What all did you add to the car? If it was me, I would reverse those adds and see if it gets better

1st in stock 240z Zcon Toronto Surprised that didn't add some value Still 44k is a lot of money for a 240z

We bought some a while back. I will need to look a little closer at them.

There is also a curved piece of vinyl covered metal(?) that has screws that hold it to the top edge of the inner rocker panel. That's what the small holes are from.

How similar are the Datsun 510 pieces?

Not really surprising. It's a museum piece...

It is surprising they will function in that condition. There are pretty tough overall

So 2 years is a 50% increase...

Steve makes all these parts by hand. If you order one he will probably cast it just for you or make several for inventory. Send him an email

Courtesy shows them at $29.57

Some of those sections are quite interesting. Some dont have much room on top Do you know which sections are intake valves and which are exhaust?

Yes! Think, spindle pins...

Nice solid car! Looks like it has a little damage on the left rear wheel arch and the rear corner. Beware, those rear corners are paper thin!

I just did some of those garage door drives in the house we just finished. They are really quiet!! I like them a lot.

How did that affect running or not? My intuition would have suggested the same thing

I have worked on it some this year. Mainly blocking panels. I need to post up my current progress. I've been hurt for much of the year and work has been busy, so progress slows down or stops. If I can get it painted things should pick up

Yes, yes it will!

I would seal them all up! Even the accordion boot. If it ever needs to come out you'll be able to break it loose. Even gaps on the passenger side can cause cabin fumes

I wouldn't build an engine that I didn't have the block machined. Not a lot of cost difference in honing or boring. You'll probably be buying pistons anyway so no additional cost there... I understand wanting to keep the matching block in car but I wouldn't pause one bit about punching it out to a safe size. All that being said, power is made in doing head work over minimal displacement increases

I knew they were long. I have 2 on hand, just didn't know how they compared. Would be interesting to see how the ld28 intake affected torque with the long runners

Why are you opposed to boring your block?

How does the LD28 intake runner size compare to what you have now?

You are correct

L20a rods are gonna be scarce. It is a popular motor for the Datsun 510 crowd. Also the short rod is probably going to give you a bad crank/rod ratio. Longer rods are generally preferred. I think jonbill is right, look for pistons with a shorter pin height

I considered trimming it too. There is a chrome finishing strip that covers the edge. I will take a shot at using the full lip with some steel plate for weights. I will trim it if I have too but I'd hate to mess it up. Most of these seals came out of Australia
