I once saw a post on Hybrid Z where somebody put a 7 series bmw v12 into a 240z...

That engine block turned out nice Will be nice to see the whole thing together again soon.

damn truckloads full of parts in the states.. almost none around here I need to get a holiday !

sender unit gave way, or corrosion at the connector, bad connection, i think

sender...try a new one

Here's some pictures, I also refurbished the steering wheel and gear knob, and put the seatbelts in

Got the new tires on Dunlop Streetresponse. Made a big difference, now it only has some small vibrations. I will change schoks and all rubber bushings/moutings, and joints over time. Also ordered 16 new bolts for the wheels, the old ones are tired. Pics to follow.

That's why I said, go back to mechanical pump with the su's and try..

Chris, you still working on it?

Could be, but he also has coolant on top of each piston, if the waterpump would leak into the block, it wouldn't be on top of the piston, must be the head gasket.

Cool ! Mine also turns 42 this month. ( 5/71 )

what's wrong with the mechanical pump anyhow?

try another head gasket brand than MSA..

Is the head gasket oem nissan or some immitation brand? Some gaskets can give troubles.

Okay, is it possible to find the gearbox code, from underneath the car? Than I can have a look. My car is date 5/71 stamped into it, north us market, this would make it a series II according to eurodat's post above? Nils his 240Z is a euro market, not sure about his build date, have to ask.

And did you find anything so far?

mm.. so to be short, i'd rather stick with the 4 speed then? If I have to cut the tunnel up to make it fit, and change the driveshaft and diff, it will be to much really

!!!

Are modded Z's worth that much really? I mean I see alot of things non original, also not the SU's anymore. And that diamond plate in the engine bay makes me wanna throw up really.

Made an appointment for monday for new tires, and they will check the wheel alignment to.

Mmm..so there's alot of things to change when it comes to installing a 5 speed, I thought it was just swapping gearboxes Date is 5/71.

yeah, I saw that one to.. nicest in his own eyes maybe haha

good point. Since he's poiting out there's coolant in each cylinder, it must be a head gasket failure.
