I was told by my engine builder that they consitantly got 8-10 more hp on the bench test, with the N36, on their modified L6 motors. Of coarse they bored my N36 out, along with the carbs. I assume they just flow better. I've only seen them on 260Z's.

I picked up my motor at Rebello Racing with an old Geo Tracker. I took out the back seat, put in a small pallet folded up some old rebond carpet padding, then layed the motor on its side and forklifted the pallet into the back of the Tracker. Fit like a gloveROFL

I remember seeing a link discribing how to convert a 1987-89 300ZX turbo LSD ( using parts off of a 280Z R200 ext) so as to fit it in a 240Z. I can't seem to find it under the search. I've only seen links showing pics of the LSD. I already have an R200 3.9 diff, but might be able to get my hands on the cluth type 300Z LSD. If someone knows of a link with pictures, DIRECTIONS ect., could that someone post it for me thanks.

Love the primer black. (look at my avatar)

that hole in the end of the swaybar is for the bushings to sit in.

Well, one of the reasons I went with the stroker from Rebello Racing was because thier shop was down the street from where I worked. Plus they were willing to work with a rookie ( me, I asked a lot of questions) The 240Z's and 510's in SCCA that were coming in first at Infineon all had Rebello engines. That was enough for me.

Here's a nice pic of a 350Z with some spoilers

I have a 3.0L stroker, so call me a little bias, but damn does it sound mean. Everyone keeps looking at my motor for 2 more cylinders. Beyond how you drive it, take care of it, who built it, ect. Does one engine have any better longevity over the other???

When the new 350Z came out, I saw that monster pile of **** in front of the Concord, Ca Nissan. Were they trying to tell us what they thought of the Z????

I had just put in my 275 hp. 3.0L into my 240Z. (big bucks).. I punched it at a light to show someone "this ain't stock!", when it felt like a cylinder went!!! I pulled over thinking the worst. I about passed out when I noticed that one of the spark plug has just popped off of the distributer.

I was told to measure at the valve. More accurate. So I measured .08 at the valve, when I checked the measurement at the cam it was .06. Can someone explain that???

How about 100 bucks, the rebuild kit cost me 150. By the way these carbs are without the linkage shaft that goes between them. so save your old one (if your just swapping carbs).

I was told by my engine builder, that they recommend using a 3" exhaust with thier header. Right now I'm running a 2 1/2 exhaust. Is there anyone who makes a pre-formed 3" exhaust for the 240Z? Or is this going to be custom. How much of a difference would 1/2 of an inch make in performance. Any recommendations on this would be great . I'm running a 3.0L F54 block, N42 head, bored SU's, cam with about .490 lift.

The last I heard about his "accident", he crashed while doing a wheelie. Got road rash and a few broken bones ( ankle I think ), but lived to tell about it. There are pictures of the accident on his site. You can see him hobbling off of the freeway. INSANE!!! :stupid:

seems Darius is still with us.

I've been reading the post about the LT-1 240Z. Here is Darius's site. www.darius240z.com

How can you make a movie about modified Japanese cars and not have a 240Z in it??? When it comes to modifying, I believe the 240Z has had more things done to it that any other car.

What width are your rims?? I just aquired some 17" rims(7" in front, 8" in the rear) I was thinking about using those same tires you mentioned (avs es100). I'll let you know..

I had a 280a five speed with 3.9 rear end once and it was almost the same as having a 4 speed with a 3.36 rear end( the 5th gear felt like 4th in the 4speed). The fifth gear in that 5 speed is a little too short for a 3.9 rear end. You only drop about 400 rpms shifting from 4th to 5th. But you do get a harder pull from the shorter 1st and 2nd gear. I think the best combo (what i have now) is the '280b' 5speed with a 3.9 rear end. I believe it has a taller 1st and 2nd ( putting them closer to third so as to not drop too much in rpms) with a taller 5th gear. Plus I've heard it is an all around stonger tranny. Here is a transmission calculator that I used. www.geocities.com/z_design_studio/

Can you imagine what the anti-american movement would do with a picture of American forces arresting the people we have stated that we are liberating??? That's why your not seeing a use of force on the looters.
