Anyone have a fuel rail they have decided not to use that fits the Turbo Supra injectors?

Thanks for taking the time to elaborate on the subject further Paul, and adding the point about the BMEP.

10:1 is pretty low once you figure out that the resulting dynamic compression with that cam will be something in the 6:1 range. Triples or doubles doesn't change that fact, that cam would do much better with 12:1 or 13:1 with those duration numbers but then you'd be running race fuel, its an all out track cam. I wouldn't use anything with more than 240 @.050" with 10:1 compression.

That thing is huge, not sure it would even lope with 290@.050" duration, it certainly won't make any low end torque which you may want with autocrossing. I would think a 280 or 290 with something like 240-245 degrees at .050" would be much more driveable and responsive, just my 2 cents.

Looking to buy a headliner in very good condition to fit a '77 280z, preferably in the NW due to shipping size.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Besides the obvious need for the fuel pump relay, what other circuits are you guys using the relay board for, electric fans etc?

I'm curious for those who are running MS-1 PCBV3, MS-N-Se or similar in a 280 L28ET conversion, are there any pros or cons to wiring the car using the relay board and associated wiring vs using the MS wiring harness? I'm thinking for ease of installation that just the wire harness would be the way to go.

I'm hoping zcarnut is still around and can elaborate on the following statement he made: There is no such thing as a single “1980-84" Maxima bracket. There was an 1981 bracket (which you can use with the 1979-81 280ZX rear caliper) and a 1982-83 bracket (which you use with the 1982-83 280ZX rear caliper). The 1984 Maxima rear brackets were welded on. My question is the welded '84 bracket the same as the '82-83 bracket (pn 44155-04S10) or is it just a waste of time trying to use the '84 bracket. I'd like to do the same conversion as zcarnut posted in the sticky with 200SX calipers and 280zx rotors using the 44155-04S10 bracket or is there another combination that must be used with the'84 welded bracket? Thanks for all your help. Scott

Great pics, I like the aggressive stance that front end gives the car, looks especially good with the flares.

Looks mean and aggressive, I'd paint the bumpers matt black to go with the theme.

We used mineral spirits in a spray bottle and some scrappers that worked pretty good, messy though.

Sold to BayArea510.

If the OP isn't interested in them I am.

That looks like a wheel spacer to move the wheel outboard, and not the spacer for the rotor.

Steve, Did you ever have a chance to verify how much thinner your spacer can be machined to fit the 280 hubs? TIA "If you want to use the 260/280Z hub the rotor spacer can be thinner. I think the difference is 8mm but I am quoting from memory. I need to re-measure my spare hubs to verify."

Great info guys, thank you very much. I think I'll go with the S12+8, powder coat them and not mess around with grinding. Regards.

Does anyone know if the 15" or 16" 'Rewinds' will clear the Toyota S12W calipers without having to use a spacer, or how about the S12+8 calipers without a spacer? TIA

Can someone explain how you can use Supra 440 injectors with a stock fuel rail because they are "O" ringed and not barbed like stock?

Perhaps a rising rate fuel pressure regulator would prevent the engine from leaning out if that is the case.

May a good alternative would be a set of the Robello outer springs for about $80, keeping the stock inners and the stock retainers.

These old cars are notorious for rusty junk in the fuel tanks. I'd check the fuel filter and make sure you are getting good fuel pressure. Once the fuel delivery is straightened out, a little more cam would help extend your RPM range. Due to your low compression you'll need to stick with a short duration cam (stage 1-260 advertised duration) similar to the Nissan "C" cam.
