  1. That's weird. I can still see my pics. There is a chrome app that supposedly beats photobucket, but I'm not using it. Edit: I've also checked several other threads that use PB and I can see their pics.
  2. So it seems photobucket has decided to not suck anymore. Imagine that.
  3. Purist L27? Just a guess. What is the stroke of the crank?
  4. The BW EFR series would be good to cover. This is for a Suabru, but I'm eyeing a EFR7163. Not sure how much they correlate to the S series
  5. I bought the top mount turbo manifold they sell. It didn't come with a flat flange, and the interior had a bunch of slag on it from welding. so I basically spent anotehr #250 to have it machines, checked, and braced up. I could have gotten a doc racing manifold for that price. As for the mount kits, including Mckiney, they are all designed to keep the original sr20 front sump oil pan, and the driveshaft angle is a little steeper than I'd like. Because of this I went with a custom fabricated setup and mounted the engine as low and straight as I could.
  6. They're not going to be equal front to rear, He wants a 4 piston up front (area is listed on silvermine motors website) and a single 2 piston for regular driving, along with another single piston that is used only for ebrake capability. There has been a write up of this (minus the ebrake function) and aside from having custom rotors and brackets made, it's almost cheaper to go with a wilwood kit for something out fo the box that fits.
  7. Best to do would be to use the shortnose r200 conversion. That will be about $2k from techno toy tuning, and very overkill if you really just want the 5 lug.
  8. The cheapest method would be to use the maxima rear brake setup and get some 4x114 to 5x114 adapters and measure the wheel offset appropriately. If not you want to probably install the majority of the Techo toy tuning shortnose R200 kit and get the CV axles as well.
  9. I would post this on the datsun parts and needs facebook group also. Probably get more traffic there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheZGang/
  10. The smog cert is going to be the issue, since even though it may pass the actual emmisions test, you're required to keep all the same emmission components that came with the engine (if you took it from an F body or something). I don't know if that's different when you buy a crate engine. Are you military? because then you wouldn't need to register it in the state of CA.
  11. So what you see in that thread is how you have to do the fronts. The rear however need something completely different since Datsun decided to go with an all-in-one strut tube. What techno toy tuning is doing is using a clamping thing to basically act as the perch for the coilover sleeve. The Kyb struts can be used if you go this route, but you'd have to get springs matched to them, which would kinda defeat the purpose of going with coilovers. Personally I don't like either of those ideas, which is why I opted for a full s13 suspension. All in all, I spent maybe $600 on used s13 coilovers, welding and powdercoating the front strut tubes, and custom rear tophats. I'd say that's pretty cheap.
  12. Well this entire thread is screwed, so much for that. Thanks Photobucket.
  13. Well it seems the issue now is that photobucket is holding a lot of our pictures hostage.
  14. Something would be nice. Imgur is so far the only site I can easily and quickly get the file from. Photobucket is probably going to capsize from this.
  15. That's exactly why I didn't go with the mckinney mounts for my SR swap. I wanted my engine lower and further back, which also required me to have a rear sump pan made.
  16. What width do you need? also why can't you run an 18 and not a hoosier?
  17. I actually didn't have a problem with leg room, I had an issue with how high the seat was with the slider. I want to try to hard mount it to lower it. Also it looks like you have to relocate the giant sub frame bolts also. and maybe shorten some of the suspension pick up points? Also I'm assuming you're going with a smaller fuel cell? or will the stock tank fit? Lastly, thanks for the great pics, this is the most documentation on this I think anyone has ever done. Some of the pics from the first few posts don't seem to show up anymore though.
  18. How are you mounting it and are you going to be EFI or carbed?
  19. Any idea how deep it goes? Have you put some dye and a black light on it?
  20. Saw it in person as well. Good stuff. This was a different car and some other cool cars
  21. It might not rule out the the wrong tank, unless the 260z and 280z's have the same metal tanks.
  22. I wonder if he has stock suspension.
  23. Latest car show. It was mostly a lot of camaros since this is the midwest. Repping the Hybridz.org sticker
