  1. I had mine up front like yours (bigger filter) but Im guessing it caused some sort of turbulance because my Z would start to run real hot. I moved it into the engine compartment, it's now in front of air vent at radiator support and that cured my over heating issues.
  2. I am running the 300ZXT 3.70 ratio rear end out of the 87 thru 89 models. I love them, just rebuilt another with a set of clutches purchased in a group buy from a member on this board some yrs ago.
  3. Well got it apart and it ate the front planetaries, sprag, bearing and some clutches got glazed. My transmission is getting a rebuild now. I sent my billet 9.5" converter back to Edge for a re-tweek. Going for closer to 3600-3800 now. Supposed to have everything back by Friday....fingers crossed!
  4. Well, got the oppertunity to send my converter back for a reflash as my 4L80E took a dump. The forward sprag and bearing went out in it, should have it back in a few weeks, I found the qweak spot!!! I'm having the converter reflashed from 3100 to 36-3800. Only had to pull the passenger side header to het it out, small victories lol
  5. Nope, my axles were snapped clean. I have pictures somewhere, will post if I can locate them.
  6. Snapped one drivers side and a passenger side one time just to keep things equal..lol Snapped both around 3-5" out on the actual shaft of the CV axle.
  7. I found 4 of the 300 zxt axles in Ft.Worth last year for 150 bucks. Took them home and cleaned them up (rebuild) for future spares. They are getting harder to find.
  8. When I swapped over to the LS based set up I swapped to the 4L80E as well
  9. An LS3 with milld cam thru a 6 speed should net you around 430-450 rwhp, they are a great motor! Good luck with the build.
  10. In 8 plus yrs of racing I have broken 2 CV axles at the shaft. I switched to the cv axles because I snapped the old u-joint axles and stub axles all the time. My stub axles are Modern Motorsport billets now, never have snapped one of those....knock on wood!
  11. I have been 6.1X's in the 1/8th and 9.70's in the 1/4 mile too many times to recall. I am running an R200 rear end with automatic transmissions only.
  12. My 6 liter is cam only and made 418rwhp even thru a 4L80E, probably 460-470 thru a 6 speed. They really make good power.
  13. Flowmasters are one of the worste for exhaust flow. Do a search and comparison, you will be suprised.
  14. I have run a built R200 (extra clutches) from old group buy with CV axles and Modern Motorsports billet stub axles for close to 8 yrs now. I have broken/snapped 2 or 3 CV axles but nothing else, knock on wood! I am guessing around 600 rwhp max. My Turd ran low 6's in the 1/8th and 9.70's in the 1/4 mile plus a whole lot of street action too
  15. Thanks for the info, I have given it some thought swapping to a solid axle set up. I have an R200 LSD plus a spare one, never broken one yet, just cv axles. I really like your set up, very nice!
  16. How much interior space did you lose going with a mini tub and solid axle. I have seen a few Z's converted and my 6' 1" 190 lbs frame was cramped to say the least when trying to get in the seat.
  17. The tips were ones just lying around the shop, nothing special. They are 3" same as the exhaust pipe diameter.
  18. Thats my 240 with long tubes from the group buy with true dual 3" exhaust, muffler is a Magnaflow
  19. I had to dimple mine (primaries) around the steering.
  20. No, they had R180's in them. I destroyed an R200 and several half shafts with a 300rwhp 240Z even with an automatic 700R4. I would step it up, but that is just me. A half shaft can also do a lot of damage when snapped, brake lines, lower arms, etc..
  21. Sounds like a good fit for you. You have the cathedral port heads right?
  22. I drive around on a 255/60-15 Mickey Thompson drag radial, love em!
