Ya that's definetly a thought. I called zcarsource and they might have both and I am waiting for them to get back to me, used full quarters an for around 1000.

I am in major need for some quarter panels and I cant really find any place to buy them online or in person. If anyone knows where to get some I would Greatly appreciate it. Please help

I have a l24 bored 10 over with flat top pistons and a medium'ish cam. I want to run pretty high compression and was wondering as far as carbs go if I be better off with single 4 barrel carb (Bob Sharp setup) to get the best cfm or my 2 single updraft carbs. I can't afford the triple Webber's for 1500 dollars and I am wondering for the best bang for my buck what I am best off doing. I get mixed answers and opinions in my research. Also I plan on putting my Snow Performance water/meth system on it so I can run pump fuel if that makes any difference.

I have an older 240z engine built up mildly (Cam and valves) but after pulling the head off i can see a few cylinder walls are trash. It has an 83mm bore which from my understanding is stock 2.4l and the options I am seeing is bore it to clean it up and then gain some hp but I would have to but oversized pistons, or if it is possible put the heads on my l28 280z engine and do a rebuilt on it and bore it out a little and do some modifications. I only recently got into the Datsun world so I dont know a whole lot but if you guys have any better ideas I would love to hear them. I am 17 and my 280z is my senior year project.

I do have a 280z engine and 2 other engines including a short block I am starting to think i am just better off taking my old 280z engine and throwing all these parts on it.

And I know some of this might sound stupid or pointless but just bare with me I am new into this Datsun stuff.

I am thinking about boring my 240z engine I have after pulling it apart and seeing piston number 3 is rusted and pitted but everything else seems to be fine. So my thought process is i could get it bored out to 90mm vs the 83 it has now and it would solve the pits on the sleeve problem. Does anyone know any good aftermarket flattop pistons and also oversized or just higher performance valves. and last but not least what am i getting in to if i want to do a bore on it do i have to change heads or can i keep everything else and be fine.

ok thank you all for the input but I do have 2 single carbs and i am not sure if they are anything special either i think they might be the su ones you are guys talking about (i bought all my datsun parts and cars wholesale). and also i am just getting into this whole datsun thing so i am learning everything i can. i figured the double webbers would be much better but from what i see su are the best bang for your buck.

be sure to use P.B blaster or some type of penetrating oil. if you snap it you will have to drill it out and use a nut and bolt. also you could try ratcheting wrench or a swivel socket.

how much of a performance difference are we talking? 2 double barrel carbs doesn't seem like a fuel efficient setup. and if triples are that much better is there any way to get them for under like a thousand from what i am seeing online?

I pulled these off my 240z parts car and I am looking to rebuild them and put them on my 280z with a stroker motor. Any tips or concerns I should have and where to find a rebuild kit in general.I know they are in pretty rough shape but they are definitely rebuildable.

you can always try ebay to set your prices.

They are actually datsun factory quarters and they do have the vent holes. Also you have a good point with the 240z bumpers instead of my giant slabs of metal with shock absorbers they try to call bumpers. Thank you all though hopefully I can talk the guy down a little

i have a 1976 280z an i need 2 replacement quarter panels. I found 2 original datsun quarter panels for 1200 in etching primer for a 240z. i am wondering if they will match up perfectly or if some or its different. He said something about the flares being bigger or smaller but i am going for more custom so i am not worried about that part too much.
