The block color was scanned and then matched, from pictures it looks a little light, but hopefully in person its perfect. It's hard to judge block color, mine darkened with time/ age, but the parts with none of that the blue is pretty light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give anything to go back to the 1st rattle can color I used, Ford blue. I ended up going to Pontiac blue and it's too pale. It has darkened some with time though so it's not as "baby boy blue".

duffymahoney Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share #665 Posted January 11, 2021 280zx alternator installed. That was easy! I found a rebuilt 60amp. Which tested at 65. I like the internally regulated aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share #666 Posted January 17, 2021 I rebuilt this 82-83 turbo distributor today. New bearing, all new zinc and a new z31 cas. only issue so far is the Cas disk I have might be bent. also Cas turbo upgrade method #2. This is for a 82-83 turbo distributor. Instead of using long nuts and bolts. I thought this would be a cleaner install. Drilled out the base to allow m5 jis screws. Then threaded and tapped the maxima cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffymahoney Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share #668 Posted January 23, 2021 Making vintage 40mm SK throttle bodies into 45mm. Machinist was amazed on how square they are. .003 off of true center. These are for Andrew Kazanis as a thanks for taking such good care of my 3.1L IMG_0189.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share #669 Posted January 25, 2021 Well this looks good! Next project is to figure out is the single piece fuel rail and mounts plus injectors. Then they are ready to go on. Vintage SK ITB is coming together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post duffymahoney Posted January 30, 2021 Author Popular Post Share #671 Posted January 30, 2021 From idea to test Fit in a week. Cnc cut next week. Only tweak is matching the step and radius of the step to the throttle bodies. This will be a decorative mount for a single piece fuel rail. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZBUILTBYME Posted February 11, 2021 Share #672 Posted February 11, 2021 Hey duff Love your build mate! Safari gold, black RKRs, red calipers! Your taste is impeccable! Few questions for you as looking at doing a few things the same as you, 1. With the 15x8s RKRs did you get any rubbing with the bc coilovers or big brake kit? 2. How have you found silverlines stage 3 kit? Performance wise, done any light track work? Did the brakes hold up? Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
