Well the 11`s seem to elude me at every turn. Last month`s T&T the fuelpump takes a dump..Launch out of the hole at 6 psi and cross the traps at 3 psi...result best of 12.2 @ 111
so install new fuelpump, 1/2" line, regulator...Bla,bla, bla...
Today`s T&T with everything the same tuning as the month before, result is the basicly the same 12.3 @111...Was babying it some becaulse I had to rig...er adjust the throttle cable to get full throttle that I thought for sure there would have been an improvment...oh well on to run #2.
Plugs alittle lean. Up the jetting from 78 to 80`s all around..re-set carb, timimg was off, bumped back up to 35 deg overall..felt strong real strong...11`s for sure or so I thought....
Time for run #2...ran my cousin in his mercery comet he tells me he going to heat the slick good this time!...So I got the brain storm to do the same after all can`t let a FORD show me up!!! So I smoked them a little longer than I usually do...The slicks didn`t feel as stable as they usually do but nothing out of the ordinary...Stalled it up and let`er rip!! ...felt good and strong... real strong, pinning me back and the front end pointing skyward. This has to be 11`s or so I thought...So slowing down I hear.. thud,thud,thud from the right rear and go to make my turn onto the return road Bang,bang jerk,jerk...12.4 @ 112....DOH
Well I think it`s a broken CV joint.. has anyone had any luck with after market cv joints for the 280zxt shafts and if so where did you get one.

It sounds like you will have one sick setup. I just have to ask why
Why???.....Becaulse it`s there
No acually a friend at work has a 95 Eclipse that`s just sick!!! It pulls ever bit as hard as my datsun on LOW boost and if he was ever able to hook up it would be easy 11`s and the kicker is his motor is bone stock. At the time I drove it he have a front mount with a 16g turbo. Now he upgraded to the Big 16g turbo his top end is just Sick,sick,sick.. bone stock motor..Sick.And im burned out with the tradition hotrodding and want to learn something different and current. Which I might add is how this datsun kick got started
What kind of setup do you have for your rear end? I'm worried about whether mine will survive.Im running a r200 W/3.90 and 280zxt shafts. I also have a r200 W/3.56 that will prob. be better for the turbo setup.
I think the rear will be just fine. The way my car is setup, rear breakage won`t be an issue at the track. Because my best times were walking it out on drag radials and launching that way there`s no load on the rear. My best 60' is 1.7 with the majority being 1.8`s. I have slicks but haven`t been able to try them yet. I should also mention that stalling it up and hammering it out of the hole netted the same results even a little slower.

The turbos you selected sound like they will spool up right off idle. Your rear tires wont have a chance.
Hanns
Your right they will!!! 8) The thing will definetly be a tourqe monster. Although im only planning to run about 6 or 7 psi because of my 9.5 compression. Im also planning, though maybe not right off the bat using the matching intercoolers for the turbos. I have one just need to get another. Im not looking for huge power but more of an understanding of the system. The car already runs 12.2 @ 111 in the 1/4 with a basicly stock 400ci. It has 11`s in it easy with some more tuning but i`ll back that statment up next month when the track opens up!

Hanns, well long story short I wanted to use a real nice pair of 1.75 primary custom turbo headers I bought off ebay. I thought they would work, but when I was able to physicly match them with the car they turned out to be too wide and interfered with the strut towers. I was going to try and make an adapter until I found out how much header flanges were (I would have needed two sets). But even if I did make the adapters the tubes would have been too close to everything anyway.
So im going to do something like you did. I haven`t decided if im going to use 2.5 or 3" square tubing. Probably 3" Because I don`t have the same concerns as you did about the engine compartment paint.
Oh very nice car by the way I was very impressed!!!
Im using DSM Garret T25`s off of the 2nd gen Eclipse. Too start out with then upgrade from there. They flow 350CFM apeice =700CFM combined and according to a Grandnational site mathmatical formula I need 685Cfm for my 400sbc.

has anyone been able to remove a stuck r200 stub axle. I believe the snap ring is holding everything up.

I tried it a few years ago and it does work for normal driving but it hurts WOT performance so I took it out.

I thought about the JC type but they`ve been around forever and everyone complaines that they don`t seal well in the closed position. Also they only fit pipes up to 2 1/4". The Mccord cutout fits up to 2 1/2 and 3" and seals very well closed.

It`s on my SBC car. I have a 12"x 3"extention running off the bottom elbow of the S pipe. My exhaust is pretty restrictive it`s 2 1/2 into a single 2 1/2 into a 3" flowmaster. It gives me about 4 tenths in the 1/4
. It`s perfect for the track but not so perfect for the street, the fumes come right in the car at steady speeds . But when closed it`s quiet no leaking (they suggest using red silicone with the header gasket) and when open it`s loud unmuffled,obnxous,testosterone driven exhaust .Mark

I have one one my car and it works great! opens with a push of a button. custom made for your car and the price is very reasonable. comes in 2 1/2 or 3" I can`t believe the word isn`t out about these. It`s a nice unit.
Mark

do we have any?
Mark

if you were illegal wouldn`t you want to remain hidden from the goverment? then why obtain a drivers licence. as soon as they do the goverment will have tabs on who and where they are. why should they try to get one when they can drive without one. it`s just a stupid liberal political move that will haunt him long after he`s out of office. if he wants to stay in office he should sign an act making it manditory for everyone to learn and speak english.

Well took my truck thru the DMV today...rear brakes failed but anyway they gave me the paper on why it failed and the diagram had the exact 240z front and rear suspension! r180 , ujoints , lower A- arms, struts, mustache bar and all. Very Cool!!! at least the DMV got something right!
Mark
-
Unbolt the rear 2 bolts that hold the lower A arm bushing (leave the front section intact) and take out of holder. Then jack up the strut/drum assmb. until you have the most room outward... it will jack up like this ...)... Then install CV shaft.. This way gives you a good 2" extra to work with, you won`t even have to push in on the shaft, it just goes right in. After your done with the shaft just jack up on the inner controlarm by the bushing and it goes right back into place.
Mark
-
Im in the middle of changing over to CV shafts and neither of my r200`s have any C-Clips?? except the one i can`t get out!!!!
I don`t have any reason to think these rears were ever taken apart execpt the one side im having problems with ( broke a pry bar and a hardened chisle i was using as a pry bar!!). It has new bearings and the u joints have been replaced. I guess there was a problem with that shaft at one time.
Oh Well out with the 3.54 rear and in with the 3.90 one. Guess i`ll put it back with no c-clips after all it came from the factory like that.

Real Life Cybersex
Wellhung: Hello, Sweetheart. What do you look like?
Sweetheart: I am wearing a red silk blouse and a miniskirt and high heels. My measurements are 36-24-36. I work out every day. I'm toned and perfect. What do you look like?
Wellhung: I'm 6'3" and about 250 pounds. I wear glasses and I have on a pair of blue sweatpants I just bought at Walmart. I am also wearing a T-shirt with a few spots of barbecue sauce on it from dinner - it smells a little funny.
Sweetheart: I want you. Would you like to screw me?
Wellhung: OK.
Sweetheart: We're in my bedroom. There's soft music playing on the stereo and candles on my dresser and night table. I'm looking up into your eyes, smiling. My hand works its way down to your crotch and begins to fondle your huge, swelling bulge.
Wellhung: I'm gulping. I'm beginning to sweat.
Sweetheart: I'm pulling up your shirt and kissing your chest.
Wellhung: Now I'm unbuttoning your blouse. My hands are trembling.
Sweetheart: I'm moaning softly.
Wellhung: I'm taking hold of your blouse and sliding it off slowly.
Sweetheart: I'm throwing my head back in pleasure. The cool silk slides off my warm skin. I'm rubbing your bulge faster, pulling and rubbing.
Wellhung: My hand suddenly jerks spastically and I accidently rip a hole in your blouse. I'm sorry.
Sweetheart: That's OK, it wasn't really too expensive.
Wellhung: I'll pay for it.
Sweetheart: Don't worry about it. I'm wearing a lacy black bra. My soft breasts are rising and falling, rising and falling, as I breath harder and harder.
Wellhung: I'm fumbling with the clasp on your bra. I think it's stuck. Do you have any scissors?
Sweetheart: I take your hand and kiss it softly. I'm reaching back and undoing the clasp. The bra slides off my body. The air caresses my breasts. My nipples are erect for you.
Wellhung: How did you do that? I'm picking up the bra and inspecting the clasp.
Sweetheart: I'm arching my back. Oh baby. I just want to feel your tongue all over me.
Wellhung: I'm dropping the bra. Now I'm licking your, you know, breasts. They're neat!
Sweetheart: I'm running my fingers through your hair. Now I'm nibbling your ear.
Wellhung: I suddenly sneeze. Your breasts are covered with spit.
Sweetheart: What?
Wellhung: I'm so sorry. Really.
Sweetheart: I'm wiping your spit off my breasts with the remains of my blouse.
Wellhung: I'm taking the sopping wet blouse from you. I drop it with a *plop*.
Sweetheart: OK. I'm pulling your sweatpants down and rubbing your hard tool.
Wellhung: I'm screaming like a woman. Your hands are cold! Yeeee!
Sweetheart: I'm pulling up my miniskirt. Take off my panties.
Wellhung: I'm pulling off your panties. My tongue is going all over, in and out, nibbling on your ... umm ... wait a minute.
Sweetheart: What's the matter?
Wellhung: I've got a pubic hair caught in my throat. I'm choking.
Sweetheart: Are you OK?
Wellhung: I'm having a coughing fit. I'm turning all red.
Sweetheart: Can I help?
Wellhung: I'm running to the kitchen, choking wildly. I'm fumbling through the cabinets, looking for a cup. Where do you keep your cups?
Sweetheart: In the cabinet to the right of the sink.
Wellhung: I'm drinking a cup of water. There, that better.
Sweetheart: Come back to me, lover.
Wellhung: I'm washing the cup now.
Sweetheart: I'm on the bed, aching for you.
Wellhung: I'm drying the cup. Now I'm putting it back in the cabinet. And now I'm walking back to the bedroom. Wait, it's dark. I'm lost. Where's the bedroom.
Sweetheart: Last door on the left at the end of the hall.
Wellhung: I found it.
Sweetheart: I'm tuggin off your pants. I'm moaning. I want you so badly.
Wellhung: Me too.
Wellhung: Your pants are off. I kiss you passionately - our naked bodies pressing against each other.
Wellhung: Your face is pushing my glasses into my face. It hurts.
Sweetheart: Why don't you take off you glasses?
Wellhung: OK, but I can't see very well without them. I place the glasses on the night table.
Sweetheart: I'm bending over the bed. Give it to me, baby!
Wellhung: I have to pee. I'm fumbling my way blindly across the room and toward the bathroom.
Sweetheart: Hurry back, lover.
Wellhung: I find the bathroom. It's dark. I'm feeling around for the toilet. I lift the lid.
Sweetheart: I'm waiting eagerly for your return.
Wellhung: I'm done going. I'm feeling around for the flush handle, but I can't find it. Uh-oh!
Sweetheart: What's the matter now?
Wellhung: I've realized that I've peed into your laundry hamper. Sorry again. I'm walking back to the bedroom now, blindly feeling my way.
Sweetheart: Mmm, yes. Come on.
Wellhung: OK, now I'm going to put my ... you know ... thing ... in your ... you know ... woman's thing.
Sweetheart: Yes! Do it, baby! Do it!
Wellhung: I'm touching your smooth butt. It feels so nice. I kiss your neck. Umm, I'm having a little trouble here.
Sweetheart: I'm moving my ass back and forth, moaning. I can't stand it another second! Slide it in! Screw me now!
Wellhung: I'm flaccid.
Sweetheart: What?
Wellhung: I'm limp. I can't sustain an erection.
Sweetheart: I'm standing up and turning around, an incredulous look on my face.
Wellhung: I'm shrugging with a sad look on my face, my weiner all floppy. I'm going to get my glasses and see what's wrong.
Sweetheart: No, never mind. I'm getting dressed. I'm putting on my underwear. Now I'm putting on my wet, nasty blouse.
Wellhung: No wait! Now I'm squinting, trying to find the night table. I'm feeling along the dresser, knocking over cans of hair spray, picture frames and your candles.
Sweetheart: I'm buttoning my blouse. Now I'm putting on my shoes.
Wellhung: I've found my glasses. I'm putting them on. My God! One of your candles fell on the curtain. The curtain is on fire! I'm pointing at it, a shocked look on my face.
Sweetheart: Go to hell. I'm logging off, you loser!
Wellhung: Now the carpet is on fire! Oh noooo!

Im using an old 4sp shifter with my auto. I welded the 3 linkage arms into one unit and had to remove alot on bothends to get all the gears. works great but no lock out yet. since the arm still moves side to side i want to make a gated plate for it. briefly messed around with an idea for a plate but went on to somthing else instead. if i mounted it back a little more the concole would work( at the time wasn`t planning on using a concole) right now im using the oval boot and silver painted bezel w/ a 4" shifter handle and white shifter ball, looks and works great!!!

Hi All,
I`ve found a 83 2+2 r180 cv setup and I was wondering if I could use the shafts for my r200 240z? I know they are too long but can they be modified some how? ( In one post someone modified some 300zx shafts by turning around a offset part to make them shorter)
Do the r180 CV imputshaft spines differ from the r200 CV splines?
anyone make new CV shafts? OR does anyone want to sell thier extra shafts?
Thanks,
Mark

for my money i`d use a 8.5 gm rear over anything else. I think 12 bolts are very over rated seems they always blow out!!! while the 8.5 will take anything you can hand it!!!. Like mike c pointed out alot of cars are running good numbers with them. I only know chevy so I won`t comment on the fords rear but i do like the center section idea!
Other chevy myths that are proven wrong over time...
4 boltmain 350`s are stronger than 2 bolts....nope webs crack
turbo400`s are stronger than turbo350`s ....nope T350`s far stronger and less power to turn ...powerglides are just as strong also!!!
mark
afterthought...stay away from pontiac and buick 10 bolts 8.5 they are very weak don`t really understanbd why since both makes put out high tq/hp numbers...they have a differnt cover than the chevy.

take it apart there should be a set of contact points in there that might need cleaned....mine needed them cleaned but my gauge didnt work at all....mark

Hey John,SBZ
My best 60' is a 1.7 but mostly im in the 1.8`s....when the CV broke it was a 1.9
Your right John I do have Ross`s 280zxt conversion set up. I`ve thought about his 300z setup but my current one is only a year old so i`d like to get my money out of it, for right now anyway. Im hoping I could buy just a single CV joint (I haven`t checked it out yet but I believe it`s the outer one) rather than trying to find another shaft.
