    I still have the car. Its been many many thousands of dollars. Just recently put air suspension on it so I could get it in and out of my drive way. It gets driven 4-5 times a year, so happy with how its turned out.
  3. So will a 75 gas tank bolt into a 70?

    Also have my 1970 tag on it, but its not pictured. Has an L28 w/ 5spd in it now and a new clutch/flywheel (350z setup).
  5. 300$ for the motor set with header tranny all that stuff not sure what Im going to do with the l24

    Its an old datsun, that description makes it sound like an old ferrari.

    Looking to tuck the wiring harness that runs along the frame rails on my 240z and wondering the best place to relocate the wiring to. I've already gotten rid of the external voltage regulator, but I feel theres still more I can loose. Has anyone got any pointers or a thread dedicated to this?
  8. I will investigate that when I get home. Im also leaning towards the timing being way out of wack on it. I know its been jetted for an l28 with raised compression (8.9:1) and a webb 155 cam. Currently I have a stock n42 head'd l28 with a cam (not sure of grind but its not loopy at idle). The carbs ran great on my l24 with stock exhaust. The l28 has a 6-1 to 2.5in exhaust. Would that effect things greatly I'd presume? If you go 100% throttle it stops popping at low RPM which leads me to believe its too lean?
  9. Honestly not sure, I pulled it off and stuck the l24/pertronix unit in its place. I assume that shouldnt change anything since its basically the same motor, just larger?

    Recently I swapped motors in my 240z. Long and short of it is I cant get spark from the l28's distributor but when I stick my 240z's pertronix equipped distributor on the car sparks and runs. I know the l28 ran in the car we pulled it from but for whatever reason it didnt want to spark at all in my car. We changed nothing but the distributors/brackets between the pair of motors. Is there going to be an issue running this distributor on the car?
  11. So now it pops through the carbs at about 2000rpm to 2800 rpm and again above 5k. Is this typically a sign of being too lean? Its running triple webs.
  12. Both sound pretty crappy. I wouldnt even make an offer. I'd tell him thanks but no thanks. 280z's are a dime a dozen
  13. Totes my opinion on them. On my friends 240z they work great though, on mine not so much.
  14. Seriously the best investment ever in regards to drive ability. I can let the car sit for 2 weeks, turn the key on, hit the gas 2-3 times and it starts right up. After its been driven for the day just start it right up. Its fantastic.
  15. Not sure yet, havent gotten to drive it on the road, still working out exhaust and gotta bend the shifter so I can put the console back in. Yessir, Makes the car run so much better than the garbage stock SU's. Not sure, previous owner got it put in 15x9 0 offset. Im thinking of going with 15x9 -5 in front and -15 in rear though.
