SUNNY Z Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Basically just a little FYI. Don't start your ls1 z car in gear if your clutch wont disengage. Have someone pull you and bump start it if at all possible. Reason being; it eats starters. Mine was started in gear 4 times, and the starter took a dump (what are friends for). So thats a $150 oops.

78zstyle Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I seriously think there should be a thread of "Lessons Learned" on this site. For example, I learned that headers from a s30 won't fit in a s130. Caused me a lot of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 78zstyle, nothing a little modification and a sledge won't fix. I know ppk managed to get some clifford research headers in his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know man, when it was in there it didn't even seem close. These are 6-1 headers, and were all over my power steering rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Saw a buddy take a ride into his tool box while he rode on the window sill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzydicerule Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sunny, thats a given, why were you diving the car on a dead clutch anyway? I murdered the L series started in mine trying to get the L28ET running, another killer of starters, surprisingly, is starting too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sunny, thats a given, why were you diving the car on a dead clutch anyway? I murdered the L series started in mine trying to get the L28ET running, another killer of starters, surprisingly, is starting too much ... If you'd read, I wasn't the one driving it. The slave cylinding gave out while my friend was driving it, about 20 miles away. Turns out that the starter wasn't bad after all. It was a bolt issue. The guy i bought the original motor from had put the starter in with new ARP bolts. Well he used SBC bolts and not LSx bolts.... . I didn't know this until yesterday when i found my starter nearly dangling by a few threads on one bolt. I re-tapped the bolt holes for the CORRECT bolts, and ended up making some from bolts bought at the local hardware store. Crisis Averted. So we celebrated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Sc5cyQHCgMg This is part of a 35 minute session. So much fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
