 minute track session takes a lot more concentration and focus then you ever realized. If you're feeling tired or ill, don't think you have to run the last sesison of the day. Its better to end the day on a good note then go out and make a bad mistake becuase you're tired and lost focus. never done a car track day but have on sport bikes and raced motorcross for years. the worst accidents seem to happen when you take "just one more lap or session" its the end of the day your tired and you just want to go do one more lap to finish your day off... you go out and your not really into it and you miss a turn or over/under shoot a jump (motorcross only i guess) and the next thing you know you are in the hospital. trust me i know from experience. i think it took me 2 trips in the ambulance before i got that point pounded into my head. So if your tired or not really feeling it. dont go out. there is no reason to risk your pride and joy(your car) and yourself, and not to mention other peoples lives and there cars.

didnt Jeffp used to work for them??

hey derek look around i think zedd findings has them and if i remember they are cheaper else where also

ya what would cause the cats to blow apart like that??

i think im going to see how hard it would be to return it. but i also think im going to install the lights too at a later date. i did find them for a good price on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-AUTOLOC-TRI-BAR-STREET-ROD-HEADLIGHTS-w-TURN-SIGNAL_W0QQitemZ310011941765QQihZ021QQcategoryZ33710QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

the thing is i kinda like the idea of taking the turn signals out. didnt somone on this board do his that way??

ok for christmas my friends got together and ordered me a xenon urethan air dam off of ebay. the only problem is they ordered the one for the late260/280z and i have an early Z. my question is... should i just stick with this air dam and rig up some custom turn signals/running lights. maybe with something like this. that have the "city lights" in them and then use those for my turn signals.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/75-82-DATSUN-240-260-280Z-DIAMOND-CUT-HEADLIGHTS-H4-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ020QQitemZ300187011448QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW or should i hassle with returning the air damn and getting the early one that is actually for my year which is an early 260z the one i need http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Xenon-Body-Kit-240Z-260Z-280Z-Front-Air-Dam-Brake-Ducts_W0QQitemZ150144559276QQihZ005QQcategoryZ38658QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m118 he one im getting http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Xenon-Body-Kit-240Z-260Z-280Z-Front-Air-Dam-Brake-Ducts_W0QQitemZ150144558137QQihZ005QQcategoryZ38658QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m118

ok how do i change that? or find out what is on my ecu??

but i have it set for the MS1 original BG code and isnt that what the 68HC908 processor comes flashed with??? and it also does it even if i dont have the board connected to the serial cable... make sense??

ok im getting an error message when i start megatune after i select which code to use which at the moment is just ms1 no msns yet(just assembled it) and then this error message comes up before it opens. any body have any ideas??? also it comes up regardless to weather or not i have my ms connected through the serial cable with the stim on or not

i thought that the cas plug was the same for the 81 to the 82-83 dizzy??

hey austin where did your gf get those dvd's and the book???

i say get another one... and keep the current also. 2 Z's is always better than one right?? i mean take out the j in 2jz and what do you have??? 2 Z's i think its meant to be!!!!

i got MS1 V3.0 unassembled kit, unassembled stim board. assembled relay board, diyautotunes engine harnes, GM open iat sensor with pigtail. and a LC-1 wide band meter. and i also got a set o door handle cover things that go inside the handle and are plastic. i cant complain thats all i know. i allready have the stim board assembled and im going to go get started on the main board here in a min.

merry christmas eery one!!!! just got done opening some presents and i just got MEGASQUIRT!!!!!!

do you have anything to back this statement up other than obx is junk???

going through daytona??

yeah i have the starion one and while it works im going to upgrade... wanna buy mine??? lol

ive done the same thing. i actually got mine bent decently correctly but then when i went to take them off to paint my car they just got all bent to hell. so do your self a favor and just buy the squeegee part and just get some weather strip adhesive and just glue them on. mine have been on that way for a good 4 months and are fine.

ive been curious about this also. is the 280zx power steering pump up to the task of running the Subaru power steering rack??? if so then i need to look for a Subaru rack..
