I dont know if you would call this failing. I mean they r just coming off as if i never even torqued them

Hey everyone last year i noticed my harmonic balncer got loose so i took it off and put a spare one on and torqued it up with a new keyway. Problem solved right? Wrong. For the past few months ive been smelling oil and i couldnt find it anywhere. Then just a week a go i was driving and parked the car got out and noticed oil smoke out the engien bay. Turns our this harmonic balancer also got loose and actually broke off lucky it didnt hit something. I have not checked but i hope the leyway slot in the crank is ok. I plan to get another balancer and keyway but does anyone else have this issue. I will use loctite on the bolt this time but what is the torque spec cuz whatever the spec ive been using is obviously too little for my l28et i think it was around 130

My late 74 260z window regulators are garbage i want to find a good used set somewhere online but i dont know if ony a certain few years will fit or if myabe all 280z omes will fit. Lemme know thanks

Okay thanks. And so will a 4 speed bell housing still work with machining?? And i believe im looking at a 71E now. Both sites ive found for rebuilds say its a 71E it was just confusing. And so that one would still be strong enough also. I beat on my car but this tranny will probably never see more than 350 hp and im not even close to that yet

Compared to the reasearch ive done this chart seems incorrect it says 240sx has a fs5w71h and the truck id be getting has a fs5w71e. Ughh i hate when info doesnt match. I always thought the 240sx was fs5w71c and the truck was a g boy oh boy. Sooo if the truck has a e will it fit and still be as strong. Also if theres a code to what each letters and numbers mean that i dont know please chime in and tell me

Okay great and the gearing should be what you posted earlier right?? Now correct me if im wrong but my 4 speed trans housing will still work with machining correct? I hope. The article i read was unclear. Only mentioned 5 speeds

Wow okay thanks everyone for the replies. Much apreciated. But none reallly answer my question aside from it being the same lenght as a 71b. As long as i can still use and machine an l series bell housing, use a short throw shifter ,still make a decently simple mount, it can handle more power than my 4 speed, and the gearing isnt too crazy cuz i do autocross. Then i really want to do this swap. Mainly just for a 5th gear. I cant stand driving at 4500 in 4th any longer lol. Kinda hard to find this information i wish nissan had their own chart for every transmission. It should be a fs5w71g if im correct and its out of a 2wd 93 with a ka24e. Can anyone confirm this or post up some info they might have?

Will a 93 nissan gardbody 2wd fs5w71g 5 speed fit like a 240sx ka trans will. I want to machine the bellhousing of a l series 4 speed i have to make it fit. I can pick it up for cheaper than a 240sx trans and im gonna rebuild it while im at it. Im told it could work but is it just as strong and is the outside any bigger or longer??. Cant find any info on it. Thanks

Hello again. Seems as though i always have trouble with my setup so the current issue is very bad sync loss it makes the car undriveable sometimes when other times it doesnt happen for 5 minutes. Datalog shows sync loss reason 2. Ms2 Stock injectors with resistors Diy trigger wheel Ngk plugs and wires Aside from fixing and upgrading simple things (radiator intercooler headgasket timing chain brake upgrade) my engine bay has stayed the same for about a year So realistically ive touched everything haha. But it hasnt always done this and my wiring mess has always been the same so electrical noode and ground dont seem like the sore thumb but they still could be it.

How much rotational play is normal on the l28et oil pump shaft? Absolutely none or a little bit. I have a sync loss error reeking havoc and i think it might be that because my distributor rotor can rotate back and forth a hair. It moves about 1 mm of rotation back and forth when looking thru the holes in the DIY trigger wheel. If thats too much what woul be the fix. New gear and shaft? Or maybe some shims?

74 260z with r200 diff and l28et. I want to do the 240sx transmission conversion. My friend has a donor transmission but its from a dual cam ka24 240sx. Will this work or doe only the single cam 240sx transmission work. Ive read some mixed info. As long as there is no difference aside from the bellhousing then its a go. Thankyou

Thanks for the replys i think a t5 will be good enough if i can source the tranny and driveshaft.. however which of those above listed trannys have different splines or are they the same ik up to z31 300zx was the same but i dont know about the rest

Hey i was wondering what are my transmission options for my l28et swapped 260z. I have the stock 4 speed with a brand new south bend stage 2 feramic and organic 400 ft ib clutch. So i am looking for the best route on which transmission to choose. Source parts from a 280zxt or 300zxt with their borg warners. Or Other nissan transmissions with the same clutch spline.. Or possibly if its not too hard modifying another transmission to make it all work like it should. Or is it possible to get stronger internals for my stock 4 speed. Stock r200 i forget what ratio. Also i want to keep my factory speedo working normal. Sounds like my only option is the t5 from the 82 and 83 280zxt right?? I really dont need another gear i would just prefer to not have to drive home without a gear from autocross this upcoming summer once my car has more power im hoping for around 300hp and 350tq in the future. I dont drop the clutch higher than 4k but on the stock tranny and a new strong clutch i know it isnt going to last long. thankyou

Anyone who has run a 3 inch straight pipe on an l28et with the stock turbo. How bad does it drone. My 2 1/4 with a glasspack muffler drones pretty bad right now and im going 3 inch this winter. Just curious what im getting myself into. I dont mind the sound but the girlfriend i can tell gets sick of yelling at me when im 5 inches away

Uhm n42 is not the block. Or engine. N42 would be a casting on the intake manifold. Im a bit confused by your question. F54 block dished pistons p90 head 14 psi intercooler and 3 inch exhaust. Sounds like that will be in the ballpark for the power u want.

Im up in western mass. I have some spare l26 engines and a spare f54 block with turbo insides. The turbo block is worth more money id say but it isnt going to use sitting under a tarp. For the right price i could drop it off but no idea when.. i actually got the block in new haven. Small world.

Hello everyone. Not a huge issue here but just looking for some opinions. When my car is warmed up and idleing it cuts power to the fuel pump randomly and speratically. Occationally causing it to stall. It is only for a split second however sometimes it happens a few times in a row. If i rev it up by even 100 rpms it seems to go away. Im thinking either circuit board problems, bad settings, or bad connections

So my car does have an EIM okay. So cut that out with the resistor then the blue wire should work with the tac?. White and black wire doesnt have to be connected?

Which one blue or white with black stripe. I think i tried a few combinations and none worked.

Is it possible to easily wire my 74.5 260z tach to the coil and or megasquirt so my tachometer can work properly. Pretty sure my tach is like a 280z tach not a 240z tach. Blue wire and white with black stripe wire. I connected them to the coil and the car foesnt start with them connected i asdumr this is because its sending voltage to the coil and interfering with the megasquirt spark. Any ideas?. Thanks

Could my tune possibly work. Has been running damn good recently.. not sure if your using diy auto tunes trigger wheel or not those should be the only different settings as mine is basically stock.

Hello again. My l28et is running very very rich and im sure of it. Spark plugs are black. I thought i ruined my o2 sensor so i go another one and AFR is still reading at 10. Fuel pressure is perfect. I have stock injectors however i have no resistors in the wires to them and each set of 3 injectors is connected to a 20 amp fuse. My fuel settings should be perfect according to lots of research on the forum. If anyone has used a ms2 on a nearly stock l28et please tell me if you used resistors or not and why. Ive read that the ms2 flyback board should compensate for this but ive also read that its only for 4 injectors?. Vacuum is at 14in/hg when it should be at 19. If i put my stock resistor block in the wiring will that affect anything badly even if its not the issue?

New o2 and aeromotive FPR installed. Fuel pressure is perfect now and its still running pig rich. This is a megasquirt or wiring issue

I recomend getting the l28et trigger wheel and following the instructions from DIY. https://www.diyautotune.com/support/tech/hardware/nissan-trigger-disc/ Without you knowing a bunch about the wiring its hard to tell where the issue is. The trigger wheel is super easy to replace but make sure you dont put it in upside down.

My lc-2 is faulty and im also working on that. Currently it is disabled in tunerstudio. The car is definately running rich. And im nearly certain that all my tunerstudio settings are correct. You say you can tune around higher fuel pressure however the car likes to idle with a VE value of 1. This is clearly very wrong as they should be somewhere around 20. All my injector settings are next to perfect if not perfect. If there is any other settings that could cause running that rich what would it be. Accel enrich? The engine is running very rich the spark plugs get black with soot after less than 30 miles.
