I reakon what a lemon! Second time I've seen a ZX converted to carbies. What's the point of a ZX after that?

haha i much prefer Kevin's car it much nicer looking very classic yet modern too

Isn't the S14 Sr20 Silvia gearbox fairly easy to adapt to the Z? Just a bell housing change I think. I am wondering if the S15 6 Speed would work just as well. That would be really good in a Z and strong

http://www.zcar.com/month/2004/11/ Usually I don't go in for putting a car down but honestly if this is car of the month then I don't know. :stupid: Leave the Z lines alone please!

Just noticed you replied to my other thread ahh sigh the difficulties without notification .

MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP US no notifications lately!

Yes I posted a thread about your exact same problem Alan I only had a couple of replies and I figured it must have been a small group effected but now I realise it must be a good lot of us having the problem. Mike hasn't said anything yet but I don't wanna hijack the thread so I might PM him.

Does it make you horny baby yeah! sorry bit bored here

Ok i think it happens under hard braking because of teh vacumm assist. My car does the same I have not cured it but it doesn't seem to be a huge problem. The Sandgroper your mechanic or carb guy might say it's set fine but doesn't mean it is. When setting up your chokes make sure you attach the cables when you have fully turned the choke levers so they are <b>completely</b> off then attach the cables the normal way. Also the choke should be pulled to full when starting and once started it should be set to around 1200rpm for a little you may drive straight away just adjust the choke as you go down the road. You'll find the engine revs will seem higher each time you stop as the engine warms keep the choke at 1000rpm after about 2mins driving. It should not foul your plugs if your plugs are fouling still check and make sure it's not valve stem seal's leaking and causing oil build up . Hope that helps!

I dunno i see what the dilemna is but I think once you bid you've said I'm willing to buy just because you haven't researched what you need isn't the sellers fault. Maybe you guys can reach a compromise but I just think it's a little unfair possibly the seller might be able to sell them to the second highest bidder if you write him a nice email. To answer your question though you should get 48's for the stroker. Not meaning to offend btw

Haha you guys are funny. To be honest thinking about it I know exactly where your coming from I see both sides of the coin. Yes I agree it would be better to do it to a non PS30 car especially since they are so rare. Infact you'd be better off with an L28 stroked to 3.1ltr and Alan I don't even like an RB in a normal Z S30, HS30 or dare I say HLS30 haha just playing but seriously I prefer a well worked L28 just goes with the period so yeah I guess i see what your saying even if the S20 valve cover looked pretty schmick chromed. I find it hard sometimes owning an old car one side of me says modify and improve the other says keep original and neat. I guess that's why I need 2 Z's

500HP is heaps in a 240z you'll break 11's or 10's with that I'd say. In terms of grip it's relative to your tyres and how good they are how wide they are. I'm not an expert when it comes to these power numbers personally it's a bit of overkill for me but then again you can never have enough power. I'd say 3.9 would be ok wouldn't wanna go 4.1. Will also depend on gearbox ratio's i know nothing on the borg warner 6 speed. There is a guy Stony on here i think his name is with an Rb26 he's running 11's i think he might be the guy to talk to.

I'd be interested in importing a 510 2 door one day but not now . or even a 2 seater ZX turbo

Thanks heaps Alan I really enjoyed all of the pictures as you can see it was hard for me to resist and comment on cars . I love the 432's with the overfenders I know you think it's Blasphemy but I have fallen in love with the look myself as I think Zheadv8 has am i right? I am still wondering how the same look would go down in red it would be good to be slightly different but just as effective . Hope there are some more photos to come did you get many interior shots?

I think this idea is Ludacris I saw an annoucement on Hybridz a while ago about a Bill being passed. I think it was Arnie's idea see how it bites you in the butt . just playing with you guys but seriously older cars shouldn't make up as much as the population and therefore only contribute a small amount of green house gas. They should be targeting other areas that's for sure.

hahaha. Well he probably think's it's a DATSON 240z not a ZX . If i'm too lazy to fix a fuel pump and let it rott for 15 years imagine how bad some of my other toys must look. Be great if the guy could spell

Oh really I would have thought they changed it to internally but then again if the cam was designed for an E31 would make sense less stuffing about and most agree it makes no difference. I just prefer internally as a matter of opinion in my head it seems to work better but hey that's just me. Yes the N42 would have the holes as you say.

I think the price of that car is absurd to be honest. Like anything though it's what the market thinks. Honestly unless I'm a multi millionaire i'll stick with replica's built to similar to better specs. For example I'd rather own a copy of a KPGC10 than the real thing with my budget because i would enjoy it more. However if i had unlimited money that would be a different story real deal hands down. Personally I still don't know what the big deal over a CUDA is anyone wanna enlighten me???
