I also agree, get the original engine and keep it with the car; even if you do not re-install it just hang on to it.

http://www.zzxdatsun.com/ I just didn't want to be the only one who was left out on this thread.

Maybe. This is about the time when some were sold as '70 and some as '71 as I recall.

I've had 4 not-so-petite people in an S30 and driven around town bar hopping...with a full bladder and a knee in my gut! The was with all doors, hatch, and windows closed so there were no parts hanging out of the car...and nearly no room to move.

Arne, I may be interested in some of these parts when you get the car...such as the valve cover, air box, etc. I can provide a list if you like and you can then send pix and prices back. Please PM or email me.

We can certainly be hard on people from time to time and there are a few people who do not appear to get along and others who may be considered irritating by some. I would have to agree that this site is still better than any other Z site on the web though. Don't believe that then visit zcar.com and you will see how childish people can really be.

You'd think that they could do better... http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/1/7/79933417.htm

Any real reason for it being so squared off compaired to the stock/original valve covers?

I'd say keep the 280...that is unless you are selling it to get a 240! In any case, welcome to the site!! As I'm sure you already know from reading for a while we are a great group and very knowledgable, helpful, and friendly to boot.

Welcome abord!!

What's this one say? I can only read part of it. And here's a whole nother thread on this topic: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20901

The question is what won't you learn here!! This site has some of the most helpful and knowledgable people of any Z car site out there! Welcome Sunroof....NO! Don't cut a hole in your Z's roof...as stated it is just one more place for water to leak in, and it will de-value your classic car. Just get a new headliner.

Just came across this link which shows a new valve cover which I have never seen before, the "NISSAN 2000 OHC" http://www1.odn.ne.jp/yooopage/myskyline-engin_cover.html

Hi. Alright, I'll say more than that...welcome!! I'm sure you will enjoy being a member here just as the rest of us do.

Welcom, I believe this to be the best site on the web for early Z owners. It's full of info and helpful members!!

You should post this in the Classified section, you may get more action on it there.

Welcome to the best early Z car site on the web. There is a TON of great info here and many wonderful members who are always willing to lend some advice.

Welcome, make yourself at home. Nice looking series I you have there...I'm looking forward to when mine looks that pretty and shiney!

I have reported a few lately too. People just are not paying attention it seems. Some of the ones I reported were from newbies...1, 2, 4, 8 posts showing in their profile...so these people just don't know yet and didn't read before posting.

Kinda of a trick question as the lines are quite blurry at times when you are talking about what part came stock on what car with the Z. In short here's what I know: "NISSAN 2400 OHC" came on '69-very early '71 "NISSAN OHC" from '71 to '83 (non-turbo cars) "TURBO" on the '81 - '83 turbo 280ZX "NISSAN" is a JDM item and I do not know the years "BOB SHARP" is a custom item for the Bob Sharp race team "" I have no idea about these

Just remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone's is different...that's why there are so many different air dams out there as well as things like wheels. Just think, if everyone like the same thing then there would only be one style of wheel made worldwide...now how boring would that be!? My opinion, I do like the way it looks in the lower portion, the signals look like crap though. And even though I like part of it, I still would not put it on my car as it's not the look I'm going for.

Thank you for posting the link, I was just about to until I saw your post. By the way, that is my site and if you would like for me to add any info or credits please let me know.

Shipping to AR will not be cheap either...

I'm curious what you are asking for such a set up?
