Hi guys, Just wanted to post and say g'day from Melbourne Australia and say what a great site you guys have here. Ive read some articles on the forums from time to time and have found it so informative so thanks. So Ive just purchased a 240K Kenmeri skyline about a month ago but also own a 73 240z. I learned to drive in 260 2+2 when i was younger and sold her many years ago so when the opportunity came up to get back into a zed a year ago i jumped at it BUT in a 240s this time. After a bit of refreshing - new cylinder head, new wheels, interior and some exterior add ons this is how she turned out. Took a while but with the new head and triples on the L28 it made all the difference. Ive just got to install some t3 front coil-overs on her to drop her about an inch to 1/2 inch in the front then she will pretty much be finished to my liking. On the Kenmeri I'll be doing a auto to manual conversion and a similar engine setup as the 240z L28 etc etc... Thanks for having us on the forums. Cheers Al

Just read this blog through.... amazing! Any updates since last year?

What i am saying is that the oval shaped fire rings are big enough for the larger exhaust or intake valves to be intsalled. Most HG's have the oval shape already. It seemed the OP was concerned with getting a perfectly round fire ring on the HG . Well that might not work for anything other than stock. The only way to be sure is to lay the HG on the head to make sure it doesn't impede into the combustion chamber. If you have your "how to modify" book, look in there. The oval fire ring allows for some nice unshrouding which is strongly recommended on the L24. Cliff-you shouldn't use a 280 Hg

This is what I put together last winter, the mini fuse block was added to accommodate the added load of rad fan, fan controller, fuel pump, high and low beam. It is all working well but now I'm thinking maybe I should have a second look at this set up after reading Capt. Obvious' comment about the fusible link. The big cables for pos and neg are 4ga, the rest are 12ga. Chris
