  1. I have a Crane XR3000 ignition box but no optic trigger pieces (3 wire) that would normally go in the distributor. Will a 2 wire magnetic reluctor that a 280Z uses, function as the trigger and what would the wiring be? Crane box has a gray, white, and black wire that would normally go to the optic. What is the function of each wire ?
  2. Anyone had experience or thoughts on swapping in a Kaaz LSD unit. (R200 long nose 280Z LS3 power)
  3. Something is missing in this picture? bolts through to what? another plate? what prevents movement or locking? https://groundcontrolstore.com/collections/s30/products/no-cut-camber-caster-plate-z-car-pair
  4. 240Z with sectioned struts and coilovers. My own design top strut mount with fixed castor and camber. Looking to change to adjustable. My initial thought was Kmac units, but they like Silvermine and other solid pillow mount would be harder, maybe impossible to adjust without enlarging the stock hole to access. Not willing to cut! This leads me to lower control arms that one can adjust while being on the rack. This is a summer street driver with occassional track events. Cost in mind T3 fronts and rears seem like a good option. Silvermine has similar using steel threaded into aluminum, which I'm not a fan of . Open to opinions and first had experience. Thanks
  5. I used a Sony radio from a 98 Honda Civic. Fits easily, has a CD, clock, Aux pin input on the face. see pic attached. Pick your speakers according to expectation! Stock location at back side panels and under front seats.
  6. Is a 16 x 8" zero offset rim with a 225/50 x 16" tire a no problem fit on the 81 ZX
  7. My experence with an MSA header and wrap> don't. I burned one through in less than 2 years. They are made of a very thin metal. I fabricated a SS heat shield and have run a new MSA 6-2-1 for the last 13 yrs without issue. Ceramic coating would be an alternative.
  8. Have one in Ontario if you can't find closer.
  9. Warmed over 280 motor. Converting from an automatic to 5 spd so need flywheel as well Looking for flywheel around 14 to 15 lbs, steel or cast. Any suggestions? May end up lightening a stock flywheel.
  10. Anyone have experience comments on VR stage 1 (06032-06-038) or stage2 (06030-06-038) for 280 zx turbo http://www.ebay.com/itm/VR-Stage-2-Clutch-Kit-HD-Flywheel-81-83-Nissan-280ZX-Turbo-2-8L-6cyl-/400425551720?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item5d3b390768
  11. Anyone have any words of wisdom? Daily driver needs a new clutch. readily available at NAPA
  12. Ditto on the holley red fuel pump (12-801) with a holley 0-4 psi regulator (12-804) and fuel pressure gauge. SU's are designed for 3.4 Psi or chance over pressuring the needle & seat. raw gas near the exhaust- not a good thing! recommend fuel filter inline before the pump so you don't have any issues down the road.
  13. I adjusted the BCDD by turning it clockwise (in) a bit, & test drove a few times after each adjustment. Much better now Thanks
  14. 77 280Z 4 spd Coming to an intersection, throttle off, the RPM is slow to idle down to normal (800 rpm) It's like the computer or something is telling it to wait 5 seconds or more before allowing the idle to drop to base. Is there a cure or what is the fix? thanks for any help.
  15. pull the ignition wire at the starter. Chain a front wheel to a back wheel.
  16. Ive used 2 different vehicles for long haul trips with my Z and trailer. Biggest factor: Is your trailer open or enclosed. How much wind drag? Mine is open flatbed,tandem axle with electric brakes on one axle. Tekonsha voyager works great and easy to wire in. I also use an equalizer hitch. 140kph steady as a rock. My 92 s10 Blazer 2WD with 4.3 auto works fine and gets about 20mpg average while hauling on a long run. The 94 Buick Roadmaster loaded with the family makes the ride like a living room couch and keeps everybody happy! Fuel economy is about the same while towing. It will go like a rocket if you want to be leader of the pack!
  17. Looking to put a 4spd automatic on a 2.8 turbo. What options are there?
  18. Kitchener, Ontario

  19. Checked out my 73 with the dealer installed aftermarket YORK AC kit Mine has tons of clearance with the original lower rad hose. On close view of your pic it appears the idler pulley is mounted underneath. If that's the case it's not in the original position. Original idle/tension pulley was up top near the valve cover. I've attached a few pics Hope this helps.
  20. Can anyone confirm which series of motor it comes from? L24, L26, L28 ? Thanks
  21. I have an L series crankshaft P30 Can anyone confirm the engine size it comes from L24, L26, or L28 ? Thanks
  22. Steve, Is it possible to be more specific as to year & model specific eg 4wd, V6 Here in Canada they show 5 different ones with a 1" bore for the 87-97 hardbody D21 Thanks
