Welcome to the forums!
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rules if you have not already.
Please note you have posted in the FAQ section, that section is generally for walk throughs and information posts and thus does not allow replies. I have moved your post to the brake and suspension section where people will be able to reply to your post.
I am not exactly familiar with that kit, but I believe it is the same as the maxima calipers and brackets and as a result that is a fairly regularly reported item where the pad grabs the rotor completely but does not utilize the inner portion of the rotor.
Similar to the picture found in the FAQ section.
It has been shown to be not problematic and I believe you will be fine, but I will let others chime in.
Thank you for this. Just what I was looking for
-
Did you figure this out? I've been sitting on the kit for awhile and just got around to buying the calipers but I got the calipers from autozone. Almost same price so to avoid the time delay for a merely 10 buck savings, I picked them up locally. Any updates before I start? I got C8166 and C8167 brake calipers.

Can we post all questions here? dont wanna thread jack
-
No unfortunately i picked up a 95 non vvti dizzy 2jzge. I was able to connect all the wires to the best of my knowedge and my ecu connects to my laptop. I have 12v to injectors and coils and other sensors 5v. My tps reads backwards. At closed throttle it reads 80 percent open. At WOT it reads close to zero. Tried swapping the wires out and no change. I already contacted softopz. Im wondering, is using the oem harness and a plug and play ecu better? I dont care whether i use a dizzy or coils. Stock injectors or aftermarket. I just wanna drive my car. 300 hp is plenty. THe car has no reinforcements whatsoever but i wanna get this wiring out of the way before moving on to other things.
-
well ive made it this far doing my own research. Thanks for the input.
-
1. IDK i just want a decent hp for street use/daily. What should i use for this issue?>
2. Im searching for some now. rc's are pretty cheap
3. Seems like theres plenty of space. Ill line it up monday . i forgot my toolbox key today.
-
Hi sorry for not responding earlier. Kinda forgot about this post lol. Ok so heres my set up and honestly, its very basic and not crazy.
2JZ-GE from a 1995 GS300
2006 CD009
LQ9 coils
Stock injectors.
aiming for 300-500 hp. Mild rebuild (rings gapped for boost, looser clearances, stock headgasket)
MS3x with harnesses
AEM wideband
Ebay everything. Throttle body, mounts, intake plenum.
EGR deleted. Oil level deleted. Distributor cap and rotor deleted. (saw on another post that dizzy is used for cam position sensor).
Manual boost controller.
-
Thank you so much. So i took the original engine harness and cut the plugs off each sensor and the obvious labeled wires from MS harness are being routed towards the sensors. I have basic wiring skills (civic k swaps, radios and diagnostics)
-
This is the diagram i found online. I would like to run coils as well. Most of the NA-T builds here just show pictures of the wiring being done not so much in detail. CHecked sticky as well. skips over wiring.

Hello everyone, I'm sure this has been brought up before but ive researched for the past few weeks and with several people throwing opinions at me, i need some clarification. I'm going bald stressing over this.
I have a 75 280z
2jzge rebuilt na-t.
First shop -" Go microsquirt". Their cost to wire up - $800 and supposedly 2 weeks. 4 weeks in, never touched it.
Second shop-"Go megasquirt assembled unit since its cheaper and we'll wire it up." $750. Bought the ems and they said it was the wrong one. I called DIY and they said it was perfect just needs to be wired up. Shop said something about batch fire wouldnt work or something.
3rd shop is my auto tech school-$free but they wouldnt touch the megasquirt v2. So i gave them my laptop amd told them to order the f**ken unit i need. They ordered the MS3x. Its beeb 2 weeks and my instructor hasnt touched my car or even given me a chance to start. Personally i feel as if they don't know what to do. I'm ready to do it myself.
Is there a write up on how to wire this up. By now i regret not going plug n play since thats what its costing already. The diagram online looks simple and im ready to take a chance on trying it that way. I do have the original engine harness but all jacked up. All plugs are there though. So do i cut the pigtails off and splice into the labeled Megasquirt harness to their respected wires? Whats the easiest way to go about this? I have 3 ems in my possession and this was supposed to be "budget build". This is the unit i have. Any write ups or advice other than "buy pnp"?

Miata seats and rails to 79912 please. Thanks
-
Question, did you change the tranny mount yet? About to mock mine up and thinking of using the frame as well but wanted to check in to see how yours is holding up
-
El Paso dont care either. 25% tint. No emmisions needed on 25 year old cars. Basic safety (lights horn brakes and tires). Thats it. Only cost me $8 to pass inspection July 2017.
-
Yes, ebay not easy.
Yes fwd face. Throttle body, just anyone that fits. What trouble did yall have?
Sorry i meant rear sump. I wrote this really late lol.
I'm still debating on ignition. I dont mind distributor but i will need a spacer on the turbo.
AutoSport Engineering on Facebook makes the adapter kits and flywheels as well. Made to order so the wait is about 2 weeks.
Clutch is Action clutch and local buy. New and guy didn't need it anymore.
-
Cute ain't it?
-
I've ran ebay stuff before in Hondas reliable and more hp than I'm wanting in this set up so i don't count them out.
-
Ill chime in on my current spending.
Set up is
1975 280z
1995 GS300 junkyard 2jzge -$200
2007 Cd009 -$600
Mounts -$300
Microsquirt harness -$80
FWD face manifold -$100
Ebay Turbo manifold -$100
Ebay GT45 -$200
Rear sump junkyard -$25
Adapter plate w/flywheel -$700
Clutch kit -$150
Fuel rail -$40
So far $2500. Add another grand or so in misc.
All I'm doing is head gasket,head studs rings and bearings.
-
You showed pictures with the cd009 and adapter plate. How did it fit in the car before you cut the tranny?
-
cx mount kit doesnt come with a cross member for a cd009 trans. The kit is 500 but it includes the crossmember for a r154 tranny. I added two more bolts per mount on top to stiffen it a bit and got it to sit better. Also i realized its wobbly because also the tranny isnt on so theres no rear support. And now with the two added bolts, its better. So ill muscle through the lesser quality and settle for the $1000 savings.
-
This is how mine sits with the cx mounts. I dont like the quality. One bolt to hold oit down doesnt look good. Very wobbly.
-
ok thanks bro. I was worried id have to send my car back to the body shop for cut and welding.
So far i got my CX mounts, Engine, harness, ecu and rear sump pan. Total spent $610. Hopefully i can remain under budget. About the only good thing about living in a border city is the cheap competitive prices.Got any more updates or tips.
-
sorry my first Z wasnt really thinking. I figured out my problem. Thanks
-
Quick question, i saw on a couple threads where yall are cutting the shock towers and rewelding, is that necessary to fit the 2jz? also ill be doing the cd009 trans with the 2j and the cx mounts, i dont mind cutting the interior for the shifter but how far back will it be shifter be? My interior is gutted
-
Damn just started following and Im going to run the exact same set up as you in my 1975. '93 Ge with a CD009. Really hoping for calm seas. How was the oil?
AWD 260z build
in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
