Did you try Silvermine or Summit? Both show them listed for around $90.00. If you Google Tokico HP Datsun 240z, other vendors show them as well. May be leftover inventory. Are you sure they are discontinued? That would be a shame.....a great strut for the price! -
Steve.......Is that John driving Randy's car?

Thanks Zed Head......I'll go back to my knitting now.

Sounds to me like you've ordered the right collar.....unless they sent you the wrong clutch. I just installed a 240mm flywheel and an Exedy Stage I comp clutch. I used the 2+2/ turbo collar and she works like a dream (it'll really build up your left leg lol). It's easier to pull the tranny. When you get the new collar, use this test.....if the measurement comes out like in my drawing, you'll be good to go and you'll love the old girl once more.

My Z's run best at 17 degrees advance at 1000 rpm. Start the car up with the timing light and advance the timing until the engine runs the smoothest. Your problem may not be carbs at all......
-
I don't have a clue.....I'll leave that up to Eiji. I think he wants me to run SK's (OER's). My friend Woody Staub runs SK's with air cleaners.....I'll check with him to see what he runs in his race car.

I'll soon find out Mitch......hope you're right.
-
You bet....and no matter how many Z engines I build, I'm always amazed when they come to life......can't wait to put this motor to task!

Fired right up.....everything works perfect! The Excedy 240mm comp clutch is awesome.....put 20 miles on her, but it's raining, so It'll have to wait!

Jason.....I don't have a clue....I've never futzed with side draft carbs before....a totally new experience. I'll break it in with SU's then take it up north to my good friend Eiji......we'll install an electric fuel pump and some SK's (whatever he recommends)., then tune 'em! Then we'll head to Dinwiddie for a little head to head!!!!

Hi John.....CR is 10.7 to 1, so it should do fine on pump gas (93 octane in Virginia). I think I'll keep 50 gallons of race fuel just to mix 50/50.....couldn't hurt.
-
Yes I am Cliff....and as soon as I have 500 miles on her, she's gonna have some SK sidedrafts!
-
......and closer.
-
Finally got my son to give me a hand installing the 3.1......it'll be running soon!
-
72 Z.......but might help.
-
Saw a Georgia boy driving up I-20 just outside of Columbia a couple weeks ago towing a big smoker with a sign that read "You can smell our butts a mile away!".........pretty much says it all.
-
Wish I could do that with the side protectors on my 73, but it's all original paint and I'd have to repaint......a real no no on an original Z.
-
A really big improvement!
-
Wow.....Could be the nicest resto I've ever seen....congrats on a superb job!
-
NHC......He sourced it from a friend that had one that he had stowed away for some time. He let it go for $1200.00. Only had the one. Sorry
-
Great idea Lee.....can you spare one? I do need an antennae base.....doesn't have to work. I'll post pics of the resto.....this should be a fun project for Chuck....I'm going to use the early pillar 240Z......Series One is worth more than Series Two eh?
-
Just bought this from your site....I'm going to get my body guy to clean it up and paint to match my green car.....put a new emblem and a rear quarter window. It'll go in my office!
