  1. I love this, I'll have to see if I have time to draw something up!
  2. No way, you're making me jealous, Takashi!
  3. Properly-working vacuum advance is always beneficial to performance. Many times it's left off because there are no provisions for it and/or the distributor has too much vacuum advance, as some ZX distributors may. What is the model number of your 45DCOEs? It will likely be either a 9 or 152. The good news is that the 45DCOE152s actually DO have provisions for ported vacuum! I was very surprised to see them when I got my 152s. You can gang up a few ports and have a decent signal. The possible not so good news is, as I mentioned earlier, that your particular ZX distributor may have too much vac advance for a non-EGR engine. You'll have to let us know the distributor part number off the body to be sure. It'll look something like "D6K8-xx" or a permutation thereof. Otherwise, running manifold vacuum for advance will give you a lot of static timing, likely more than your engine wants. It can probably be made to work though if you really want to. As someone else mentioned up top, check out 123ignition. They're programmable distributor is a fantastic solution (or so I hope)!
  4. Interesting, any idea of whether they are compatible with DP Racing bolt-in camber plates? I've been on the lookout for shocks to replace the old HPs since they need to be modified to fit DP's spherical bearings. Modifying used Tokicos doesn't make sense to me, especially considering that I don't really like the way they're valved. This is for a street/autoX 260Z on some sort of old-school coilovers and seemingly unsectioned struts. I know this is probably a better question for Stagg but thought I'd throw it out there.
  5. Nigel, an HBZ member, has developed his own rear brake kit. The price is great and performance should be excellent, I think his thread is in the Vendors section.
  6. Awesome, looking forward to it! Thank you Nigel!
  7. Same here, glad you put so much work into this conversion!
  8. The thing is, it's better for NA applications as well because of the load-sensing ability that MSD doesn't have without the additional MAP sensor. Plus, there's something to be said (and already has been) about getting a brand-new distributor over a 30-year-old unit.
  9. I plan to get one soon as well...
  10. An old Nissan distributor with MSD is not nearly in the same league as 123. Fully-programmable is just that, you can create a 3D ignition map based on RPM, MAP, and spark advance. The MSD only allows a 2D map based on RPM and advance, plus it utilizes a used distributor with a bushing that has seen 30+ years of wear...
  11. You're breaking forum rules. You must be a donating member to post parts for sale...
  12. Looking good Glenn! FWIW, I've driven a '95 911 Turbo S pretty hard and was not overly impressed...
  13. Do what is easiest within your budget and gets the car back on the road without more delay. Parts can be changed later, a project in stages is more fun for me anyway then doing a million things in one fell swoop.
  14. He's too lazy to remove a few dowels but wants to straighten the cam towers with different thickness shims? I don't get it...
