    great, I am specifically looking for a pre 76 (no K on top ) R180 with either 3.9 or 4.11 gearing

    How bout a pre 76 r-180 with either 3.9 or 4.11 gears
  7. Thats the way I feel. I bought the TEP bars and the rear fit fine, but the front did not fit at all, did not fit on 240ZTT's 240 either, or Daddz's 240 for that matter. Matter of fact out of the three 240's and four 280's between us...it would only fit in one 280. I therfore bought Ron's bars from PDK and have been happy ever since. Just my $0.02
  8. I would drive it everyday if I were not too lazy to move the Jeep out of the driveway first. But I have been driving it pretty consistently since I relocated to a more hospitable climate.

    I have a 110mm Nissan LSD and am looking to change my gear ratio. Is there any way to use a 115mm gear set or am I stuck with 110. Also anyone out there have either a 3.7, 3.9, or 4.11 gear set (110mm of course) or a complete diff they are willing to part with (you will be compensated)

    Great Stuff from Beta Motorsports. Easiest way to get to where you want to go. Coilovers already mounted on shortened struts with a selection of insert types to choose from, plus it includes SCCA Street Prepared legal Camber Plates.

    There is alot of work involved in setting up a set of coilovers, but it is well worth the hassle. I personally recomend Ground Control, but any kit should be just fine. Gotta remember it is nothing more than a threaded sleeve and a collar. Everybody uses the same upper spring perch and you can buy anybodys springs. Do a search on these forums for more detailed info, it has been talked about alot here, and on HybridZ.org

    It depends on the pressure plate you are installing. Cannot remember off hand which one is which, but the 240 used a different height pressure plate than the rest of the models.

    I meant to say it cost me bout 1000 bucks, not 100

    Just as an FYI... our move to Las Vegas is now complete. The Datsun arrived via Car Carrier last week. I am looking forward to getting involved with the west coast Z crowd, and enjoying thelack of rain for awhile. If anyone of the boards is planning a trip to Vegas..Mi Casa is Su Casa.

    I should have clarified South East then huh. I will not be coming to Vancouver, dad now lives in SC, However, Portland may make a nice vacation spot in the near future. I will not be making a dity. We have not decided on the disposition of the Z yet...trailer or ship. I have to report to Salt Lake city prior to taking the assignment in Vegas.

    This is only Z related because I am an owner. The family and I will be relocating, courtesy of Uncle Sam, to Las Vegas, NV. I will begin my recuiting duty at Centennial Station in October. The bad news is that we wanted to go south. The good news is I will be able to make it to next years West Coast Nationals. Z yall west coasters soon.
  18. It really depends on the lighting conditions. In bright sunlight, the 110 red has a orange tint, in shade it is more red.
  19. Yes I have seen this car. It is owned by the Prez of The Maryland Z-car Club. It is a very nice example and is the Highmilage one of the twins featured in Z-car mag many years ago. BTW he wants close to 20K for this one

    Try Adjusting the lock arm at the striker mech...

    11inch in some areas
  22. The Carter is another good pump. Top-End performance recomends that one
  23. You will have to provide a ground for the holly pump.
  24. Yeah I replaced the coil too, as well as the points with a pertronix unit. It baffles me still because when I wired the MSD, I did not cut any part of the harness. I made a harness for the MSD that was "plug n play" The only thing I can figure is as the tach ages, it becomes sensitive to variances in the inductive signal it gets from a hot coil. Remember I replaced mine with a new one...NOS been sitting on a shelf for 25+ years

    www.hybridz.org those guys specialize in V8 and other engine swaps. However I have put a 5.0L Mustang motor into a Z with little difficulty.
