  1. go for it!!!!...i don`t see why it wouldn`t work...let us know how it turned out.
  2. Try going to your local hardware store(true value)and check out the Flared Fittings(don`t forget your drain plug for referance)they work great for fuel applications.SUPER SUPER easy to plum also.If you have a double flaring tool you just have to widen the line to fit the cone and as you tighten the fitting it will seal it self with the cone.these fittings i THINK are for propane applications but isn`t that what being a hybrid is all about taking something and using it to your advantage!!! Also they are a lot cheaper then AN fittings and do the same thing!!! They even look alike!!!!
  3. Why not put a elbow fitting in the drain plug hole? I had one in my nova with 1/2 line. I haven`t done it to my 240 yet but plan to when i upgrade....Mark
  4. I found this site www.mpmotorsports.net they have a wide selection of scoops. Prices are a little high but if it matches the quality (it looks like it might)then it would be reasonable.
  5. my only exp.has been with the wheel side but ive found it works best with a 14mm and 9/16 wrenches..use the box end of the 9/16 on the ujoint side and the open end of the 14mm on the wheel side and squeeze with one hand or try to keep as close together as possable. if two tight interlock the 9/16 with another wrench.hope this makes sense and good luck. ...mark
  6. Yea I got a good look at a phantom grip and could see more harm than good.For one thing it`s not reconmended for over 375hp (they said nothing about tourqe) also when it wears away (and it will)all the metal will go right to the gears.At least in my case datsun rears aren`t falling from trees.If anything i`ll wait for powertrax to come out with a unit.Just my humble 2 cents....mark
  7. anyone in delawere? im in the wilmington/newcastle area.........mark
  8. sorry it`s a work thing
  9. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. I RAN A SEARCH ON PHANTOM GRIP AND IM CONFUSED.MAYBE IT`S BECAULSE IT`S 6 AM ON A SUNDAY AND IM AT WORK.ANY WAY MY QUESTIONS. IS IT LIKE A POWERTRAX UNIT MEANING IT INSTALLS IN YOUR EXISTING OPEN DIFF? IM ASSUMING FROM THE SEARCH OUR REARS ARE THE SAME AS THE 200SX REARS?(MY R200 REARS ARE FROM A 280Z AND A 280ZX FROM A TWO SEATER J CODE NOT SURE THE YEAR) DO YOU THINK IT WILL HOLD UP TO DRAG RACING? ALSO WOULD I STILL BE ABLE TO GET IT FROM HYBRIDZ MEMBERS AT A CASH DISCOUNT? THANKS FOR THE HELP I LOOKED INTO POWERTRAX LAST WEEK AND WAS SUPRISED THEY DIDN`T MAKE A UNIT FOR IT BUT THEY HAVE A UNIT FOR TOYOTA GO FIGURE.MARK
  10. IM CHANGING MY R180 OVER TO AN R200 AND ON THE R200`S FRONT CROSSMEMBER THERE`S A PLATE WITH WEIGHTS THAT ARE POSITIONED UNDER THE DIFF. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF THEY WERE MOUNTED TO THE DIFF MOUNT FOR COUNTERBALANCE BUT I JUST DON`T SEE THE PURPOSE OF THEM. DOES ANYONE REUSE THEM? IM GOING TO USE THE ORIG.240Z CROSSMEMBER BECAULSE IT LOOKS STRONGER AND HAS THE BOLT HOLES ALREADY THERE FOR THE MOUNT BRACE. SO IM JUST WONDERING THANKS...MARK

    trans info needed..

    MY 94 S-10 HAS THE 4L60E TRANSMISSION AND THE 93 HAS THE SAME.IT SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM HOLDING UP TO A MILD 350....THE 4L60E IS LIKE A TURBO 350 WITH OVERDRIVE AND THE 4L80E IS LIKE A TURBO 400...IN ORDER TO USE THE 4L60E TRANS YOU`LL HAVE TO GET SOME TYPE OF MODULE FOR IT TO RUN IN NON COMPUTER CARS. PLACES LIKE JET AND HYPERTECH HAVE THEM.THE TRANS IS A BIG THING WITH THE STREETROD SET..MARK
  12. hey thanks guys! conneting the wires together is what i thought i should do.wanted a second opinion for ease of mind!!! also thank for the info on the volt meter...........mark
  13. hi all i have a question about guages.i want to replace the anameter guage in my 240 with a volt guage out of a 260.can i just connect the anameter wires or is there something else i have to do? i would hate to start a fire after all the work i did to the motor and frame. also if anyone is interested i bought a set of autometer guages that fit inside the bezle and cup making instalation in the dash a snap and the style looks factory. thanks for the input.
  14. Im in the prosses of getting my drive shaft made and as i was looking through catolog for the neapco driveshaft adapter i saw quite a few adapters...so looking back at this i wondered has any one tried to adapt halfshafts to chevy u joints? the countersink ring is 1-3/4. im searching for alteretives since z`s are hard to find in my part of the woods.although i was able to find two r200`s out of state.thanks for the input.
  15. im in the prosses of building a 73 240z with a 400sb with the intent of some serious drag time.my question is what is the reaction of the car when a halfshaft u joint goes? does it damage the suspention, force the car left or right or just roll to a stop (open diff)? ive never raced a independant car before and would like to know what im in for. thank you for your imput im a new member and this site has been a huge help.
