Yeh it's a little rb2Odet, but it is puting out 195 rwhp. I might upgrade to a rb25 later

hey guys/. I thought i would share with you a couple of photos of the fruits of my labour I started building this one around 7 years ago. When i bought it, it had a tired l28 and was painted black. It looked ok but i decided i would rather take it back to its origonal colour. Any way here are a couple of photos for you. How it was how it is now

i live in australia so i am out

i am about to build the l28 for my 240z and am looking for around 200hp N/A. Which head would be the best to use i currently have a p90. also should i keep the hitachi su's or use 28zx fuel injection?

hi all i havnt posted for a while so i thought i should let you know wat i have been up to. about a month and a half ago i started pulling my zed apart for restoration. So far i have sriped it and have built a rotisery to put it on since then i have replaced the drivers side flooor pan and chassis rail and fixed the dog leg i have had the dash re done and had a wilwood brake package imported over from america

i just got myself a free injection manifold for my z do you think this would be better than the hitachi round tops if i run aan after market ecu and get rid of all the crap i dont need like air flow meater and polution crap only problem is it will be to tempting to go turbo with injection

i have been given a set of english su carbs for my zed. I was wondering if some one can tell me if thease are better than the hitachi round tops they came from a 260z that was running fine before it was writen off

cool is wat they are:smoke:

i was wondering if the twin down draft webbers produce any more power than the su's ?

sorry for draging up an old poast but i will take a set also pm sent

mine was doing the clickity thing and it turned out to be loose wheel nuts

i picked up my spare diff today and cleand it and gave it a fresh coat of paint ready for the swap next weekend i will check out the mounts when i do the swap

yes i did i have a 240z the shorter gears might be good as i have taller wheels so it may even things out for me. well it looks like i will be changing diffs next week end then thanx man:laugh:

i have some back lash (clunking) in the rear of my 240z i found that the right hand flange yoke or out put shaft what ever you call it has a lot of side, up and down play. Would this be the bearing if so would i have to remove the diff center to replace. My other option is i have a r180 from a 1976 260z 2+2 automatic in good condition would it just be easyer to put this whole diff in insted ?

i got it back from the mechanic today he droped the needles a bit so it would not run so rich at idle but it now runs lean at higher revs. I was wondering if the 240z su' are to small for the l28 motor? if so would a neadle change fix that?

i thought i found the problem but i was wrong it is still running realy bad i have replaced the points, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor button, condensor, coil, i have checked the float levels i cleaned out the carbs i have adjusted the valve clearance but yet it is still missing realy bad. It still runs better if you give it a long spark. It is runing extreamly rich. i have used quater of a tank of fuel just siting in my drive way i am thinking it may be a vacume leak but dont know how to find it. i have tryed spraying areo start around all the gaskets but there is no change so i give up i am takeing it to the mechanic on monday

i have done every thing you mentioned exept balenceing the carbs. I should be getting a balencing tool verry soon. i have the mixture nuts nearly all the way to the top and it is still blowing black smoke

i found the problem and it was totaly unrelated it is just a coincidence that my condensor in the dizzy packed up at the same time i fixed the vacume leak. However the carbs are still runing rich so i was wondering with the mixture nuts screwed to the top towards the carby is that lean or rich :?:

is there ment to be a gasker in the suction chamber because mine dont have one

thanx guys i will be taking them off and cleaning them out this week end because they have been sitting for over a year

I have just purchased a 1971 240z with an l28 engine I found a vacume leak at the base gasket of my front su now i have fixed it my z wont run right it is like it is running on 5 cylinders but no mater what lead you pull of it makes no diference and it is blowing lots of black smoke i am guesing it is runing rich but i dont know how to lean it out? I know stuff all about su carbs (round tops) if you could think of any other thing it could be please help?
