anyone else'?

im rebuilding engines i have one 280zx (the F54/P90 with carb) wich i only bought to fix/sold and im keeping the 260z (L24) thats why i have the chanse to do the engine combination to put it into the 60, but probably it would be better to keep the L28 (F54/P90) what should i do ?

thank you both steve and jon! how can i figure out what E88 head do i have?

hi everyone im building an early 260z i have 2 engines: 1. L24 with E88 head 2. L28 with P90 head & F54 block (flat top pistons) i want to go NA, wich combination is better? i downloaded L-Series Engine Builder ( http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/enginemodellingsoftware/index.html ) is this program right with this set up ? Block -> L28 Overbore - > 0.060 Rod - > L24 Crank - > L28 Head - > E88 Piston - > L28 Flat Gasket - > Std Fly cut - > 0 Compression: ¿¿¿ 14.24:1 ???? what else can i do? head shave, port and polish, 3 angle job? please point me in the right direction, thanks!

hi, i couldnt find a complete DIY for this does anyone has info about it? i really need to know how to do it by myself also i could use some suggestions and help about how to do my N/A project, i have 3 engines 2 L24 and 1 L28 im thinking doing the head port and webbers (i dont know which) thanks

hi everyone i was out of town and just went back last week, yesterday i started to sand it it has a los of rust and dents but i want to learn to fix those details by myselfl, also i want to learn how to fix the interior (dashboard) i will pull out the engine and dissasembly it to fix the smoking. i will be posting updates. thanks

Im in mexico but a friend of mine helped me buying it directly from His adress in Arizona, so the shipping is in USA

hi, last december i bought an airdam xn-3124 from CARid.com http://www.carid.com/1970-nissan-240z-body-kits/xenon-77657.html#fullInfoTab it clearly says "Free shipping on this product", i paid and everything, 3 weeks later they sent me an invoice charging the shipping cuote, until this day they havent solve anything about that, a friend of mine bought the same airdam last year and they sent him for free. does anybody have bought from this page? what can i do?

L28 (ET) i downloaded the FSM last night, thank you for the notes, i'll do something about it

IMO looking at the bolts, looks like that intake manifold doesnt belong in that head

P90 head F54 block L28

thanks bruce! i'll try to get those dvd's, and check those things you said on my car, the carb is definetely a Mexican engineering :S i have one more question, the "NISSAN" valve cover is from the turbo version? the head is the p90 and the block is the f54, that means i have the L28ET (w/o the ET in my case)

hi i just bought a 280zx very cheap, my intention is to learn how to restore the body by myself there also 3 problems besides the body with this car: 1.- it throws a lot of white smoke when i accelerate 2.- 2nd gear doesnt get every time 3.- FI and turbo has been removed

the shocks are: (2) TOHZ3015 and (2) TOHZ3016 i already have the front 5020, so it would be easier for me just to buy one rear and pay the shipping cuote and everything to México thanks John ill contact you!

where can i buy just a pair of 2050R ?

hi geezer my 260z is an early, i checked and i have 1 spring different

i was about to install them this week the problem is that i am in mexico and i bought from ebay :S

hi last year i bought the tokico kit, but until this day i had a chanse to check the springs and i noticed that 3 are "5020-F" and 1 "5020-R" im assuming that they sent me 3 front and 1 rear, is that right?

hi ChrisZ the guy from the machine shop told me to order the bearings in .010 ive made a mistake, i just have rod bearings from an L18 engine, wich are the same, im only missing the main bearings

thats the engine pulled out of my car, a friend of mine has the other engine in his house trying to put it on his 240z... i just paid the machine shop on this L24, and the other engine its not even disambled. i have new piston rings, engine gasket set, water pump, gas pump, oil pump, rod bearings, main bearings, but i ordered this things for an L26, are these compatible with my L24 ? and how much is the power difference between both engines? thanks!

yes, the E88 head was used on early 260z and lately 240z but the P30 block was used on lately L24 is what i read on this web http://www.xenons30.com/Engine.html

hi, i just brushed mi engine block and saw that is the P30 the head is E88, so the engine in my 260z is the L24, im i right ? i also have another engine wich havnt cleaned yet, but it came from another 260z, i hope thats an L26 engine. the question is if my 2nd engine is the L26, wich engine is better to keep it in my car? L24 or L26 ? thanks!

i will buy some things at MSA what do you think about this Exedy Clutch Kit ? http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/1974/nissan/260z/clutch/clutch_kit.html

MEZZZ thank you for answering rims/tires and SS brake lines are on my wish list the brake booster maybe after LED lights for the gauges and dome light seems good idea, im going to try that when i get to the interior/electrical part wich is the R/T style mount ? im still looking for the clutch kit, wich one is good for me?
