Nice numbers! It says you haven't enabled sharing of folders. Mario

Nice! Congrats, Mario

Woah. Pretty sure I saw that up on eBay about a year ago. Mario

I believe so, its Palm OS 2.5 or above, so you should be fine, you just need to get the serial connector. Maybe ask at msefi.com in the palm tuning section to make sure. Mario

I believe it goes in the cabin right before MS. It also acts as a surge protector, so I've heard. I don't run one on mine, but Tony D and 1 fast Z do. Check the msefi.com forums for exact placement, or just use the instructions as if it were a stereo. Mario PS I'm in Chicago

Don't swap the heads. Swap the engines. The 79 ZX has the motor out of a 280z, which is a little smaller AND it has dished pistons. The one in the 82 has flat tops, so higher compression which is why it feels like it runs stronger. Mario PS T-top leaks can be a b!tch to fix.

Could you maybe log it? It might be reseting. You actually just need a computer hooked up to check this as it will beep when it restarts. Might be a flaky ground or power source, or it can be power line noise causing processor reset. You might want to put an inline filter (I think somewhere around a 20 amp one for a stereo) and try that. Mario

Easiest for me was to just get a resistor pack from an early FI Z car. But whatever way you do it, the Z has 2 main power cables to the injectors (it is always hot with the ignition too), and then they branch out 2 and 4 to the injectors (the thicker one goes to 4 injectors). You then just wire the resistors between the power ones and the injectors. (I hope that made sense). The pullup resistors just go to what it says. Like on the spark circuit, that one is just bridged to the 5v Vref by a resistor. Mario

Maybe an oil cooler. Mario

Yes, I too think the wheels are the first thing we Mexicans seem to do to our vehicles. Except my family, cause we don't have money to be spending for "blingin' " wheels. Like I'd ever buy them anyways...... Mario

yousendit.com is one I know of. It gives the person you send it to a week to download it. 1GB limit. If they don't allow multiple files, zip them up into one file and then send it. Mario

What mods did it have? It must be great to see the faces of the people you beat in a Volvo!! Haha, great stuff. Mario

Nissan was Datsun in the states because they didn't want to risk damaging there name if there products failed in the US. They were Nissan in Japan. At least that is what the History Channel said on the show about Zs (not Full Throttle). Mario

I guess that would be the most fun, in a sadistic kind of way:neutral:, j/k But I think the kits are only like $20-30 more then buying from digikey, so completely worth it in my book. Mario

Ok, I have finally built both Glen's Garage's kit, and DIYAutoTune's. First impressions: Glen's Garage's packaging is much nicer, he uses antistatic bags for sensitive parts, little ziplocks for normal parts, and the ICs come on foam in plastic boxes. DIYAutoTune's kit comes in plastic antistatic baggies and ziplock bags, all ICs come on ONE foam block. BOTH kits come fully labeled and components are in groups (capacitators, resistors, diodes). Fit and finish goes to Glen's Garage. If I had my camera, I would take pics. The DIYAutoTune's kits have the connectors cut-outs for the serial and db-37 as just rectangles. The Glen's Garage ones have CNC'd endplates, and the db-37 is firmly held in place by the endplate (like on the back of a computer). I also had to file down the sides of the DIYAutoTune kit for the PCB to fit in the case, but thats is known to happen because of slight differences in the manufacture of the boards. Assembly was fairly simple for both, but the DIYAutoTune's kit was missing 2 diodes (good thing I had spares from when I blew one on my install)! It also came with other diodes that are usually not necessary or not recommended for most builds, but are good to have if you have an "oddball" efi system. The Glen's Garage kit only comes with the most used and recommended parts. Now delivery time, Glen's Garage usually has around a 3 week or so wait to recieve your kit because he does get back ordered, especially in the holiday season, while most DIYAutoTune kits are in stock and ready to ship. Conclusion: If its your first build, and don't mind the wait, get one of Glen's Garage's kits. If you don't like to wait and don't mind the slightly less perfected finish of the kit, get the DIYAutoTune one. Just for your information Mario

lol Great pics! There was one on eBay a while back, I believe they used a Nissan Passport chassis or something similar, then they dropped the 1st gen shell on it. Mario

I can see that, as I think the 300C ways somewhere around that, and you can get one almost as loaded as a 300! Mario

I'm thinking I should post a clip. It flutters even when not in boost if I let go of the throttle. Its very noticeable at full boost with the full crappy exhaust back on (since the car is so quiet). Mario

Came out very nice. Cool idea on those seats. Mario

I think you end up switching to EDIS or a similar distributorless ignition. You can also keep the stock ecu and have that control timing. Mario

The thing that controls the electronic locks is by the ecu and it is called "door timer" or something like that. Is that what you were looking for? Mario

You might also find him on classiczcars.com. I'm pretty sure thats where he has pics of is 432R reproduction. Another member is JapanZ from the zcar.com forums. He hangs around the 90-96 forums and the people there seem to really like his service. He will ship stuff bought through auctions too. Mario

Long but great! Mario

Exactly what I plan to do! I will probably edit the pictures to say this.... I will put a BOV on the car, but I need to do some datalogs first because the car cut out twice yesterday under full boost at 4000 rpms (something it has never done before, even right after the install). I think somethings wrong with one of the sensors, or I have a boost leak under full boost. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions, Mario
