So I am looking for an LSD for my r200 carrier and I came across this diff that was for sale. I spoke to the vendor and he said that it wasn't an LSD even though it sure looks like one. Can someone maybe ID it?

I recently purchased a 274F Datsun L-6 Cam shaft 107 degrees carbureted with .175 thick lash pads for a 1972 Datsun 240z from Schneider Cams. Anyway they dont sell the rocker arms to be used with this cam shaft. Can someone recommend a rocker arm set that will fit perfectly with this set up and point out a good source for it? Thanks!!

Hi Z-guys First real post in here Im in the middle of a minor rebuild, weel now i guess it is a major. Ill start a rebuild thread later on. I've bought an US import car here in Denmark, which is a 1971 240z, with matching number L24 and E31 head. Ive been reading up on this forum, about the con and pro's for the head - all very good I thought. I must admit that when i bought the car I thought that the rough idle was due to long term parking and etc etc. But later i found out from a compression test that cylinder 5 was not doing what the other five cylinder was doing :/ Only 6,5 bar 96 psi. What i hoped was bad rings and a quick rebuild, what I found was …

I've been smoothing the intake and exhaust ports and will be matching port sizes as soon as my gasket comes in. Does it look like the valves were unshrouded before the bigger valves were installed? I don't know myself, all I've done is read and looked at pictures so I'm guessing they were? EDIT: the E-31 was with a project car I bought so I know nothing about what was done before I got it. Thanks for looking, Cliff

Hello all, Just finishing up the final touches on my auto to 4 speed swap on my 1971 240z. Top up the fluids and hook the speedometer cable back up and I should be back on the road. The issue is I don't remember how the cable was originally routed? Anyone have any underbody pictures? There is a bracket on the cable which looks like it may have attached to the dust over on the torque converter bell housing, but it would come awfully close to the exhaust manifold down pipe. I'd say within 3 inches. This worries me. Help would be appreciated so I can start this thing up in the morning!

Finally in the process of swapping a Far 311 Race Cam with an original Stock 240z camshaft. I have been trying to find the specification but have not had any luck yet. Is it the same as BRE 311 Camshaft? Anyone?

It's been a long time since I've run an L6 engine, but I used to race L24's many, many years ago. Right now the car pulls really hard to 6,500. What is the safe engine Redline on an L28 with a stock bottom end? I've have a freshly rebuilt L28 engine with a 280 duration .460 lift cam. New Nissan factory valve springs ( 13203-F2000 Outers and matching Nissan inners ), Doug Thorley headers, 2.5" custom exhaust. Factory balance job. Stock rods. Stock Flat tops. I will be autocrossing this car a bit next year and maybe running some Track days. I used to run my L24's to 7,000... but on the L28, I'm thinking of using a 6,500 RPM max shift point with Rev Limiter ( Crane Hi-6…

I'm looking to install a Borg-Warner T5 in my '73. From the different comments I've read, the rear transmission cross-member for the change seems to cause a lot of heartburn due to differences in mounting point locations on the two transmissions. This transmission came from an '83. In '83 both the Nissan 5 speed and the Borg-Warner T5 were options. That being the case, were there different rear cross-members for the Nissan 5 speed and the T5? If so, why won't the T5 cross-member work? Or, were the body mounting points in different locations?

I've owned my '78 (a Black Pearl) since '81. It hasn't been driven since about '90. Over the past few months I've been working on getting the old girl running, (which it does - sort of). It has 184K on it & the engine has never been apart. Original down to the injectors, timing gear/chain, etc.. While replacing manifold gaskets I noticed a lot of oily goo on the block coming from under the edge of the head at the #4 cyl. Today, while replacing valve stem seals, I found out where it was coming from. The head bolt between #4 intake & #5 exhaust is broken & obviously had been for a long time. I planned on rebuilding the head anyway, & the machine shop can tak…

As mentioned before when i bought my car my EGR system looked like this: some of its components were not working and consequently i decide to remove the following parts from my engine: - Servo diaphgram -Assembly AB Valve My mechanic tested the vacuum for the control valve and it is not working also, so he decided to block all the remaining parts and has left it the following way: I have several queries regarding this modification: 1) Is the deletion of the system done correctly? Could i be having some vacuum leak as some of the blocking is not done as it should? 2) Any additional parts i need to buy in order to install an AC system to this car?
