@Matt300ZXT Wiring up the 1uz isn't that hard. Just take it sensor by sensor. I've got one in my 240sx running on an MS-I v3. I can't speak for the sc400, but if it is like mine, there are a few wires that run through the engine harness just to get through the firewall. I figured that out...

For my personal information, may I ask where you are getting this deal? Someone parting out a project? I have another engine and trans sitting here looking to be stuck together and I'm just exploring other creative options beyond what I came up with before. Thanks Watty

In the two s14's we have running, this hasn't been a problem. On one, the oil pan was cut back to make room for the stock sway bar. With the addition of an oil cooler and filter relocation kit, the whole system holds 5 quarts. You could make a skid plate out of some heavier steel if you feel...

Nevermind. I just saw who you were and realized that I owe you a response email from over a week ago. Sorry man, I've been extremely busy between work and home. I will see what I can get together for you. Watty

Here you go. Happy reading. :) http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9375 Watty

I am currently running a 3SGTE flywheel and pressure plate with a N/A z32 clutch disc. This is mated to a Nissan KA tranny that came stock in my s14. If/when I swap out to a z32 tranny, I will probably keep the same setup but go with and upgraded pressure plate and clutch disc. Just have to...

It looks like those things are tiny. 300cc. A couple of places said they are only good for sub 1 liter engines and I would have to agree with that. Watty

I have a 1uz running on MS-I v3.0 right now. I think the 12-1 setup was very easy. The dual dizzy's actually make it easier because you don't have to have a #1 cylinder indicator due to the even firing and injection of the engine. Here is my .msq file. It was built for MS-I on 29y4...

I am having a problem with my 1uz. I had my fan pulley bearing lock up about a month ago and snap the serpentine belt. It seemed fine while I drove home on the battery. The car sat for a while and when i went to drive it, it was running rich and started to cut out like the spark was being...

If there is no pilot bushing, what does the alignment tool slide into? Does the crank just have a small alignment hole? It has to go into something, otherwise you are just guessing on clutch alignment. I'm intrigued. Keep me posted. Watty

What I did was leave a little slack in the tranny studs. This allowed me to insert the shaft through the clutch disc and into the pilot bushing. After that, I supported the transmission in roughly a zero load position and tightened everything down. I haven't had any problems so far. I think...

Yup. I am. http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9375 I hope you have access to a lathe. My friend is going to make a couple of pilot bushing adapters in a few weeks. I'm sure he could be convinced to make an extra one or two. Just shoot me an email if you want more details...

What did you do to quiet the pump down? I have tried this before and have one of the pumps laying around. It worked well, but the vibration from the pump was very annoying and louder than the engine it was on. Thanks Watty

Part #2 More Pics: Engine Mounts: Tranny Adapter: Hope that helps some of you. Also, you can check out: http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q260/wattydchi/ There are more pics here. Here I go back to the garage...

Here is a lot of the detail that I copied in from another forum. It should help give a head start to anyone attempting this project. Currently, I have put over 2000 miles on my setup including hard launches at the track and long drives around town. It is great and was worth every penny. I'm...
