I couldnt wait any longer to drive a z again(while mine is in the middle of a resto). So in fear that i might end up rushing the resto just to be able to drive it again i went out and bought another z. This one is an 2/72 model. Got a great deal on it. The engine/carbs were rebuilt, runs perfect, drives nice and smooth. The dash alone was worth the purchase. ive never seen a dash in this condition, besides the 1600 dollar dashes from msa. and some other small parts on the car are in perfect cond like the grill. i might swap the grill and dash over to my other car. so this is like a daily driver/parts car. its the first five pics of the green one. i cant believe i didnt ge…

Hello all. I just purchased a 1981 280zx with turbo for 170.00. That was for the whole car with engine! I am going to take the engine and rear end and then junk the rest. I was only looking for a P90 head when I stumbled on this deal. Currently I have a 260z with an engine from a 1977 280z that I converted to carbs. My plan is/was to rebuild the engine and use the P90 head. Now that I have a F54 block and head I have more choices. I could: 1) rebuild F54 and P90 and convert to carb system 2) rebuild F54 and P90 and stick with the FI and turbo What would you guys recommend? If I try the turbo route what should I look for in the car? Looking at it the only thing…

Last Friday, I went to the bone specialist and surgery has been planned for monday. Now, I have wires and pins in the left thumb base ans I have a cast for at least 4 weeks. Today, I went to the body shop to pick up my garage door opener and by coincidence, my insurance company adjuster was there. I don't trust him at all. He asked me if a scratch and dent on my left door was there before the accident (a real sucker). The faulty drive insurance has not sent yet somebody to assess the damages but sent me a letter that the coverage of their client was not sufficient. Futhermore, I received a phone call from the car rental company telling me that the insurance company (the f…

Hi Guys, I have been injoying my 240Z for a while now, but one thing is really bothering me about it. The chassis rattles/squeaks and is just generally loose while driving. Drive into a driveway and feel the car twist, hit a bump and feel the chassis flex, rattle, etc... It's not a structural rust problem because the car is solid metal wise in all the key areas. I know the metal is a little thin from the factory to begin with, so is this just a common problem with these cars? What can i do to stiffen it up (Besides welding a cage in)? Are strut tower bars worth the money? Do they do a good job of stiffening up the car? Any better to go with the more elaborate ones that at…

Thanks for the prompt responses. But I am still confused because several sites have info indicating that the L28 makes less HP!? For example this one: http://www.datsuns.com/datsun_dept-mainpage.htm and this one: http://members.aol.com/KarlWS/zhistory.html "1975 - Needing increasingly complex technology to meet even tougher emissions regulations, Nissan boosts the Z-car’s displacement to 2.8 liters and adds a version of Bosch’s L-Jetronic fuel injection, creating the 1975 280-Z. Horsepower rating is increased to 149. " Excuse me for being redundant, but I would like to obtain accurate info. Also,, does anyone know the weights of the 240z and the 280z? A link with so…
