Won’t be too hard to confirm that it’s real!

I don’t think I’d want to compete in the class (“Stock”) that this car will be in at Zcon this year. You may want to throw on a set of after market wheels and go “Street Modified”. Congrats on a perfect Z Rich. How does it feel to be “The Best in the World” in something? Guy

Thanks Blue...never was too good in history. It does look like a very restorable Series I though, and good shells are getting harder to find.
-
Looks like a solid Series I to me. A new dash is a great start to a really nice resto. Glad I have no garage space, but Steve, this one could be a nice resto for about 20M in addition to the 15M. IMO However it is missing that 2400 valve cover.

I didn’t know that you could take 2mm off of an N47 head. Are you sure you got valve clearance with an .080 cut?

I love this site!
-
3012 are the same as 3015.....according to an older thread. I’d love to have those two.
-
3015 or 3016 are the serial numbers for front and back.
-
Thanks Jim.....front or back....doesn’t matter.....just knock off the spacer on the rear.

I have a blown rear Tokico shock in my Ground Control sectioned coilovers. Problem is, Tokico shocks are no longer offered. I ordered a pair of Koni yellows for 240Z front ( front shocks are used in the rear of sectioned GC 240Z coilovers). The Konis are about 3/8 inches too tall and the gland nut won’t engage the threads in the top of the strut tube. If anyone has a Tokico strut laying around, or knows where I could find one, I would love to buy it. I can get by with one, but would like to replace both rears. Thanks Guy

I don’t recall bottoming out at any time. May be just a bad seal or something. The only way I found out, there was a rattling sound coming from the strut at low speeds. I’ve never blown a strut before, at least not that I knew of......I’ll replace both rears with Konis....don’t think Tokicos are available anywhere.No idea why it was blown. I would guess no more than 5000 miles.Pulled a blown shock out of my driver side rear coilover. Guess I’ll have to go back with Konis unless someone knows a Tokico source.
I went to Georgia Tech.....tried M.E., but when I got to Fluid Mech and Thermodynamics, I switched to Industrial Management. I needed to work on my selling skills ?I love your attention to detail Capt. Did you go to engineering school or just have the knack? That coming from me, who never even reads the instructions! ?Right Madkaw......I used Stage III Isky Cams in mine. .160 to .180 lash pads for that set up.Great illustration Site.....and I spent hours in Roanoke with the Z Doctor. He built all of my P79 heads....he’s the one that originally came up with the set up. It tricks a P79/P90 into stock chain configuration with a 10:1 c/r. As far as advancing the cam sprocket 4 degrees to make up for an .080 cut without shims Capt., I think if that worked, it would have been done that way. I think Jeff G figured out some offset bushing for the cam sprocket that eliminated shims for his race car. I miss Doc!
I would suggest as little as possible to clean the head up. I’ve heard .030 inches is about all you can cut without affecting the timing. Maybe someone else knows the exact number. .010 to .015 is where I would try to stop. GuyAbsolutely......and maybe a .040 overbore with new flat tops. Don’t stop there, go ahead and shave the P79 .080 and jack up the cam towers and valve springs using the early longer 280 swirl valves. Don’t forget to ship the old cam to Isky to make her a .490 lift stage III. It’s fun!.........did it ever work correctly for the previous owner, or did he replace the clutch with the wrong parts, then sold it because he couldn’t fix the slipping problem?- 27 replies

No Site..... all 240Z trannies and 280Z and ZX trannies are the exact same dimensions. All can use either a 240Z clutch or a 280Z clutch or in the case of a 240mm flywheel, they would use a 2 plus 2 clutch. The only thing that affects the collar, is which clutch you use. 240Z clutch.....use 240Z collar. 280Z clutch....use 280Z collar. 2plus2 clutch uses 2plus2 collar. I like to use 240Z clutches in all my Z’s except the ones with 240mm flywheel (2plus2 collar). That way, I keep everything simple. If you get a new clutch, just ask for the collar that fits that clutch. I would use Motorsports because you can talk to someone and make sure they ship you a 240Z clutch, 240Z collar and throw out bearing as a package. All throwout bearings are the same for all three clutches.- 27 replies

4 or 5 speed trannies are same dimension. Only thing that affects collar size is the clutch. 240Z clutch requires 240Z collar...280Z clutch requires 280Z collar. 240mm flywheel requires 2plus2 collar.- 27 replies
