Okay so what all is included in this kit or adapter setup? Are we going to have to do the hybrid clutch using the Turbo Flywheel? What other parts are going to be necessary for us to run them? What else are we going to have to source out? Custom Driveshafts, tranny mount, etc.? Tyson

Thanks I now have some new background pics. That thing is nice and LOW, not to mention that big *** IC in front looks mean. On a couple of angles it reminds me of the Wangan Midnight car . Tyson

BOOOOO!!!! JEALOUSY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! That thing is going to be sick. Good work, glad it went to good HybridZ hands . Tyson

I've got bad news, which really really pisses me off. I'm not going to be able to make it to the shindig because its the day after thanksgiving and I have to help decorate the f*cking house. Got a huge guilt trip for wanting to leave, really disappointed I'm not going to be able to meet you guys and have fun talking about Z's and not have to explain what a Z is. Have fun, drink a "drink" for me and let me know how everything goes. Tyson

I guess he took the whole sprout wings and fly saying to heart. Tyson

Yeah I saw that, but at $1450 for an upgrade that can only support up to 160hp (unless you upgrade injectors) and not including an ECU or wiring harness seems fairly expensive in comparison to what your are getting. Definately still think they are a very cool product. Tyson

Personally I really like them in comparison to the old wheels. IMO and no offense intended, but I think thats been the only thing that I wasn't like holy sh*t when I look at your car. I'm a big fan of a the lip and I think it would really set your car off, not to mention the black coloring would tie into the engine bay color scheme tying the entire car together. Now I'm not necessarily saying these wheels, cause you don't have the big brakes and there isn't a whole lot of metal in the center, which again IMO would create the whole floating car look which is never good. Something in a similar style or like Z Draci's post would really make your car even more WOW. Tyson

Nothing is wrong with buying two sets, I might try it out. if it goes wrong I'll just install them on my POS Honda. So I've narrowed it down to the 2 sets of motorcycle or converting the Triple carbs for FI. Does anyone have any information on carbs converted to handle FI?? Tyson

Yeah you have a point, that gets rid of using the set of 4 ITB setup. Any opinion on running 2 TB's with 3 runners? I'm really curious about converting the Triples to FI seems like it would require the least amount modification. Tyson

http://www.datsunracing.com/gallery/ He has a whole section of just Z's (Datsun/Nissan Events). I think that might have been what he was referring to. Tyson

Okay I know its an old thread but I have some questions about this or another setup. I'm looking into dropping my E31 head on to my FI 78 L28 motor to have some fun with while I gather parts and money for my RB swap. Now with the prices of tripple carbs and TWM ITB's being upwards of 1200 plus, I kinda wanted to mess around with a cheap alternative preferably FI. Now I was looking at the Motocycle 4 Throttle bodies that you can find on ebay for CHEAP and wondered if I would have to run 6 throttle bodies for this to work or if I could run say 2 runners off of the outer throttle bodies. 1 TB x 2 runners 1 TB x 1 runner 1 TB x 1 runner 1 TB x 2 runners in the order. Now another option is get 2 Throttle bodies and run 3 runners from 1 throttle body. 1 TB x 3 Runners 1 TB x 3 Runners However there is the option mentioned above I can get a set of Triple Carbs minus the Intake Manifold for $500 and then convert it to FI. Which option would be easiest, netting the most power? Or should I just buy the Carbs and find a manifold and run them. I just wanted to stay away from the original FI system. I plan on running Mega-Squirt to control everything. Thanks for any help or input. Tyson

This is a listing on Craigslist.com just curious if you thought it would be worth my while to resell the parts car and the training car? Or do you think its even worth the effort? 240 Z Datsun - $12000 Reply to: sale-107852635@craigslist.org Date: 2005-10-31, 8:14AM PST I have 3 Datsun 240z Race cars 1) 1973 full cage rabello engine. 2) 1972 full cage (was a training car)has a bad rack and pinion) 3) 1971 parts car (has a good rack) truck loads of extra parts engine, trannys, rearend, body parts. car 1 has over $25,000 in parts into it.

For the PayPal, I'm setting up my account later this week. Once everything is setup, and I get notice from the Dealer that he is ready for a purchase I will make the purchase. After that is done I will email all of you my PayPal account number with your total cost. I will need an email response of your location and will ship once I recieve reimbursement. Thanks for all the interest. Tyson

I think instead we should have little spot called Grumpyvettes' Corner where everything is Sticky worthwhile. SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION!!! Tyson

Well the 260Z I was planning on looking at is in Tustin http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/car/104432994.html but since I'm looking to swap I think its too much money to pay for just a body. Not to mention 240Z_Masters mounts only work for a 240Z. Trying to find a good 240 shell or rolling chassis in CA (anyone anyone... ). With that being said I should be able to make it down there around 3:00 to hang out with the other guys if that is the set time, my schedule is very flexible so if we want to meet later thats fine as well. Tyson

Any day except Thursday would work well for me. However just FYI I'm making a 2hr or so trip if I can make it, so staying away from traffic times would be great. Though I could always just go down early and hang out at the mall like all the cool kids... Tyson

I guess a check sent to my home Address would be fine or money order. I don't know for sure yet. However I will not send the patches in this until I recieve reimbursement. I will try and ship them as fast as possible for those trying to use them as Xmas gifts. I'd like to stress again that we don't have a guarantee so far on the patches as the Dealer doesn't know when his shipment arrival date is. Tyson

Okay so this is the most recent email correspondence with the dealer: Tyson still trying to verify quanity of Datsuns to receive and when, sorry for delay in answering I think it will be best I ship to you and receive payment from you the price will be $20.00 shipped for both or large $13.00 and small $6.00, $1.00 shipping or I will charge you a flat rate on the shipping. My big problem is I think on this order I only have about 24 small (FRONT) coming and about 50 large (REAR) 20 of the large are spoke for if I receive what I ordered but what I will do is put another order in take care of any one else who wants them it will take about another 2 weeks to receive a new order I will send another Email when I here status of order thanks, Bob So what this means for the time being is any one seeking patches after the post of blueovalz will have a 2 week waiting period for the Front patches ONLY. We are only at 18 for the Rear patches so their will be no problem with them. Also since he wants to have me pay him directly, then have you guys reimburse me it will probably make the pricing come out to about dollar ($1) more on top of his price for me to ship to you guys your package of patches. FYI about the HybridZ patches, I have still yet to hear back from the embroidery shop and am getting price quotes from another shop. If there is any interest in Jackets please let me know. Tyson

The HybridZ Patches aren't a go yet still waiting the here back from the embroidery shop. Tyson

If everything goes correctly with the guy that we would be buying from I can either buy the total directly from him then have you guys pay me then have me ship them to you. Or when I make the purchase include everyone's mailing address have him directly ship to you guys and have you guys reimburse me. Or set-up an order password such as HybridZ Buyer for use to get the group discount and have you guys contact him directly. I'm currently waiting for reply from the Dealer about the patches and will relay the information as I get it. Any input of payment is fine process is welcome. Tyson

Just for everyones information I'm going to send in the order the Monday after Thanksgiving, which means that if you want patches after that you can either contact the dealer directly or I might have some left over. Tyson

That is just a testament to the quality of work that you do John, congrats, that thing is awesome. Tyson

I gotta ask where are you getting your parts from? They all look brand new. Can't wait to see some more progress. Tyson

Out of state isn't a very good option for them, out of state tuition is ridicolous not to mention I like CA. CSU Northridge is looking to be the best option as the have a specific focus on Automotive Engineering no other CSU does, these are just the labs that they have on campus: Automotive Engineering Laboratory Computer Controlled Parts Manufacturing Lab (Haas Lab) Design, Analysis and Simulation Laboratory Environmental Test Chamber Formula SAE Laboratory Formula SAE Racecars Streamliner Machine Design Laboratory Mechatronics Lab Rocket Engine Test Cell Robotics and Controls Engineering Laboratory Thermofluid Systems Laboratory Wind Tunnel Laboratory Also can get a chance to build this More Pics: http://www.ecs.csun.edu/%7Esae/cgi-bin/spboard/board.cgi?id=gallery Organization that builds them: http://www.ecs.csun.edu/sae/ More SAE info: http://students.sae.org/ http://automobile.sae.org/ I had completely forgotten about SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), seems like CSU Northridge will be good college for this Major and I'll minor in Radio-Television-Film Communications (it'll pull in the graphic design interest). Thanks again for all the help. Tyson

Vinny just FYI you inbox is full, can't send you PM's right now. I'm interested in making the trip. Tyson
