  1. Yes it will work as long as it is the 87-89T tranny. The z32, RB26 and late z31t tranny are all the same family. Different gear ratios, output shafts and of course one is AWD.
  2. Glad to see more people around the Low Country. I have seen a 72 (pretty sure 72 at least) running around Summerville with a for sale sign in the back window. Looks really straight, not some expensive bondo and paint straight but original owner stored in barn straight. I'll keep an eye out for the number for ya.
  3. A fuel cooler on your return line is not going to completely fix the problem. The heat due to friction of the fluid going through the lines would be the only thing you fix and that wouldn't even be perfect. An in tank pump will help. The cavitation is from the fuel pump's suction pressure being below the saturation pressure (pressure where the fuel will change state for the given temperature) of the fuel on the low pressure side (assuming the fuel is vaporizing on the inlet side to your pump or in your pump, if it is after your pump then you have fuel system design issues, cover that later). To fix this, the amount of suction that is required by the pump to get the fuel to it (suction lift) needs to be reduced as it affects the difference from pump suction pressure to fuel saturation pressure. Even if you used an in tank or external pump mounted to tank below normal fuel level to feed your current pump it should do the trick. Now if your fuel is boiling after the pump (not in but after it leaves) then your fuel system is too small for the fuel at the ambient temperatures. The heat added by the pump and by the friction going through the pipe would be causing the temperature of the fuel to rise above that of saturation temperature causing the fuel to boil. To prevent that the fuel system would have to be increased in size. Example: if you had 3/8" fuel lines then switching to 1/2" fuel lines would change to amount of friction felt by the fuel for a set amount of fuel flow. This concept can be seen in refrigerant systems for things such as refrigerators. Previously you probably didn't have the issues because you were right at the borderline but the increased ambient temperature can put you right over the top. As for the increased current draw on the fuel pump I have no idea, it should be erratic if the pump is cavitating, no resistance to pump then normal, no resistance than normal.
  4. Looking at flow number for a couple common aftermarket plenums, you really don't get much more than a shiny plenum unless you are going above $1000 for the plenum. the stock plenum has a decent capacity and decent flow. I am not going to be hitting numbers that would justify spending that kind of money on just a plenum. Plus the same questions I have would be the same as for someone who is making their own manifold. Also, what throttle cable are people using for single throttle body LHD cars?
  5. For me it is actually a combination of things. Easier IC piping fabrication, don't have to sync the ITBs and allows for additional clearance between intake manifold and the passenger side frame rail/body. Specifically I am curious as what TB flange people have used, which TB, and how they adapt TPS to accomadate lengthened wiring (if needed and possible opposite rotation.
  6. I have been searching for awhile going through others build threads and random mod topics trying to find a good write up. Anyone know of a good write up here. Specfically I am going RB26 in a Z31 and am looking at everything I need to go single throttle body with perferably Q45 TB. Thanks
  7. The FS5R30A was used in the z31 turbo from 5/87 until the end. Used again in the Z32 both n/a and TT. Also was used in all 5spd skylines (r32-r34). The differences are shifter position, input shaft total length, individual gear ratios and if GTR (yes, same transmission) the addition of tail section to apply AWD. That is why all the bell housing are interchangable. Personally I used the 87 turbo transmission (swap going into 87 z31) and the 1/8th inch offset was not an issue. Along with that, the shifter position after final mounting was still in near stock position where as if using the z32 transmission I would have had to modify the tunnel so the shifter would be reachable. But then another option I have heard of is using the R34 GTR bell housing attached to the 6spd Getreg transmission from MK4 Supra TT. Can any vouch for this being correct? I know the MK4 used the V160 or V161 (Getreg 233) but what did the R34 use?
  8. Thanks to Sean over at Raw Brokerage I got what I was looking for.
  9. I have yet to be able to track down this part or even a part number to order from Nissan. Any help or suggestions as to where to look would be much appreciated.
  10. Looking to buy the coil mounting bracket for the six coil-on-plugs. Old one was severely damaged by previous owner and requires coils and bracket replacement. Coils have already been purchased now only looking for mounting bracket. This bracket is the one that the coils bolt to then the bracket is bolted into the head.
