Problem solved!! I should of guessed it.. BAD HEI! its the 3rd one since January!! but another bad GM HEI ignition module. Good thing I have a lifetime warranty lol

oh man cast aluminum is tough to weld.. especially since casting doesn't ensure clean material.. so the welds are nasty! I ended up using a thick thick filler rod and a bit of extra heat.. only thing I could do =(

I placed my order this morning!!

Awesome! I gathered all the parts at a junkyard today! $60 bux! ahhh! pricey pricey!!

I have been reading the megamanual a few times but I couldn't find a definite answer... with MS1/extra and 2.2 PCB board.. and EDIS 6 ignition... do I need the VB921/BIP373 coil driver? None of the EDIS wiring 2.2 PCB board specify if I need it!! EDIT - this might of answered my question So if I run the EDIS module I do not need the VB921/BIP373.. I can have MS ECU control the coils using VB921/BIP373 by throwing out the EDIS 6 module and using just the coil packs and VR?

I like the little VG's on the roof for the engine's intake!

according to the logs and what Megatune shows.. the intake and coolant sensors are reading like normal.. no spikes.. The AFR's are also normal.. the car idles around 13.5 AFR ... then the tachometer shows wild readings.. the AFR still shows 13.5 AFR.. then its like the fuel/spark both get cut off at once.. so the AFR goes to 20.1/O2 which is the calibrated O2 value without the engine running. Im considering going to EDIS now lol

thank you for the suggestions guys.. I wonder if there is a way to test the dizzy other then the shaft play? I dont have a spare '83 dizzy so I will look around on ebay and the junk yards.. its very very strange this is happening.. and such a gradual event I also think its bizarre it only happens at idle!! The car pulls like crazy in every gear!!

Forrest... Since I last drove the car the only issue was the clutch/transmission which I have changed. I will check the play in the dizzy.. i'm just confused how all of a sudden the play in the dizzy would play a factor.

the problem is getting worse!! I can drive the car in any gear untill I pop the car in nuetral and let it idle! it dies almost immediatly now!! The car was able to run for almost 2 min before it died... and the problem is getting worse and now barely running for a few seconds. I am running a '83 distributer.. HEI ignition and MS1 extra 021u (old i know). The fuel pressure at the rail stil reads 38psi!! I was assuming it was a clogged filter or pump or something.. ah! what the devil is going on!!

judging by the LOG .. the TPS value is steady .. so I dont think it's the TPS at all. if I had erratic TPS values I would start looking at it.. hmm

LoL.. tried that too =)

mm yummy

Im having problems with Megasquirt.. or my car I can't figure it out yet. The car has good fuel pressure.. 38psi at idle.. and all of the settings in Megasquirt seem fine.. the symptoms I'm having is the car will start and run for a few seconds and then my tachometer bounces from 1000 RPM to 0 RPM a few times. Then the tachometer reads 0 RPM and the car continues to run for about 2-3 seconds then the car dies. When I have Megatune running it shows a fairly constant RPM... So the cars tachometer reads 0 RPM but Megatune shows 900 RPM until the car dies after 2-3 seconds. I attached a LOG of the event.. On Megasquirts "Tuning your Megasquirt" in the instruction manual states Now I have tried numerous settings on the Warm-up enrichment bins. I don't know why all of a sudden I am having this issue. The car ran great for over 3 years now with the SAME settings!! The only thing on the car I have changed was the transmission!! By the way the car runs fine and pulls hard.. I'm only having issues at IDLE!

Urethane!

wow... talk about a thread brought back from the dead... 280zxforce.. welcome to Hybridz... check out http://www.zcarparts.com I think you'll find A LOT of stuff there

ah just curious.. i'm researching a new home theater system now.. I had to ask!! everything looks great!! im jealous!

It can be done for MUCH cheaper... like Bo and Warren stated above

Bo can you let me know what your findings are? thanks!!!

don't most home theater/audio speakers and subs run at 8 ohms?? not 4?

October 2nd, 2008 - 1947 the FIA establishes Formula One racing - 1948 the first races at Watkins Glen NY I am signed up to the history channels "this day in history AUTOMOTIVE" daily text alerts.. which is annoying at 6am.. but interesting stuff!!! I'll update a lot =)

The Nissan Navara is a Nissan Hardbody (D21) truck... with the manufacture years (1986.5-1994) This is the list I have for all parts labeled 32702.. i unfortunately can not find the "02g17" http://www.courtesyparts.com/kb_search_result.php?keywords=[32702]+(d21&cPath=3178_3179_3244_3257 I'm trying to assume.. I need one from a manual transmission, between the years of 1990-1994 when the 300zx was manufactured. (i know Z32's were 90-96.. but the D21 was only manufactured. till 1994). Otherwise all the parts listed are for the KA24 or the VG30. So now I am narrowing this down to a Manual Transmission VG30... which I can only find this part.. http://www.courtesyparts.com/32702-pinion-assy-speedometer-truck-d21-1990-1992-kc2wdvg30emtf5-1988-1989-tkcsevg302wdmtf5-19865-1987-p-115916.html?cPath=3178_3179_3244_3257&
