Should I replace all the fuel tank hoses while I swap the gas tanks? Even if the hoses are still in good shape?

Question: What is the difference between the webbed ZX FI intake and the unwebbed 280 intake? Is the webbed one square port because the P90 is? If this is true, is the intake that came off 75-76 N42's also square? I have not seen a webbed intake on 75-76's, so does that mean there are three different N/A FI intake mani's? or 4? (square for n42, then round for n47, still round for P79 and then square again for P90?) steve77

Hi everyone, im new to this site and i REALLY dont know much about the 240 engine ( or even what its called, like z31 or L28 but i intend to read the tech info like crazy ) Right now im really looking at restoring an early 240Z, now my original intention was going to be dropping a 280zxT motor into the restored body of the car. Now, my question is this...is it possible to turbo charge the engine of the 240? insted of putting a new engine in? If it is possible has anyone done it? what are the costs and what procedures must you go through to do it? thanks alot everyone Matt

This is mostly fluff and not meant to be taken seriously. So my wife said I should do something to make my Z stand out. I assurred her it did this already and in fact I often catch people checking me out. In all likelihood they are checking the CAR out but I digress. She mentioned that it needed a backseat in order to carry the baby in it. She wanted to be able to go see a movie in it so making it into a convertable would be nice. She like a few, if not all the styling options in Mororsports latest catalog and wanted to add a few fins. She stated the headlights were not very visable and thought there should be another set of lights up front. Lastly she thought it would …

I've read extensively on this subject and I understand from the Z Garage that when installing an R200 into a 240 you need to replace the drive shaft with one from a 280Z. As 280Z's were not available here in Australia (we continued with 260's for a few years and went straight to the 280ZX) can any one advise how to get around this. Would a late Australian 260Z have the parts I need? Nigel Mulvey Pristine Original 1974 260Z 2+2 (Daily Driver) 240Z Project Car (Proposed)

Is it possible or not to switch the steering wheeel in my 76 280z for a wooden one from a 240. I've seen several on sale on ebay and I really like the look of the wood. Just want to know if will work. Some may consider this taboo. Thanks!

I have a 72 with a three speed auto. Now i only bought it because it was a steal and in really good west coast condition. I had planned to convert to a later model 5 speed and 3.90 rear end. However since i am spending much of my allowance on all new urethane, shocks, struts and so on i'm thinking of leaving this one auto( i'm going to buy a second 240 with manual after i move) and using it as a street drag racer to kill my mortal enemy the Honda Civic. So can i use a later model auto trans with a better rear end to give me more off the line torque. Also is there a good after market race shifter that can be mounted to the 240 center console (and trans) with out too much t…

i have a 78 280, and am interested in installing one of the diamond pattern vinyl interiors from the old 240s. i've always liked this pattern, not to mention that the guy who owned my Z before me did a shitty job of attempting to recarpet the interior. should these vinyl patterns fit in my car ? i know that alot of the old 240/260/280 parts are pretty much interchangable. just want to make sure that the vinyl will work before i remove a set from a 240, tear my car apart, and try to install in mine. thanx for the advice.

Picked up an ITS 240Z. Interested in converting to EP within SCCA regs. Rules allow ZX vented brakes on front and disc brakes for the back with rotors that are no larger than the front rotors made from ferrous material. Anybody swapped out the ZX front brakes on the front? What all is involved? How about options for the back. TIA
