thanks 2003z that was the track that i drove by but couldn't get any info on it. this really helps. i'll be trying to go there within the next month or so. thanks again everyone

i was looking for a road course

i know about road atlanta but didn't know i could race there. i'll ck it out. also the little taledega. i think i drove by there once. 2003z if u have any more info like phone number address etc... for the little talledega let me know thanks

hey everyone, i'm interested in bringing my 240z to a track. i just purchased the car a few months ago and wanted to see if anyone knows where a track that i could test and maybe race my car thanks

hey guys i'm steven 27 enganged and bought my first z. a 73' with an L28 and rust. i'm self employed. been a car freak since about 13. no kids. my first time with a carb car. so far it runs great. live in atlanta, ga.

thanks everyone.. i had mentioned burning a quart of oil because i was planning on rebuilding the motor, either for turbo or n/a. i've decided to go turbo and FI. i've seen the carb turbos and am just not familiar with that set up.

my goals, as with most people, is more power. i figured with the FI i could turbocharge the motor and achieve more power. also i have an extra intercooler, piping, turbo and a few other turbo stuff. and could make the manifold myself.

when i purchased the car i had this setup in it already. the car drives good but is burning oil at the rate of about 1 or so quarts a week. i was going to rebuild the motor. i've done alot of late model turbo cars (supras, 240sx's, honda's, mitsu's, etc...) and like turbos.

i have a 73 240z with an L28. would it be better to run FI if so what would i need for the conversion. thanks

oh and. curtis thats a great looking car..

well the reason i'm going with 17 is because when i bought my car it came with 17" wheels. the tires are 215 45 in the front and 225 45 in the rear i figured the rims were 8" wide. i like the look of the 17s and the tires are practictly brand new so that would save me money if i just bought the rims. the wheels that are on it are konigs, not sure what style though.

does anyone know if i can run a 17x9 on the rear of my 73 240z if so what offet and what company makes them thanks. does anyone have 9" in the rear if so any pics or info

antiseaze would also work. apply on back of pads and moving parts.

ck the timing aparantly it happened after u changed the starter. did u put everything back. good luck

i've only got one fender down to the metal right now. i'll put some pics in when i get a chance

thanks. these all sound great. i'm gonna call around about the media blasting, but probable won't make my final decision yet. i'll let u guys knows thanks for the help

i'm in the process of repainting my 73z . it seems to have about 5 layers of paint and minor rust. should i strip paint down to the metal. if so whats the best way to do that. i've used power sanders and a few other things to sort of grind the paint off but it takes a while. i'm not trying to build a show car but want it to look good. thanks

its an L28 n42

i'll have to try it sounds good i just bought a 73 240z and the roof looks like someone walked on it.

thanks ed. that really helps i'll ck to see what it is tomorrow

hey whats up i just bought a 73' 240z. its in pretty good condition but could use body work and little things here and there. my ? is the guy i bought it from told me it had an L28 motor in it. i couldn't find anything numbers on the block (i still have to degrease some of it though) the only thing i saw was on the head which read E88. how can i tell if its an L28 or L24. its a 5 speed tranny. it has the two carbs on it too. the car runs great though i just want to know which motor it is. ok just two more ?s . what kind of power can i get out of this motor L28 or L24. i've built lots of jap late model performance cars but have never had anything with carbs. and can u turbocharge these motors. ok 1 more ?. i read in some threads that the 73 is not as good as the earlier models, why? thanks

hey, i just bought a 73 240z. i've had the car for 3 days and love it. theres alot of work that i want to do on it. and will need some help with the buildup. i was a honda tech at a local dealer for a while and worked at several performance shops. my problem is that i've never worked on a carb. i ve built lots of motors and some manual trannys but they were on late model cars. see ya. i'll post some pics too later
