Hmm then why isn't it working... I'll try. Different sensor I guess

I am repairing a v3.0 ms1 that has the solder pads 5 and 6 pulled out of the pcb. I have the whole board working except for the fact that I have no map signal. When I look at the diagram for the v3.0. It shows pins 1,2,and 3 going places. It doesn't show pins 4,5,6 going anywhere and says nc. Which I'm assuming means no current or no connection. But obviously they must go somewhere. I need to know where to jumper pins 5 and 6 to. I'm very capable of doing it I just need some direction. Any help would be appreciated.

Normally I think its rather ridiculous when someone answers a question from a post that is many years old. Not this time. I actually just started working on getting my car back on the road this weekend and this is one thing i was wanting to get resolved as i still had a slight vibration. I clocked the left one at 60deg and it helped. Now i need to do the other one. Thank you for finally providing a definitive answer.

There was a guy that used the Rota RB's in the 17x9 wheel with 245 or 255's all the way around. I think he posted pictures in the Rota group buy way back in the day. He had to roll the fender lips and stretch the fender a bit but they fit.

My "one trip" statement is based on that was the only trip I took on that setup going on roads where I wasn't going 80-85 mph. The same setup went 12.8 at 110mph in the quarter mile so I'm pretty sure it was running well. Quick question. You state you have the hose off on your FPR. Does the z31 not use a vacuum/boost source to raise/lower the fuel pressure in accordance with pressure?

Ive gotten 29mpg on one trip when i was only driving 70mph. Same trans and diff as you. Much bigger turbo(he351cw) and bigger injectors with supporting mods. Im running MS1extra though. I did get like 5mpg once with all in town "spirited" driving. Had to hear the BOV every time i shifted. lol. It could be a odometer that is off. You could have the wrong color speedo gear on the sender.

Looks good Derek. How did your epoxied repair patches last. Any issues?

Id check out Ram Mounts. They have a ton of products for just this. www.rammounts.com. They arent going to make anything specific but I bet you could get a base to mount somewhere and then get the right arms to get it to where you want.

There is one in Airplanes, Fire and rescue. You see the rear end of it at least. I scared my wife and daughter when I screamed "DATSUN"!! I think its in the bar scene and its in the background.

Does the steel one actually flex? While the steel mustache bar is spring steel and does flex front to back a bit i dont think its going to move up and down down any. Flexing a flat piece of steel width ways isn't the easiest.

When I first read this I thought you where talking about painting my car... If I could take a dump and paint a car at the same time I would have to say I was one talented man. And back on topic.... GO!!!

Crap so that means I painted mine in 08? So 7 years ago? Man I am getting old. Well I did throw my back out last month...

Didnt you just paint it a few years ago?

DId you bore out the waste gate hole? Been 7-8 years but i remember that i had mine bored out till the flapper just covered it. I think my pinky would barely fit into it stock hole and it was bored out to around 1/2 or 3/4

You already have one...Just flip it over.

Austin Hoke makes a relocation kit for 350z transmission. It shortens it by 4.25".

Yes those are round tops. Someone probably swapped them at some time in the past 42 years.

That is amazing. I would rock that all day long. Not sure the wife would let me strap a car seat in the back though... Kinda reminds me of the bad guy in Cars 2. If you dont mind telling how much did something like that cost once it was imported?

Man I wish I still lived in Florida. I would love to see this thing in person. Great work Derek. Keep it up.

I prepped mine used de-greaser. metal etching primer and then satin rustoleum in a spray can. Looked good but it chipped easily. Go for something better.

lol 6 year old thread 1miata.

That is awesome.

Derek. I have been out of the Z world for a few years now and last time I saw what you where doing it was finishing up your ITB's I come back on the board and i find this. Ive just wasted my lunch hour plus 30 min reading this thread(well wasted is not the right term) and I'm amazed. Im amazed at what your doing. Keep it up. Ill be around to keep tabs on this.

GABE!!!!! Awesome to see you getting your Z going again. I just got a new job about a month ago and I've been getting the urg to get my z out and start working on her again. I actually started to wet sand my hood. Yes i painted my car what 7 years ago but better late than never. DId you ever get your lsd installed? I can make some spacers now if you still need them. I dont have them on mine but i have access to a lathe so i thought i would just for fun. Talk to you later man. Glad your back at it. Maybe someday we will be able to get together again.

Rick... Ive joined you in the "throw it under a dust cover because it pisses me off" phase of my datsun days. How ya been? made any progress lately?
