    Anyone running a Taurus 3.8L fan on their L6

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    I'm not running one yet, but I've had one laying around that was going to go in a rock crawling Xj. Couldn't get it fit in the xj. I put it up against the Z rad last night and it looks VERY promising. The shroud almost covers the entire rad. I don't know about the water pump clearance yet at the engine bay is stripped.

     

    Planning to have MS control the fan or a thermal switch?

     

    Later,

    Hi Adam

    I'm going to have megasquirt run it.

    Hurry up and get it installed:)

    It's all skinable in RR - give him time.

    Derek, you ever come up to south GA? I'd love to come down this actober, but I live off of exit one in saint marys, and don't trust the Z right now for 4+ hours of driving in a day.

     

     

    Gainseville is about as far north as I've been making it lately!

    How is this necroposting? It's a tech question and it's still valid; assuming no more recent post discussed this McMaster part. Now if it was a "for sale" thread or info about an event that passed, that would be another matter.

     

    I didn't say it was I only said it shouldn't be!

     

    It seemed like there was a string of posts getting tossed to the shed.

    EDIS mounting parts available

    Since you have to remove your timing plate to mount the sensor I made up blank indicator plates to mount on the left side. $15.00 if you buy a kit.

    They're a real pain to make and there's a bit of hand (hammer) work in them so they're not show quality.

    Do you have a good parts stash at your place? i need a couple little things

     

    Thanks,

    Adam

     

    I wish! I ended up buying all kinds of little stuff on ebay.

     

     

    wish i trusted my Z for 4 hours of driving - live in south GA, basically 15-20 min north of jax. Love to see a Z with rr. You said you were using IGuidance? is it worth the money?

     

    Iguidance works ok but I'm not thrilled with it. I chose it because it plays nice with road runner. I've only used it a couple of times and that may be the problem!.

    I'm new to the Z world as I just purchased a 78 black pearl. Needs some rust fixed and a motor since the original dropped a valve on #5.

     

    Planning on a 83 28et swap with EDIS and MS....

     

    Good news is that I'm only 45mins away up in Gainesville! Perhaps I just found a new buddy ! :mrgreen:

     

    Ur project looks sweet btw. love the touch screen. Makes the MS touch screen obsolete !

    Hi Adam

    Welcome aboard.

    There is a Z car club in Gainesville. We meet every month (usually) at either Blue Highway pizza or at Bill Coffey's garage. Check out this post

    This is a great time.

    That is a great deal. I wish it was available when I did mine. Can you post an installation photos or instructions? It might help some people visualize it on the car.

     

     

    Thanks.

    I'm working on a PDF install sheet as we speak.

    I'll update with some install pics soon.

    Well I think I finally worked out all the differences in the dampers and have settled on making the adapters fit two groove damper from the AC equipped 75 through 78 280. This is the damper

    The outer groove takes the same size belt as the inner groove.

     

     

    This is not the right damper

    I have 6 assemblies available.

    This is an assembly

    DSC_0001.jpg

     

    It includes a longer crank bolt and the bolts to attach the sensor mounts.

     

    The price is $175.00 plus shipping.

     

     

    I also have 2 ford coil brackets that are available for $35.00 each. You have to buy an assembly to buy the bracket. I'm not offering them separately right now.

     

    I'm only shipping to the US as I have to drive the stuff to the post office and stand in line to ship anywhere else. Sorry.

     

    I had to bump the price a little but it's still a pretty good deal to get EDIS on your car quickly.

     

    Thanks

    Before this gets sent to the tool shed for necroposting can't you just delete his (and mine for the matter) post. If it's sent to the tool shed then it closes the post.

     

    This never mattered to me before but that mcmaster part number is exactly the vent I was looking for for my fuel system.

     

    Just a thought

    a 280z dash works better :D

     

    i'm not sure if i'm going to bother going back to the car pc now that iphone's exist!

     

    Looks good! The wider opening make life easier. I don't think I could getaway with ne center vent though!

    What front end are you running?

     

    Megasquirt, navigation and the lack of running more than one app at a time on the iphone keeps me using the carputer. But I really wish the iphone did all that!

    That is VERY cool! If you were going to make and sell the adaptors to go from the stock to a BMW 5 series two input thing, I'd be all over that if it didn't cost too much! I was thinking of doing something similar with the vents but couldn't figure out an easy way to make up an adaptor......

    Hi Greg

    No plans to make the adapters. I'll certainly release the 3D model if you know anyone that can machine it for you.

    I still hate you

     

     

    Thank you for hating me. I feel warm all over!

     

     

    What is the software package you are using for that home screen? Is that something you custom wrote or something you found and modified?

    It's called "Ride Runner" formally known as "Road Runner" until Warner bros came down on him!

     

    Or so the story goes.
