wow, of all the stupid little parts on my new car missing i didnt care cuase i would replace with better or eliminate. but one specifically important item is missing... TRANNY BOLTS> i think ALL OF THEM. so if any one and i mean ANYONE has an extra set that will fit a 260z PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know asap

EDIT: i think i even need the bolts for the tranny crossmember so let em know if you got those or the ones to bolt the tranny to the block.... HELP FAST its the one and only thing holding me back.... GAH!

 

P L E A S E!!!!! i want to at least put to gether my drive train and get the car all purtied up and then start the wires and crap. yeesh. mabye i should just do a motor swap with FI though so i can just get a new wiring harness and screw all this other junk.....

EDIT: also soem studs are **** on my exhaust manifold and i got the crappy carbs so if any one has SU carbs that run by throttle linkage not the shitty vacumme and headers for a 260z let me know. im very interested i got that stupid EGR valve thats gonna be gone and a stupid smog rail that also i want to eliminate.. i want all emmissions and unneccessary vacume lines gone... and is there any way to get rid of the vacumme advance style distributor????

 

Take a trip to your local NAPA Auto Parts. They should have a whole wall of nuts, bolts, & studs.

 

tranny bolts for a datsun 260 Z... you really think they would have the proper lenth diameter metric and threading style... ???

 

yes... thas why I said it. It's not like the 260Z had super special tranny bolts. They are practically the same from 70-96. Most all the Nissans use the same basic tranny bolts. And if NAPA doesn't have them, look up a nut & bolt specialty store in the phone book & contact them.

 

hmmm... good deal. i dont know, if they changed and what not. ok... well then. i wish i could find a good write up on eliminating emmession crap and vacumme lines. and so... tranny bolt problem solved, i want to find a header to eliminate emmission crap and smog bar and i think diff carbs teh SU's (the ones that dont suck such as tune shity and cause vapor lock) and i kinda dont want the vacumme advanced distibutor... you know i mean, where im from for this car emmisions are no go we don have to take them.. soo... eliminate all emmissions. step two, its a carb'd car, why the hell do i need vacumme? yah know? eliminate as much crap as possible.

 

ok... did research.. i just need some parts.. and i think i got this. gonna get a header and new triple carb setup i beleive... however before i can use those... i need studs for the carbs and headers to bolt to the engine head... its missing like half the studs... UGH... this ****in hardware shortage is the only ****in problem an its SOOOO annoying.. not a huge deal but when stupid hardware is what is stopping your from making your car advance in progression... its really annoying... so... an suggestions on where to get studs and nuts for the studs now? another NAPA thing you think???

 

Indeed mi amigo.

 

oh... haha jeez didnt catch that at all... nismo.. you keep checking up on me in this thread cause so far your the only one that is worth any thing... lol. jsut kidding... but your the only one who has answered questions and posted in this thread... i think im gonna take a stud and one of my dads tranny bolts to a napa or something tommorow then find them and what not and get started on this biotch.. and get diff carbs and headers... and ill ahve the car running in no time........ i hope...

 

hey. umm do teh SU carbs like on my 260 (i believe the flat tops) need soem sort of vacumme to work? like hooked up to the vacumme system or like would tehy run fine and junk with out like teh air cleaner? cause i dont know, there are a lot of random hoses on that aircleaner that make no sense to me.... i just... man i dont get carbs lol. i dont understand how the slides open up and down inside teh carb... is it like internal pressure from the engine its bolted to itself? you know what i mean????

 

huh? your hella confusing, you know that right. any hardware store should have bolt...unless you live in a town smaller then my cali high school. yes and no on the vacuum for carbs, it just depends. And since i've never worked on a s30 i donno..why not l28et it..thats what i'm doing

 

well... cuase my parents are dirty money grubbing pirates and my mom stole my money out of my account transfered it into my savings account which is conviniently still ... a minor account... so i cant do squat with my own money unless momy is there to hold my hand while i do it... and its not confusing.. its just all this stupid vacumme ****... its redic... its like the carbs off this crotch rocket i used to have... if i had the money i would just buy the 4-barrell carb manifold and then buy a 4 barrell holly carb cuase they are simple as **** and good HP to... im trying to find a cheap *** l28et. or free even, but its hard. like S/C got that free Z from J and is keeping the motor even though he got a a built one. so im **** outta luck there. found a free L28et and support accessorries on hybridz but the guy wants help pulling it and lives in virginia. so i need to go like. junkyard hopping or somehitng. and my dad is pissing me off so im very well considering stealing his tranny bolts from his car cause he is a D-bag since i got a car...

 

damn that sucks, yeah i'm having trouble finding a trailer to get my zx to cali, and my moms is being a bitch tring to screw me out of taking it. just so she can control me. its pretty messed up. its kind of kikie

 

If you have a truck, just rent one of those U-Haul car trailers... http://www.uhaul.com/guide/index.asp...-autotransport

Get the tow dolly: http://www.uhaul.com/guide/index.asp...owing-towdolly

 

thats what i did... you go from destination to destination. no bringing the trailer back. i got the ccar trailer though im better to my car than to put it on a dolly and i towed the biotches with a 2001 dodge grand caravan... HAHA talk about an experience in driving... besides that... you can ship it for aboot 500 im sure since your not TO far from cali... or just drive the damn car.. its your only one isnt it? otherwise sell it get CASH MONEY and buy one you like more or somethingwhen you get there... or does your car no run? i dont remember...

 

so for the most part.. at least right now.. i got just about everything figgured out.. plus i got this sweet CD rom called microfiche. it has lots o ****. but my only question and hopefully some one has an answer for it.. since it is a carbed engine im tryin to eliminate all vacumme lines... so i got the distributor tht has a vacumme advance on it... i was wondering if there is a way to change that out... get rid of it... anyone???

 

If you buy a complete aftermarket Crane Distributor you can. MSA sells them. I think they are about $200... but you'll want an aftermarket ignition box to control it.

 

yeesh.... well... il see if i can get it to worki with what i got now i guess. if only i had my damn money i could have just about any motor put into it....
