  1. Guessing horsepower is quite pointless, do you have dynos near you? What turbo is on this thing? The car looks good, I like the 280ZXT vent.
  2. This is the reason why the driving age will be bumped up to 18 in the states. Man I must be getting old, that wasn't even funny to me...
  3. Cruised around with him in my Z31 and it sounded niiiiiiice.
  4. My buddy Zach threw a rod on startup this winter. He did it the hard way haha
  5. Have you checked the oil level? If you're burning/leaking oil you could definitely be low after 2 thousand miles.
  6. Bob, did you get a weight on the head [to compare it with the P79]? I was wondering how heavy it is, it looks BIG.
  7. I've been using a breaker bar, or if I'm feeling fancy, vice grips
  8. Phar and I were talking about Mini Cooper lights as well... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=144999&highlight=mini+cooper+headlights
  9. I was thinking that would be the problem ^ Glad to see [hear] that you got it idleing at least. Is the AFM just sitting on the fender? And is that the stock T3?
  10. Thanks Jeff. A buddy came over tonight and brought a spare Manual KA TB and it only had the resistor, and didn't have a switch at all. I was also looking at my Z31 wiring and the TPS had just the switch but there was a connector like the resistor connector on the KA24 TPS in the harness. Do you know why they have that?
  11. Roadster action!! [Good shot at the beginning and at 1:40]
  12. Thanks Mike, I'm a bit frustrated at this point. I got the ECU to communicate with my laptop with no error codes, but the TPS and Dizzy are not giving the board any signal. The TPS harness wires have 5 volts from Megasquirt, but when I put the multimeter on the TPS wires I got nothing. I also didn't get any response from the Dizzy and I din't get any spark, so I have to figure out how I wired that wrong as well. Other than that all that's left is calibrating the sensors and adjusting tables. I have loads to figure out and I'm growing tired of it already. :/ Hopefully taking a break from the car tonight will help morale. I'm having a friend come out Wednesday with me, he's an audio tech and hopefully we can figure out how to get this thing wired up properly. He also owns several S14s so he's got an extra KA24 TB and a WBO2.
  13. I believe my 240SX KA24DE TB's TPS is dead. I will test this further, but I have called the parts stores in case it is. I am trying to get MegaSquirt installed on my turbo swapped 78 so I need the sensor, not the switch. I would just rather buy a new TPS and have a warranty than find another Throttle Body. AZ had the automatic and manual S13 240sx's TPS as different part numbers, and different prices, but the picture was the same in the computer. I was wondering if the Autos only ran off of the Switch or what. Anyways, the price is different, from $26 for the Auto to $40 for the Manual. I don't care about price differences, I want to buy something that will work for sure. I also don't want to buy a Manual one if the Auto will work just fine. If this has been answered before, I apologize, but I looked through 6 pages of search results to no avail. Please inform!
  14. I had this problem on my N/A EFI when my TPS was not hooked up properly. You may want to check that. Also read up on the stock EFI, it may help you diagnose problems a little better if you know what is controlling Fuel and Spark.
  15. Glad to hear it's in good hands, and that Hagerty is taking care of the bill.
  16. Quick question - I stopped at Advanced Auto when I was out to lunch, they only had the BR7ES plugs showing up, so I bought them thinking I wrote it down wrong. I got back and found there is a BR7ES and a BPR7ES plug. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=77279&highlight=BPR7ES Is there a noticeable difference or should I take them back?
  17. These are crappy cell phone pics taken by my roommate So, the MSA pipe I had welded [Out of the car :/ ]with a 2.5" > 3" SS coupler hits my tranny mount. I am going to have to add a couple of inches of 2.5" pipe to clear it. I'm going to have to drive it with an open DP about 6 miles to the muffler shop I'm going to. Megasquirt is wired up, but my ECU has the 029y3 code and my MegaTune has 029y4 on it. I couldn't find the 029y3 .ini after searching for over an hour, so I am going to reflash the board with 029y4. Chris' and my laptop wouldn't reflash it, but Chris' roommate Dan's laptop worked on his, so I'm going to try that tomorrow. The TPS and Dizzy were not showing any data on the y4 code so either they are hooked up wrong or the code wouldn't read it properly [hopefully the later]. Hopefully after work tomorrow I can get Mikeatrpi's map [Thanks Mike!] uploaded and get the car to idle, then adjust it so I can make it to the muffler shop. Everything else is done besides covering the harness so hopefully it's just a matter of tuning.
  18. Or installing all 30 oil pan bolts and new gasket to turn around and see your oil sump/filter sitting in a box where you put it yesterday...
  19. It tells your ECU to shoot more fuel over 4000 RPM. Youre AFM stops reading at a certain RPM [because it is fully open] and TPS is one of the things the ECU uses to shoot fuel. Read the EFI Bible. It is somewhere here, just do a search.
  20. Noooo!!! I knew it had to have been somewhere. Thank you Thank you Thank You. Mods, please delete this thread asap
  21. Hello, I hate asking this - I will be searching until I find the answer, but figured maybe someone had done this before. I am wiring my 83 Turbo Dizzy up to a MS I V3.0 Extra Code. I cut the 4-Pin connector from the Dizzy to the wiring harness because I got rid of my 83 ZXT harness. The wires coming out of the Dizzy are Black, White, Red, and Green. All of the diagrams I have found on here and the FSM wiring diagrams label the wires Green Black, Green Yellow, Black White, and Black. I guess they changed the color of the wires from the dizzy to the harness. This is the last thing I need before I can finish the harness So, obviously Black on the dizzy will be the ground, but after that I'm lost. Can anyone help me out?
  22. I agree. I've never really liked the mismatched airmdam on a painted car. Any news on when it will be released?
