hey just trying to help, theres some info on doing the UIM->LIM but a lot of stuff I learned just doing it, of course ive been playing with the manifolds for like 4 months since i havent had my actual car for a while now so when i get bored i just **** around with **** basically lol.



my FD TB and TPS are finally coming sometime next week, got em for $100 shipped, patience is a virtue https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.

You can use an FC n/a throttle cable with a custom bracket. I made one out of a piece of flat steel in about 15 min. It was a tight fit, but it fit, and didnt have any binding and didnt hold the tb open at idle. Im sure I took pics, but I cant seem to find them. I sold the manifold to someone on the forum, so maybe they will see this and post up some pics?

yea i dont have my motor in my car so i havent gotten a chance to **** around with the throttle cable setup, im going to leave that until last as far as buying stuff because im not 100% sure i need the FD one, im sure i can rig something to work fine.

Yeah my car's a N/A right now so that's perfect then, thanks for that input. It's gonna go that Nissan 350Z orange w/ black 2 tone. Should look good, but I want it to haul ass aswell. Anyone have a FD UIM and TB?? lol



Would any of you guys be interested in a carbon fiber hood? I have a supplier that's willing to take it on if I can get a minimun order of like 16 hoods. They said they'll make them no problem. Anyone?

Let me know.



Thanks,

Vince

I'm the guy that bought it... thanks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png.



Don't have a digicam at the moment... if anyone wants shitty cameraphone pics, thats the best I can do.



I will hopefully have it on the car the 1st/2nd week of June. Parents are going out of town so I'll be watching their house for a week... free access to a garage and I get to drive an RX-8 while the 7 is under the wrench.



They have a digicam, will most likely forget to bring it, I'll take pics if I can.

sweet.. that'd help me out tons.. but first I need to find the parts LOL. That's the hardest part I think.

you can always make one, either from like a hot rod type place, or maybe bike cable etc

yea mine did that once causing, what i thought was, a high idle. stupid cable was falling apart when i took it out of the car so i probably should buy a new one anyway.
