Just now looking at your signature I hope you enjoy your 71 240-Z I love the 71's(I've got 3). There my most favorite out of all the Z's (including 350Z-which I like very much) I've got a 70 too. Like 71's much better. my 2¢ -Brandon

There are no seats that will fit without any changes. No 260,280 Z seats will fit. Have to switch out the rollers. No other Datsun-Nissan seats will fit<-that I've tried At www.zhome.com there's a write up on a Honda seat. Pictures and everything. sorry I do not have that link at the moment. Personally I love the Original 240Z seats. Will use them until there dead then fix/buy new one's. They make bolt-up racing seats for $$$$$$$$$$ -Brandon 71 240Z series 1

Any one have a picture of a 4-door 240K? Off subject just noticed this, It seems that all of the highly active regsiterd oct 01 guess I've been lost for a while me and Gav240z are right after one another too 1315-1316 -Brandon

That's exactly what I would like to have. A Turbo-Stroker From what I've been told it's a waste of money to get every possible HP. Should I do away with this? -Brandon

Never used it. Never seen it closest thing I've used is PRO-15 -Brandon

I guess it's just a U.S thing to talk in HP I dont think the mass-public would understand KW

Just got finished looking at Alfadog's 240K. It kinda looks line a Shelby-Z mix. Too bad we did not get them here in the U.S -Brandon

Yes, I have seen 'Bruce Almighty.' I was so mad. He completely KILLS the car. At least it still runs. LONG LIVE THE Z

What's the point in all that sound in a Z?...It's a small car, don't need all that much to blow you out of your mind. High quality 6x9's with mids and tweets will give you all the sound you need. Don't get me wrong. I love loud music, but I know you dont need all that much in a Z as you would in a SUV or mom's Van to get the same effect. Gotaa think of tickets. Cops dont like Highschool kids,loud music,and fast cars.

Leeroy- Thank you so much.Thats exactly what I needed to know. Now I have a lot of research on where to buy the parts. Any one have any websites, stores under your favorites? Most of it I see here and there on e-may. wouldnt mind to have a web site to go to. Starting google searches now. Thanx for all help, Brandon

It's always great to get a good laugh

They are magnesium-alloy. They used Magnesium wells in the olds days cuz they are light and strong but THEY ARE VERY FLAMMABLE.

**********business********* type-O, sorry

http://www.calship.com/ try there. A thread came up a cuple days ago. The verdict way they do good buniss. Sorry dont have the link to the thread. -Brandon

Get the clear ones with no trim. You will need some Rubber weather stripping. You don't want tinted ones. How can someone see you in the dark? I know they still put out light but the point remains. I would hate to see your zed die. Clear-safer, looks better with almost all Z-cars. Brandon 71Z

My bother (who runs the local CarQuest) told me most of the parts would be special order with any RB-series engine. Any body els have any success? What's up with the 83zxt? I know it has hydraulic lifters. What makes them so bad?Whats positive? 81,82Zxt-Seems to be the best pick. What makes them so good? Is there any gotchas? You know, things you don't know untill you've dont it. Which ever I go with 81,82,83 I plan to buy it in perfectly running condition with a rebuild within past 5-years. As for now RB just doesn't seem possible I'll be doctmenting everything. With Pictures and vedo tape. When finished I'll give it all to Mike. I'll post as much as I can up at geocities to stay forever.

, I hope no one does that to their car.

Gav240z , I LOVE it. Never take it off the web. no matter what you do at least keep it on geocities.Websites seem to stay there forever. I'm on 56K took me a cuple of minutes to come up. -Brandon

I will not be racing, just running around the track for fun.They dont have any tracks here. I have to go way out of my way. My goal is to reach 400hp+ I've been looking into the RB26dett. The only problem is finding parts I'm leaning more towards an 82ZXT. Working my way up to 400hp. By my research the L-series turbo it'll only make up to 400hp and not much more. It seems more feasible to go with the L-6 turbo due to parts, cost. I don't want to spend no more than 6500 on the engine. If I go with the L-6 maybe I could drive it as a daily driver. All work will be done mainly my me. -Brandon

That would be a really sharp eye catching car. It would make a Great Show car. -Brandon

thefastestz- "I love the sound and look of the triple webers, header, and 2 1/2" setup" ------------------------------- That's what I would like to have. So I take it I should go stroker with a home made type blower? How well will a L-series engine take to a supercharger? Is there anything to watch out for? Rebello racing told me it'll be around 5K. From what I've read they build great engines. Is there any where els that custom builds strokers? Thanx, -Brandon

I'm looking into buying either a highly tuned stroker or Turbo (even twin turbo). Which one is capable of the most Horse Power? I figure a stroker will produce more go power off the line rather than waiting for the turbo's to spool up. I'm leaning more towards a stroker and thoughts? It'll be going into my old 71 parts car. She's ready to handle major power (new stronger solid rails). I've replaced the gas tank with one from a 78Z and ran bigger fuel lines. She'll see some track time when able to. Thanx in advance for all your advice -Brandon

BartZ240 Here's a trick with Locking gas caps that you've lost the key's to or in your cas bought car with no keys. Take a Slot head screw driver and a hammer (bigger the better). put the screw driver right in the middle if the lock and hit-hit-hit and usually you'll bust the lock or gas cap. If that doesn't work, drill the cap until you'll able to get it off. If your worried about stuff getting in your gas tank I wouldn't go with the drill. I've had success with both methods. Just make sure you don't drill a hole into your car. As for the locks-try getting a locksmith to make you a key. The only other alternative is buying all new locks which is very expensive......110 just for the ignition:stupid: -Brandon

In my opinion I would go with the green. The Blue is a great color but doesn't stand out as much. Green just says to me Don't I wish I had that car. The blue says Beautiful but traditional.
