Well I tried anyway, it's only a 15 min job :nervous: It's running better, and goes a lot faster, I can do the 0 to 60 unhappy neighbours in less than 6 seconds So I guess it's a mandatory thing at the end :knockedou

I understand that it's critical for a race or over enthusiast builder... I was just wondering about this general rule of going to the second dowel with a hotter cam??????

Ho ho... my L28 is at last in my 240Z, together with a nice 5 speed! The engine is running sort of OK as far as I can tell... I have no shaft yet so testing the engine with really unsupportive neighbor is difficult. It's smouth and not leaking. My question: is it mandatory to use the second dowel on a new timing chain kit with a fast road cam? I have read so and would appreciate if I could cut this corner :squareeye But I guess the 4° of timing are going to be missed power wise, no? My spec are: F54 Flat tops 1 mm skimed head 1 mm shims Fast road kent camshaft 280ZX dist 6/2/1 and 1/2 exhaust

Ok, I had a good deal on an Oprima red top... cranking OK now... so much juice I could do a 15 mile trip on one crank :cross-eye Now I have yet to start it... that's an other story Thanks all

Ok Carl, you have a 240Z starter on a high comp engine and it turns okay so I will double check the connections and try with a biefier battery then... What size should I aim for...

My concern is that it doesn't move the "=§*** thing at all?????

Is the 240Z starter from my 240Z auto man enough to crank the L28 with a 1mm slimmed head? In fact it's not even turning the engine at all at the moment! The starter is fine and was OK on my 240Z engine...???? I took it off and it run OK I can turn the engine with 30 lb/ft on my spanner???? When I turn the key, I hear the cliks... it turn 1/4 max and nothing more???? Could it be the battery? I am not speaking about starting the enging... just turning it at the moment Help, I need to prep my car for Le Mans Classic

Don't worry, I will... Yet it would be usefull to have the lengh, grade etc. of thoses bolts to find them in an autoparts store. This is all I miss. Thanks for the link.

What if I use the auto bolts with the manual flywheel is it a no-no:finger: or could I get away with it????? If not what do I need? Cannot find the long post about the swap, sorry:knockedou

I know it's so related to each engine/use/situation that it's almost useless, yet what kind of jetting do you have on your triple set? I found an OER set-up with this setting : carb45φ main jet150# air jet200# Idling jet60# Pump jet40# What's yours?

No worry about using a Z as a daily driver, it's a car, not a super car! They do rust... as all of the cars post 1980-ish do. But it's reliable and sensible on gas... for a sport car that is! As for the parts, you can still get lots of things trough Nissan Europe (I do!) Then, you have a huge market in UK (compared to Lithuania). You could go to the Z&ZX forum zclub.net and browse the links. The Dutch also have lot of spares by their club... We will be at the 24h of Le Mans with lots of 240Z, drive down there I will buy you a beer!

I am about to swap (at last) my auto bow for a 5 speed. I collected all the parts (I thought) until I found out about that pilot bushing! Does someone know the size of it, I need to find one one similar around here, but I figure having the size would be easier than carrying the tranny with me :stupid:

I don't know Obama's wive, I don't know Mc Cain's wive... but I do not want to see Hilary's partner in the same outfit as I love to see our president's wive:love: BTW and very seriously, what do you American think of our new President? Be honest as we don't have often input from USA on that matter!:paranoid: No birds name, please

What if I aim the injector in the plenum?

Having a the tunability of modern EFI tech like megaskirt alow you to get multiples maps for different use... Today we where autocrossing in the rain with a 3,1 monster on 45 dellortos... No way to pass the HP on the wet... on EFI you could map a rain setup... I think the SU TBI on the std manifold would work "even" better than even the Ztherapy, it's like having 10 needles switchables on the fly But I like so much the look of the triples

I am planing an FI L28 and almost settle for the SU TBI. It's a f54+p90 combo milled 1 mm + rally cam. 280ZX EI. 6/2/1 exhaust. I figure if this combo work well with Ztherapy SU it should perform even better on SU TBI. Yet I also have a spare canon style manifold with 3 dirty Dellortos 45 that I would not trust to use as carb again. I also have a spare 280ZX manifold. Do you think that welding the canon manifold on the zx base and using the Delortos without anything else but the butterfly and TPS would make a workable set-up, with MS of course. Or just drill the cannon for injectors???? A sleeper SU TBI is fun, a sleeper 3 Delortos TBI would be awesome

are they wide enough for EFI??????? I wonder?

And where would one find such a beauty????

I went for a drive... until the sun went your way, he is yours!

I hope it's not already covered, if so direct me to the thread please. If I understand, SU with SM needles are good enough for big street power on a preped L28. Would this option work as well? Lotta cheaper than full 6 TB I am after 220/5 hp not 300:) http://www.extrudabody.biz/servlet/the-135/Twin-SU-SU%27s-MGB/Detail

Nice bike, my other Z is also a Z. When I am tired of driving my 240Z I hop on my 750Z kawasaki I am a jap Z nut

Exactly what I thought when I was doing it

I've been busted then It all started on the french Datsun forum where the evidence that this big hole of a mouth didn't look very thouht after on the 240Z So I am working on sevral options, this one could be nice, I think

I guess my car belong there, or is it in the 240Z thread Look what I found, the missing link, for 255 000 yen, a bargain, I am so happy! A classy ride, with Aston or Jensen hints and a real Dat's pedigree, lucky me!

Maybe I wasn't clear enough... I cannot believe that none of you guys have a good address for second hand engines?????????????? I am looking for a well known wrecker... that could sell 8-10 engines a year...
