I have just come back from my friendly Nissan dealer who has informed me that there are no fuel pumps availalbe in Oz for a L26 motor. As an off chance, I paid a visit to a local parts dealer who only has a fuel pump for the 240C motor. The parts book he was looking at did not have a Z car listed. The pump looked pretty much the same but did not have a part number on it. It was made by a company called "Something Enekio??" Does anyone know if the 240C pump is the same as the Z motor. Mainly worried about fuel volume being delivered:ermm:

newbie Z help 1 2

I just bought my first Z today. I don't know a lot, but I want to learn. I bought this Z from a friend and he told me a few things about it. I don't know how accurate the info is, so I am hoping for some help from the Z gurus that hang around the forums. I don't have full documentation for the car yet, but it is a '72 240Z with a 280 engine in it. I don't know whether that is a good or bad thing. Do you? What would serve me best with regards to replacing the carboration system? Is there a certain one that is preferable? I will be driving this car around town and also racing it with SCCA SOLO2 I also need a gas tank. Could anyone give me a push in the right direction?…

Hi fellow Z/Zed fans, The radiator on my 240z gave up on me today…(bad leak on the core) I was wondering if anyone know of a good shop/store that sell radiators… What I meant was…not your stock 240z radiator; I would like to get at least the 3-row radiator or performance radiator that would bolt up over stock. My budget is small (hence the word budget) will be 200usd. Yes, I know that’s not a lot of money but someone out there might know a shop or a store. Good or bad, your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cel

The salvaged car I am taking parts from felt relatively quick when I last drove it and i wonder if the camshaft in there is OEM or aftermarket. I come from the Honda world originally (oh the shock and the horror!!) and there at least there does exist a series of casting marks on the camshafts to help ID them. Did Nissan or the aftermarket companies do the same for our 240z's? Is there anything I can look for short of putting next to another cam to figure out what it is? Thanks again. -e

exhaust question 1 2

I recently bought my first Z, which is a 71. The original exhaust and header is still on the car and I would like to replece them, though I will be hanging on to them incase I want to return the car to stock but in the mean time I would like to get something that would give me a little more power. Now here is my question: I was wondering what a good header exhaust combo to get that would give me the best HP increase without breaking the bank. While I don't mind some noise from an exhaust I don't wanna sound like one of them street racers that annoy so many. Does anyone have any favorite online places to shop for exhaust systems? Thanks in advanced, Bart 1971 240Z

Hi Guys, Couple of questions that I'm sure have been asked on here but I really can't find the answers when I searched. Basically the situation is that I'm looking to upgrade the cam in my 260Z (with the 240Z style round tops and extractors) as it is running out of breath. Now my first question is: Does anyone have a recommendation for lift/duration on a basically stock setup like the above? I know that my current cam is 256/256 degree duration and 0.276/0.290 lift. (I if my conversion is correct!) Second question: At what point do I have to worry about the springs binding? Is a 0.460 lift alright, or can I go a bit further? And lastly: do I need to retard or advance the…

Quick question for you guys that have rebuilt your motors... My manual says that when installing the rear main bearing cap "the corners...should have an application of jointing compound..." at the 90* bends where the cap sits. I understand all this, but what is jointing compound? When I go to PepBoys or Advance, what should I be looking for specifically?

Ok now I'm looking for actuall proof with this question not "supposed to be" or "rumored too have's". It's regarding the E88 & N36 intake manifolds. I have heard the N36 gives a 10Hp power increase. I ask this because I have one spare in the garage that is acutally collecting dust(saw dust). One the car I have a E88. I understand that this might only benefit if you have done other modifications. So I'm gonna list the mods done to my L28. It's a F54 block with E88 head. 10:1 comp. mild cam, ZX valves, some head work. Extractors and the equivelent of a mandrel bend exhaust system infact there are no bends the exhaust runs straight down the middle of the car. Electronic …

I am the original owner of a 72 (built in 71) 240. The head has been reworked (butched) twice. It needs new seats, valves etc. Any help or advice is welcome. It still has the orginal brass seats. Also, can an E88 head casting replace the earlier one (I believe E81)?
