Z1 fail again.... :/

otherwise im screwed!:biggrin:

....in order to avoid fouling and to increase bhp (in theory) will it fit?

i really wanted it for my na but then the engine blew..... now id be happy with just an engine :) apparently there is an issue with the whole 'x2 of everything' i got talked out of it a year ago when i first started enquiring but then got talked back into it when i finished the car lol!

iv noticed the pistons are quite thin compared to some cars iv owned, my bc coilovers have a similar size piston too, i wonder why?

:detective: excellent!! ok so, tt ecu, na loom, na pump so the 3rd possition is not really required on the pump or ecu then? can i just buy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-90-96-300zx-Twin-Turbo-Or-Non-Turbo-Racing-Chip_W0QQitemZ250582725332QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3a57e4f2d4#ht_1381wt_1165 this chip and throw it in the NA ecu? would that do the same thing as buying a tt ecu?

so if i can get hold of a profec specII its non specific enough just to fit? also - iv just read this NA to TT swap, no need to get an EBC Just thaught id post some info, maybe usefull. all the threads saying when you do a NA to TT conversion, you need to use an electronic boost controller, as the NA loom doesnt have the connectors for the boost solenoids (without these conected youl be only on 7PSI) you dont need the TT loom, nor do you need a EBC. you can just wire them to an ignition powered live. ive run each one to an earth (the engine) then the posative just needs to go to an IGNITION powered live. it doesnt matter which wire on the solenoids you use for the earth as their not polarity sensative. dont run them to a constant 12+ tho, or as i have found out youl have a flat battery the next day just thaught this maybe usefull info to the forum for future cases - will i still need the na ecu chiping? if so, where do i get a remap i can fit a chip myself i did it in the rx7

whats wrong with this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Z32-300ZX-Gizzmo-MS-IBC-Electronic-Boost-Controller_W0QQitemZ110463793057QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item19b827b7a1#ht_1774wt_939

(profec)

in the NA - TT swap im going to attempt to run the NA ecu with an electronic boost controller with a modified 3 wire pump to manipulate the correct fueling (first of all is that right/do able?) second of all (mainly because the guy doing the conversion assures me after reading this) http://upload.z1motorsports.com/Z1%20Z32%20NA%20to%20TT%20Conversion.pdf thats all ill need to do...... soooo all i need right now is an electronic boost controller, the one on my Rx7 was a single electronic solenoid..... do i need a twin solenoid? or a T peice to split the turbos? or can anormal single electronic boost controller take 2 inputs? the guy recons i can get a second hand greaddy protec b for around £150, do i need it to have a pair of solenoids or will a single + t-piece suffice? :)

i keep looking at it as i get out of my van, looks great, knocks like hell when i start it - dislike!!!!

hmm! well i need to formulate a list of things that fit, ie if i use the na box can i use the na clutch? do i need to swap props? or diff? what part of my exhaust will i need to replace? what about the clocks? if im using a uk TT engine in a jap na car what problems am i gonna face? fuel pump ok to keep? am i missing anything? need as much info as possible iv booked a trip to the ring 22 July to the 28th - it HAS to be finished and ready for then, im not going in my van :( i really need as much help as possible iv got a guy who'll convert and fit the engine for between 6-800 quid depending on ball ache

ill do a twin engined c18det + 13bt conversion lmao

i cant call at the mo, iv taken your number down ill give you a call tonight or maybe tomorrow if it gets to late, can i use my old gearbox? or do i need a new one? of ffs i just fitted a brand new exeedy clutch too!!!ffs

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, your 3 and a half hours away from me, i have a van......... are jap engines better than uk engines? what problems would i come up against with it being a uk engine?

mines jap? what else would i need to buy? if it would fit?:clap:

yea, your right, ah christ, VG's's are basically C18det's aret they?, same era, same linage with 2 more cylinders? bottom end like a chocolate block and dieing in there millions..... the lowest bidder that built them must'v been the same as the c18det's - should'v known, i need an sr20det or an rb26 or something reliable, all i hear on this forum is is engine problems, i was attempting to prove people wrong by turning it into a nos injected drift car to be different! if i put an old tt lump in there id be no better off, i might as well put an 13Bturbo engine in instead for reliability lol!!! i look at my mates with ps13's, silvia's, 200's 240's and 180's they all share the same engine (converted in most cases), all hammer shit out of it, and they all last, never miss a beat, fast, light weight, reliable - drifting round trafford park again never looked so far away!! especially after being off the road for a year last time!!! fffffffs im pissed off!!!!

ok look, if i dont drive it..... the average cost of a rebuild on an NA would be ________ if i get a tt engine for £650 or whatever the cost of 'conversion bits' would be________

oh god, im gonna have to get a TT engine........ some one point me in the direction of a conversion thread please...... :(

but its NA? there weedy and pathetic with very little power how can it be dead after 90k miles? full of lovely oil and well maintained? ........ah shit....................

YA A BIT...........:helpsmilie: the door swage is plated, do you mean for the sill filler?

ie the handle? na i dont like wing mirror poppers, i wish id heard of the door fillers before i started tho!! lol!!

damn mot! i might raise the back, its not scrubbing or scraping, got home and its now making this noise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho4qfEbKw-w

nope, the only time it scraped was when the arch liner fell off because id used wood screws to hold it on (prat), obviously im avoiding speed bumps like the aids..... i mean plague! lol!
