    the "-" is just a ground plane.

    That Safety Hub 150 looks nice. Is the one large lug on the left side the lug where you land the hot and are all circuit hot sides tied together with a bus bar? If so, is there a way to remove the bus bar to have separate power inputs? I haven't looked at the Z wiring diagram, are all the fusible links fed from a common power source, and you can just tie it all together?

    This one would be good for the larger amperage one http://www.iboats.com/Blue-Sea-Maxi-Fuse-Block/dm/cart_id.739373031--session_id.612863346--view_id.38416 This would suffice for the smaller amperage ones http://www.waytekwire.com/item/46011/MAXI-FUSE-BLOCK-HOLDER/ I've been reading these threads and a lot of the maxi blocks people have been putting on here are rated for 100 amps or less , that's the rating for the WHOLE block, not each circuit. 70+40+40+40 > 100. That's probably why people are having trouble with them loosening and things of that nature. They are using them for more than they are designed to carry. I would hate to see anyone burn their car to the ground because they didn't check specs.

    I know for tech at the race track here, you're supposed to have an inspection hole somewhere in the cage so they can see the thickness. Maybe drag strips aren't as strict as race tracks.

    I never heard either in real life just you tube videos of each. I really do dig the V12 ish sound of the freqmod dr gas mufflers. It's just hard to tell how loud they actually are from a video.

    I probably saw 6 or so before I got my Z without really even looking for them. I have only seen 3 since. A 280 that had decent interior panels so I grabbed all those. I'm still waiting for one to show up with the couple parts I'm missing.

    A lot off the pro touring guys seem to like spintechs. The Dr Gas makes a V8 sound sort of Ferrari ish.

    How did you mount the fan to the radiator? That is a Taurus fan, isn't it?

    I was looking at the spintechs and Dr. Gas (just because of the sound of the frequency mod mufflers). I want a deep sound, but not very loud. I had flowmasters in the past and they would drone at highway speeds, so I'm kind of leery of those.
  10. socorob
    DomZ, How loud is that setup and what muffler did you use?

    Today I was doing my usual weekly search of the local pullaparts to see if any S30s popped in, and I decided to check the whole country. Looks like there is a 74 in Indianapolis and a 77 in Montgomery. Cheap parts for anyone local to those. http://www.pullapart.com/inventory/search.aspx http://www.picknpull.com/check_inventory.aspx?Address=70448&Lat=30.355073&Lng=-90.046656&Make=Datsun&Model=280&Distance=25000

    http://hytechsales.com/ I saw this place talked about on a few other sites but haven't been able to get in touch with them to find out more info. They apparently have a heat and sound all in one spray on that's half the price of lizard skin.

    There was a guy with a locost with a hyabusa engine here a few years back and he had it registered as a motorcycle some way. He had to drive it with a helmet because of that.
  14. socorob
    If you want something relatively cheap and fast for autox why don't you just build a locost? It would be much easier than all of this grafting business.

    I hope I can get all the little forgot to think of items locally. I hate when a project has tonsit a week waiting on 1 little part to come in the mail. I think I"m doing too much at once... spot welding all the seams, TTT rear suspension setup with Q45 diff, LS swap, probably lizard skin, then figure out rims, tires and flares. I think I will use Vintage Wheel Works 45 wheels in either 16 or 17 inch.
  16. socorob
    There's none to find around these parts, so I had to stretch my search out to all the way up there. I didn't get that good of a deal as you did, but I don't think it was too bad. It had only a few rust spots in the usual places, nothing too bad. I've fixed most of them and am about finished welding on the bad dog rails. Soon as I finish a few more spots I will be ready to start my swap. That and as soon as the brown dressed man that drives the brown truck starts coming to visit.

    2 guys did something similar on the Sunbeam forum. 1 took an Alpine and widened it by 8-10 inches, I can't remember but it came out beautifully. The other took an Alpine body and was going to put it on a Miata platform. He actually got them set in place and tacked together, but that was as far as I think it went. Someone said in the very beginning when he was going to start it that all he was going to do was ruin an Alpine and a Miata, and that's exactly what happened.

    I have 2 Taurus Fans already, so I'm glad to see that will work out. I'll be pulling the trigger on the champion as soon as JTR refunds me. I like the stock airbox idea. I was wondering if it would flow enough for an LS engine. Glad to see it works. I think Denton is where I picked up my Z from. It was north of Dallas. My friend and I did a 21 hour hellride straight up there and back to get it.
  20. socorob
    Dude,are you using your stock airbox? Hows that working out? Im always worried about getting splashed by an 18 wheeler and the big cone filter in front of the radiator deciding to fill the engine with water. What filter do you run in it?
  21. socorob
    Is that the champion 3 core radiator? I ordered JTR radiator and mounting kit Friday to get an email today saying they no longer have either. Does that radiator keep it cool in the summer traffic?

    I'm putting it in a 78. For some reason i thought the Datsun pump was only around 50 psi.
  23. socorob
    Thanks. I was able to talk to him on the phone. Its a pump, bracket and fittings to connect it to fuel line. I will go with the speedway stuff and mount it on a plate to bolt where the Z one does now. I have an LS1 with FI, so I need a higher pressure pump than the Z one. Has anyone made a setup with filters and pump mounted to a removable plate where the existing one went?
  24. socorob
    Going to place my JCI order this week so I can start my swap. Does anyone know what you get with their fuel pump? is it just a pump and fittings to hook into the Datsun lines or does it come with the filter/ regulator also? The descriptions on the website are very vague on what you're actually purchasing. Trying to decide to go with his, or piece everything together from speedway.

    http://youtu.be/AQjXsvEhLyQ It would probably be easier to use something with a frame like the 4wd hillclimb 260z.
