Although 2 and a half months away, I'm already HYPED. My dad said theres a good possibility that we can go, maybe not for the full day of SEZS, but the saturday before. I am going to try to get the Z there, by then I should have the motor rebuilt and boosted again, and would like to run the quarter. The only way I would bring it though is by trailer, because I expect it to break something at the strip. The only problem would be that we don't own a tow vehicle to even dolly it. Would anybody with a trailer or dolly that is going to SEZS be willing to tow my Z, for a fee of course.

You haven't come across an H1E map have you?

DIBS!!!! If you can figure out shipping to 23116, I'll see if I can swing it.

Seems like I may have time to donate this time. I'm usually very strapped and very much in debt being a full time student with a part time job with an expensive hobby. But with this much advanced notice, I think I'll be able to swing atleast 20-30 or so.

The diffrence is at ebay, it can be anything goes. Where as here, everyone has something in common-the love of Z's. Its a brotherhood.

I think they're called magnetic switches. Where as long as you have power running through the switch it is a closed circuit. But once you cut power the circuit is open and you must actually push in the swith for it to restart. This is what I plan to do, with all my switches, because I have a bad tendency to forget to turn things off.

Thats what we did yesterday to get it to actually fire up. I just have 2 variables that are unknown, which are the timing and fuel pressure. I'll check the plugs and it probly isn't a bad idea to replace them either. On a side note, I plan to goto the EAST COAST Z and hopefully pick up another N47 head and work it abit, because I just started school again and I plan to rebuild the motor, and my head has seen better days anyway-so I'm gonna start from scratch.

SOOO close, I can taste it. I am going to rip apart my wiring next week, so I just decided to cut up the fuse links and solder them together and it is SOOOOOOO close to running. I can't dial in the timing till it fires up, and I have an adjustable FPR, so its more like a hit or miss type thing untill I get it running. It will actually fire up for about a second then die, But I'm getting closer.

I know of someone selling a 280z that is good for daily driver status. It looks great, and its pretty quick. PM me.

WOW, all that time and money spent. And you can't even straighten the license plate....sheesh. Some people just take shortcuts I guess. J/k Tim, the Pontiac looks great. The funny thing is that I was on ebay looking for the next project car, and one of these popped up, considered it, but the timing isn't right for me, maybe in a couple months, and all the windows were missing(I'd rather spend hundreds in power, not windows)

Im gonna test it first, and if so, i may take you up on the offer, thanks.

I'll have to look into that, but then would the car not even turn over?

I am not using the AFM at the moment, I'm just trying to get it started, not drive it. And YES it will run without the AFM, because it would run without it before. I did use that method Paz, and nothing. I will try again this weekend and see if something may have come loose. The reason I am putting it back to stock is to see if its fixed. I was having all sorts of problems(none electrical) and I think I have fixed them all. But before I goto a new harness and computer, I want to make sure its running right again. That way, if all is right now, then anything that doesn't seem right is from the MSnS. I don't wanna have to try and desifer if the mechanicals are right while I'm trying something new(MSnS) that could possibly be wrong. For example, I try and figure out why I'm running incredibly rich and say,"I'll just lean it out", but for some reason now I still have no power, and still running kinda rich. And come to figure, it all turns out to be a blown intake gasket and its causing a pretty nasty vacuum leak. So what I am doing is taking the injection system on there that I know is good, and runs VERY well with my engine, and if all checks out with that then I will step up to MS. Now that I think about it, I don't think I used any fuse links, I didn't think that had anything to do with the spark. I knew that the fuse links had something to do with the FI though, but its always the little things you overlook

I've tried everything, even used the coil on my sentra, and it works, so the coil is good. I pulled a wire, and put it on a plug and set it on the valve cover. Turned the motor over, for lets say 10-15 cranks, its only sparked twice, yet again, a very weak spark. I checked all the grounds AGAIN, and made sure everything was good, the blue was negative already. I have no idea whats goin wrong. Any other ideas, like a possible connection somewhere that may be disconnected still? Also I used the screwdriver test and my injectors weren't pulsing. Everything worked a couple months ago before I tore it down. The mistake was that I didn't label anything, which wasn't a big deal, because I was gonna scrap the harness and use my MSnS setup. But for certain reasons I am now putting it together with the stock trash again.

Will make sure to do that-I know quite a bit about what grounding issues can do, nissans weakness has got to be electrical, specially on the older datsuns. My old ZX had a few grounding problems. My sentra had an electrical problem. And my new Z has electrical problems. I'll take a look into it whenever I get another chance to work on it, which would probly be this weekend.

Haven't had a chance to take a look at the Z since xmas eve, because of work and weather. But what I am wondering now is if the ground isn't hooked up-then it wouldn't spark at all. But I get a weak spark, not lack of spark-VERY WEAK spark that is. I know my coil is good, and just for kicks I used another new coil that was great last time I used it.

Clerks 2 is a great movie

THAT IS EXACTLY what i needed to know, I'll go give that a try later on today. I thought #1 was in that position, but wanted to make sure. Thanks. Wish me luck, what a Christmas present that would be, have the Z running for the first time in months.

Most is N/a, but that should not matter at the moment. The J-pipe is not hooked up right now, its running N/a, just untill I can get it started, then I will put on the J-pipe. And yes, it does work, mine was running the same setup a few months ago, but a broken stud caused the intake gasket to blow out. Since then it ran like crap(like 5 minuts after) But everything has been fixed now and its gonna be mean.

I have just finished putting the Z back together after a few months of sitting on the project. It is an N42/N47 turbo project(I just relized it was an N47 today, I guess I glanced to quick the last time and thought it was N42). It is using all the stock N/a electronics. All I did was bolt turbo parts onto the N/a motor. I would really like to get this motor running in its current setup. Within a couple months I plan another buildup which I have most of the parts for already, including MSnS, Holset H1e, Srt4 intercooler, hks wastegate(will prolly get a Tial instead though) and a greddy BOV(prolly goto TurboXS though) Back to the original problem. I have weak spark, and it seems as though that is the main thing that is hindering the first startup. I did not wire EVERYTHING back up to where it needs to go just because I do not need horns and lights and such, so that is not wired up, so I guess its a possibility that I forgot a wire or 2 in that mess of a harness. The car did run pretty well(vaccum leak) before the teardown, but there was no spark issues to speak of. Could somebody tell me if theres a ground wire or something that I'm missing for the electrical system. I know there is a red and green wire on the dizzy and a red and green comming from the harness, so I hooked that up. I also know that there is a black and blue wire comming from the harness that needs to goto the coil, which is + and which is -? Is one of those random wires in that same bundle a ground for the electrical system? One last question, which port on the dizzy cap is #1? I know off the top of my head is 1-5-3-6-2-4 in CCW order. Every other Z cap I've had had a #1, this one doesn't.

price for the flywheel? could you estimate the shipping too?

WOW, your back, one day I noticed, hmmmm-what happened to datsunlover, and I checked your s/n and it said you haven't been on since last x-mas or so. Glad to see your back. Sorry for the thread hi-jack.

When you say mid-year supra, I assume your talking about the 87-92 Mk3? If you have that intercooler, DON'T use it-its garbage to say the least. Why do you think they upgrade them so quickly, and sell them so cheaply. IIRC it has about a 3.5-4psi pressure loss at stock boost. Meaning that if your making 6.7psi(stock boost) then the turbo is actually producing closer to 10-11psi, and the cooling effect isn't that great either.

Just before I read this post, I was thinking just that. Wouldn't it be awesome if he were to take it apart and show detailed pictures of the setup, so that I could use it to design a newer version using newer technology?

So now you gotta get badges that say 328iL.
