Just saw the trailer / teaser, on SPEED, for the 'My Classic Car' coverage of ZCON10 in Nashville. I was happily surprised to see my Z panned in the trailer. It will air on the SPEED Channel, Tuesday May 10, 2pm CST, and again on Sunday May 15, 9am CST. If there are any other times when it will air, please post them here. Bonzi Lon

S U carbs

Would SU carbs from a L24 be any good on a L20. How would they compare with a set of triples for performance, or would they be a waste of time. I have a 240 with SUs and it goes very well, so I assume they should flow enough air for an L20. Has anyone done this?

Best way to take on a restoration? 1 2

So I've finally got my Z in my hands and now I'm deciding on how exactly to do the restoration. I know a plan is key to doing a right job. The car was running in '03 however it then sat for eight years. It's in very good shape and I'm hoping once I go through replacing all the hoses and fluids and the likes it might just start up. I don't plan to do a "restoration" in the sense that I'll be restoring the car to it's factory state. I also do not plan on making it a completely modded car. I love the Z's for what they are but how I see it is, there's lot of mods you can do to improve performance while not spoiling the car's originality, and in one way improving performance i…

Atf? 1 2

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I always thought ATF was automatic tranny fluid... I'm about get a 77 280Z that's been sitting for 8 years so I have a lot of work to do before starting her up, now I keep hearing about pulling the spark plugs and pouring ATF in and letting it sit overnight then trying to hand crank it etc etc.. What is ATF referring to in this case? Because I would assume you would use a very light oil to do the aforementioned task. Thanks

240Z based 2000 GT replica

I looked on this site and didn't find anything else about this Toyota 2000 GT replica (but I'm sure there is stuff somewhere). Anyway, the 2000 GT was originally supposed to be built by Nissan, but got shopped to Toyota...only a few hundred were built. I personally think the Datsun is a better looking car anyway. Later, Alex http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/01/toyota-2000gt-replica-based-on-nissan.html

Here she is, 1973 240Z Coupe in new 901 white. Original interior replaced in its original red. Suspension has lots of BRE parts in it. BRE sways, possibly BRE springs. Camber adjustable. Nissan Comp headers, strut bar, LSD Differential. Kosei K-1 Racing wheels which I am not sure I will keep. I have always loved Panosports - want to trade? Engine is 2.4 with flat top pistons, E31 Garolomy head, triple Weber 42 DCOE carbs... So as Steve Parmley said, check out the Z Rated Porn!

Replacing the factory radio

Hi All, I'm having a real hard time finding a factory radio or getting my radio fixed for my 83ZX. I'm trying to keep the car as original as possible and begin taking it to shows. If I change my radio to a more modern unit and new face plate, does that decrease the value of the car from a collector and show standpoint? Thanks

Firing order, timing mark, rotor position, any ideas?

I dropped a new long block motor in the car, using my old petronics disti from 240z and dual down draft webers. It started, but backfired through the carb like an old school bus. It is clear that something was way off, I started fresh with the ignition timing/firing: - crank position is right on the TDC mark on pulley. - physical check of #1 piston (closest to radiator) is at TDC - I then set #1 spark plug wire to where rotor is pointing. - Went counter clockwise 153624 Car will not even fire now. I then rolled it back in the garage to give me time to think about it. Any thoughts? Ken
