    Really good to know! Was it expensive to get it repaired?
  3. mforget
    Yeah i saw those.... Pretty expensive and i have to get it shipped to canada. I was trying to find a cheaper option. I will make some testing with my 240z sender this weekend.

    Hi, i had a hard time finding a replacement 280z fuel sender for my 77' so i finally bought a 240z one since a nissan dealer got them in stock and they are supposedly interchangeable. Now my question is, how should i position it in my 280z tank? With the float working side to side OR front to rear? Thanks in advance!

    Yep thanks wiring is ok. I found the problem, the voltage meter got damaged/jammed by sandlast media going in there during restoration process.... Will try to find another gauge..... Thanks everyone for your help!

    Gauge is not reading and light wasnt working yes.... I did a wiring cleanup when doing my swap and the charging light is not hooked anymore, but i have 12v on the gauge red/white wire. Seems like the gauge needs something else to work correctly, it was working before my swap.... I can get the charging light working by putting voltage on the blue wire but the gauge is still not reading voltage at all....

    Hi, anyone got the stock volt gauge working with an ls swap? My sytem is charging according to my fitech handheld but nothing on the gauge. I presume my problem is the charging light not working on the gauge, bulb is good i tested it, but i dont know where to hook up the "L" wire on my LS alternator... Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Hey thanks Miles! Ill take some mesurements and order the lines. ;)

    Good infos there.... Thats pretty much what i came up with.... Would just need to know the right length for braided lines.... Im about to order 12" lines for both front and rear wich i presume would be ok..... Ill probably get those lines witht the 90 degree adapter at the end to connect to the calipers....

    Thread resurection....What length do you guys use for the braided flex lines on a setup like this (S12w) Im also wondering for the rear with maxima calipers.... Just want to order the right lines. Thanks in advance!

    Do you run any proportioning valve at all?
  14. mforget
    Hi, im doing my brake setup on my 280z build using S12W calipers front and maxima calipers rear, 15/16 front master, stock proportioning valve delete. I tought i had to put my proportioning valve on the rear brake lines as usual but now ive read on another thread that the maxima calipers are not well matched to the S12W resulting in too much front bias........ Any confirmation on this and is there a fix for the problem? Thanks in advance!

    Yeah my mistake....

    Same for me.....Thanks for the help!

    Hi, anyone knows the approximate torque needed for the nut after a pinion seal replacement? I know its supposed to be a lot less than what the FSM reccomend but i cant get a good answer on this.... Thanks a lot!

    Hi, i just tried to install my steering rod on my build using cxracing complete swap kit, seems like the rod hits the left side engine mount preventing me from bolting the steering rod upper coupler. I will have to modify the engine mount to make the rod clear. Just wanted to know if anyone else ran into this problem. Thanks in advance!

    Hi, sorry if this has been already discussed but after all my research on the web, i didnt find any clear answer concerning the use of the stock 280z clutch master cylinder with a T56 6 speed tranny... Is it adequate or no? I know people do replace them with more recent units from tilton etc... but is it a necessity? Thanks in advance!
  20. mforget
    Yess in fact! Thanks!

    Hey thanks for the reply! I already have the stagg shocks and vogtland springs in stock.... I would try it without camber plates if i am sure that everything will clear.... Should have go with the BC coilovers.....I would not have this dilemma right now.... Thanks for your help! Im in Quebec province.

    Hi, im doing a full restoration of my 280z and i am wondering if front camber plates/rear camber bushings are mandatory for a street build running 15x9 -15 offset wheels and 245 wide tires at 4 corners under zg flares, on stock replacement stagg shocks and vogtland springs. Any advice on this would be really appreciated since i would weld the camber plates if needed before repainting my engine bay. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the advices, im still looking at different options.... I must take track pads availlability in consideration too.... No problems with wilwood calipers in that department but for the toyota calipers choice is pretty limited....
  24. mforget
    Dont get me wrong, i dont change my rotors that often, not even once a year with some track use. But when i have to, its nice to have some replacements availlable locally, epecially during a driving event that you have paid for... Its sucks to have to end your day or weekend because of warped/cracked rotors...
  25. mforget
    Silvermine wilwood kits use modified sentra rotors if im not mistaken. Not something you can buy at your local auto parts.... Track season is short over here so i want to limit downtime as much as possible....i guess i just have to keep spare rotors in my garage.... And i dont like those fancy drilled rotors....blank rotors works best for me....arizona z car seems to have a great setup.....
