Cameron, Thanks. They look great. It appears you drive it on the street. Do you have clearance issues and is it way louder than say a camaro LS1? Do you happen to have a video? Also, I see they are Magnaflow, what size. One last question. I graduated Downers South in 86, just curious if you are close by there? I looked at your album, Thanks for the pic. -
Timz looks good, does he have any other pictures or a web site?

Thanks for all of the input. I was hoping for kind of a low growl. At 42, I don't like to have to yell to talk to someone in the car. I think the super traps may be a bit loud for my tastes. Josh, it sounds like yours is what I am looking to acomplish but I will be running the shorties, so not sure how that will impact the sound. The other issue is clearence I was thinking some of it would fit in the tranny tunnel and then come out just in front of the rear wheels. I am not sure and I have searched but have yet to see where anyone has done this and it could be because it can't be done. I was just hoping someone has tried it or knows for sure would weigh in. Once agian thanks .

280Z Fuel tank options using factory components
worknprog replied to alainburon's topic in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
This is the route I am thinking about going. Oddjob has done all of the hard work and now you can reap the benifits. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/96955-a-%e2%80%9cstock%e2%80%9d-fuel-tank-solution/page__p__910658__hl__%2Bgas+%2Btank+%2Bsolution__fromsearch__1#entry910658 -
I have searched the forum but have not see where anyone has had daul exhaust exiting infront of rear wheels.I know that there is limited room for mufflers and ground clearance. I was wanting it not to be so loud kind of like the flowmasters that the mustangs but figured they wont fit. I was thinking something like. MagnaFlow 14416 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-14416/ or Hushpower 12518400 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HSH-12518400/

You guys were able to get the original belt to fit with Johns ac. My belt was a little long.

Sorry for the double post, but another up date. My boss has 96 Z71 and yesterday it over heated. He had it towed to a shop and they told him it was going to be $900.00 they were going to have to replace the rediator and all the other coolant parts. they were full of sludge and had corroded the radiator. He is taking off tomorrow to do the work himself. Just my two experiences.
-
I had a 96 grandprix and I was actually part of the class action suit and received a letter when they finally settled. I couldn't wait and had to do the work myself. It clogged my intake and ate the gasket in the cross over passage which inturn caused it to leak into the intake and then burned off. I had so many problems with that car that at 120k I sold it for $50.00. I won't be running that crap in ls1. Just my two cents.

Well, they finally caught him. I talked to Investigator rice and if he has a box with my name on it, it will be sent to me. http://video.cbs6albany.com/m/26458761/knox-man-arrested-in-international-internet-scam.htm http://video.cbs6albany.com/m/26479287/local-ebay-scams.htm http://www.northcountrygazette.org/2009/09/19/blow_up_turtle/

I finally had enough and contacted the http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx. I included the list of people that emailed me. I am also sending in my complaint to NY Attorney General with a copy of all my receipts http://www.oag.state.ny.us/bureaus/c...complaint.html. I had contacted a lawyer in Albany and he suggested The rockland county DA (Zugibe) has a new internet or white collar crime division. I filed with ic3. These are free. I will wait and if nothing comes of it I told lawyer that I would contact him. So after trying to help others, He send me this "Someone emailed me about what you were doing on the Internet. It wont go unnoticed." My reply is, not much of a threat. What are you going to do, not mail my property to me? Link to his blog http://wiringandpcmcustomers.blogspot.com/

Well, I used PAYPAl and have entered a dispute. I have a copy of all my receipts and his emails. I have contacted a lawyer. I am just trying to keep others from going through this nightmare with him. Thanks. If you have been taken by him I have the complaint form from the Attorny Generals office. send me an email and I will send it to you with the address. ls1done@yahoo.com

As some of you may know, I sent my harness and ecu to Jeff robert 851 Knox Cave Road Altamont, NY 12009 on July 27th 2008. A month and a half ago today, he said that he was done and when asked about it he said he just hadn't mailed it yet. In the end he has just stopped reponding. Two months ago I had contacted a law firm in albany and they said that they would take my case. Of course once he heard this he made all kinds of promises. I just sent him my last email and last phone call. If you have also been had by this joker, you can send me an e-mail to the address below. I am currently gaining a list of names and address to present to the Attorney General. I am posting this in multiple forums, so it can be cross referenced whenever one of his company names or his name and address are searched. Today he replied "Idk, After seeing that stuff you posted up everywhere I think I wont be going to the post office anytime soon. What do you think?" ls1done@yahoo.com Sincerely Jim H.

Jim,
You don't have to cut the transmission brace on the driver side. On the passenger side you will have to and you will have to hammer the passenger side tunnel also. But before you do that I suggest you to put the drive train in and bolt it up to the engine mounts. Then raise the trans and see where you need to hammer. After everything is cleared you can bolt up the trans and then you can install the A/C and accesories. Once it is bolted up you can get your measurement for the driveshaft. You will also need to hook up the shifter and linkage also and this would be the time. Hopefully by this time you will get your harness back then you can start routing the harness thru the fire wall and find a place to put the PCM. Man you're still got a lot of work ahead of you. You have to plan everything out ahead and write everything down like I did. Otherwise you will not know where to start when you look at the car. Shoot me an email of you plan maybe I can help. GL

Hi Vinh,
It is great to hear from you. It sure seems like you are making a lot of progress. I showed my wife some of your videos and she really liked your laker pipes. : ) I am not sure how I am going to run mine, but right now I guess I should worry more about getting my stuff back. I contacted the consumer protection board in NY and they sent him a letter. I told him on Monday that I just wanted him to send my stuff back to me. Of course, he said " I will see what I can do." Which really means , what ever leave me alone. Any way, I bought the a/c lines, compressor and drier from John. I am going to mount it tomorrow. I am hoping to test fit the motor soon. Do you know if I need to do some clearencing on the tranny tunnel for the 4l60e? I cut part of the brace off on both sides, but do I need to bang on the tunnel? Well, I had better go. I will try to catch you again later.

Hi Jim,
Yes it's been awhile since we talked. How is your family doing? How is the project coming along? I just got back working on my Z. I am making good progress on it. I got the undercoat and the sound deadener off and fixed a few rust spots. I just redesign my LS1 engine crossmember and bolt the engine back on. The engine now move back 1/4"so I have to slot the mounting hole in the floor. I have to put the exhaust back on and the stock crossmember back on to make sure everything still clear. After that the engine will come out for the last time and I can start painting the bottom of the car and the engine bay. I am hoping to finish this project up next summer.
How far did you get with your project? Did you get any luck with the guy who took your hearness? Let me know if you need any help. I gotto eat my late diner now. Talk to you later.
Vinh

Ruzn, I appreciate the offer, but It was for my LS1. Thanks anyway.

David, Do a search on Auto Computer Technologies or Jeff Robert 851 Knox Cave Road Altamont, NY 12009 (518) 872-0421. Since I am at home that was what I did to paste his info just now. I have kept my messages to him in my work email. What amazes me is that you would question me without even doing a little inquiry. About once a month for eight months I would just inquire as to when it would be completed, then he stopped responding altogether. Like I told him my father said you can always start off nice and go ugly, but it is real hard to start off ugly and then become nice. I contacted a lawyer two weeks ago and gave him two more weeks to try to finish it up, but once again he has stopped reponding. I figure that I am out the ECU, Harness and $350.00. I was just trying to Keep others from being in the same boat as me.
-
Goober, thanks. Jeff said that he was going to have it done. I figure I am not out anything to wait a week or two to see if he comes through. If he doesn't , I will just go ahead as planned.

I am posting this to try and keep other Hybrid users from being taken. I sent Jeff Robert my ecu and Harness back on July 27,2008 and still have not recieved it. I purchased it on ebay and I went through his feed back and it was all good except for a couple. Then after about two months he pulled everything off of ebay. Yesterday I sent him an email and told him I wanted my stuff back and of course I got another excuse. Yesterday I also contacted a lawyer in albany new york. Their consult fee is $200.00 per hour. I have found many people on the internet that have been taken by this individual. He seems to create webpages long enough to take money and property and then the page disappears. So far these have been the pages that he has created. PCMAmerica.com musclesportsandimports.com AutoComputerTech.com http://www.eastcoastengines.com

Well, since Vinh put his up I guess I will need to add mine. Mine is a 75 280z and I am in the middle of putting in an 02 ls1 with the 4l60e. I am using the JCI kit, BTW John is a really nice and understanding guy. I bought the engine and tranny in December of 07 and started june of 08. MY kids and I have sanblasted the engine bay and por 15 it. Last week I installed the mounts in car . I am hopeing to have it back on the road before Summers end. Below is a less efficient alternative to an ls1 .

Did you ever get it figured out? I am almost exactly at the same point. I see that no one ever posted as to what the connectors are for.
