Marcus, wondering how that 225 mm spec clutch is doing for you? thinking about runnng one with a turbo engine with around 300lbs crank hp. does it hold up to it???

My good friend caught a bad one from dandos too. Orchard supply sells steel like that kit for 8.99 per 4ft piece. But you do need to do some cutting and fitting, not a big deal. 22.00 worth of steel for a full frame 280z

Thats cool It aint no thang to slang kaine.

for that money, go titanium.

engine plates

e31 does not have bolt hole for mount fi manifold, do it?

My dad digs the 240sx a little too much, I think hes gonna buy it or I would be down to turn it into a sileighty, but eh, I can still do that later. Dale-you arent missing much with the 300zxtt, except that it does everything our cars do more comfortably, and two leggedly thing actually was pretty quick, but felt a little on the big side, but it could hit doughnuts like you dont know. Main thing is that I can take the turbo 280 out of daily driver loop and do some work ive been meaning to for quite a while.

Sold it, and sold quick. Ended up selling it for a good profit, and a 89 240sx- I just posted ads in different Bbs saying I would be willing to trade partial for a beater 240sx, and It worked!!!! Buyer on the 280zxt was giving me grief at the last moment so I still have her-if she doesnt sell in a month or so I am going to drop driveline into a 240z dangit-engine to cvs to rear disk with a t5-sheesh I didnt know a 1500 obo zxt that runs great would be so much grief. Ok heres the weird one- Im driving around with my buddy, and on the way he shows me a crx hf, he knew the owner and he wanted 200 for it because he doesnt want it, car drives fine has some body damage but for 200 I didnt care, its lowered and has a fart pipe-Well I took it for asking price!!! Well I guess thats life. Well, on the crx I am going to de-rice it and fix the quarter panel and drive it now that my commute is much longer-and with gas prices the way they are over here you cant get much better mpg without being electric-dang thing gets 48mpg! I am also happy I got a gas happy car like this so that I can finally put the 75 in the garage and putting some major wrench down on it. Ive been driving the car an average of 2000 miles a month all year long and theres some work thats past due that I can finally do now. Now If I could get the 280zxt outta my life, I would be very happy... Had three cars, sold one and now I have four cars, GRRREAT....

4 real, though

what he said

Maybe they will get smarter next year and actually put out the secret twin turbo version, and make me bolt up the t04e so i can : "Do it to them one more time Once is never enough For the FAIR-LADY" (327) Those cars look nice though, and have those crazy wheel and brake setups going for them, and some nice styling. I can see them great in my rear view

I would make Alex a deal to drop the driveline in and make it run. After a careful break in period at LOW LOW boost, I would have him tune it on a dyno, you said you wanted 350rwhp, make him tune for that hp level safely if possible. I would also make him build you a downpipe, shouldnt be too hard for him, he makes turbos too. Now get back under there and get the suspension done Basically, put him to work, thats what he does and Im sure he will hook it up proper. Aluminum radiator would be nice too, im gonna use a KOYO radiator from a Silvia on mine, little fab work but its nothing really, just using pipes for hoses- the z hoses are close to the same diameter and in the same general place. They go for 450.00, but not for me thats right yup

the 81zxt ecu is fine, I have interchanged ecus a number of times, ive actually run all 81-83 year ecus with no issues on 81 harness, and I keep a few spares that I have to keep. Ive run the 81 ecu with a 83 distributor, and it was a drop in swap. 83 is preferred to me though, since it runs 24btdc instead of the other ones which like 20btdc, which is another enigma------------ Im running 24 btdc on the 81 ecu, and its identical.... I dont know whats up with the resistors either. I have the 81 harness with resistors, and used an 83 ecu for the longest time, and beat on it pretty good with it as well-------- it just doesnt make any sense to me at all. Maybe the later ones can sense the resistors or something in line, maybe it could be something Nissan designed in case of ecu replacement, and stopped 81 turbo ecu production after that year????? It kicks more @55 than a donkey either way, and either setup has been very good to me. Heres some more weirdness, ive used tps from four or five different datsun/nissan cars from the 81-89 period, and they all work great?

I contribute my intermittant ecu problems to a faulty connector-the middle connector ( It had a lot of "wiggle"), and these connections got dirty alot, I blame that on the floor being dusty as heck. I vaccummed the floor and use dielectric grease on ecu connectors. I soldered in a tighter molex connector and mounted the ecu rigidly to the driver kick panel, and it was good to go. What would happen to me is that when the car would hit that stutter point, I would reset the ecu and it would go away, then it would come back again a few days later, do it again go away, until I wiggle the middle plug. Then all I would do is wiggle that plug, and it would go away again.... I forget what the middle connector goes to, but im sure any of them would cause a similar issue. I could check the FSM for you if you dont have one. Loose and dirty connections and bad ground have been the most reoccuring issues with this car-and almost everytime this happens-I hit the "brick wall" at 4500 and sometimes right when I floor the car. I installed a grounding kit I got off a silvia clip to cure ground issues, and resoldered in quick release connectors with plenty dielectric grease to all connectors. If I had the turbo, fuel, and be able to adjust my ignition curve, I would be good to go 6500 at least, as is if I let it hit 7k it will shoot up there pretty good, but power will be down-hot charge. I put the chip back in my limiter for 6k, system is still only feeling good up to 5500, but I go to 6k to keep Rpm up when I hit the gear. With the auto ecu it charges hard to 7k with a little stutter above 6400 or so, not a limiter or connector thing, IM out of air! with the 83 ecu it will initiate a fuel or ignition cut at 6600, I only tried this twice. Here is a weird one, downright boggling. When I drive without the tps connected in my 75, it doesnt almost nothing, its meaningless. When I do it in the zxt-it will barely move?

VERIFIED 83 ecu cut me off the rev party at 6600 consistently 81zxt ecu I have HAS NO REV LIMITER.

Black Zcars are nice, mines Black too, but its kinda gross to me. Hard to keep clean too, Im going Wangan Midnite blue-but it was nice having a Black Zcar for a while. Nice car Brett, and nice "flares" 8)

Do not wear the mantle of the wolf if you are really the Taco Bell Dog.

Goofing around and testing pile of spare parts, testing my afms, ecus, and what not. Decided to swap out my 83zxt five speed ecu for my old 81zxt ecu, right? Started right up, happy me. I remember the post about fuel cut in a zxt, so me being me I had to go try it out. BTW, I havent reved my car past 6k with 83zxt setup I am running now. Warm the car up, decided to leave my timing ay 24BTDC. I took it for a spin on the freeway, and dropped it back into second on the on ramp and the sucker just shot to 7100, without blinking, without the infamous fuel and ignition cutoff. I made power that fell off greatly after 6300rpm, but the sucker did spin fast up there, and yes, this is with the t3. Needless to say, I left that ecu in there for the time being. My fuel pump is wired to a relay independently of the efi system, and I have never used or wired up the fuel pump modulator or the stock relay for it, I deleted that one as fast as I could get a relay. Im wondering if this is the reason why it would not initiate a fuel cut???? I have heard it is like hitting a brick wall, and before I had a tach I thought that I was hitting a rev limiter of some sort. Once I installed one, I learned it wasnt a fuel cut, it was bad connector on ecu causing it to stutter at 4k or so. I have also heard that ignition and fuel both cut off for split seconds when a rev limit is hit. Im thinking that it is the fuel being cut off intermittantly? I spun it a few times to 6500, but feeling really flat it started feeling I got back to reality and drove home normally, but I did not hit a rev limiter. Just something I found out today, wondering if its just an 81zxt ecu. Tommorow we will try to do 6500+ once or twice with 83 ecu. When are you guys out there experiencing a rev limiter?

Hey, I just ran into a buddy of mine who is BIG into playing with cars. He just informed me that he is soon to be renting out a large warehouse, dividing it into sections and renting space out for people to work/store/paint/fix their cars. This is in Richmond CA. Mostly the people there are working on their autox/weekend warrior cars. Its a good place to work on your car if you dont have a garage. Also, its a great place to hang out if youre a car nut, plus collectively there will be a lot of people with skills in different areas all hours of the day and night=Basically, its Monster Garage. Access is 24hr a day, 7 days a week, you can wake up in the middle of the night, and go take whatever you car you want to work on and do whatever you need to, or want to do with it. I will probably be sharing a few spaces with a friend for body work and paint. Im sure there will be more details later. Rent is going to be 150-200 a month, and a equal deposit gets you in. PM or email me if interested.

good suggestions from all. Dont forget a nice radio that can play cd/mp3

reactionresearch has expensive good stuff

Yes

What do stock 350z put out to the wheels? That would determine how worthwhile it would be, seeing as that 285hp rating is still getting its butt handed to em by ME YUP Thats right 8) Yee-HAW And then he said And then I go After that Oh yeah

I know that they slip onto five lug 240sx like nothing.
