I am ready to finish the exhaust system on my '72 240Z. The engine has some work done: .030" over bore, TRW flat top pistons, .020" milled off head face, 3 angle valve grind, '78 EFI and the electronic ignition, 6-2-1 ceramic coated aluminum header(exit of the Y pipe is 1&7/8". On the body I have a MSA ground effects kit ( front sides and rear). The trouble that I have run into is the exhaust exit cutout in the rear valance is about 6" closer to the center of the car than the stock position. I think it is the location of a 280Z, but not sure. The question I have is: Will the stock bend of a 280 pipe fit properly under a '72 240Z? I would like to buy it - have it shipped to my door - and install it, as apposed to having a shop costom bend the pipe for me. Any thoughts? - Jeff

Thats cool! - Jeff

Show me a picture --- I'll think about a price. K? - Jeff

I used a flat putty knife to scrape/lift the tarmat off of the floor. It came off easy - especialy where it was rusty under it. - Jeff

owenk - I understand why this will be your last post... I restect your decision to sell your Z and do some traveling.... BUT.. think of all the sleep you will NOT get!! When you finally collapse you will not even have the energy to dream!! - Jeff

To replace mine I needed only to pry the nylon ball off of the linkage...... 'greased' the new rubber with a finger full of grease & pulled the new one on over the nylon part.... It was quite a strech, but worked for me. - Jeff

7 & 1/2 months you say...... 7&1/2 YEARS with out driving mine!! But as you said......."damn those lines are sweeeeet!........" So I keep my head up and smile when I think ..... "It'll be great to have it done ---- done right. - Jeff

The bore and stroke are the differance ... the 240 has a shorter stroke and smaller bore diameter so it will rev up much faster than the 2.8L on the 280ZX. In my opinion ..... a well tuned set of SU's are equal in power and performance to a fuel injected engine. If you want the best of both worlds ( reliability & fast revs ) put the fuel injection on the 240 block. - Jeff

You took that apart....Again?? Wow that is nice looking!! - Jeff

I will never try it again without the clutch alignment tool!! $8 well spent - I have used it on 3 different cars now. - Jeff

Take the Yamaha out when ever possable and flogg on it!!! no, really, if you want the general public to turn thier heads... Modify it alot. If you want the Z lovers to respect,adore,& stare? keep it as stock as possable. MHO.. - Jeff

Shannon - A good set of metric wrenches.... For the trans job, 10mm thru 17mm in both box end/open end & 3/8 drive sockets with 3" & 6" extentions will remove & replace parts. ****** Amen Victor **** - Jeff

I installed a '78 N47 head/FI and electronic ignition on my 2.4L block - All things considered - it was easy. The wiring was completly adding to the existing. Made starting perfect! made for a very fast revving engine. I love what it did for me! - Jeff

Does not need one with that Verizon phone on himROFL

My guess is that the seats are not leather. Also as texasz posted about the PS,PB. Power brakes it does have ---- vaccuum assisted. - Jeff

Read my signature....... starts on the first piston to the top no matter the weather!! - Jeff

The only thing that I can think of that pumping the pedal would do would be giving it some more air during cranking. As Dtsnlvrs stated --- there is no accelerator pump on a pair of SUs. - Jeff

Oh .. by the way.. that connector is not a Quick disconect. That type is ment to be a perminent splice/tap in. - Jeff
