Update on the 260z! Due to my dad being paranoid, he's decided to get the RWC before putting on the G-nose, flares, fender flares and rear wing. Therefore, we had to pretty her up a bit, satin black bumpers, repaired the front apron and no more rust to speak of! Woooooooooooo! I also decided to go with the completely black interior with a Datsun deep dish rim rather than the tuner egg steering wheel. (Plus I'm used to power steering my 280ZX so I need more leverage on the steering wheel, therefore bigger is better!)

Hey guys, just wondering whether one of the original deep dish wheels would fit onto the steering shaft of a 280ZX. Cheers Zac

Thanks mate! They actually fit pretty well, whilst they are usually recessed on the S30 body, I like how they contour naturally with the edge of the S130 body! I'm so lucky that everything I've tried has actually worked out, S30 wing, 260z rear lights, a stroked L26, it's a cross breed!

Hey mate, it's actually a Topstage wing made for a 240z or 260z. I did a bit of work to fit it! Can be seen here. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,10134.0.html

Hey Brendo, Not sure if this of any help but I own a 260z 2+2 which I'm unfortunately going to have to get rid of in the very near future as my parents are buying a house and need the money! I bought the car from Shaun (sexualsushi) on the forum and it's currently rust free, has a newly recovered interior bar the dash and we're now just doing a full head job and gasket rekit on the engine. It hasn't got the best paint and it's actually styled like the link below (but in white with black flares, wing and fender mirrors) http://cornerbalance.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/260z014.jpg Not sure if you're interested but if you're desperate and can't find one closer to home then just send me a PM! I'm so cut that I have to sell it as I only got it about 3 months ago and it was my dream car Just have to stick with my 280ZX! WOOO S130 REPPIN'! Good luck in your search but just know that the option is there! I'll upload some pictures into it's build thread some time in the next month hopefully with all body work done! EDIT: Sorry if some people are getting the wrong idea, I don't own the car in the link posted above, my 2+2 is just styled in a very very similar fashion! Cheeers Zac

Okay I know I'm really lazy, partly due to final exams but.. This is where it is now When I regain motivation, I'll update this more! :S

Hey mate, I know you're eager to sell your cars but it's customary to introduce yourself before seeking to sell something. Please consider posting a little about yourself in the Introductions and Forum Etiquette thread just so people don't get the wrong idea. This is a community, not a for-sale pinboard. Cheers Zac

I know it's not a common part, however I've tried dealing with MSA and they've blown me off 3 times so far. Anyone have one sitting unused or will it have to be custom made?

I'm in, when will the order be placed? I'm still in the middle of my finals so haven't had much work lately. If it's in around 2 - 3 weeks away then I'm in!

Not only the ends but also the height, it's a lot taller than the standard BRE wing, I checked against Matt's BRE.

Hmmm... +1

I've looked for videos of the SC chargers and yeeeaaahhhh they sound pretty ridiculous. But if I were to rig up the SC to be turned on and off with a button from inside, and if I were to just engage it at idle, that wouldn't put too much load on the clutch I would imagine. This is only going to be used every now and again, for either track nights or short blats when I'm feeling lucky For the sake of simplicity I'm thinking about going with the SC14 because of the clutch, I realise they're less efficient but they're also much easier to pass off as an air compressor than an Eaton with the bypass. I'm quite new to all of the forced induction mechanics so I thought I'd start simple, they hold their value if they're kept functional so if I get it set up and want to change chargers it shouldn't be too hard. Thanks for the link MaygZ! I'm not so much going for top performance but rather just something different that gives a little bit more boot at lower revs. EDIT: Just have a few more questions. For one, how do you set up the air flow. Say I wanted to run the car without the supercharger engaged, if I only have intake running through the supercharger, would the turbines not get in the way and cause crap air flow? Does this mean you need two intakes? And the other question I have is about the wiring. Does a supercharger need to be run through an ECU? Or can it be a simple on and off setup? Also are these the floats you were talking about? Nitrophyl? http://www.rogerscorp.com/ec/producttypes/4/NITROPHYL-Floats.aspx

Thanks heaps for the information Alan, really really appreciate it. As soon as I flog my 260z, I'll be looking at this setup. Last question, do the eaton's run on a clutch system? Can they be toggled on and off at will? I'll enquire around some local shops some time after christmas as to the work being done on the dellortos and hopefully I'll update my build thread with a story of success!

The only shaping we did was planing the egdes near the rear quarter panels so they didn't touch when the boot was closed and shaped grooves at the edges of the hatch as it's slightly wider on the 280's than the S30s. Benny is right on, it's really good quality, even when attacked by an angle grinder! Also with the S30 rear lights, I don't plan on fitting them into the 280 light recesses just because they're too small to do so. I'm happy with the way they fit now and they're air tight so I'll be keeping them this way for a while to come!

Is the setup for the dellortos expensive? I've seen a lot of the SC12 and SC14's around and I'm finding it hard to find any Eaton blowers. Would you highly recommend finding an Eaton M62/M90 rather than settle for an SC14? I have headers on the motor at the moment running through a 2.5'' exhaust to the back, how exactly does the intercooling system work? Does it cool the air or the supercharger itself? As for the CARTECH blow through kits, the only ones I can find are all sold and the original website (jimcookracing) seems to be shut down. Do you have a link to this setup? I'm prepared to build things from scratch as it's cheaper that way!

I'm just curious as to whether this may be a realistic future project. I'm running a 2.7 litre L26 with triple dellorto DHLA40's and it's supposedly had about 7k spent on the head and block by Datrally. Would it be possible to mount the supercharger down where the aircon compressor sits and then have a blow through setup with a custom airbox running through the DHLA40's? It'd need re-jetting of course, but my main question is whether the carbies would be able to take around 5 - 6psi of blow through pressure? EDIT: I've done some more research and I've come up with the numbers of 1430cc of air displacement per revolution, they were initially set up to spin 1.25 times per 1 crank revolution. Now taking that into account, at 6000rpm, the supercharger is doing around 7500rpm, giving it a flow rate of about 11000LPM, that's around 390 CFM. Now I realise that because of belt size and what not the pulley ratios are going to be out, but assuming I can get it to run at around 5 - 6 psi, would it be safe? Would it even be effective?

So I bought a topstage bobtail destined for a 240z or 260z, however, being one of the lonely S130 owners, I decided to do something different. Just wanted to show in case other S130 owners were wondering if S30 wings would ever fit, it's actually not too hard! With about 2 hours and an angle grinder, you can get them to fit like a glove. Pictures below!

Ouch!! Hope the recovery is quick and somewhat relatively painless!

+1 for 11th of December!!

+1 My finals don't finish until the end of November

As an S130 guy, I can say this is one of the reasons they get such a bad rap Also this had me chuckling to myself for quite a while.

Matt! Just wondering what's the go with all your parts! Any news on the BRE?

This same problem happened to me, scared the living bejeezus out of me. Just unloaded it off the truck, stalled, checked oil, there wasn't any, thought I might have locked the engine. Turned out it was the dodgy igntion, turn it ever so slightly and it'll start. I see it as a built in anti-theft system

Any idea what sort of power this thing puts out? I'd be interested but waiting unfortunately have too many projects on the go at the mo.

They were old newspapers!
