240ZX

Sure enough! In fact, a lot of the Z's have what appears to be a crack at this seam, caused from years of chassis flex.

Dave, this is off the subject of your question but we're almost next door neighbors. I'm in Santa Paula. Maybe we could get together and talk about the Z's sometime. Interested?

D-F, You gotta give some details, like........what year Z do you have? That would be good for starters!

Steve, Are these for the race car in the build? Or, did you just want to surprise me with a gift? They do look awesome!!! However, I think I will stick with my Rebello SU's......simple, payed for, and easier to tune. Of course I might change my mind if they can produce wine. P.S. Come on Steve, did you special order those purple anodized throttle arms because they remind you of grapes??? P.S.S. Seriuosly, how is the race car coming along?

Welcome, you have come to the right place for your Z car questions. Just about any question you can think of has been asked before and has been answered many times. So, for details you should browse the tech articles section on the sight. For a simplified answer.............L28E designates the 2800cc fuel injected motor. So, if you have this engine without any sort of induction system on it and you desire to run carburators, then here is what you will want.............intake manifold set-up from a 240Z as well as the SU carburators that were on these cars. Stay away from the flat top carbs!!! You will want either the 3 or 4 screw round top SU's. These early intakes and carbs will bolt right up to your L28E engine. Fuel pressure requirements for these SU's is 3 to 4 psi. Anyway, this info should get you pointed in the right direction. As I've told many newbies, do some homework and read the tech articles. Once you start looking into the details you will discover all sorts of things you can do to these wonderful old Z cars.

v12horse, I'll second that motion!!! I was hoping someone would step up and comment 1st. I didn't want to be the 1st to :sick:

Well, Eibach is without question a good springs company. I run'em on all four corners of my 240Z. The fronts are 200 lbs. and 275 lbs. rear. Yes, they are a bit stiff but, that's the price you pay for high performance cornering capability. Just remember, it's the correct combination of chassis components that make for a good set-up, not just a good set of springs. Contemplate the following.....bushings, springs, shocks, anti-roll bars, adjustable camber and caster plates, adjustable transverse arms, relocating the front pivot point, strut shortening, strut braces, alignment settings, light wheels, tires and tire compounds, rollcage, etc., etc..............

TomoHawk, Come on boy! Focus! I don't think you need to worry your little heart out about a fuel cell being implemented in the next day or two!!! Remember, the almighty dollar has incredible vetoing power and don't you think the oil companies won't milk every last drop of crude off of this planet for a profit? Relax, get in your Z and go for a drive.........you'll feel better!

What's the difference between Aussie$ and US$? $15k It never hurts to dream, I suppose!!!

Ya know guys, I took a look at my emblem last night just to make sure my memory was working and guess what, I lied.....the 240 part of the emblem is chrome but the center of the Z is painted white. Sorry to get ya all excited over nothing. :cry: :stupid:

Caution....sharks in the water after chrome emblems!!!! Man, it's a go thing I live on the other side of the country. Guys, these emblems are on my Z, wish I had some to offer to you.

Interesting information. This site always amazes me with the info that pours forth. On my HLS3002126 (USA) the emblems in question are the chrome version.
