  1. Dan, Are you going T56? After weighing my options, I think I'm leaning more towards the Nissan RS5R30A (Z32) 5spd. It's every bit as beefy and about 1/4 the price of a T56. Clearly an adapter plate will be needed, but I don't think I'll have to cut the trans-tunnel (eyeballing at this point). The 300ZX guys seem to be happy with them.
  2. SQC, I wasn't sure where to really post this thread. However, I decided on the Newbie section as I will starting from square one(again). It's a familiar story to those familiar with the StarQuest cars: engine fire. I've been toiling with what to do with this car for months. Rebuild?... 4g63?... After running the numbers on several builds weighing cost:performance goals, I finally settled on a force inducted LSx based v8. Here is my cross-post from LS1tech.com: http://ls1tech.com/f...s-together.html I can see there are already two LSx builds on-going in the Hybrids sub-forum. I hope to also contribute to keeping these cars alive(even bastardized).
  3. Sorry I couldn't make it out guys... The idle control system in the car started freaking out while under load. It took a long time to figure out what was causing the bucking and hesitation. I was ripping out plugs, plug wires, checking electrical connections. I had to acquire replacement parts and swap it out Saturday. Moral of that story... go MPI and stand alone...
  4. ". Magna intake fully modded for use on a 2.6 conquest, starion (Im pretty sure by *DM performance) Unused, with new gasket set." Price?
  5. Thanks everyone for the rapid response. I was able to source one.

  8. Good morning, Lance, I'm interested in purchasing your turbo oil feed pipe (MD084550), provided it doesn't leak. Price? Thanks, Chris
  9. I'm interested in just the rear tower brace... maybe we can work out the purchase?
