Hey Steve, I've been lost in the Pacific Northwest (USA) for the past 18 months and lost track of your project. How'd it come out? I remember being green with envy at all the fabulous parts you were putting on the car. Life moved me from Texas to Washington State and now I have a little 4 acre...

General Motors LS-1 from a 1998 chevrolet Camaro Z-28. It dyno'd at 390 HP at the flywheel in this application.

Love the body work. :bow: One of the nicest Z32's I've seen in a long time. Engine bay looks really nice too - but the battery is on the wrong side :conf2: - Oh Yeah - so's the driver!! :D

Saw a thread over on HybridZ of a P90A head being custom built for a 3.1 stroker motor for one of you chaps. Looks like it's going to be a pretty sweet powerplant. Any more details on it?

Steve, I remember having a problem because my check-valve went bad for some reason. Don't remember what it was but everything worked much better once I got another one in. I'd just hook it up with the valve in line. It might keep things from drifting out of position when you're in a "heavy...

Steve, Sorry about the tardy reply. Eviently I missed the notificatioin of your post. I'll take a look at the vacuum lead to the AC system. I do know that the accumulator bottle was done away with - the LS1 never seems to be at a loss for vacuum no matter what kind of load it has!:) In my...

Steve, Long time no hear. Anything new happened with the conversion? Bill

Same thing on this side of the pond. I've stripped all the insignia off the car except the vent port covers on the C pillars. People just don't know what it is and when I tell them it's a 'Datsun' they generally look even more confused. :devil: Even with the 8 year old paint job and hte...

Steve - figured I'd better get out of Jim's thread.:) I should have known you were getting the JTR headers by the photo above. The JCI headers look significantly different. Does the JTR header design use the JCI motor mount engine location? I didn't remember if it did or not. If so then...

Concurr with ARZ on his U-joint assessment. It does seem, however, that he is talking about the driveshaft, not the half-shafts. I have had no problems with the U-joints on my drive shaft. They are built like tanks. I did, however, break one on my drivers side half-shaft. I think that under...

Russ, Just read through your signature block - personally I like the old Saab 2-cylces better, Braaap, ring-ding-ding-ding, braaap,ring-ding-ding-ding,.....:o

Rob, Can't be as bad as my case. My project required a wedding ring 'upgrade' for my wife. Her 1/2 carat marquise magically turned nto a 5 carat round with an additional 3 carats of princess cuts on the platinum band. It's probably worth twice of what I have in my car. Still recovering from that...

That I knew - I was referring to the current Z33's. :350Za2: On the S30's :S30: I am aware of many very limited production models and, if that is the goal, then by all means go find a rare one. I was attempting to limit to commonly available -straight from your friendly Datsun/Nissan dealer...

Last I heard - the coupes in the JDM have been 'stretched'. I know the nose was lengthened and I believe the wheel base was adjusted too.

Correct - my experience is based primarily on the US spec vehicles. Also, I was referring only to the coupe from 1970-1978. The 2+2 model first introduced in the US in 1974 went through the latter two renditions which makes the US 260Z (1974 only) production numbers pretty small if broken down...

If you don't mind the shipping there are seveal manufacturers in the US. Look for the Autopower website for an example. They range from a bolt-in 4-pt to weld in 8 pt and higher. I have a 4-pt. bolt in in my car. It was a piece of cake to install. I didn't even have to remove the seats -...

The S30 had three body shell designs from 1970 through 1978. The early 240, 1970 until 1972, was the first and it was stiffened up for 1972 & 1973. Part way through 1974 the "280 style" body shell was incorporated that led to an even stronger and stiffer structure. Each change resulted in a...

I uploaded some additional photos into my gallery if it will help give anyone ideas of modifications for their vehicles. Several interior & sound system. Not hta anyone here really needs any ideas - y'all are the most creative bunch I've come across so far.:bow:
