Thanks james, I am a pretty good welder but will definitely get alot of practice before making one of these things. Are equal length primaries a must? Or will there be an improvement even with something more simple and basic that flows better?? On a side note, your manifold almost looks like a SU carb intake manifold! cool. Thanks guys... Evan ....

Cool, the same stuff i used to create my intercooler plumbing. Im kinda doing this for fun, and experience. Keeps me out of trouble ya know LOL. Thanks for the replies guys, the truck headers look badass! Im thinking of using an old header flange from an L6 motor for a flange. I can find someone with a crapazz looking header im sure. All i wanna do is make it, and if it works jet hot it. Thanks guys, keep it coming - Evan

Woo hoo, encouragement! Thanks drax. Now does any one know how much those little weldels cost??? Evan PS.. keep in mind my motor only sees about 1k miles a year at this point anyway.

Chase, im just looking for a winter project really. If thats the case, i dont need one that bad LOL. Evan

I know it wouldnt be totally ideal but i would like to have a turbo exhaust header and make it myself. Just kinda looking for a zcar winter project. If im crazy tell me, if im not let me know the best way to go. I know corky bell talks about weld el's but im also worried about the thing cracking all the time. Evan

Ron i have a freind in TX running NOS that has done it. I have seen pictures. Unfortuantely the rearend blows up after like two runs or something breaks. Its a full drag car btw. IE no dash and stuff. Ev

Dude, id keep it, or fabricate something to do its job, make it easier to install and go that route. Hrm jet hot coated heat shield? That would be nice. Evan

Evan OOPS>... i didnt wait long enough for it to post! A spacer should be relatively easy to make man, just take your time. PSS... dont you want to run some sort of external gate?

I like webbers, but never wanted the tuning hassel. Its pretty expensive to do yourself, IE.. jetting and stuff is hard for the unexperienced like myself. I went the ztherapy SUS and never looked back! They are awesome quality, and work wonderfully. I dont have em anymore but i really did like them before i went turbo. Evan PS.. .To do it again i would use an SDS programmable FI. More expensive but great tunability and driveability.

Got me beat, i chose my paint color the day before they sprayed it! Talk about procrastination. Nice color, elanor is the badest thing ive seen in awhile! Hope it turns out the way you want it!!!! Evan PS when is it being painted?

Cool thread, didnt see many inliners here (KEVIN!?) so I figured I would post too. Suspension/wheels -Ground control coilovers -17x8 OZ monte's with 245-40-17 re730 potenzas -MSA swaybar kit -Tokico illuminas -Strut tower bars -Urathane (of course) Engine -L28 turbo -turbonetics hybrid -Greddy profec a boost controller -boost, egt and a/f gauge along with fuel pressure and that crap. -NPR I/C -Nissan T5 trans -3" mandrel exh. with dynomax loud azz muff. -SX fuel pump/regulator -Forged lower end with comp at 8.5 to one and bored to 2.95 liters -SDS management -audi wastegate on a pipe welded into the stock exhaust manifold. -Electric fan conversion (painless rules!) -delco CS130 alternator -blah blah Stereo -Tube driver amps, crossover and line driver -Behinger DSP8024 (pro audio, but converted to 12v) -Vifa components in custom kicks -Clarion 9255 cd player -Neutrik balanced cables for the TD stuff. -Audiobahn 12" aluminum cone in the hatch in the spare tire well in a custom glas enclosure. Well, thats pretty much all im bringing to the table. Just got the alternator working again so its time to finish base tuning and apply some BOOOOST. Evan

"true z" Might want to drop that attitude if you hang out around here, you already stepped on a couple toes. Just a freindly reminder. Evan

Thanks alot dude Evan

I have to say, after seeing alot of pictures and information the v8 just HAS to work better than the L6 in autocross. The SR20DET would be interesting too. I think its even lighter and its a lowly four banger. You probally need that torque for the track though. I used to "frown" upon V8 conversions because i was hardcore datsun. Well im still an inliner. I have learned that the badass thing about the z is how versatle is can be. You can fit ANYTHING in that engine compartment!!! I love the z for its lines, and possiblities. Not what it was when it was produced! V8 dude.. do it - Evan PS... do the transes way more than the L6 ones? Never dealt with one before.

Whatsup mang.. Bascially yes it will fit without too much problem. be ready for custom motor mounts and everything else associated with the swap. I THINK someone else is runnin that motor.. .stony perhaps? I am considering one for a 240sx my buddy has. The going rate seems to be 4 to 5 k and im sure you could build an absoluetly wicked GN motor, V8 or turbo motor for the price of the stock sr motor. Also keep in mind that you are limited to japspec parts so they arent so easy to get in the states. I am running a turbo powerplant btw... Hope this helps - Evan

Nitrous on an L motor aint no new thing. James 240ztt has done it before. The only reason i see nitrous as useless is due to traction. If it were a full t4 id be all over that like flies on crap. We will see what the coming week holds for my engine. I havent run boost yet, no alternator for a few months. WEll tis up and running like a charm so im going to do some tuning!! Evan

Awesome thanks scottie! Evan

Guys I am SERIOUSLY considering the GN powerplant for my buddies project 240sx. The jap spec 2.0 is cool but ive never seen a gn motor in one. I need weights on the trans and motor, dimensions to see if it will fit and any other relavant information that will help me ensure that this will fit in the engine bay with the auto tranny behind it. Thanks guys - Evan

Hey guys, one of my buddies is paying me some good money to build him a rice rocket 240sx. We already have the car and plan to get a sr20det for it. My question is whether any of you have done this, seen it done, or know where a good place to get the power plant is. I figured its a hybrid so why not ask. GEE, i wonder if the grand national motor might fit! Whew, may be a change of plans here. Just thought about that. Ill have to take some measurements. Evan PS... any one else notice im OBSESSED with the GN drivetrane? LOL

Dude thats FAST. What are you running for an engine? I know its l28t just wondered which turbo etc..... Thanks man - Evan

Hey dude, i noticed a difference with my urathane bushings too. They tend to transfer more noise and vibration. That COULD be what your noticing. Evan PS.. mine doesnt vibrate, make sure your halfshafts and drive shaft arent coming loose! Mine LOVE to do that.

Hell for that price ill take two!!! Thanks guys, im going to look into this soon. One of the major flaws in my car is the crapass windsheld. It needs to be nice and shiny Unfortunately, my hatch glass aint great and niehter are my side windows. Evan

Vic brit sells a new windshield for 100??? If this is true, im all over that deal. If i misunderstood.. .oh well Evan

Clint, blaupunkt makes some very good equipment for the price. They have a new class-T line that should be shipping soon. Its all digital. The amps are VERY clean, extremely small, and put out so little heat you could easily pack foam around one and not have it overheat. Pretty cool eh? - Evan PS.. I had a set of quart components in my truck. They really take abuse. It took me 4 years to blow a tweet. Man was that long overdue. I was way overpowering those speakers.
