so anyone willing to sell a setup?

One more dumb thing. Is detination(ping) related to load? Hypethetically you have a motor with a disconeted ignition advance and your motor is on the edge of pinging. Will an increase in load cause it to ping?

Wouldn't the combination of a high spinning turbo and the quick shutting of the throttle on a draw through setup make a spike in vacum in the intake and a spike in pressure in the manifold. I thought it was these spikes in pressure that destroy turbo's. Wouldn't it still need a BOV or atleast BOV in reverse between the carb and turbo to limit vacum or maybe both? dumb question I know.

Yes I figured it out but don't ask me how. That was months ago. But If you are still having problems I can help if you pm me. I'm nothing too special with electronics but I managed all the info is out there but sorting it out and finding it is difficult.

I noticed the pump/rack clearance problem. The exhaust/footwell doesn't seem to be a problem with my aftermarket headers. And I guess I should get a good balancer so I need to make room for that. Any pics on the rack fix? I got everything off the motor and trans. Tomorrow they're coming out seperatly but then again I don't want to damage the input shaft, so maybe I should take it out in one piece. Though the trans seems light enough for me to take out by my self. Is it wise to bench press a 5-speed out or will I damage the input shaft? I've benched heavy as heck automatics but those have torque converters that you unbolt first and bolt on last. Thanks.

Thanks Rontyler for the link. I did not know about all the interference problems. I will have to do more research on how to solve those problems but in the meanwhile I'll just get the motor out. Thank you dragon fly for the info but I just have one more question. Is it better to remove the transmission before removing the engine or not? I think I'll have to take off the trans to get the engine out but I just want a second opinion. Thanks.

I did not know that, what is the exact percentage front and rear? The thing is I'm going to pull the motor to do some cleaning on it and a few other things to it, and the chassis, while it's out. While I was at it I was going to push the motor back and have my drive shaft shortened. Also if someone would be so kind as to tell me what parts of the engine to hook the chains of my cherry picker to it would be helpful. Thanks.

Is it possible to push the engine back in a 260? I noticed enough room to set it back about 3 to 4 inches. Has anyone done this or thought about doing this?

mom'sz wrote: Roger at the Zbarn taught me how to identify the 5 speeds by looking at the tail shaft area. The early 5 speeds like those that came in a 280z have a steel collar around the end of the tail shaft (where the driveshaft comes out) The later 5 speeds like those that came in a 280ZX don't have the steel collar, that area is just plain cast aluminum. BTW he also told me the 79 ZX came with the earlier style and the later style wasn't available until 1980. I assume this is correct?

I bought my crap brown 74 260 with a 5 speed but with the 2.6 and I'm pretty sure the stock rearend. how do I know what type of 5 speed I have??? are there more than 2 types??? And please don't say go 140 and see how many rpm's you turn.

I thought of this a long time ago but I thought it was far fetched. Then I saw that it's been done by alot of people. I really want upper and lower control arms in the rear of my s30 but the s13's and s14's rears look like a birds nests. Since when did irs become so complicated? I think I counted 4 seperate bars connecting the hub to the frame on 4 seperate axises(or is plural axi). It seems like if you were to replace all the rubber bushings in the arms with steel ones it wouldn't move at all because it depends on the flexing and elasticity of the rubber bushings. That makes me think those rears have a lot of slop and are unpredictable. Is it a good swap and nissan knew what they were doing or is there another option I should look into?

Is there a simple distributor/map/ait instalation procedure?

Is it possible to run a small ic behind the driver side wheel in the wheel well? Would a electric fan mounted to it make it possible?

I think fwd is better for blind corners but I know datsun had a factory z rally car. you can find pics of it on the official nissan site.
