Z Driver

I got the hose on today and all the manifolds back on the engine. Thanks for the help.

What is the diameter or better yet, the hose size for the oil inlet on the stock L28ET oil pan? I don't really need the hose length, I already know that. I would like to know because I'm traveling to work on my car tomorrow and I need that part before I can put the manifolds back on. I would go out and measure myself, but I'm 100 miles away from the car right now. I would like to buy the hose before I head down. Thank you.

I finally got around to putting in the turbo engine I bought for my ZX. My problems lies in I do not have the bolts that hold the engine mounting brackets to the engine mount insulators. The body shop pulled the old engine and didn't bother saving those blots. That shop is now out of business and I do not have the proper hardware to secure this engine anymore. I found some bolts that threaded in around the garage, but they are far too weak to use. I was wondering if anybody could measure the proper bolt size and grade for a 280ZX. I'm not talking about the four bolts that hold the bracket to the block; it's the four bolts that hold the bracket to the mount on the crossmember. Thank you.

It looks great. I can't wait to see the finals pics. I like the molded head light buckets.

Laguna Seca Blue from the E46 M3, right?

Nice results, your setup is very close to what mine is going to be when I get it installed.

I like this site because the BS is kept to a minimum. I have so few posts here, but that doesn't mean this site hasn't been helpful. I've spent countless hours here reading old threads and learning so much.

That's a fantastic looking car with more than enough power to back it up. I love green cars.

I have the original G-tech. It's pretty fun and accurate. I've found the HP function just too hard to work. I don't know the exacts weights of any of my cars either, so that doesn't help. It's a good too to see how well modifications affected your car. Even if it wasn't accurate, you are at least using the same method of gathering data so it's valid. Be sure the surface out are testing on is perfectly flat too.

I wasn't expecting the connectors to be on it on anyhting like that. I've done much research on it and was just verifying if there's anything I might be leaving out or forgetting before I order. I have a 240SX TPS, I'm using all the Datsun sensors excet IAT which is going to be GM. I already have an O2 sensor as well. Is the relay board very helpful? I've heard both sides and cannot get a clear answer.

I finally decided I'm going to do MS over SDS. Since I'm going fuel only, they seem about the same amount of work to install and MS is cheaper. I want the MS unit prebuilt and would also like a built harness. Is this ebay ad a good deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7977547996&category=33553&sspagename=WDVW or sould I go with RS Autosport? If I go with RS, what should I order from them. My application is for a L28ET using MSD 6BTM for ignition needs. Thanks.

KYB makes some decent replacements that aren't too expensive. The ride with them will be very close to stock which is a plus in a daily driver.

I have the MSD 6BTM. I haven't installed it yet but I have looked in the manual. There is no mention of disconnecting the vaccum, but the manual is not specific to the 6BTM, it covers all the 6 series MSD products. I'm sure there are some on here that have actual experience with this and can help you.
