Hey Len. I did a cable/Datsun linkage combo. Used hardware parts from Home Depot, bicycle brake parts, and a cable-to-ball joint connector from Locar. Works great, was cheap, and is very adjustable.

It won't warm up?!?! I can't believe it runs at all. How are you metering the fuel? By flipping the pump switch on and off? You are going to need a lot more than matching pigtails. You're going to need the computer and harness that went with that motor, and a lot of know-how. If you don't know a lot about efi and turbos this is a project I'd run away from while you and your buddy are still friends. When the motor blows it's going to be: Your friend you BTW, Welcome to Hybrid

The ultimate doner car! Hey TZ, have you enlightened Eric about this one yet?

'91? It is definitly the same motor. As a matter of fact, I've been bluffing you guys all this time telling you I had a "Chevy" in my Z. The truth is it came out of a Firechicken. Come to think of it so did the tranny (but a different car). Does this make me a Pontiac man?

This is a great thread. I love all this talk about mid engine/twin engine stuff. This is the kind of thing that occupies my mind on the commute to work in the mornings. Back in '85 or '86 Car and Driver did a twin engine CRX. It looked completely stock. They fitted a complete drive train from another CRX into the back. They used automatic trannies and it flew. I think the 0-60 was like 5.8! I had bought a new Dodge GLH turbo the same year and fantisized about doing the same to it. That would have been nuts, 300+ hp, 4WD in that little box. One day I'd like to do a custom Chevy truck roadster with the engine mounted between the tailgate and the rear axle, ala 911. Then cut out the hood and make it into a bowrider!

Another note: If you use that radiator with the JTR lower mount, lower it at least 3/8" so the radiator cap will clear the hood. I learned the hard way, DING!!!

Slvrhase , I have that van radiator in my car. It is identical to the Camaro unit except it comes with a drain plug. Because of the plug it is slightly wider at the bottom and you need to shave off a couple of fins on the plastic tank for it to fit.

I want to know what you are implying when you call it a "RED" handled cresent wrench?

Well, I wanted to post my opinion. But the others here said this thread is not for people like me. They said that when they talk about inclusion I tramatize them so they asked me to leave.

Thanks for the update Pete. You know, you're suppost to let us copy-cats know these things. How is the vibration and harshness with the urethane?

Ron stole my idea, eh... before I did it. Thats the MSA airdam with the SubtleZ fender and hood kit. See, it's like "before and after" only backwards.

Hey Lone, nobody bit! Do you think they've stopped reading your posts? Well hey, I'm your friend, I'll help: "Say Lone, what's a Henway?" ba dum bump

On those Impulse door seals, what years? The older 1st gen (Chevette based)or the later one that is also the Geo Storm?

I read your post to my wife. She loved it! Poor little Cobra. Take it easy out there. On MY way home tonight, north on Hwy 5 south of Stockton, I saw a new Mustang with a bulgy hood and a Civic in the center median. Honda had a door and fender smashed. The Ford rolled! Kids these days.

Spotfitz makes a good point. Also, how are you going to back-up? Isn't that thing going to jack-knife?

We need a new forum: Hybridtree.org.

Audrey replies: Alex, For your information I don’t actually attend a public school. I am home schooled! And all my peers appreciate my individuality, I have been looking for a job so I can continue playing ice hockey… I am only the second girl there out of over 20. I do not have Siphysus syndrome, whatever that is. And one more thing, a puck on ice travels faster than your fingers on a keyboard. Dan Juday’s (soon-to-be)14 year old daughter.

Is this wacked or legit? Calling all engineers. Sound off! The Hercules 5th wheel

I have some very sad news for all of you. My soon-to-be 14 year old daughter thinks that is the hotest car on the planet. Is there anything that can be done? Are there therapists for this kind of thing? Is this truly MY child? Could she have been switched at birth?

I'm with Terry. I think the 5.0 Mustang motor would be the ticket. Plus, since you live in Cali, it's easy to find wrecked post '89 Stangs in the JY's. You will need an '89 or later smog legal motor to register it. BTW, I bought my Z in Brentwood. I live about 30 minutes from you. Another BTW, for you non-Cali types, there are two Brentwoods in this silly state. O.J. lives in the other one.

Yes, that is a good price. You did well. I can't answer your other questions.

I'd like to reply to pvtkary about spinning both wheels with no LSD. This has been a bit of a bugaboo to me in all these threads about LSD's. I think several people are out hunting for LSD's simply because of this question. They are spending time and money to solve a problem they don't have. It is true that with an open diff AND a live axle (one-piece rearend from wheel to wheel like most rear wheel drive American cars) you will spin only one wheel, and the same one every time. The effect is the same one we Z guys deal with when we rip out our front diff mount. When excessive torque is applied to the diff the pinion gear, which is connected to the power source, tries to turn the ring gear, which is connected, through the axles, to the rear rubber that is not moving and is stuck to the ground with the weight of the car. So, what you have is a pinion gear driven with a lot of force trying to turn a ring gear that doesn't want to. The result is that the pinion tries to "climb" the ring, thus causing the front of the diff to rise up. This same action also twists the whole diff case around the pivot point of the driveshaft. If you have a live axle this twisting action mashes one tire into the ground and lifts the other one up unloading the weight of the car on it and it begins to spin. However, If you have an independent rear suspension (IRS), like on the Z car, that twisting motion is contained to the diff itself. The weight on the rear tires remains the same as it was before you hit the loud pedal. Two perfect black strips. Now, this only applies when conditions are identical at both wheels. If one tire is wet, or the ground is smoother under it, or your 290-lb. mother-in-law is in the passenger seat, the strips may very in length. In this case the LSD will compensate. It will also compensate when powering through a corner when weight shifts to the outside tires. The LSD will also create more "push" or understeer which you may or may not want. So, yes, the LSD is great, and will always help you get more traction. But if what you are concerned with is just leaving two black stripes save your money for more speed parts. Hope this clears things up for some. I know I feel better. BTW, my favorite movie is “My Cousin Vinnie”. Dan

Ok, rip me a fresh one, I like it. (I can hear the growning now) Kind of like what a real one would look like if you sectioned it.
