Hey Guys, Just bought a beautiful v8 Z that i have question about. When i was driving home i stopped at the store (after about 15 minutes of driving hard). When I came out the car had power but would not start (had to push start it). The only thing that i could figure is that the starter got really hot and for some reason this kept the car from starting. Anyone ever heard of that? The reason i say this is because after i got home, I let the car cool down, she started right up several times since (only driven round the block a few times). Any clues out there? Anyway taking pictures soon, this is a georgous car can't wait to show it. Thanks.

I have very little reverse in my auto trans. I thought I read somewhere about a module going bad in the transmission that could cause this. I hate to have it rebuilt if this can fix it. And how would I know if this module is the problem?

i have a early 260z. I am thinking about swapping the bumpers for some early 240z bumpers. Has anyone done this conversion before? How much work would it be? Would it look good? I want to do this because my bumpers are small, but not as small as the 70-72 240's and I want to put the Nismo mesh grill off a fairlady Z on my car. Is there another way to be able to put that grill on without changing the bumpers? I would have to remove the bumper shock absorbers for sure. Any info would be great. Thanks so much, Ben

hey guys, this is my first post aside from the classified posts, and i have been doing a lot of reading on this board, hrbridz.org, and other sources i can find. i want to put an rb26dett into my 280z. Ive seen it done, and know its possible. ive figured out the wiring (stand alone fuel management), and the mounting (full R34 front clip), but what i cant seem to grasp is the concept of how i can make the 4WD drivetrain of the rb26 into a RWD drivetrain? i have found information stating that the rb26 with its transmission provied almost 100% of the engines power to the rear wheels during normal driving, but under full throttle or hard cornering, it becomes 50/50 front rea…

Thak God the search is over. I was out running around from bone yard to bone yard today part hunting and hit gold. I found a bunch of 260 and 280s along with a ton of ZX cars. But just on a hunch I saw a newer ford thunderbird and thought I would look under the hood. BAM the hunt for my drive line is over:devious: Turns out the car is a 1993 thunderbird SC with a 3.8 supercharged V-6 and five speed. The car had a big time front hit and will never be good for anything but parts. Knowing this I talked with the owner and we set the price. Lets just say under 1000 :cheeky: It is VERY VERY clean with 54,XXX miles on it. I have never thought about this motor till I saw it…

Hey Guys; Iam building a 72 with a small block Chevy and a 700R4. According to the JTR book the stock shifter and linkage will hook-up to the trans, and it does. The question, in the book it shows the shifter mounted to a piece of angle iron which is bolted to the trans, is this a inorder to prevent the trans from accidently shifting from torque or could the shifter be mounted to the floor??? How about using a cable shift, from a Camaro, mounted to the stock shifter . Thanks for the input in advance!! Peter

Hi All, This is my first forum entry, so I hope I'm doing it the right way. I am currently installing a RB20DET out of a R32 skyline half cut into a 1973 240Z. The sump/oil pick up modification will be initiated the next couple of days. I will document this and post photos to help others. I can't find any on the web for a reference. What is really needed is specific dimensions/photos showing the modification. Have you come across anything like that? I'm a little unsure how far back I should mount the engine gearbox. With un-modified front engine mounts, the tail shaft length is correct, but the gear stick sits about 70mm to far forward compared to stock. If I move it bac…
