welcome to the site! since you plan on doing an engine swap, i also recommend you stop by hybridz.org, since all kinds of crazy motor swaps take place over there; as well as the "more common" RB and 2JZ swaps... Jason

^ya, i remember on my grey Z that i kept trying to troubleshoot a fuel problem. then i replaced my distributor with an E12 280zx dist and my car ran wonderful!

please post updates! sounds like this is going to.... sound great!

i <3 bimmers but i know what you mean. bimmerforum is WAAAAYYYY different then here. i gotta say ZEDS FTW!!!! wait, that makes 2 zeds......

i say do it.... IF you can find someone who will get it right! my 0.02

spam musubis?

thanks

i forgot to add that lowell, what did the hard brake lines cost you and where did you get them?

the 91 318is had the DOHC 1.8L, right? oh duh, you have M42 posted.. ought to be a fun little 2K2 with the engine in there! always been a fan of those...

yes. just requires trimming about 3/4" off either side of the dust shield

hopefully! boy that's gonna be one happy buyer....

don't tempt me....

listen to this man! just because he works for ZT doesn't mean he's trying to sell you something just to make $$! those videos are a MUST for someone who wants to learn how to tune SUs

if you weren't in TX i'd swap you my entire 72 SU setup for your entire FI setup

tellin ya, if i had a way to go up there and bring it back i'd take you up

nice! a ton of cars in my area....

how about opting for some period correct multi point harnesses? granted, if you want a "stock" looking car, that won't fly...

webbing is on the later manifolds (with egr?) TB = throttle body plenum = tubes that go from the "log" of the manifold to the ports on the head. the "fingers" of the manifold. size of plenum refers to the area and flow inside of the fingers

another update - i'm going to buy the 280ZX alternator through autozone and use my externally regulated on as the core. i'm also buying the clutch collar from MSA for 19.77. so assuming that all goes well with the moustache bar and speedo gear from Will and the radiator from Rex, i should be all set! (UNLESS anyone near by has a 5 speed so i don't have to do my first attempt at rebuilding a tranny.... wink wink...)

thanks! unfortunately i don't have time to head down to otay and check out ecology; the driving time would take away all of my "work on car time"

done and done! thanks will!

sweet! good deal on that suspension....

rex - see you tomorrow! will - do you know the weight of the moustache bar (and packaging dimensions, roughly) so that i can figure out shipping? also, would you be willing to pull a speedo gear arse'y from one of your 5 speeds (for 3.7 ratio)? everyone else - i've decided that if i cannot find a tranny locally, i am going to spend the $130 (and weeks of reading and labor) on a rebuild kit for my current tranny. since rex is local and has a radiator for me, we can knock that off the list! also, thank you so much for your willingness to help me out. it's GREATLY appreciated....

that would be pretty cool i suppose. just as long as you get the non-restrictive ones and you might want to run a third one inline as a resonator; otherwise it would be too loud

wow... KILLER pics
