I will be running MS in my Z, it won't be on a Nissan engine but it is a fuel injected straight six. Wondering if there is anyone in the membership who is fluent in the MS lingo that I can bounce some issues around with. I am on one of the MS forums but they don't have a lot of time for newbies stumbling their way through. Thanks, Chris

This bmw engine I'm putting in the Z doesn't lend it self to taking vacuum from it for the brake booster so have been thinking about using a 12v vacuum pump to do the job. Hella makes a pump that seems to be used a lot in Volvo, VW and Audi but I have zero experience with these things. I'm not even sure how much vacuum is required by our brake boosters and I have read a few times in the archives of Hybridz of guys doing away with the vacuum assist altogether. Any advice is welcome,

I have just become the new owner of a 71 240z (series 1 car). My son and I also own a 73 240z that is to far gone to fix up, and has become a parts car. My question is has anyone removed the front rear deck tool storage pockets from a later 240 to retrofit into a series 1 car, and if yes do you have pic's? The 71 needs some bodywork and most if the interior redone, it has a l28 so it is not a No. correct car and I am not sure if I am going to keep it totally correct with the rebuild, or make it comfortable to drive with PW PL and updated seats. Thanks Dave

Right now I am keeping my 240z stock for some while, but that isnt going to stop me from looking around at some V8 powerplants. [smile] I have mainly been looking at LS1 engines, but have not looked over at the 5.0L and 4.6L V8's from Ford that are found in the Mustangs. Can these engines fit in there without having to do any unnessicary work? They dont push as much power as the LS1 does, but it is still a lot of power for almost half the cost. Plus I am thinking with this, I might be able to find some aftermarket supercharger and for the same price as an LS1 and get even closer to 400hp. Plus I am thinking about front/rear weight ratio and if the Mustang engines might …

Completed my installation of a fuse block to replace the ageing fusible links. Used the same Mini ANL block that Mike W used in his 260, except purchased the 4 fused output block. One 80A ANL for the alternator feed back, and three 50A for the other circuits were the fuses I used. This model has 2 inputs so I will eventually run another cable from the unused port to a inexpensive 2 output small fuse block without the digital bling for the FI links. The display has 4 led's for the fuse status, and the system volts / current. The display cycles between volts & amps about every 10 seconds and shuts itself off in 90 seconds if there is no circui…

Hi everyone! Here's my new to me 73 240z. Just picked her up this past Thursday and can't wait to get her road worthy. I've been reading some great info here and my to do list is growing by the second. There's some light mods done that I'm not crazy about but they are minor and can be corrected. She's originally a silver car but the PO decided to paint her a burgundy color. Will post more pics later Cheers.

I've been developing this '71 Z for about 5 years. It is a track day only car that has so many modifications, it will never be a stock car again. A few weeks ago, I blew my Rebello motor and now I think it may be time to hang it up. My question is whether or not to sell it as is or part it out, or what to do. As you can imagine, this car has lots of dollars invested that I know I would never get out, but someone looking for a great track day car would be able to get it fully developed, at a steal. Have not set a price yet, I'm still in mourning.
