  1. Is the noise filter enabled. I have MS2. When I disabled it I had ignition issues above 3000rpm. I realize you have MS3 and said you didn't think you had noise issues. I didn't think I did either until I disabled it.
  2. On my 260 the turn signals are disabled when the flasher is turned on. The turn signal circuit is routed through this switch. Unplugging this switch will also disable the turn signals on my car. Not sure if its the same on the 280. Your switch may be the problem.
  3. I work in Oakland. Live in the Tri-valley area. The shop you got the wheels from is in San Leandro?
  4. I have a 260 that I converted to a 5 speed. I think there is 2 safety relays.The wiring diagram is hard to read unless you increase the size of it. I ran a wire from the ignition switch to the coil side of a relay and hooked up the main power to the starter solenoid from the battery (fused). The ignition switch is known to cause a voltage drop over the years along with other factors.
  5. Have you tried output test mode for the coil? I confirmed the coil driver circuit was working on mine that way.
  6. Things are going good. Just got the 260 up and running with the L28et and MS2.
  7. Nice. Did you sell the other the other 240 shell? I saw it listed in Craigs list a while back.
  8. You can do just that. The weld will rust though. Unless it is coated also. I have done it a number of times. It's not ideal but it if you want to tie into an existing mild steel exhaust system like I did it will hold up just fine.I used E70s wire in my MIG. I have also TIG welded mild steel to 304 stainless with er308 rod. It works. Again its not ideal. Some turbo manifolds use mild steel flanges with stainless runners with good results. I wouldn't worry about it if you had it done. Just my .02
  9. What's up? Sorry to hear you wrecked your other car.No stickers on this one?
  10. No its not. It may be an age thing though. You can do them with a manual tranny too .
  11. Also depends if you use a short or long nose differential housing?
  12. This is an early model 74 260. Its the same mustache bar as my 73 240 was.Click on this link> http://s1096.beta.photobucket.com/user/ozzzzz1/library/260z%20rear%20diff%20from%20sti
  13. How much HP are you making or plan on making? If memory serves the c4 has an aluminum differential housing and a dana44 doesn't it?
  14. The stock manifold is a t3. The t3/t4 hybrids should bolt up to the manifold without an adaptor. I guess I missunderstood what you were looking for. I have a t4 turbo and had to use an adaptor . Make sure the turbo you get has a internal wastegate.
  15. What t4 turbo do you have?
  16. The fuel rail also needs to be supported with brackets. Otherwise it will sag over onto the stock throttle linkage. The rubber hose isn't enough support by itself.
  17. Is your tach output set in tunerstudios to fidle?
  18. Try ztherapy http://www.ztherapy.com/products/masterprices/master_price_list.htm They have everything for SU carbs. I believe they are 5 bucks each.
  19. The axle floats between the CV joints on your set up? It will make contact with these endcap stops. The pictures I saw of the steel Modernmotorsports ones after some use were gouged up pretty good. Thats why I asked. I have a set on my r230 setup and I was concerned after seeing the pics of the used steel ones.Just food for thought.
  20. Are those aluminum. If so the steel axles will chew them up.
  21. Fit up makes a big difference and so does surface prep work. Any grease or dirt will ruin any chance of a good weld.On the front and the back of weld as stated earlier. Cup size will also effect the HAZ area. Gas lenses are good for aluminum and you can reduce the flow rate of shielding gas or if you have to stick the tungsten out further than a cup width. Smaller cup = smaller HAZ also. I wouldn't use a gas lense for stainless either. The smaller the cup the better for stainless. Just my .02. I clean the surface areas with acetone as the last step of prep.
  22. Yes there is less travel. Its called spring rate. Load a spring with 200lbs. Said spring compresses .25" per coil under this load.. If there are 5 coils the entire spring compresses 1.25"(.25" x 5coils = 1.25") If you remove 1 coil and now are left with 4 coils this same spring will only compress 1"(.25" x 4 coils = 1.00")under this same load of 200lbs. The end result is a stiffer ride. I know from first hand experience. This is just a example. Different springs have different ratings and there are also multi rate springs which compress different than straight rate ones.
  23. Cutting coils off the spring makes it stiffer not softer.
