hey guys i was on the net last night i found a full set of pulleys for my z they are 299 shipped though so im gonna wait till i get my header, and flywheel and someother before i getthe pulleys

hell yea dude hwats all gonna be there ill bring my friend also he has a 300zx 84' will they have things for z's fpr sale there?

im just curious if they make pulley kits for 71 240z's and if they do who makes them and where can i get them?.... stock pulley are like this small . when after market ones are this big O. i know that unorthadox makes pulley kits for cars for 79-120 but i dunno if they make them for datsuns....

HEY ALL WHAT 5 SPEED TRANNY CAN I GET FOR MY 71 240Z? JUST CURIOUS? OR CAN I GET ONE? if not which engine can i get that has one and also that will be able to have 40mm tripple dell orto carbs on it? cuz im buying the from zemfly on the forums

hey everyone i graduate from highschool this thursday:) and for my grad present from my uncle hees getting me full sawy bar kits:) my other uncle is getting me the msd ignition kit i wanted.... even the 10mm conducter wires and the blaster coil

HEY ALL im looking for people with 240z's in the bay area like .... hayward, sanlorenzo,san leandro,castrovalley, fremont, oakland.... i just want to see whos around me with z cars. mabe we could get info from eachother like where good deals are for different parts and such

thnx 4 the info dude

has anybody here had thier engine sent in for a balance job.... ive been told it gains about 15 hp because its lighter,faster, and the engine doesnt work against itself costing you hp (the 15). this can also gain you hp easy-er with other high performance parts on your car as well. just because the fact that everything will be les restrictive on the engine. also this if done properly will add life to an engine.... correct me if im wrong on anyof this .. and do you all think its worth paying for?

how much should i bore over my cylinders for my triple dellortos ill be getting soon they are 40 mm carbs i can get the borejob done for free but i dunno how much over i should go

hey i wanna buy the carbs but do they have all nessesary mounting parts for it and the intake for it so i can just bolt it right onto my engine and start getting it in-tune? if so ill take them along with the gas tank and which way would you like to be paid?

which rear end and cam then ? which would be best to get? and i should change the gearing in the rear end?

yes im also going to get a apexi N1 6-2-1 HEADER/ lightened flywheel/ msd ignition full kit with 10mm cable lines. and k&n filters all around. with an electric fan kit .

i have a job teaching drafting hehe and im only 17:) anyways thats part time 18 dollars an hour. and thats for the car over all only and im looking for another regular job for everyday stuff

are these carbs good for a 71 datsun 240z because i want extremley good performance and are they even meant for 240z's dell ortos 40mm carbs? i saw they had them for motorcycles

hey all somewhere else theres a post sorta like this one but this is newer anyways..... lets say hypatheticly speaking i had 4600 dollars and a 71 240z in diar need of restoration. my friend and his dad are both mechanics and his uncle is a machinest who can bore my engine for free. the car needs as far as mechanicly speaking ....everything. what i want to do is as i build this car with the money i have replace the old parts with new or rebuilt high performance parts..... i want a posi rear-end so which rear end whould you recomend for my z? also i want a new tranny 5 speed, my friend can rebuild an engine for me for free. also is there any where that they sell piston,cam..etc kits for my l-24 engine so i can possibly got to a 2.8L or 3.1L? like kits where all i need to do is install everything and then it will run. also my friend and i are good friends and he will be teaching me as we go along sso i know this car inside and out:) cuz i dont wanna be like one of those rich guys who just throws money away cuz well im not rich:). also where can i get all new... fuel equipment/electricalharness/ignition...etc... also i want an electronic choke because i dont really like the manual choke lever that much . right now im probably gonna buy triple carbs from a guy on these forums as well as a gas tank from him. i gtg so ill repost the rest of this thread later all bye and thnx for all the help with PROJECT "Z"

which triple carb setup will be best for me?..... i plan on driveing this car everyday/mountainracing/streetracing/ and eventually race the z against my teachers turbo 5.0 mustang at laguna seca (not to faaaaaar from me)...

which engine would be best for my 71 240z though they had a long list of l28 engines and i didnt see anythat were turbo

im on my way out the door but does anybody know where i can get a l28t engine for my car? so i can do the turbo conversion... also umm just a quick question can the l28t handle a T4 garret turbo?

hey all im finally back on the forums but i need a question answered. i want to make my 71 240z a turbo z which engine can i swap so it will be turbo also do anyof you have one for sale or know anybody with what i need to do this for sale cuz i wanna buy the engine and put it in and drive i know its not that simple though... can i put a 280zx turbo engine in the 71' 240z ? without problems plz let me know because i needto know this asap because i had a chane to buy one and the guy sold it because i told him i couldnt use it after a friend told me it wasnt possible . also i cant ge ta v-8 because my uncle wont let me since this is my 1st car. also i want turbo and i want this car to have some balls . also which 5 speed tranny is best for this particular situation im in and alsowhats the compresion i should run and how much do you all think to get what i want to work ...? i got 4800 but dont know where to start in terms of making the car turbo and swaping the engine.

hey all i do need help but with finding performance parts for my z its a 71' 240z who makes good header,downpipes and exaust also who makes good clutches(triple plated stage 3) and lightened flywheels? ive heard that you can put a 300zx 5speed turbo tranny on the z. and that they are better then a regular tranny because they are really beefy
