Brake upgrade
Sorry to hijack. My 71Z supposedly has Nissan Competition calipers up front. Are Porterfield pads available for these? I was told its the same pads for a Toyota 4x4 (can’t remember if 84 or 89). Porterfields are available for rear drums? I’m a Porterfield fan. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Twice pipes Tokico 1, 3/4 in sways, ext oil cooler

Complete Ansa
I agree the Monza isn’t the same. I had one years ago. I ended up with twice pipes mated to the headers. It’s louder but I’m happy for now. Thanks 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Twice pipes Tokico 1, 3/4 in sways, ext oil cooler

Rear Brake Line Rubbing Against Drive Shaft
You are correct. I will try correcting it by reversing the hardline. Can it be twisted with no issue? 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Twice pipes Tokico 1, 3/4 in sways, ext oil cooler

Rear Brake Line Rubbing Against Drive Shaft

Rear Brake Line Rubbing Against Drive Shaft
Just bought these off Motorsport (rears). I guess longer braided lines it is and orient them away from moving part if possible. Thanks 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Twice pipes Tokico 1, 3/4 in sways, ext oil cooler

Rear Brake Line Rubbing Against Drive Shaft
I replaced the rear line with oem but the new line is gonna get ruptured as well. After a short test drive I discovered the line is rubbing against the rotating drive shaft (hope I identified it correctly). Am I missing a part or a longer line is needed?

Cool Exhaust Sound Options please
No lift pics. Hope this helps. From header. Note it’s all welded because PO had everything welded to begin with. Mid section Rear from tail view No low hanging pipes 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Twice pipes Tokico 1, 3/4 in sways, ext oil cooler

I’d enjoy the 13 hour drive! I just wish my car is sorted out that time and I have the time. Let’s see. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Twice pipes Tokico 1, 3/4 in sways, ext oil cooler

Cool Exhaust Sound Options please
Mart those are prob the quiet version (should be glasspack and round tips.. see video). Yes they do rust quickly.. it’s an Italian quickie for me . Anyway I’m set for now. Not exactly the same. These are the ones I was looking for. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Twice pipes Tokico 1, 3/4 in sways, ext oil cooler

Cool Exhaust Sound Options please
Update: dilemna solved. Was going for twice pipes but tried 2.5 instead to avoid cutting of the valance but guess what... ended with twice pipes after all (my muffler guy did an awesome job not cutting) which sounded great to me. Let’s see how long this lasts but like I said I’m loving it for now. Refined sound but too quiet (Abarth) 2.5 nice deep scavenging but still a bit quuet Twice pipes... twice the fun.. I’d say it’s closest to the Ansa scream I’m after.. happy camper now. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Abarth Tokico 1-3/4 sways ext oil cooler

HP question
Cool w3wilkes!!! I had the chance on an 84 M491 with an 87 Turbo motor a few years ago for cheap which could have easily tripled in value but... another stupid decision on my part smh.

Understood. Thanks. Yeah it’s always the quest for more hp. I need to be content with what I’ve got. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Abarth Tokico 1-3/4 sways ext oil cooler

HP question
Gotcha. Agree. One reason I went back to a Z is the wife bitching about my spending on my aircooled 911 which I sold.. stupid move but.. gotta move on. I intend to enjoy what I have for now. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Abarth Tokico 1-3/4 sways ext oil cooler

Thanks. So better off going with a ZX block instead of the 2.6 correct? 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Abarth Tokico 1-3/4 sways ext oil cooler

HP question
Thanks. That’s good enough. If stock cams then can I assume I have 260Z power with a little more due to the triple carb setup? 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Abarth Tokico 1-3/4 sways ext oil cooler

HP question
So if I have a 2.6 block, E88 heads, triple DCOE40’s approximately what kind of horsepower do I have. Sorry it’s too general but a ballpark would be good enough. Thanks folks. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Abarth Tokico 1-3/4 sways ext oil cooler

Park / tail lights fuse keeps blowing
Voila!!! That was it.. the inspection and probably due to melted wiring. Totally forgot recalling reconnecting it and I guess this was the reason why it was purposely disconnected in the first place. Feel a little embarrassed with all that diagnosis. I was getting frustrated but sat down and reread the replies.

Group 4 PAG (Replica Campagnolo 40802) Wheels
I’m pretty sure it’s the same bike company. Magnus Walker is a big fan of these. Thought about them when I had my 84 Carrera but pricey enough. Nice period correct wheels though. 12/70 2.6 block E88 heads Mallory DCOE40 3/2 Abarth Tokico 1-3/4 sways ext oil cooler
