Zedrally

There has been much speculation on this for quite a long period now. Everone has assumed it has been sold, perhaps it hasn't as there was never any pressure on the owners to sell. Consider the possibility that it's just been withdrawn from public view by the Corbett's to end any speculation on it's possible future. My informed bet is that it's still sitting in a garage somewhere in the Dandenongs whatching time go by!

Absolutely agree with you on the Oil filled damper. Can you reccomend a air one? MOM & Bar

No.

There is nothing wrong with a 2+2. I've got 2 and my partner loves driving the going one. Realisticly, the're great to get out for a weekend, plenty luggage space, auto/air etc makes a great weekend touring car. If you have a couple of kids then they won't be left out either. On the other hand if you want a fang either on a circuit or in the dirt then nothing can beat a 2 seater. Happy family, happy car. Get it MOM

No.

Sort of the opposite of my carbs, come to a stop and the revs go high (1100). I thought that was because of high float level?

My guess it's electrical. You don't exactly make it clear whether you did all these changes before the problem or whether the problem "just" appeared and you've started with the fuel filter [good idea]. My bet at this stage is points/capacitor. HIH

Can't recommend Koni's. Got them set up in my car and it's a total disarster. Each visit to the forest has cost me a re-build! They can be set up but I don't have the money to spend [blow] until someone gets it right. It's been suggested that 260z Struts are far superior to the standard 240 strut. I intend to try this setup next. Regretting doing the changeover in the first place as I'm over 2k out of pocket on this so called upgrade. If anyone has any further advice on how to set Koni's up for Dirt rallying, I'm all ears. HIH

Kyle, I 've got a feeling that this nut is meant to be staked once torqued up. I had a problem with my g/box in the late 70's with a similar problem, turned out that the stake had either worked loose or was never fitted! Cost me a new gearbox......bugger.....

Sorry, this doesn't come out on a cut & paste. If anyone wants the file e-mail me with your address.

Thought maybe something along these lines. This originates from an Excel Worksheet. Any idea where I can upload this to on this site so others can download and add to it? Year 1962? 1965? 69? 1969 Common Roadster 240Z 260Z Name 1500 2000 S-30 HS30 GRS30 S130 [don't know model #]

Well....I guess a start on paper would be at least a start. Anyone pasted a Excell sheet [.xls] or Publisher [.pub] file to the group or better still Mod Mike might be able to suggest how to host the tree, seperate file ???? Alan, why not start at the S series, general dates would be OK such as year, unless someone has better knowledge of a more exact build month. From there we can branch out to HS and HLS etc. Can we assume the roadsters are the trunk to the sports series? MOM

How about if we look at the small picture first and add to it? ie S and it's varients with an approx time as a basis for the Zed series. Possibly Kats could assist with correctly aimed questions? As far as I'm aware there where only 2 Roadster models, would I be right in assuming that these would be the trunk of the "sports" tree?

No argument from me, Where ther any cars of interest prior to the Roadsters?

Has anyone a family tree of the Datsun/Nissan Family, complete with time line?

Bugger, Just when I thought I had the oldest 240 # 103305. Anyone for any older than halz?

Hmmmm, I think you might be right Halz. 2wd is limited to 6Litres 4wd to 2Litres. I gather the 350 is 4wd and would be is FIA Group N?

Mick, If they did and brought it out here, it would end up as the Godzilla debacle one more time.

Huh! I knew you couldn't let that one pass....... Further proof of the RHD Theory..... MOM

Don't want to be a wet blanket Ash, but you've got buckleys chance of convincing the Historic Commission . Save youre money as many have thrown a lot away trying or if you really want to run triples in competition legally, then come over to Historic Rallying and run PRC. Cheers MOM [knighted iIke of the Mire, after the last bogging]!

Better still, get him to join this group!

Interesting that they would crash test a shell only? I would have thought a complete car [motor, gearbox etc] in the front end would give a better indication of how the unibody withstands a headon? Wonder at what speed the front folded in this pic?

I remember reading that the oil pump should be primed before fitting.

Double Blah from me as well. How the ZX can be equated to the 240/260/280 has me lost!

Under hard acceleration? Sounds more like pinging? Check timing or use a higher octane fuel.
