Chewievette

Beautiful color! Its a bit darker than what I want on my car but its still amazing. I just got back from a quick trip to the local nissan dealer to see this color in person, but they only had a black one. Its almost like they dont want to sell Z's before winter. Oh well, at least the guy offered to order me one and get it here around spring!

Is it bad that I'm becoming less and less thrilled everytime I hear about one of these new overpowered and overpriced cars? I mean, sure its cool as heck but the odds of me ever owning one of these cars is slim to none. Not that I ever would, I'd pick a '53, '69, '78 body style vette over one of these any day. I think there are certain things that should not be entrusted to the general public.

Welcome to the club! I've got both in my '79 parts car if you want them. PM me and we can arrange something.

Now you know why its so hard for model makers to make any money. All the stuff we do really isnt that difficult, it just takes time and people dont want to pay for our time. That's why I keep it as a hobby, most of the time.

You are using the wrong img codes should be these [/img] with your url in the middle.

Did you get the PM? Still interested.

My friend's '89 Firebird(v6) lost second gear the other day and we need to figure out the cheapest way to get if fixed. Since we are both out of a job, money is a little scarce. Could we take it apart and replace the damaged parts to get it working again or do we need to get another transmission for him? Any idea what would cause second to not work? Any other inexpensive options we might be overlooking?

You can also source T3s from, Turbo Mustangs, Turbo Merker, Thunderbird Turbocoupes, and some of the later Chrysler 2.2L turbos. Just know that the chrysler turbos use a different turbine inlet flange, but they are still T3 turbos. I'm sure there's a few more but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Seeing that I need another Z like a hole in my head ....I'll see what I can do! I'll shoot you a PM in a minute.

I might as well ask here because I dont have time to sign up for a new forum for a couple of questions. I need to know what the dimensions are on the intake rocker arm. I know they are offset but by how much? What's the difference between the right and left? I think one of these rockers will work on my v6 but I need some dimensions to be sure. If you happen to have one lying around I'd love to get some measurements from you. Please let me know, Thanks. This is what mine look like, all 12 are the same:

The engine is the 3.3L v6 in a Dodge Intrepid. It came stock with sequential fuel injection and DIS. It has Both crank and cam position sensors and from what I've discovered, it reads the crank position then finds which is the next cyl at tdc to know exactly where the crank is. The cam position sensor acctually has marks for all six cylinders I just have to figure out how to tell my sequencer which is which. Maybe I could use the fuel injection system to fire the coils, I'll have to look into that.

I've been looking into the possibility of using the stock crank position sensor to run my sequencer. I'm sure its possible I just need to figure out exactly how. Since my car came from the factory with electroic ignition, there is no provision for a distributor.

Ah yes, its all becoming clearer. As you can probably tell I'm still trying to stumble through some of this and what you guys are, and have been saying is all starting to make perfect sense. The sequencer that I'm trying to develop is acctually much trickier than I originally thought because it is easy to make a circuit switch back and forth, like a turn signal, the hard part is making it remember where it was the next time you start the car, if it doesn't then the car wont run at all.

Since I'm retaining waste spark, you are correct, mostly. The one advantage that coil per cyl would have is shorter wires. My coil pack is currently one huge pack with three seperate areas each with two terminals. The wiring hookup only allows to be split into a three coil waste spark(which is how it is done internally already) however with some splicing it can be easily made into a six coil waste spark. but I have been doing research on how to build a sequencer that would switch between one cyl and the next cyl every time it gets the fire signal. which would allow it to operate non waste spark even though the ecu still thinks it is.

I have already been contacted about it but if your interested I can get another to do for you. or if you already have one I'll redo it and send it back, same goes for all you guys

I have a spare one that I took apart to paint but never got around it it. If you guys want a different color I can paint it whatever you want and send it to you. let me know if your interested.

-Its something to waste my money on -It looks cool -I'm building a custom intake manifold, twin turbo setup, modified porsche six speed, custom built engine, etc... basically I'm shooting for 450hp from my little fwd v6. A set of performance LS series coils from MSD would look and I assume perform really well under the hood. and in case your wondering, its only my daily driver till I find another car to replace it which will be very soon. did you just plug the coils in and hope for the best or are there numbers attached to your conversion? I'm just worried I'll do the conversion and it'll stop running

I have been wanting to upgrade the ignition on my daily driver for quite a while now to coil per cyl using LS1 coils but I havn't been able to figure out what I need to know to get it to run correctly. I have a coil pack with three pairs of terminals to run my v6 in a waste spark type ignition. I want to split it up into six individual coils but I need to know what numbers to look for when shopping for coils. What needs to be the same for my stock ignition to not freak out and die. All I want to do is run six coils but keep the waste spark so that I dont have to make some sort of sequencer. I hope this is making some sense. I guess what I'm trying to say is, what do I need to know when looking for the coils? Should I look for performance coils right away or stick to off the shelf parts until I get the system working?

I've got some '79 parts up here in Michigan if you need anything, just let me know. It going to be scrapped anyways so I'll let stuff go cheap. PM me if your interested, I'd love to help get a Z running.

Can you bring me back that Red GTR?? I dont ask much, its just my favorite.

If anyone wants to get rid of one near sw michigan let me know. I'll even come pick it up.

Finally!!! Good stuff that's local!!

I think you mean 350z instead of 300zx. I'd buy them, but I'm am just a broke college kid.

I'll be following your car closely, the more info you can provide the better. I'd love to put the 03/04 cobra motor in my 240z! I just Love the way they sound, it is my favorite modern V8.

Gee, I just answered my own question. It seems to be a Turbo 2, a chrysler specific version of the T3, Apparently 2.2L guys want them so I'll probably pawn it off on one of them and buy a standard T3 to play with. Thanks anyways.
