Do you have a super charger lol. No J/K.. If it's that loud I doubt it's the vacuum leak. It's the friggin belt. Remove the belt and start the engine and check it out. I had a problem with the tensioner pulley's bearing goes bad and making the whistling like sound so damn loud one time. Good luck. V.

Mike, Thanks for the info. I am glad you chime in also. I hope no one take it the wrong way by this post. I appreciate all the stuffs you guys do for the Z community. I will buy stuffs from you guys in a heart beat. Back to the headers, I didn't reallized the problem either until my friend called me up the other day and told me about it. I will try to clean them up and see what happens. Sorry I should have called. Vinh

Guys, I just redo my radiator support out of SS and I have a question. I am using 1" square tubing and 1/8" thick. I am thinking of adding 2 diagonal bars from the middle of the horizontal bar to the legs of the 2 vertical bars. I've made this into a removable radiator support to help remove the engine easier later. So the question is do I need to add the diagonal bars or not? Thanks V.

Anyone have any problem with the JTR LS1 ceramic coated headers? The headers on my friend's car is pitting thru the ceramic coat. Did we just got some bad luck and got a bad set of headers from the manufacturer?

Here it is: Circuit Description The clutch pedal position switch is a normally closed switch. The powertrain control module (PCM) applies a voltage to the clutch pedal position switch circuit. When the clutch pedal position switch is depressed, the circuit is open and the PCM senses a high voltage. When the clutch pedal position switch is released, the clutch pedal position switch contacts close, causing the applied voltage to go low. The PCM determines if the clutch pedal position switch has failed by not sensing a clutch switch transition. The PCM monitors vehicle speed from 0 to a predetermined speed. Conditions for Setting the DTC Vehicle speed goes from 0 km/h (0 mph) to more than 39 km/h (24 mph) and back to 0 km/h (0 mph) for 2 seconds without the PCM detecting a clutch transition. This occurs 7 times before the diagnostic reports a fault. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The powertrain control module (PCM) stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this information in the Failure Records. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A last test failed, or current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail. A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic. Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC. Yes you can program the PCM to not report the DTC. V.

Deja, Check the roller carefully. It might not be rolling any more. I was checking my Z out the other day with the same problem. The roller has rust between itself and the shaft and it wasn't rolling any more. This will cause the spring loaded arm to pop out and caused the noise. The best way to fix is get that roller to move and put a lot of grease in it. The other way is to replace the whole hinge assembly. GL V.

Your EFI harness should have this small wire already. This wire is coming from the PCM pin 15 Red connector. GL Nav, Please becareful with your post dude. He is not a newby so I am sure he did searched. I am sure the admin won't be happy with your post.

2. Yes. 3. yes... need to hook up the O2 sensor 4. You know the answer 5. Email Clive for the info. I remember wired up the fuel gauge for him but I don't remember. 6. Yes the speedo is funky because you have not programmed it yet. You will need to get on the highway to program it.

Scottie, How are you doing? Thanks for the post. I wish I have this info couple years ago. I used the C5 oil pan and I had to cut up the wings. I could have bought the LS2 oil pan and resell the C5 oil pan. Oh well I still have to spend the money to get the LS2 oil pan.

Hope you 250gtos guys can make use of this http://parts.factoryfive.com/newcatalog/exterior/coupetrunk.htm . I am hoping for to use this on my Cobra trunk lock. GL.

Tim, Congrats. I might be going to Florida in August for a wedding. Hope you can take me out for a spin in it.

Anyone interest in the turbo manifold? it's a single turbo SS manifold made by Greddy. If no one interest I will not waste my time to bring it back. Shoot me an email if you are interest in it and I will send you some pictures. I just uploaded a couple of pictures for this manifold in my photo album.

Thanks for the info. I just check again and I believe this is a 4.6L. The 5.4L is an optional package for this year. No buy.

Good news. My friend has just found a very nice turbo exhaust manifold and it is in SS also. I will be bringing this thing back. Along with this he found some nice fender mirrors too.

The motor looks like the one on the left of the picture you posted above. The heads hang down on both sides of the block and it's huge. I've check and 2004 has the 5.4L motor but it doesn't say DOHC or SOHC. The heads look huge so I am assuming it's DOHC. If I get the motor and swap out with some nice heads with SOHC it should fit the Z nicely and making a little more HP. Let me search around for some heads for this motor.

lol ... sorry it's DOHC and he is selling it for $1000. The motor has 55K miles on it.

Gollum, I can't thank you enough. I just check the motor and it has the HOHC. So I didn't buy it. Even though it is cheap it is hugh. Thanks again. Vinh

If you are talking about the S130 Gnose I already brought one back. 280Zforce will be using my Gnose to pull the mold and build it for some of the guys on here. If you are talking about the 240Z Gnose then I don't have one yet. I have a couple more 240Zs in my garage but I am not sure I like the Gnose look on it. will see when I get to it. Turbo headers are expensive in Japan as well but my friend can find them. So before you make a wish make sure you have the fund and ready to buy. If not I am not going to waste my time and my friend's time on it because I am not making money off it. Although some commission/Heineken would be nice.

License plates is definitely a NO> Turbo L6 header - There is one he can get for me but it's twin turbo and it's not cheap. Send me an email if you want it. Fender mirrors are expensive as well $250. Euro tail lense are expensive too, $300 for used ones.

Yes everything is expensive in Japan. I already sent an email to my friend with this link. Waiting for his reply.

I appreciate the info very much. Yep I will definitely measure the width and height of the whole thing before I buy it. Just curious do you know what type of auto trans does this thing has in it? and can I use it for another motor? Thanks V.

Thanks for the reply again. You have just convinced me to buy this motor. It is coming home tomorrow. Thanks V.

I did some searching and found some specs for this motor. 17MPH on highway and 13 for the city. Damn it drinks that much gas for a 255HP motor? It still good for a daily driver I think. I will try to search for some easy mods to get to 300HP. If I get this motor I will put it in my stock 240Z.
