Does anyone happen to know the bolt to bolt measurement on a factory turbo exhaust flange? The four bolts to the downpipe and if they are symmetrical.

We had all three middle studs in at one point and couldnt get the holes to line up still. I actually work in a metal fab shop, thats what adds to my concerns about heating it back up. I spoke with a few of the guys in the shop also and none of them knew of any tricks. I am hoping someone here does. My last resort thought was to grind the manifold down a little, grind down the thermostat housing to get some clearance and then drill out the bolt hole. But i would prefer not to do that.

Has anyone ever had this happen and if so how did you fix it? I’m afraid heating it will cause it to crack once pressure is applied to straighten it out. It’s only off by about 1/8-1/4”. And it came off a running car.

I have been unable to locate an accurate wiring diagram for wiring my msq with D585 coils to my L-series motor. I am looking for a complete msq wiring diagram and the coil wiring diagram for the d585 if anyone has them available. And help or guidance is appreciated. And any smart arse comments are rightfully deserved. Thanks Guys.

zKars I sent you a message.

That is a interesting looking setup on there. Right now I was leaning towards a trigger wheels from DIY and the same sensor, but this is definitely interesting.

Oh no I am running megasquirt. But I can’t see any glimpse of the trigger wheels on these setups.

All these setups are awesome looking, but where are you guys getting your signal from?

@duffymahoney that is an amazing looking setup.

I have searched on several forums and a lot of the information I could find seemed to be old. I will openly admit I am horrible at the search feature so that probably played a large part in it. Here’s my question can someone please point me in the direction of a good right up for a distributorless ignition setup. Preferably with LS coil packs? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone on here wired up a msq system themselves? I’m considering staying fuel injected and running that

No worries. If more pics would help I can grab some when I get home.

That is not me.

Yea but I can’t locate a good one showing the linkage tying to the lower mounting point. The only one I see how’s mounts that my intake doesn’t have.

Does anyone Pics of the throttle linkage for this carb setup?

Haha Yeah top mounts was not what is was meaning to say. I meant top draft, which I still think is wrong. But I am in magnolia

Also I have the top mounts that kind of make me nervous about the power they can put out. From what I’ve heard.

Thanks guys. I’m actually planning on running a aftermarket pump that I will either run on a toggle switch or will tie to a different relay.

Just a thought I have had wanting some of your opinions on. I have been collecting parts to swap my 280z over to carbs for about a year now. And between that and replacing bushing I am finally at a point where I have to make the final decision (for now) if I want to stay fuel injected or if I want to go with the carb/cam setup I have collected the parts for. I am doing the research right now to make sure I have all the parts, but my question is this would it be worth it to buy one of the universal wiring kits and rewire the whole car? I know a lot of wiring can be removed when going to the carb but it would also allow me to replace the old wiring and give it a cleaner look. Also I could remove the fusible links.

Anyone looking for either? I’m located near Houston, tx

Can anyone tell me what a fuel sending unit and a tank out of a 78 280z would be worth? I know at the end of the day it’s worth what’s someone is willing to pay but and I put is appreciated.

Man I am sorry I totally misread your post. But yea just on the timeline and photos do help a lot

I actually posted it on houston Datsun.

I’m actually a member on there already. I found one locally though.

Well I was fortunate to locate a parts car locally and am getting a pretty good deal on the panel.
