  1. Unsupported opinion that adds nothing to the OP........ The 7m is a great motor that gets a bad rap for low head stud torque. Check the Toyota section there are plenty of guys running 7m's with great results. I would say if the car is straight and set up how you like then do it! If not start with small things till the L28 swap dies and swap in the 7m.
  2. Check all the pipes too. maybe you forgot a clamp? Or your gauge is not hooked up? Hoping you get lucky and don't have a dead turbo,
  3. WOW all that for 2k! GREAT FIND! Hope you enjoy it.
  4. Wow, I do learn something every day! Thanks for all the clean info on this post.
  5. Sorry to point out the obvious here but I think that was where the reference came from.
  6. +1 on the S20. I remembered reading that, I thought ALL the police versions had S20 in them based on the 2 liter restriction, didn't know they had L24 car too. Guess I can't make assumption. edit: Looks to me like it's just by chance the two pics are together.......
  7. You can't go wrong with any HID retrofit. 10X better than stock.
  8. Sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with getting it started but it seems to me you are picking and choosing what advice to take and what to disregard. First get rid of the fuel problem and run a remote gas can with pump and filter. (I am betting this will solve the problem) Then check your timing and vacuum lines with it running. If that wont solve the problem then you have a faulty connection somewhere check grounds and connectors. Hope you are taking this with a grain of salt I am not trying to cause any strife. Happy wrenching.
  9. The stock turbo cam has it's pit falls i.e. lack on the mid- high RPM. From my experience a 260 cam is a better stock option. But if you are pressed for time/money just go with what you have. There are a few posts about which cam is "better" but if its just a mild build you should be fine with what ever just make sure you keep the oil setup correct for the cam (internal/ spray bar or both).
  10. Moisture under the dizzy? Very common problem.
  11. I would just say Tony D told me to do it I just "forgot" it was signed........
  12. I just see some idiot trying to ADD value to a car that doesn't run!
  13. I think your best bet is to go visit Japan and take pixors of what you want or pay Tony D! On this site I see two pics you can see part of the dash in the pic near the end. Some one seemed more interested in all the skylines and race cars to care about the old Datsuns. http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2079707 Sorry posted on phone will edit soon.
  14. Wait you z drives???? Mine is too scared to touch the ground. Been in counseling for a few years still progressing some day to return to road worthy status.
  15. +1 for Nigel As far a product reviews I think we have it down pretty good. The vendors that do sell Z specific parts are usually members and care a great deal about their products. Also if I am looking for a review on "commonly" used products I stick with seller sites or Amazon ect. Great idea I just think we have it covered.
  16. No it's still here. Look at my post there is a GREEN + and a RED - in the lower right corner. Edit: Ok I just got it..... Waiting for it to be implimented.
  17. Maybe it's the title...... HELLO?
  18. I would start in the FAQ's there is a thread about triples that has good info. Then the search function is 2nd on the list. Hope you figure it out! Welcome to HBZ
  19. Did you check it at the sensor too? Could be connector/wire related.
  20. +1 for shopping around, get online prices for Sears and they will do package deals. It NEVER hurts to ask. What tools have you been accustomed to? I think it's all preference, I work with tools daily (not cheep ones) and have had to 'modify' big $ socket/wrench ect... price adds up fast when a cheepo one would have done the same thing. Weigh your options, some stuff won't matter. With that said I have a mix of Sears, S.O. and H.F. Only broke a 1/2 to 3/8 reducer due to torque.
  21. You will have to weld in brackets/ support for the buckets. But other than that sounds like you have it covered.
  22. Don't forget the 500$ JDM headlight covers!! Edit: Forgot this....... ....."genuine Ferrari factory test drivers suit (such items gain points in a car show)."
  23. Great restraint Tony...... give your self a pat on the back!! Well it's great to hear all is well with the single carb. Enjoy the Z!
  24. Well if this was Zcar I would say bring it back to life like it left the factory........... BUT this is HYBRIDZ!!! Sooo, I say MOD it to get what you want out of it, keep the L block around for the slight chance you want to go back. Enjoy your time and car the way YOU want. Great find and Pics are a MUST!!
