  1. Came here to post that. I do know the infiniti M30 won't charge if the dash is removed. I found this out at PBIR in 2010 during a test and tune and found it wasn't charging so I drove back home to riviera beach with lights out.
  2. Some maxima oil pans have "wings" but most I've seen were simply front sump.
  3. Yeah........I remember having to pull the mount bracket out to replace a dipstick tube O'ring on many lexus and toyota cars. The aluminum brackets are pretty big and in the way.
  4. Wow....that pic above is a great solution but is the starter really in the way on OP's car?
  5. What was the cylinder head number. A 1983 ZX turbo 5-speed is where you just might find the super rare P-99 head.
  6. If you do go injection, definitely get more air filter area. I wonder if you have room for the 280zsx turbo air filter box up front. It's a pretty large filter.
  7. Necropost with pics I haven't seen yet. https://www.facebook.com/300ZX300ZX/posts/imsa-gtu-vg30-built-by-ed-pink-racing-engines/1803498913086580/
  8. I feel arduino or raspberry Pi could induce latency to cause timing issues causing some data points to skew along a timeline. On the ford GT LSR car, we used Aims Evo4 with smarty cam from 2009. I had suspension ride height sensors and even a few spots left over to check the pressure/vacuum of our intake boxes. That's a 14 year old solution so I'm sure there is better now from the likes of Vbox.
  9. At electrodyne, we sold the recaro brackets and I remember instructions to use passenger side rails on drivers side and vice versa. I'm sure it's written down since I remember reading it from a recaro catalog. Now this information is from 1986 so................... I figure by now that others have products to fill the niche.
  10. I mentioned spark plugs because my L28et at 6psi simply felt a bit weak as the rpms climbed. I went through everything except the spark plugs and made sure everything tested good or was new. Then I noticed I hadn't replaced the spark plugs in a P79 I swapped in so I can get my P90s all sorted out. Swapped plugs from the P90 (30k+miles same plug number) and the car came back to life. So one week, it did 15.8 in the quarter and the with changing only the plugs a week later, it ran 14.6 on 7psi.
  11. I used a cable and a cruise control cable cam from a early 1990s nissan throttle body (probably 1992 stanza). When I took it apart, i noticed a plastic bushing for it to ride on that looked like it was the same size of the throttle shaft for L28s. It does fit and I simply worked out the proper clocking and drilled it through for a bolt. It's not progresive so massive or multiple throttle bodies might feel touchy on a N/A car.
  12. I use a Infiniti M30 ECU with nistune.
  13. got my threads mixed up.............replace "mains" with "crank bolt". On the VG30, some dealership guys snapped the nose of the crank off and was wondering why oil sprayed out.
  14. Spark plug gap or coil weakness Did original poster ever mention what kind of dyno?
