  1. S13 guys do crap like that all the time. Is it the right way? probably not, but it will work. The prop valve will obviously help distribute the pressure. I haven't had a parking brake in my datsun for almost 2 years. I just put it in 1st when I park.
  2. Measure the diameter of the hole. If it looks like a close fit for the stud, use an acorn, if theres a lot of space try and fit a mag. Or if you have one type of each lug laying around, just test fit them.
  3. The link says nothing can be found. Could be becasue of my school network though.
  4. Carbs, low pressure FPR, and a low pressure fuel pump. Then of course whatever wiring is needed to keep the coil and dizzy happy.
  5. Depends on the offset, and if you want to run flares, but yes. Check out the wheel fitment thread. Lot of people running the rota hayashi look alikes in 15x9 sizes under stock fenders
  6. There is nothing premade. You will need to make them yourself or have an exhaust shop make them. The downpipe is particularly annoying because if you're using the stock turbo, I had to have a new flange cut since I couldn't find a 4 bolt flange that small. For the intercooler, I'd buy a cheap ebay one, and one of the universal piping kits.
  7. I don't think white on white will look good, and the dash is always going to be black so it would look awkward. I think metallic black would be the best option. You should try finding someone to trade interiors with.
  8. The Vibrant TPV short version is about eh same size, which is the one I'm assuming you will be using. 15-17in is not that big, Average cheap mufflers are 20+ and you see people using those all the time.
  9. All things held constant, with only the compression ratio and the combustion chambers changing, you can turbo your Na block and make that power goal. What happens to most people if the wiring completely messes everyone up and something detonated and they are quick to assume it was not their problem in which most cases it is. Rods are the same, don't believe the hype.
  10. Its never cheaper to start with a car that has rust. It would be an investment of you're time to start with the cleaner, less rusty z.
  11. Exedy or spec clutches are great. Exedy makes oem, so you know they're clutches are good and myself and a few friends have run spec with no problems. I ran a stage 1 exedy in my 280zx for 35k miles. With about 3k of those miles turbo, no issues. I ran a stage 3 spec in my 260z with triple carbs and a cam for about 6k moles before i sold the car. It was harsh, but it was a 6 puck. I am also currently using an oem exedy in my 240sx daily. About 3k on it and no issues. What are you're hp goals?
  12. What are you doing about the subframe bushing? I'd suggest to go solid, since it's fairly easy if you have a good machinist, or even know someone with a lathe. When I did this, I dropped as much as I could off at my friends garage. For $200 he pushed out both, subframe bushing, turned down s13 solid bushings, and got the control arm bushings out. He then brought the parts across the street to a motorcycle shop that powder coated in house, got them coated and installed the new bushings, with zerk fittings in the control arms to make greasing a piece of cake. Took like 2-3 weeks total though. .
  13. Budget wise were are you at now? Seems like you're gathering a lot of spare parts
  14. That tire size isn't too drastic. Probably all of what you're feeling is the tire material difference. I think you just need to work on your forearms, or learn to creep before you start turning.
  15. Cutting a hole in anything will cause it to be less stable. Especially a hole that big. These cars are made of thin Jap tin anyway and are fatigued 35 years or more. And you want to cut a hole in it. Also since you are concerned about exhaust fumes and say you're going to be driving often, why are you doing this? Just for looks?
  16. Did you measure the regions with a micrometer to see if they are different?
  17. He's looking for a 3.36. They came in Euro turbo 280zx for sure, not sure what other cars they came in.
  18. It looks like a turd, and on top of that it looks like it was put together very poorly. I wouldn't buy it.
  19. I was looking at those for my s13, but right before I pulled the trigger I found a pair of 5zigens in the exact size I wanted. I'd like to see these on an s30 as well.
  20. I removed mine. Thank god FL doens't have any mountains. One day I'll use a hydro ebrake. One day.
  21. No and if you don't plan on using it I'm sure you can find someone in the states who wants it.
  22. Well the T28 won't fit since the stock size is a T3. You can run 10psi on pretty much stock everything with just a manual boost controller and a FMU. the intercooler will help, but I wouldn't run the bov, as it may mess up the stock ecu. Also an electric fan has nothing to do with how much boost you run. You can run the stock clutch fan with a shroud and you should be fine.
  23. Personal horror story about datsun parts LLC. My friend bought a "freshly machined head" from them. Came with part of the gasket and a lot of sludge and dirt still on the mating surface and in the passages. Sunrise Z is the name of the shop in Glandale CA, Art Rinner is the man that runs it, He has an account but it's easier to call. You should just be able to google them.
