is there a difference between a 260z rear bar and 240z rear bar ? cheers Rich

thanks for the info guys ,im running 280 lbs rear springs and 200lb front springs and do track and motorkhana days as well has club cruises but i suffer shocking understeer on the motorkhana tracks maybe its worth a try to run one an see what happens

Hewy guys just after some advice i was wondering who here runs a rear sway bar and if so has it made any improvements on the way the car turns it or does it cause more over steer. Ive heard so many conflicting stories from people just would like some more input before i look at going down this track cheers Richard

I forget the type of shocks im running i think there pedders there meant to be equivalent to koni reds on the medium/hard setting , but i use the car everyday and have taken to the track and next year when i not a student ill be looking to do a few hill climbs and the like. I drive up in mountains fairly regulary and the new springs make the zed sit on the road really well

Just thought id add what ive done with the springs . I orginaally got a set of king 200lb king springs for my 240z and like you guys i was really disappointed , i got Morrabin Spring works to make me a custom set to 280lbs for the back and i could be happier , the springs are heaps stiffer but back breaking. I got these custom spring done for $160 a pair and they been on the car for 6 months now and havent got softer like the king springs did cheers Richard

Im doing a 260z 2+2 for my gf and she needs powersteering . I have the steering from a 280zx has anyone used the Power assisted steering from one of these in there zed!! cheers Richard

Its in the same position as my other 260z and 240z , my other heads are E88 and N42 and O5L is in that same position ?

Hey guys I recently bought a 280zx to still some parts off for my 2+2 and the engine has a 05L head on it . Does any one know anything about this head ? Ive done a search and found nothing as yet cheers Richard

Hey Guys im just looking for some advice im getting some head work done i ve got a 76/44 cam on a N42 head , i was thinking of getting bigger 46 38 valves and a ,mild port and polish. DOes anyone have any other suggestions or advice on whatg i can do to squeeze a bit more Horsepower out of the beast Its on a balanced L28 cheers biggels

Hey guys ive been looking for about 8 months for a air cleaner cover for my 240z if anyone has one kicking about feel free to drop me a line cheers Richard

Me and my old man manages to strip my 71 back to bare metal, fabricate new sill pannels, door skins , weld in new floor pans repair the firewall, then paint and overhaul everything but the diff in just on 6 weeks . There was two of us and we had all the tools. It was a lot of work but well worth it! cheers Richard

I got my Dash restored by these guys ; http://www.dashboardrestorations.com.au/. They did a great job and were quick to i got my dash back in 2.5 weeks( but i live in Australia) there is a slight difference in the texture of the glove box but its hardly noticeable.

I had a similar problem and i discovered that one of my carbies float levels were down alot compared to the other .

Good news i fixed it i hada slight blockage in the back carby and after stopping the car at the shops i went to drive off and she was only running on 4 cylinders. Turns out there was some $^!# in the flat bowl. After cleaning it out shes back to her best. Thanks for the help guys cheers Richard

I have electronic ignition and the coil is new , it does it all the time but is worse when it up to temperature

Hey guys i was after some advice ive got a problem with my zed having a slight miss a light throttle , i have replaced all the ignition system(leads rotor botton, rottor cap new coil and new plugs) and the problem seems to go and then after about 80 miles it came back! i checked float levels of the carbies and as far as i can tell the 2 carbs are balanced , what else could it be? cheers Richard

Just pull the piston out and dip it upside down and the oil will just run out cheers Richard

Hey guys i need some advise im rebuilding a 260 2+2 for my girlfriend and she ll need power steering does anyone know what power rack would fit it ??? cheers Richard

Just a quick question what does 13 to 14:1 AFR at a steady line mean im a little confused . Im running a L28 with a 42 79 cam with a N42 head? what sort of horsepower should this combo produce ????? cheers Richard

Yeah I find that at 5000 i run out of gas and that s when my cam really starts to work .I have a stage 3 cam and I when hits 5000 the power just flattens out, but its my understanding that with this cam it sould be pulling really hard at thsi RPM. So am i right to assume that the SM needles will still give could fuel economy and more fuel at wide open throttle? cheers Richard

Hey guys I have a question about intake manifolds. I have a N46 intake manifold on my 240z a,d wondered if anyone knows much about these , and if it would be worth changing to a N36 intake ? cheers Richard

Hey guys I ve been reading in these forums and i was wondering if someone could clear this up , i running a L28 with a fair warm cam, and i m have f54 needles in my SU , are these ok or should i get the SM needles that ztherapy have mentioned. If so would this change making any power difference. cheers Richard

Yeah im running twin su's

Hey guys i was looking at making a cold air intake for my 240z and was wondering what sort off performance increase others have experience with such a system. cheers Richard
