panachedk Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Here we go again, so bear with me guys. here is some background. i have a 75 280z that will be receiving a s13 blacktop sr20. after my prelim mockups i know i have notch the cross member to fit my greddy pan. here are what i still need to figure out 1. what speedometer are you guys running? Im going to go with all autometer gauges and am just curious which model works the easiest of this swap 2. what intercooler set up and piping size are you guys running? 3. anyone with an after market shifter have any issues? my motorset came with an aftermarket (looks like b&m, but with no markings). thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 2. 2.5" vmount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 1. Any electronic speedometer from Autometer will be perfectly fine. 2. On our personal car we are running a 25x12x4 V-mount setup with 3" piping, but customer cars run a 25x12x3 all day long with 2.5" piping 3. No issues with any aftermarket shifters, from no-name brand B&M style to the C's style short shifters as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panachedk Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 is the wiring pretty straight forward on the speedo? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Very straight forward, there is only two wires coming off the speedo sensor on the SR and then you just follow the directions from the Autometer gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonster80 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Alex, I got a question regarding fuel delivery. I am almost done with my swap into a 70 240z. I am pretty sure I will need to find the hard fuel lines from a 280z FI to allow enough volume. Am I correct? I got my pump and fuel cell complete. Plumbing is one of the last little projects to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panachedk Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 i bought 25ft of braided stainless fuel line from summit and am plumbing it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonster80 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I understand that this method of straight braided lines are not authorized by racing technical inspections. Could be wrong but I read something along these lines in the fuel delivery forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panachedk Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 not sure? ive never failed a tech inspection before because of them. i know that they cant be run through the passenger cabin if they arent hard lines. eitherway, summit sells fuel hard line too. in the end it will be easier to go custom with it rather than playing with all the pre bent stock ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hard line is WAY cheaper and you don't have to follow the factory lines exactly. I think it's NHRA that has rules about having more than a certain length of braided line - seems like it's 4ft, but that's too short.

SR240Z Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 greenmonster, i would look into getting the summit hard lines if you do not want to run steel braided all the way from the back to the fuel rail. We are running a few 240s with fuel cells and the summit hardlines as well as others running stock fuel tank and lines but with a surge tank and no issues with fuel starvation on either setup.

panachedk Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 alright, now im confused again, i have an auto meter tach hooked up the cas but it doesnt read, i noticed that vildini is running this same tach on at least one of their sr cars, what do you have them hooked up to and did you need any signal modifiers? im truly confused now. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If you are running stock ecu and coil packs you need to get an MSD Distributorless tach adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 No tach output wire on the SR ecu like the RB one has? Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
