I did some searching and I'm still unclear... Will a early 260-Z front bumper fit on a '73 240-Z? they look very similar and Black Dragon has new 260-Z fronts for $149. I know the '73 240 had the beginings of the 5mph bumpers and it looks like the early 260 used the same bumper. Has anyone tried? Will it fit? Thanks

i got my hands on an l28et for really cheap. the catch is that it didn't come with the ecu, distributor, starter, alternator, fuel pump, and tranny. is there anything i can use from my l24 to get the l28 up and running?

Hey all! Been out of the hobby for a while, since my son was born. I feel like a bonehead for asking the most common knowledge question, but which casting is the 260z intake manifold? I have a few intake/carb combinations from different cars, but I forgot which is which. Thanks, and try not to be cruel!

:classic: :squareeye While I was getting ready to swap out my auto trans for a manual in my 260Z I did alot of reading first. Both here and in ZCAR.com If it were'nt for these two sites I am sure I would of wasted a lot of time and money. Anyway, while I was reading about this swapI ran across the "pesky spacer" on the rear of the crankshaft. Had I not known about that ahead of time I would of surely tried to install the manual and pulled out what little hair I have left. What I didn't find was any photos of this spacer. Sooooo here are some pics of it in place and off the crank. I hope this helps someone in the future. Again thanks to all who have posted and m…

I bought my '73 240Z intending to restore it and be happy with it. A bit of nastalga and an every other day driver. I put my efforts into upgrading the suspension and handling. A daily driver should ride good... and I put a bit of money into it. Then I started thinking about how I would miss the horsepower. Handling is great, but hp is better. So I started looking at the upgrades available for stock 240Z's. I was thinking in the + tens of horse power upgrades. I started thinking about the cost of the "+tens" and it just didnt make sence. Sooooo, I started thinking in hundreds of horse power. I looked at V8 conversions, Skyline engines, and the ol' tried and true…

Hi all, I have an interesting question for the experts on this site especially jmortenson. I found an 86 200SX 4 cyl N/A at the JY and removed the KR180 diify. Upon removing the rear cover I found the numbers 37.9 stamped on the ring gear. This indicates that it is a 4:11 which is what I want to put in my car, a '73 with an 81-83 5-spd. I will take the buttons from the spider gears from my R180 3:36 and put them into the 4:11 thereby utilizing my half-shafts and stubs. Thank you, jmortenson for the diffy sticky on hybridz. Now here is the intersting part. I also removed the speedo cog (which was in an aluminum housing) from the 5-spd in the 200SX and here is what I fou…

So I just installed My new SFI-Spec Racing Damper, 70-83 Z/ZX from The Z Store and come to find out the timing marks don't align with the indicator on the engine. The indicator is bolted to the engine block at 2:00 relitive to the damper and the timing marks are over at 11:00 or so when I go to time the engine. I think the removable indicater on the engine is on the correct side and I do believe all is correct with any other bits having to do with timming. Although I will probebly never find an end to the creative changes past owners have done to this car. I debated moving the indicator over to the 2:00 position if no other solution is provided. I think the 510's indicat…

I have a 1982 280ZX with an automatic trans. I'm pulling 3500rpms just going 65mph so I want to upgrade to another automatic trans with a different gear ratio but I'm not sure what will mount up to this car. I want better performance and gas mileage!!! So if anyone knows or has tried this please let me know!
