The issue that confusing me the most is the fact the 110-2.0 adapter is specific to 75 z cars and does fit the odd rectangular shape. However it has the 10MM bolt holes and the Diff has the 8MM , now I guess I must search around to find what other diff came with that flange. I went to my local Nissan dealership and they said the 75 used the 8mm bolts.

Hello all. Recently I ordered the JTR DAT 110-2.0 adapter for my 75Z and it fits. However the 110-2.0 comes with 10MM bolt holes and for whatever reason the flange coming off my diff uses 8MM bolt holes. I emailed JTR and have no response as of yet however I am looking into all my options, I have thought about taking the diff flange to a machine shop and getting the holes bored out to 10MM ; however I fear this may decrease the integrity of the part. Has anybody run into this problem before? Any suggestions? I’ve spent the last hour trying to find something on this in the search section. Tkach

Thanks for all the information guys. Really making me start to think about eletronics in a whole diffrent way. Not just wire to hook up so that the car runs but also as safety mesaures. I have an exelent write up on the Ford Taurus Fan install if anybody would like. however i have been snooping around online and was wondering if anybody was just using a baisc eletric fan wireing kit such as these, or if anybody had any thoughts about them. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10002&catalogIdentifier=Jegs_Direct&categoryId=29209&parentCategoryId=11471 or http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10002&catalogIdentifier=Jegs_Direct&categoryId=126466&parentCategoryId=11471 Im thinking of purchasing the top kit, im unsure about the MrGasket. any input?

stupid question however, do i need to install the oil pressure line to my dodge omni switch in order to make that relay work ?

I hope i can rember how i wired up the ignition. i used an msd box so i may need to hunt around for that blue wire. I guess ill know it when i see it.

HarrisonTX thanks for the info. that is much easier then i rember. I wasnt in the Army however i did serve with 1st ID in Ar Ramdi as a Marine. Good times looking back however when it was bad it was bad. Rember to destroy all them tastey KDD products. They were so good! Forces , that is what i needed to hear. to push me to get the fan done right. thanks !

First off let me say thank you to everyone on the board for all of the inspiration over the years. The Hybrid Z community has been one of my greatest resources for my own little project. I don’t post much I love to listen and take the entire information in. however sometimes I cannot find the correct keywords for the information I need. Soon I shall head home to California and in a period of 4 days MUST complete my SBC Z. All I must do is wire up the fuel pump a Holley Red top, and the Ford Taurus Electric fan. I have other minor work to finish however that is not of major concern currently. Sadly my JTR book was just destroyed thanks to my 10 week old German Shepard puppy. And I cannot seem to remember how to wire the pump up. I do remember that my Z a 1975 280 had three wires running to its old electric fuel pump (anybody heard of this?). My only question about the ford Taurus fan is this how do you wire it up so that when the car is running it constantly runs the high speed setting , or am I looking to burn up my fan motor doing this. Should stick with the 2 speed setting like all the other write up’s suggested? Id prefer it to stay on constantly though. This also is another three wire object, (I thought you only needed a ground and power source). This Z has really been an experience for me. A love affair of sorts. A passion. Jeremy Clarkson once said about supercars “You can’t rationalize cars like these, they aren’t something you buy with your head; you buy them with your heart because you love them. And who could explain loveâ€. I love my Z. My Z Story (for those of you who are really board) It all started New Years Eve 2001 I was at a friends house drinking. We were a small group and we loved cars. I was 18 and going to be headed off to boot camp soon. My friend pulled up a video “you have to see this†he said. It was the Darius Z. I fell in love. I had to have one. I thought non-stop about that car and how build my own Z throughout boot camp. I researched hunted around for over a year. Then it happened to fall into my hands. It turned out that my friend’s father had a 1975 280Z that he kept in storage. He never really talked about it so even my friend didn’t know about it. One day I brought the subject up with him about a Small Block conversion. He told me the old inline 6 in his Z had enough power. We talked about his old Z for a bit, and then I asked “what ever happened to that carâ€. It turns out he had it sitting in storage for years then next day and 800 dollars later it was mine. It ran well. Of course being in the military I never really could put the time tighter to swap the small block in. The Z due to many circumstances had become my daily driver. I started to accumulate parts then I was shipped off to Iraq. Thinking about driving my small block Z at times was all I had. The hope. It was strange how a car gave me hope, but it did. A year after that I was out of the military. Yes we have just passed threw my military service in less then a paragraph. Anyways now that I had another daily driver. It was time. I started my swap. Things went well but as always I hit a few bumps in the road. And due to timing I had to leave the car at my mom’s house. Thanks MOM! Her garage was empty and the car fit so nicely in it. So I moved to Mississippi to be with the love of my life. Everything was going well. I was in love with a beautiful woman, but their was something missing. The Z. Then the stupid storm hit. Katrina destroyed my daily driver (and my house). And that was that. We relocated and started over. The whole time the Z sat. On the other side of the country waiting. I was able last January to sneak home to California for a few days, and I got the motor to fire up in car. I would have driven it however I lacked a running fuel pump. And I had a flight to catch. So it has been waiting. So close to completion. I now have my chance to make the car a drivable automobile and bring it to my new house. So I must complete it hearing that motor roar inside the engine bay (all be it my friend was pouring fuel directly into the carb) really did it. My current daily driver is falling apart nothing can stop that, every time I get in it I wish I was in my Z. I hope that I can finish the Z on this trip and bring it home with me. It would mean a lot to me now. I have grown personally I have a wonderful woman a great job (firefighter) and a puppy (can’t win them all). All I need in my life is my Z. I don’t often ask for help, I help others. This time however I need the assistance any information would be appreciated. I have 3 weeks to prepare so I would like all to be in order for when the time comes.

BuZy thanks for the info on the starter heat shield. I don’t want to have to replace that, not much slack on the wires running to it. I had to fly back home yesterday so the Z now sits again on the other side of the country from me. Thankfully my friends agreed to hook up the fuel line and make sure that the Z gets safely in the hands of the car shippers. Sadly im not going to be the first to drive it. I love the search function, that and for some reason I seem to occasionally have too much pride to ask. Which is retarded. Thanks to everybody for all the help.

I just wanted to post to say I finally got My Z to fire up. Well knida. I had to pour gas in the carb because I decide to swap out the little 650 cfm 4 barrel for a 750 Holley double pumper. So my fuel line is too short, and I didn’t finishing wiring the fuel pump. I have exterior lights, except for the tail. My dome light works. And some of the interments seem to work however none have lights. I cant figure it out. I never seem to use the right phrase in the search function.I was also wondering if anybody has had an issue with running block hugger headers and burning up their starter? Jegs sells a pretty cheap starter heat shield. Thinking of buying it any suggestions ? I always wanted to make this post ! However I still am yet to drive the Z. Oh well I got to hear it run and it was something that I have been waiting to hear for some time now. Im so excited this post is so random I apologize for that.

I was wondering if anybody has shipped a car across the country? I am looking into shipping my Hybrid from California to South Carolina. Ive been hunting around for a good shipper. So i was wondering if anybody has any recomendations or info on who i should aviod, Or who they have shipped with in the past and was pleased with the service. I hope this was the right place for this post. Chris

Thanks well i figured out my problem. Yes I do own the JTR book but sadly before working on the car after a long day at work I repeted step one many times.( step one on any car project i have is crack a beer) and sadly this lead to confusion and misunderstanding and fustration.(see moneys from 2001) I got the motor in everything fits fine ! im very happy hopefully ill be able to drive it around this weekend ! thanks for the help. Ill post some pics when i get my digital cammera back. anywho lesson learned. shiney objects + booz = confused man.

I for some reason cannot figure out how to install my jtr mounts on my motor and drop it in. everytime i do i end up with the drivers side 1/2 to high and slightly forward. i was wondering if anybody has pics of their jtr mount setup on their motor.

im going to make this short and simple. has anybody here been to iraq? okay good if you have not then you do not know what is going on their. the media dose not potray everything that goes on in iraq. and the few things they report the usally only give half the story. i just got back from iraq i served with 1mef over their. and let me tell you wmd's exist their. hussian did support terrorism. now if you have not been to iraq you have a very small leg to stand on the aruge for or agaisnt the war as it turly dose not affect you nor your family in the way it did mine. im not going to make a statement for or agaisnt the war. i dont care what most people think. i just dont like people argueing over things that dont affect them and are pointless. and i dont care to hear what you have to say to me unless you have been their and can show proof. the media is missleadeing. as far as why stay in iraq. peace must be resotred. and if nobody notcied after we fight in a country we occupie it japan germany korea and we still have troops in these places 50 years later. and oddly the japanse and germans seem to be pretty good friends of ours now.

any progress ? im very intrested in the headers/downpipe!

i was wondering if anybody has done this before. ive got a 6al box with a blaster 2 coil and 8mm hielicoil wires. installed all these and had a problem starting the z. so i went out and got the 8920 tach/ fuel adapter. installed it and when i put the red wire from it on the battery i can get the car to turn over. but that is the only way i can get the z to turn over. i cant seem to find a good wire to splice into. leaving it hooked up to the battery will fry the adapter (first hand knowlage was gained of this today). and i tried to hook it strait into the ingntion but got nothing(keeping in mind i have been using a dmm to try and find this wonderful impossibly hard to find wire). anybody know of a good wire location to splice into to get my wonderfuly pure 12 volts. so i can get my z running? sorry if this has been posted before.
