Yeah. Let us know how you enjoy your Supra.

For water temp you are going to have to tell us the year and make of your Z. The early Z's use a really odd sensor. Oil pressure is actually 1/8 - 28 British pipe thread. Note this is not NPT, but BSP. The two are actually close enough that you can thread one into the other. But to do it right here is an adapter kit that has the proper adapters http://www.autobarn.net/eqoilpreselt.html Sunpro sells a similar adapter kit.

That thing went for a steal of a price. Wierd all the cancled bids. somthing isn't right.

I use to put my girlfriends sister in the back of my Z.... When I was in the service I use to sit in the back of my buddies mid 70 280. I would sit with my head up between the two front seat passengers. That was 80 pounds ago. When I look at my 240 now I can't figure out how that would have been possible.

Well, that would explain why I didn't find them on MSA. I am pretty sure they were the ones who listed them just a few months ago.

Good question. I have the exact same guage that I have yet to replace in my 240. For some reason I thought the fuel guages were compatible, but now that i think about it I am not sure how I know that. If someone doesn't know off the top of their head, then I am pretty sure the factory manuals give the resistance range of the guages for each year.

I thought MSA (http://www.zcarparts.com) was carrying those. I remember reading ads saying Nissan had made a bunch of those up when they did the factory resto of old Z's If they don't have them, try http://www.zparts.com, http://www.zbarn.com Black Dragon Auto or http://www.baddogparts.com

If you call your local Kinkos they will give you an email address. Then all you have to do is email them the link and tell them to pint out an 18 color copy. They can probably even laminate it for you. Only thing left after that is to pick it up and pay them for it.

You could never adequately secure it. Plus I would be worried about how close to the glass the baby's head would be. The big worry would be the potential ticket you could get should you get pulled over. The safety nazi's go relly overboard when it comes to baby seats.

Googled B&M, got to their web site. Looks alot like a B&M 4503 shifter http://www.bmracing.com/index.php?id=products&sid=4&cat=3&subcat=15&pid=334 Summit carries them. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BMM%2D45043&N=700+400004+4294822078+115&autoview=sku The internet rules. Looks like you could fabricate your own shift lever

How well do Supra's do in this type of racing? Why do you feel the Supra suspension is superior to what can be done with a Z suspension?

Are you going to charge something less than the $500 flipping dollars or whatever it is those other fitted brake line places charge for complete Z pre bent brake line sets? Also you will need to provide new rubber isolators everywhere. The ones on my old Z crumbled.

I don't know about pure copper tubing, but the 90-10 cuprious nickle line is suppose to be the ideal brake line material. I think it is what the OEM stuff is.

I googled Caddy 500 and saw a good write up on Wikipedia. Unless I don't know how to read, they haven't made those engines since the Bee Gees were the hottest thing in music. Might be an interesting one off engine, but just how many of those motors do you guys come across anymore? Staying alive. Staying alive.

I went to m1noel's car domain site and saw this pic

Technically you are suppose to claim any and all income you make selling stuff on ebay. Even the occasional used pair of boots should be claimed. But, if you claim it as income, then you are also allowed to deduct the cost of depreciation. That is why the IRS doesn't care about not reporting casual sales. If you clean out the garage and sell a bunch of used items, by IRS standards you will be losing money cause you selling everything for less than you paid for it. But if you buy a wrecked car and sell the parts for more than you paid, including selling expenses, then you have just made taxable income that you are required to report.

Why not just drive a Supra? What advantage is there to grafting a Z shell onto a Supra?

The Q45 mount is a completely different animal from the RT mount. The problem isn't going to be finding someone to build them. The problem is what design should be built. A member named Qwick240Z had posted his Q45 front mount and offered to have several made up, but got totally flamed for his efforts. I don't think there is one definitive design for the Q45 mount. Seems like everyone has their own way of doing it.

This thread has the GM part numbers for the F body sump and pick up stuff http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=118395&highlight=pan This stuff is pretty hard to find in junk yards. Ebay, LS1TECH.com or GM direct are your best bets for sourcing the correct parts. Boy, it would be nice if this thread could contain a complete list of to do items for the GTO swap. Even better if it contained definitive part numbers.

Yeah, they have a good bit of my money. Top notch place. I will probably be placing another order with them next week.

Looks good. If you guys read back through olds posts most guys say the part does fit exactly. Some guys have rolled these things out 10 at a time, and others built them from the blueprints without a single trial fit. They all fit so this should work fine. A weld up kit really makes no sense, because if a person can weld they can easily make there own from scratch. The only caveat is this design won't fit on the early early Z's with the pushed forward diffs. Would be a simple matter of some grinding and redrilling the body bolt holes to make this one work. How thick is that steel?

8.5:1 Compression? Sounds like a forced induction candidate. Put a blower on that beast.

Just strip a factory EFI unit off a truck.

That guy at JCI has had a reputation for being a prick for along time. But I don't know about the overpriced part. There is something huge to be said for getting the job done and not having to re-engineer engine location when doing your swap. You are not paying for the stuff by the pound. You are paying for all the time it will save you in getting the job done right the first time. There are some excellent pics in this thread.
