Hi Thanks for that, Ive had alot of emails about the jalopnik link , have it printed off and put in the z folder, Thanks again, Jay

Thanks for the comments............just goes to show 2+2's aint all bad :laugh: Still have the interior to sort out, I'll do that during the winter months, I'll enjoy driving her fo the rest of the winter

great buy, Im half thinking of buying a 240z from the US to bring back to Ireland to have as another project car.

Alright Ozy ya must send me the full spec of yours, have ya got engine specs etc yet?

and just finished it a few weeks ago

Now I know alot of people hate 2+2's, I'm one of very few who like the lines of a 2+2, Anyway got the car last year. it came in from austrailia the year before, I drove it for a couple of months when I got it but became bored with it so decided to do some work. I dont a full l28 engine rebuild, with stage 4 cam, 6-1 header,and triple dellortos, and alot of bodywork, Although the car was rust free when I got it. How I got the car

yeah no prob, not too sure how to post them up but you can go ahead if your like, Thanks, Jay

I actually love the body lines of the 2+2, I'm just after finishing the bodywork and new engine build, I'm leaving the back seats out, putting bucket seats up front and rollcage in the back http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh183/datsun-jay/?action=view&current=myz005-1.jpg http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh183/datsun-jay/?action=view&current=myz006-2.jpg

Ide buy me one of those!

Thanks for that WingZro, but that also turned up nothing, Ive decided to take a different route now, going to skim the p90a head 0.080" and use tower shims with flat top pistins, anyone know what CR this will give me? Thanks, Jay

Ok I've tried all the above, the only one who has the gasket is headgasket.com..............I then gave my address which is Ireland and never heard back from them!!!! Im really stuck for one so if anyone knows any other places ide really appreciate it. Thanks, Jay

Sounds cool, Im building a l28 motor at the moment with stage 4 cam and triple dellorto's........thinking strongly about getting this exhaust system..........does the back box mount vertically or horizontal?......like is one pipe over the other or side by side?

Thats a great help, thanks very much for that!, Jay

Hi All, Just been search the site and google, Im looking for a 1mm head gasket, The only one I could find was the one MSA do which is a Kameari one...way too expensive, Ive been looking a felpro stockist but cant seem to find any that have a 1mm head gasket for a l28, If anyone had a 1mm head gasket could they please tell me where they purchased them, Thanks, Jay

Ok thanks for that, I did try the search but couldn't find a calculator, Thanks again, Jay

can anyone help me please?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what compression ratio ide have with the following setup f54 block, 86.1 flat tops, p90 shaved 0.030 and 1mm head gasket. Also if someone could post a link to one of the calculators it would be great, Thanks, Jay

Ok wellI never thought of checking the plugs but there is only about 100 miles on them so cant see it being them, but I will check them tomorrow, I took the top of the carb today and the floats seem ok........Its just happening on one side of the carb, like the petrol is being blown out of the carb instead of being sucked into the intake........... Jay

Hi all Started the car today.......and noticed it was missing, so popped the bonnet and there is petrol coming out of one of the air horns (triple dellortos) I never even seen the inside of one of these carbs so does anyone know what the problem would be? Thanks, Jay

Ok thanks for all the help guys, Only prob is Ive already ordered a stage 4 cam for the E88 head......will that cam work with the p90a? Cheers, Jay

Ok thanks for that, Ill send them an e-mail and see if they have them in 86mm, closest I can find so far is 86.1mm, but that means getting the block bored out......... Jay

so which head do you recomend using? E88 or p90a with the solid lifters? Also cam anyone recomend somewhere to get a set of 86mm flat tops? Thanks for the help, Jay

http://www.bandmzcars.com/headinfopage.html It say's on the bottom that there were 2 versions of the p90a head. Can anyone recomend a place to get 86mm flat tops from? Thanks, Jay

No its a p90a head with solid lifters, I understand the UK spec p90a heads came with solid lifters, it definetly has solid lifters and say's p90a on the head........ Im from Ireland , so thats how I cam to have the Uk spec motor.. Jay

thanks for the replys guys, My p90a head has solid lifters, think its a UK spec motor, also has the dished pistons...........I was going to use the E88 head as I was told that the CR would be too low using the p90a head on an NA motor. Can anyone recomend anywhere to get flat tops? Ill measure the head tomorrow to see what thickness is it. Ive a stage 4 cam set on the way for the E88 head so hope I chose the right one to use!! Thanks, Jay
