getoffmyinternet Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 I think I just missed a good deal on a 300zx MAF but I was unsure if it was the right kind. There seem to be a lot of different part numbers for these things, who's got em? I am right in thinking the 300zx MAF will work right? I'm not sure on year specifics though. Anyway, if there's something I should know, pm me. I'm just trying to find a cheap pair on ebay and all I have to go on is 80mm 300zx. Is it imperative that they are specific model or are at least both identical to each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 First purchase! I know I'm slow. R32 Repair manuals on CD. Lol. There's another copy if anyone else wants one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Skyline-R32-R33-OEM-Service-Repair-Manuals_W0QQitemZ220166493018QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220166493018 Also, apparently the guy I bought the engine from used the term "uncut" loosely because I was taking a closer look and found that the plugs for the MAFs have been cut off, so now I need to find two MAFs AND the plugs.

Careless Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 why'd you purchase that? it's available online in various forms. tisk tisk. and as for the MAFs. use two TT Z32 mafs or two Q45 mafs if you want to handle big power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom280zx Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 hi guys, Hayden here this is my first post to hybridz im looking too rb26dett my 280zx, ive got a rb26dett with 26box lined up for 5.5k im new to the rbz conversion so bare with me First of all i would like a few opinions on the makeing of the custom sump. My old man is a fitter welder by trade, is it a difficult task? will i have to design my own? or would anyone have a template that i could follow? Secondly, after setting up the awd transmition too rear, will the stock 280 driveshaft fit? or is there a driveshaft out of something else that will fit snugg? thanks guys! much help needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driveshaft fitment you'd need to check. There is no AWD S130 with an RB26 box that I know of. It might be worth it to sell to someone and get a 25box. and 5.5 K? you can find that for 4.5 or less infact, you can get one with an RB25 transmission for about 4.5 give or take. that should set you right up as for the custom sump, greddy and trust make weld'on sumps =) so if ur old man is a welder, buy one, and then get the dimensions, copy it, and then sell the greddy one ebay when you're done not a bad idea.

getoffmyinternet Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Can anyone get me a better price than $175 for the motor and trans mount kit that was quoted to me from nismoparts.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 AND the waste gate on one of the turbos is smashed. Greaaaaaat. ... I'm seeing 5 wires on the mafs, but the wiring diagram I bought for r32s shows a 5plug with 4 wires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getoffmyinternet Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 I think I got it covered now. I found one of the 5plugs, but the other was cut off. If my scouring on ebay serves me right, I'm either looking for the J60 maf that came on the r32 or an n62 from a 300zx for about half the price, right?

amorfin Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hey getoffmyinternet, I would recommend researching a lot more before you go on with this project. What good are the mounts for a good price if they are not made to fit the RB in a S30? And depending on what you will do, if you go with a stand alone EMS you might not even need the MAFs. Research a lot or you'll end up spending a lot more money than needed. Just some friendly advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 yeah, unless you have a powerFC or something that makes use of the MAF then i wouldn't bother with getting another one right away. see if you can scrounge up some more money before you buy the MAF set. you can do more with the standalone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 It seems that it would be both cheaper and easier to get the mafs than to buy a standalone ems because one of those would be much more of a hassle to put in than one I already have that is mostly together, is built for the engine, and just needs a few accessories to be complete. Don't the pros outweigh the cons of going with the stock ems since I am already heading that direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't the pros outweigh the cons of going with the stock ems since I am already heading that direction? well if you get an alternate MAF, then you have to rom-tune the stock ems to reconfigure it's data acquisition from the MAF or use a piggyback system, which will start to add up after a couple of them are piggybacked onto one another. and from there it becomes a guessing game, and not quite a proper tune. but it's ok for moderate levels of power.

Evan Purple240zt Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 My advice, this being your first swap, is to make it as stock as you can. makes getting bugs ironed out 100x easier. My first real turbo swap was an L28t with SDS etc... it took ALONG time because I was so green. I should have stuck it in there stock and called it good.

getoffmyinternet Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Cancel that. So my best bet is to pay the extra for the stock maf it sounds like? That would be the j60 then right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan I guess that's a more sensible way of looking at it. If you wanna build the car and have immediate fun with it, it's probably the best bet. you can always add EMS later.
