Strip some interior so u can see where any repairs where made, and post some pictures so we can see how bad. I just finished putting a new front end and rocker panels on my 95 AWD DSM after a wreck mangled my front end.

After a lot of trying to pull it out by hand or with other tools, I shook it and I got lucky when it fell out. My zed brakes like a new car again

I didn't see this mentioned yet http://www.datsport.com/
If you are willing to swap the rear supsension this guy has a s13 rear suspension under his s130 http://www.takkun.net/dri-z-000.htm

Remove the blower motor and you should see the relay. I think you sould check the fuel pressure, vacuum leaks, and the CAS.

Please download the FSM for your Z this should really help you out. Fuel pump relay is under the dash on the passenger side if I remember correctly.

No it needs to be shortened and trim the dust shield off the yoke. I don't remember how much I had taken off though I think I did the same about the first gens take off.

I think the only hub you could do is the 88-89 300zx front hubs to get five lugs, because 240sx and z32 front hubs are totally different. I just picked up a set of 30mm z32 calipers for mine. BTW the link posted has the calipers are not mounted in the optimum spot. Dynamics teaches us that there is always a normal acceleration when you apply your brakes. You need to swap your spindles so the brake mounts are opposite. That way the normal acceleration is pointing toward the opposite of forward motion, thus giving an extra free deceleration when braking.
Like how these are

I would start with the air regulator like nismopick said. I doubt you are having connection problems since when the car is warm and when over a certain RPM its fine. Can you tell us if that "certain RPM" puts the car into boost and or zero psi? My eclipse had the same symptoms and turned out to be an intake leak. After you check the air regulator it wouldn't hurt to check for leaks.

You need the plastic insert for the back pannel. You could junkyard or ebay to find it.

Did you follow the swap guide? http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=91250
Also please list all the parts with year and model that you used in the swap.

Sorry no update on the scans. I moved to Dayton Ohio to finish school and WSU, so I don't have access to the 3D scanner anymore. Aside from being busy with school work I've been messing with some new port designs with Cosmos CFD I want to refine the design but last test yielded good results. If I get some time I'll post it up here on hybridz.

I didn't realize that it wouldn't create a shock wave in the test. I see where you're coming from with the valves being open that much it’s almost like they are just open constantly. I guess what I'm looking for the moving mesh to do is run through a combustion cycle to see intake and exhaust flows relative to piston/valve timing at an instant in time.

Crossmember, complete rack with the little rod with the universals, and time.

It sounds like it’s as big of a pain like fluent but I can tell the user interface is friendlier. We have fluent at wright state university and it’s a pain to use. How long until we can see some dynamic results?
tbs

I'm thinking I might get that because it looks easier to use then fluent.

WOW, Jeff that software looks good, can you tell me if it uses movable mesh?

You need a rack and pinion crossmember.
