Can somebody explain me the difference between 110 and 115mm. I’ve got a 180 diff 3.9 and love to know if this a 110mm ring or a 115mm. Does a 115mm rack and pinion set fit in a former110mm? Vice versa?

I am having a problem figuring out which motor mount goes where. I am not actually talking about the motor mounts but the part that attaches to the engine. I know I should have marked them but I didnt think they were any different until I tried to put them back on. Could someone please help and thanks

Hi there, I am currently looking in to purchasing a 240Z and the first thing I'd like to do is drop and L28 motor in and do some custom exhaust work. I have been looking on the net for days and haven't had any success in finding this, but I was wondering if there is any way I could get the exhaust and muffler running on the sides of the 240Z. I'm sorry if I'm making my question clear... What I am trying to do is adapt the old Corvette type of look with this (sorry if this offends any of you). Any pictures or websites would be very helpful. Thank you all for taking the time to look for this for me.

I am still in the process of my auto to 5 speed swap and am kinda stuck. I bought a new clutch kit and it has a little round thing I think is a pilot bushing does it go in the end of the crankshaft? On the end of the crankshaft there is a cap that goes over the back of it I had to pull to change the rear main seal do I leave that on for the swap or do I take it off. Also there is a spacer that was behind the flexplate for the automatic I assume that I dont need to install that on when putting the flywheel on right. Sorry about all the questions, but I am new to this. Shane

Ok I've found some L14 rods but I've been quoted what I think is a little bit high in the price range. I don't mind paying it if they work out to be really good for my stroker but the L20 rods are probably the next best thing and I can probably get a set of those for next to nothing compared with the L14's. So what would you expect to pay for these rods, keep in mind I'm from Aussie Land .

When I bought my 1973 240z, the PO said the differential came out of a 510. It is a 3.90. Not sure if he was positive though. Does ayone recognize the mystery diff? It is slightly lighter weight than the stock diff. The pics with two diffs have the stock(so he told me) diff on the left and the mystery diff on the right. The individual pic is the mystery diff. Thanks, Victor.

okay... while im in the process of doing my valve guide seals, i was wondering. i heard that the 260Z cam is pretty mild, and there happens to be a whole 260 e88 in my garage. i have an n47 on it now, and i was wondering if i would get any form of gain or performance from putting this cam on my n47 already on the car. someone told me that a mild cam would go good with the setup that i have, so i was just wondering if it was true. thanks!

I am trying to figure out what the best head would be for an L28? I'm wanting to install forged flat top pistons, bigger cam, headers, and my tripple Dellorto 40's. I currently am running an N42 head stock, but something about square ports just doesn't seem efficient. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've heard the E31 and the P90 being the best. E31 having small valves, but that could be changed I would assume. Anyways hopefully someone could push me in the right direction.

I finished my resto almost. I had my old crew member Steve from ZTherapy do my 2 1/2" exhaust system. (It looks great!) We started the new engine and it fired up the second we hit the starter. Steve tuned his new ZT carbs and I went for a short drive. It was at night and one of the bulbs was out on my dash. It just happened to be the OIL pressure gauge. We had 90# when we started the car. Anyway, I had driven the car about 3 miles and was on my way back when I noticed the valves started to 'clack'. When I got to the shop where there is an outside light, I noticed the oil gauge was down on pressure. I do not know what it was pumping but the lifters (P90A) were collapsing. …

I have come to the point in which I need to lift the engine out of my car. Everything is ready to go, all fluids drained, cables undone, ect. I have run into a problem, my engine lift will not fit under the car. The car is lowered and the long legs of the lift are too tall to fit under the suspension. If the car is on jackstands, it is tall enough, but the jackstands are in the way. Also, as it says in the wick humble book, the tires should be one the car, so I guess that rules out the jackstands. Is it possible to use the lift from the side of the car insted of the front? By placing the long arms on either side of the front wheel. If I could get replies soon th…
