I'm BLUE Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 ^^^ This is awesome !!! :cool: Keep up the good work. rus ... ouch.. I was lucky enough to have a friend with a z31 turbo that recently blew a tranny. Well L28et is quite fun as well, I almost did a vh45 swap but needed custom headers and not enough money. I'm surprised I got all the wiring right. :confused: This was my first time wiring an engine. That's impressive on the vh45 wiring... custom headers sounds like a @#$@# and a duece.. 1 Quote Link to comment

B) Yup and there was barely any room for them there And I'm pretty sure car would handle better with VG than with Vh45 Quote Link to comment
rus Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well it's been a while. I couldn't work on my z for over a month but now I'm finally back at it. No major updates, just started to organize and clean up engine bay. Tested WG actuator, which is a stock z31 actuator modified to fit, for some reason it starts to open at 10psi and fully opens at 14. I guess the spring was damaged by heat when we welded the rod.

rus Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Does anyone know the ohm ranges of z31 and 280z temperature gauge sensors? Trying to figure out if I can use z31 sensor with 280z gauge. Quote Link to comment
rus Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Close up pictures of my downpipe and modified turbo relocation pipe: Also got this new Direct NOS injection setup Quote Link to comment
rus Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Since stock crossover pipe was right next to stock 280z brake lines I had to reroute them. Bought a roll of brake line and rerouted all of the brake lines in the engine bay, including clutch line. Put the brake booster and downpipe back on only to realize that downpipe is touching the brake booster... I guess the brake booster I got at the junkyard is either slightly larger or shaped differently than the stock brake booster. Quote Link to comment
rus Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 I decided to use an empty Q45 fuse box to hold my relays and fusible links. Fuse and relay holders can be unclipped and removed. I only needed a relay holder and 2 fusible link holders. Quote Link to comment
Gregmatic Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 great job on the swap! I'm in the beginning phase of mine and have the wiring and a few other things worked out but I was curious as to how you actually mounted the motor. Did you fabricate motor mount brackets or use some modified mounts from an obscure car? Some pics would be greatly appreciated as well! Quote Link to comment
