OOOOH no, patnuh I know you just didn't go there.

Man you HAVE to keep this one going!!!!

never seen that one before, good money in the metal scrap!!

Played that one for a half an hour when it was first posted, ended up getting a perfect .500 three times in a row!!!! Have you figured out the hydraulics yet? It's a trip.

Intake looks frightfully familiar to the chevrolet LS1 !!!!!

I think John Washington is making the 280YZ body kits now (correct me if I am wrong). That is the one with the fiberglass front clip and the rear fiberglass quarter panels. These are HUGE fender openings!!!

I would like to buy a new one (or rebuilt good as new VB) as well, but I do not like the price lol. It does tighten up the steering noticably though. A local Z buddy of mine replaced his and it had this effect.

I have tried and tried to contact pinkey about the tailight carbon fibre pieces but to no avail. Does somebody else in here know him offline? That hood would be nice as well.....

AMEN GRUMPY!!!!!!!!

I got to ride in Joel's car AGAIN this afternoon!!!!!! Nah-nah-ne-nah-nah!!! LOL, seriously though it is an exhilirating experience, stage 3 Kevlar clutch won't even catch And just peg the rev limiter like a champ, you go boy!!

Why not just upgrade to 280zx turbo CV's? Using Ross's kit of course!

funny...........I like it!!

O.K.- I have a complete 81 setup motor and all. I would only need to get an 83 distributor to swap to dizzy cas? Or do I need the 82-83 computer as you have it in your setup? Also I would like to do the 300ZX AFM swap, would all this cause too much conflict in the wiring and melt the poor ECU?? lol

I asked the same question about the 81 cas and the 82-83 dizzy swap, and you guys told me that it wouldn't work with the 81 ECU because of the number of teeth on the sensor wheel at the balancer being different than the teeth on the dizzy mounted wheel??????????????????????????

I laughed my A$$ off on that one!!

And that's it????????????????????????????

Thank you for the replies guys, I guess I would be better off sending the head off somewhere that specializes in datsun inline 6 heads. Any suggested shops and maybe even some prices?

Any of you guys ever port/polish a datsun cylinder head? I am gathering a lil info on this and was wondering if you guys had any tips or tricks, maybe even some pictures for reference. Thank you for your time.

I too would like to know the answer to this one. I was contemplating this swap as well.

Thank you so much pete!!! I am not an electronic genius so a diagram would help me as well as others I'm sure. I am getting better though the more I learn about wiring issues, just takes time and patience. I can go back and try to find the LTD relays, do you know where they are located in the car?

Sorry guys I've been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to get back to ya. Pete has done the swap obviously and knows a bit more than I do. Pete maybe you could email me with the wiring diagram for the relay mods, or make any recomendations for things you "in retrospect should have done but didn't". Any info will be appreciated. I also picked up the tercel mirrors $30 for both of them, and pancake 2 speed 3 wire motor taurus fan for 10 bucks:rockon: !!! I will put together a writeup on this topic if you would like with acrediting pete for the help also.

I spent a bit of time at the pick and pull today. I pulled a heater blower motor from a 76 280Z, a 90 honda civic, and an 84 LTD. These three have been the subject of debate on several forums talking about upgrading your heater blower motor. I brought the three assemblies to the counter and hooked up each to a tester (small, handheld, portable device that you hook up to a part as an adjustable power source) As I hooked up each I gave a rating of 1-2-3, and attained this score by the ammount of wind the cage pushed ( I held the assembly "motor side down" with the cage facing towards me to "feel" the airflow from the sides)***do not try this at home serious injury may occur**. 1.The worst was obviously the datsun, very weak in comparison to the other two. 2.Next up was the honda, it had about 20 % more flow in multiple comparisons back and forth with the datsun just to be sure. 3. And finally the LTD, this thing was AMAZING, I could feel the torgue in my hands more so than the other two, and it flowed about 40% better than the honda, I would say this one would be the best of them all by a long shot. My money went to the LTD blower motor assembly. The LTD assembly is mounted under the hood in the passenger side uppermost corner of the engine compartment (easy to get to) but will require a little "custom modifications" to the datsun heater blower "box" to make it fit, but it is possible if you are mechanically inclined and are not scared to do a little cutting and drill new bolt holes. In a previous post I had said " I want to turn on the A/C or heater and have it rearrange my hair" well the LTD is the way to go for this effect hands down. I will post the installation procedure as soon as it is in there. Oh by the way the part was like 5 bucks. They did have a blower motor already pulled (but already claimed by a customer) from a 96 cadillac that looked REALLY KILLER!!! It is a 150 dollar unit USED !!!! New they are like 300-400 bucks !!! But it had a "pancake" style motor that only stuck out about an inch, but the cage was way to long and would not have fit at all in the datsun box. I didn't get to test this one since the customer had already paid for it and on their way to get it, and I won't be testing one any time soon because it's on the firewall BEHIND THE MOTOR, you have to pull the motor to get it out . Figures though, as soon as you get the right one a better one shows itself, I'm sure I'm not the only one with this affliction....lol

Yes there is a seal there. The factory seal had a series of metal clips that ran through it from end to end ( I think they were all connected together in a strand inside the piece of weatherstripping). The aftermarket ones I've seen do not have the metal inside them, and require that you glue the piece down (3M weatherstrip adhesive) By the way I am a faithful reader of your "updates" in the chevy forum, and I have to say I am very impressed with your swap thus far. NOW GO GET THAT RED TA!!!!!!

Did ya see those tailights? I wonder how they'd look on .................
