Hi Guys, This is a long shot, but anyone by any chance have the follow piece below lying around they'd like to sell? It's the stock recirculation tube that vents the stock BOV back in to the turbo inlets. I'm in need of the tube that connects both turbo inlets. Please let me know, thank you!

I restored the wires to the tach to run a 6 cylinder application, however there is a note in the spec sheet Figure 3 - Note: The device that the green signal output wire is attached must be pro- grammed for four (4) cyl- inder operation. I guess I'll have to cut the orange/brown wires again and see if this works.

Hi Team, I can't seem to find a precise way to install this pickup. A few questions I have... 1) My Autometer tach had the orange and brown loops wires cut, so I resoldered the orange to supposedly set it up for a 6 cylinder calibration, is this possible or is there no turning back once cut? 2) I've seen a few threads were the MSD pickup is connected to the white wire going to the injector solenoid, ECU pinout #7, and White wire going to the coil packs, what has work best for anyone used the MSD pickup? 3) If you do have the MSD pickup install, is your green signal wire connected directly to the Autometer's green signal wire? 4) Anyone with an R33 GTR engine swap? ECU Pinout# 7 wire seems to be yellow/red stripe for the R32 GTR, although my R33 GTR harness has a yellow/blue. Can anyone confirm the differences please? Many thanks!

Got it running, I think I just need fuel.... LOL That's what happens when you haven't worked on the car in awhile... SMH. Thanks for the help bro!

Plugs looked fine, weren't soaked. Thinking outside the box here, but when soldering wire, is there a possibly that wire could get damaged from heat?

Haven't posted in a long time, for the reason I never had any problems. But recently, I put the car back together, and it ran without any trouble. Then weirdly enough, after starting the car again, the rear 3 cylinders were the only ones running?! Tested: *Compression 150psi all across *All spark plugs are firing *Fuel Injectors - the 3 rear cylinders are firing/running, so shouldn't the front 3 injectors/cylinders be firing also? I am so confused, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Sigh....

I wasn't pleased with wiring specialties work.... I pretty much picked up a another used harness and just followed Chris Rummel's write-up, it now runs like a charm... P.S. I should of just did that in the first place. It's also good to know where and what all the wires are coming from the ECU in the long run... Lotus7 - Good luck and have fun with the project man! It took me 5 long years working on it off and on, but its all worth it in the end...!

What year is your Z that you are looking to get mounts for?

Nevermind.... I've figured it out. The beauty of the search engine... Lol. Although, if anyone else is wondering, here is the link that answered my question. http://www.turboneticsinc.com/install_instructions oil_drain_routing.jpg

Its been awhile since i've touched the car, but I am in the final stages of getting the car started finally... Lol But, back to my dilemma about the bending of the oil return line. Here is a picture of how it turned out. I've read that the oil return line isn't pressurized, correct me if I am wrong, but I think I bent the pipe a bit too low where the oil will have a hard time returning to the block at an incline??? I feel that since the piping has a slight decline, that the oil will just sit at the lowest point and will have a hard time making it in to the block. Not sure if that makes sense, but please let me know on your thoughts on this picture. Thanks guys...

Nevermind.... I figured it out. Mods, can you please close the thread... Thank you.

Wondering if some of you with RB swaps have any recommendations on my push-type clutch dilemma in my 240z. So, I have followed every step in the RB/Z32 transmission swap and converted my setup to a push-type. Everything is installed, although the clutch fork seems to be stuck and the slave cylinder can't push the fork. The clutch I am using is a brand new ACT 300zx NA clutch kit. Also, I have verified that the clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder work properly. Has anyone had this problem? Do people usually change the clutch master cylinder as well in these swaps? Can't think of anything else, but please chime in... Thanks

I was having the same problem with my oil drain line hitting my mounts. I had to bend the oil drain pipe slightly and it now clears, although I cannot use the stock oil drain hose. What I am thinking of doing now is to use two new (oil line) hose ends or cut the stock 90 degree oil drain hose in half, and use a 90 degree double barb sided fitting to connect both. Not sure if it will work yet, but I was told it would be okay...

+1 for Pat1 Makes a hell of a pan, for a bang for the buck. Better alternative to a 200zr pan.

Johnc: will do if all else fails... Pat1: You're a lifesaver! Thanks again guys for your help.... She's almost finished... !

Possibly the dumbest question i've ever asked, but I'm in the process of trying to plug up the front dipstick tube hole on the front of my rb and was wondering if anyone had any alternatives to this? Possibly... are there any other dipstick tubes I can use that I can just stick in to plug the hole up? Or if anyone has done something else rather than using a dipstick tube, some advice would be greatly appreciated.... thanks!

I shot you an email. thanks

Cool cool... its good to hear that. Thanks for the input guys. Gmac708: You seem to have the older version of the mckinney mounts I believe. I used to have the black ones, but I told them i was having fitment issues and they exchanged them for free with the new red ones, which was really cool, and I never had that problem. Maybe you can try that as well if you bought them brand new from them? But regardless, you seem to have fixed the problem, which is good. But yea, mine looks pretty similar, although I bent mine a bit to the left and slightly downwards because it was hitting the mounts im using. Overall, your guy's clarification seems legitimate for the return line. Thanks again fellas.

Hey all, So I was in the process of swapping in new mounts for my rb26ett project in my 240z, but I ran in to a slight problem. The mounts im using are custom mounts, and one mount seems to be hitting the oil return line slightly. Basically, I slowly modified the frontmost oil return line from the turbo and it is slightly bent to the left and a bit downwards. There aren't any kinks or anything, but this wont effect any of the oil flow with the turbo because the line is bent slightly downwards from its normal position will it? Please any feedback would be appreciated. I know its kind off too late that I did it, but just hoping some info will make me feel better. Lol Thanks again Hybrid guys.

Hey all.... So i've done the research on the fitment of 75-76 280z tanks in the 240z, but now im stumbled again.... There are four lines for the 280z tank which are the feed, return, and 2 other lines (breather or vent lines)? Im stumbled on what I should do with the other two lines for the car. Now i've read a whole bunch of other threads on the same situation, but I was wondering if anyone has like a diagram or pictures to follow. Haha. Im not much of an expert when it comes to the vent lines or evaporation tank stuff on Zs. Hope this helps if anyone has some advice, it would be greatly appreciated with my project. Thanks

Well I picked this rb25det tranny from venus with a 3rd and 4rd gear problem. Not exactly sure whats wrong since I dont have a shift lever for it, but I take it that theres grinding invovlded. But will let you know... thanks man.

Hey everyone... I was wondering if anyone in the bay area knew of any shops that can do a rebuild on my rb25det tranny. Basically 3rd and 4th have problems... Technically I think i can bring my tranny to any shop, but looking more for a shop thats done work on rb stuff. But for the record... I have a z32 NA tranny at home as well, and was wondering if I can just have them swap out the parts from that in to my rb25det tranny. All inputs welcomed... Plz lmk..!!! Thanks

So im in the final stages of my swap and had a 2 speed taurus fan lying around. Im using a PRC radiator, and was wondering if anyone else is using a taurus fan on their rb swap. Lmk...!!! thanks
