Dreco depends greatly on how your car is set up. Depending on how your ignition is mapped and what your camshaft profile will allow it to rev to. Then if your running SU's they will top out at 7000rpm. With tripples they can breathe higher up. However just cause you can rev to that doesn't mean you should check what bottom end preparation has been done and what valve springs etc.. It's one of those things that just depends

yeah thanks for the tip i know i could do that but that's just too much effort

I agree completely TexasZ I do the same thing all the time. If Tod Kaneko happened to stumble across my site and ask me if I could remove his car from the banner then I would discuss it with him and do what i felt was best. I'm by no means trying to make profit on it just get fellow Z members together and have fun. However I do feel credit is important as you say

yeah i'd seen it recommended but i was sure MIke had put it in now I can't find it?

If you can't afford to do the bottom end properly focus on the top end for now. Since your compression is stuffed I'd say it's the rings for sure but you never know could be a bent valve or something. That's what I'm doing anyway. I have an ok running motor in my Z at the moment but I know it's getting tired. I'm building up a P90 F54 combo, Port work, Cam, Flat tops, diesel crank and overbore. Doing piece by piece as i can afford it on the side and the benefit is I still have a running car. Do it once and do it properly i think. I'm still thinking if I should rebuild the gbox and carbs while it's out. Then I'll have all new running gear except for the diff in my Z. It would be a huge difference that's for sure. Remember all this extra power your gonna need a better clutch see how that budget blows out of proportion? BTW diff ratios make a big difference.

Is it just me or can we still not access the members gallery from a forum thread? I thought Mike implemented this function has it since been removed? I really miss this feature

I have used Tod Kaneko's 240z to promote www.VicZcar.com if i knew how to contact him I would ask his permission but I don't know how to? I also don't see the harm because I'm not using it to make a profit just promote Z cars. However I have thought about changing it to a members Z car which i would do but on a poor uni student budget can't finance a good enough digital camera to take a good enough photo. Catch 22 till I get a proper camera anyway. What do you guys think?

Hey Jim just wanted to say nice car. I was lucky enough to see this car in person in Melbourne when it was up for auction. I noticed the back of it had a GTR badge on it which fooled a guy I was with at the time. But I noticed the P in KPGC10 missing in the description and realised it was "a copy" which i agree is a much better proposition and probably what I'd go for. I am interested in what you think the motor is producing? I'm building most likely a very similar motor at the moment for my 240z and have experience how quick the same motor is on just dual SU's and let me tell you I was impressed so much so I couldn't stop laughing afterwards at how ridiculously quick it was for an L28 powered Z.

That's not uncommon when my friends and I watch old skool movies like that we often try to spot interesting cars. Often you can see a Z somewhere

If you look in my gallery I've just uploaded some images of the last 2 VicZcar cruises we've been on. Some arn't in the correct folder because of when i uploaded them and now I can't change them I'm not sure if Mike is working on this or not? Anyway have a look in my gallery and if you want to see some extra stuff just check out the link in my signature. :classic:
