  1. E engine M management C computer Thing that makes this motor run its brain. "chopped at right after the shifter" I would get A trasmission aswell?

    There are some here. I grew up in MN. and up north they hold scca rally runs on logging roads and back dirt roads. I know they hold the same type in wiss. aswell. But you wont see much for Z's there its the hart of the rust belt.

    well, for doing A drag car. Your best bet would be fab up A subframe and put A cut down solid axle with wheel tubs in. The next step down would be A corvette (c3 I think) rearend. The corvette used the same style rear with independent rear suspension and can be fit in your Z. No it wont just slip in & bolt-up. But if you are going to go V-8 for drag racing you will be putting more power to the ground @ much more hp&torque then any stock nissan rearend was ment for. Just do it rite the first time. After all the first you will need to track down the nissan rear you think you want. Blow it at the track and start looking again. Alittle more money up front will save you tons later.

    The block color is blue. now I am not sure of the color code but its alittle lighter blue then mine. This is GM block blue and it is close but not (on the money)

    I have my swap in the works. A few years back I had the chance to put A few miles on A 71 240Z with A 327 vette motor and 4 speed. Once you feel A Z with that kind of power. You will fall in love and never look back. love @ the twist of A key.

    Keep it on the track & off the streets Rember if you race someone and they hurt someone else you are just as much at fault. Strang & freek things go on at high speeds that you wont want to deal with on A track. No less A city street with other people or parked cars around.:dead:

    went over where my seats are and looked. The side covers are gone. Sorry.....
  12. Now I would like A set for my 73 240. But I dont like the idea of handing over my cc# in the hopes that some day they may do there 6-8 weeks of tooling. I would need A date they will be done-billed-sent. Sorry been taken for rides by aftermarket part house ppl before and wont happen again. Get real dates & I will buy.
  13. carguyinok replied to WGHungerford's post in a topic in Interior

    I had found the same talk from my tire store here. The main part of this is there are few wheel makers out there doing A wheel for A rear wheel drive car. Hell 90% of the cars made today are front wheel drive. So the rwd wheel market is for the most part is truck, van, and suv. Have your tire guy call A older (been around for years) wheel maker like american raceing wheels and see if they have some older inventory not in the new books. After this year the only rearwheel drive car made by GM will be the corvette. :disappoin

    1st I would put in A new fuel filter. if that didnt help see if there is any psi from the pump. Z's are known for junk in the gas tanks. rust and so on. Thats what it sounds like being it runs till you give it gas. Junk from the tank.

    If you have a ColorTune, you simply install it in place of one of the plugs, then adjust the carburetor that feeds that cylinder (the front carburetor for 1 & 2, the rear for 3 & 4). The ColorTune will let you see the color of the flame. White flashes mean too lean; yellow flame means too rich. Blue (like a Bunsen burner) is correct, and blue with a faint orangish tinge is the best for power.

    I was going to go over to the bodyshop tonight. But it's not A good night for that. One of the guys spun A main bearing in his jetboat. So I am going tomorrow night. Hope my hood cut outs are done. I will post some pics as soon as its done. :classic:
  22. That is not A bumper from A 240Z 1973. I have A 73 and am very happy to say I have A nice thin ( looking good but couldnt stop anything) bumper. :tapemouth
  23. good luck on that trade... why not send it back and get back what you gave them?
