Also There is a PDF image of all the chassis alignmnet measurements floating around on the 'net somewhere. I have a copy at home. Dont know why its not up in the downloads section. I'll have to find it and upload it.

Come on guy's give the guy a break, its only his second post here, and he's probably not up to speed with all the "correct" terminology. the easies way to replace the chassis, it to buy another car. But what he probably means is repairing, or replacing the frame rails. On a side note, I've have wondered how difficult it would be to weld up a full space frame chassis, and bolt on all the z bits.

Yes they did. All cars after 197X (something) probably around 74 had to have side intrusion members in them. It was an ADR that was brought in around that time. I have a set of 2+2 doors with side intrusion members, and they are bloody heavy.

Hey Aux, try reading the location of the poster. The USA aint the only country on the planet. Yeah we got the 260z right up to 77. Converted to unleaded: meaning all out pertol is minimum 91 octane, but in the 80's we started taking the lead out of the petrol, requiring the heads to have harder valve seats. (not the bronze ones the early heads had). Our premium is 95 octane, and our hi octane fuel is 98. 8,500.00 Australia Dollars = 6,074.75 USD (If its a 2+2, tell him he's dreaming) You guys have lower than 91 octane gas? I'd be upset about that. Quote from a fuel website:

So did we, but not Twin Turbos. Anyway the guy metioned the 300zx, how many variations of the 300zx does he have to go through? z31,z32 - both a 300zx.

The performance info is at the linked site. follow the link. whats 158kW in horsepower?

Yeah, they are. The Z is definetly a better looking car, so is the fairlady.

It's interesting this this thread poped up when it did. I'd seen a silvia advertised for sale where I live, before this thread started, and searched the internet and found the one for sale in victoria. I worked out that getting the one from victoria wouldnt be worthwhile. By the time i got it transported, and done the restoration on it, it would cost more than buying the one that was for sale locally. And i already have a restoration project, my 240z. So I went and looked at the silvia. It's a little modified (flared guards, mags, blacked out chrome), but I couldn'd resist owning such a rare classic nissan, so I bought it, and will be picking it up this sunday. My new toy:

Awww come on Alfa. Putting a Pink torana up is going to bias people against it. Some info about the Torana http://www.fastlane.com.au/Features/Gold_Torana.htm

I dont think he mentioned the 300ZX TT because they never got them in Europe either.

They dont have to be very tight. Its not like thay are holding the head together, or are under any great pressure. They just have to press the gasket to form a seal, and be tight enough so the parts dont move around. Do them up too tight and you'll be pulling the studs out of the soft aluminium heads.

Get an RA28 I used to have one, and my brothers got one. they look great. There's one over here that has a lexus V8 in it.

Is this a new radio? I think the red wire is the switched wire (the one that goes off when you turn the key off), and the yellow one is the always on one (not switched) so that the radio remembers the presets and keeps time. The cigarette lighter is a good choice for the alway on (is it always on in a z?) . also the original radio circuite is good for the switched power source.

Does this car have an alarm or immobiliser? because that would drain teh battery also, so would the clock.

The electric Fuel pumps were exteranl to the tank. It's very possible that a PO could have removed it. They humg off a bracket that was bolted to the chassis cross member under the boot floor panel.

Thats not the only one in australia. Theres this one also which isn't a GT-R but they claim it's spec'd up to GT-R specifications, which is wuite funny when toy realise its got a L28 instesd of a S20 twin cam. This was probably a GT-X. http://www.c-red.com.au/stock/kgc10/index.shtml

You guys are gonna love this. http://www.enthuno-mori.at-server.com/nissan/20040208nissan/ here's a seek peek:

Could try opening the bonet and looking at them. If the have flat tops, they are flat tops. (If they are have curved edges thay are round tops).

Are they heavy are they? How heavy are they compared to other mags?

63, Professional wrestling (WWF WWC, WTF ever its called?) News Flash Bambi Killer, It's not real, its all staged scriped and rehearsed. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. 57, Trailer trash cant afford venison.

Abas 1970 240z LHD ex-CA car (in progress 12 years and counting) 1972 240z RHD (rusty project for 15 years in the future!!!) Now thats commitment! (or just plain lazyness. Just kidding)

This means that it was the 60039th L24 engine block produced. When you take into consideration that the L24 was also used in other datsun models at the time. I dont believe that the numbers specific to the car, but to the block ( I could be wrong, as i havent researched this, the though had never occured to me before now). It then it becomes realistic that this number could have come from a 70's engine. eg the 240K/skyline was also fitted with the L24 as well as the 240Z, so then 2 cars could not both have the same ingine number. I havent seen any engine numbers for early cars. Or It could just be a early head on a later block.

But the steering wheel is not from a 280z its from a 240z, unless Unless bill means he got it out of one of his other cars that a 280z, but originally its a 240z steering wheel.

Not easy but, Take the p90 off and put a e88 on it (or N42). That will bring the compression up, increasing horsepower. The p90 has larger cc chambers (It has a 53cc chamber) than the e88 because its for a turbo engine, and along with the dished pistons lowers the static compression ratio down for the turbo. The p90 is supposed to flow better, but the e88 will have higher compression. Putting it on a flattop L28 motor puts compression in the mid 10's.
