Thanks for the lesson. I'm guessing you didn't read the link I posted?

I have a stock, 3/71 240Z rear diff for sale. I never noticed excessive whining or anything. It's up for $50 but I imagine shipping to NL would be very expensive.

Interesting. You must have had just enough oil flow then...

Check HBZ, I believe that's happening soon.

I bet you had just enough oil flow and that the cam was a reground Nissan piece. CWC blanks are not nearly as durable.

Those look like August Feroce wheels, Toyota guys seem to like them.

Well either the plug evaporated or your valve-train's wear surfaces are very high quality and well matched!

Damn!

I don't think you have a very solid grasp of exhaust dynamics. FWIW: Exhaust Tube Sizing: I did your Arithmetic for you!! - Exhaust - HybridZ

Good luck. This should have happened 4 months ago.

How do your rockers look?

Nice job! How's that type-A 5-speed feel?

You're 10 years too late...

Fantastic!

I assume this is in response to my post? I don't know if I want to remove the flange because without it the diff is probably totally worthless. I don't know if I could give it away. I'll think about it...

I'm selling a complete early 240Z R180 diff for $50, FWIW...

I'm not well-versed in ZX differences but seems like the sumps changed at some point, later in the model run.

He measured wire resistance and found it in spec, as far as he said. Only other thing I'd do is run the car in the dark and see if there is any arcing wire-to-wire. Checking the coil per the FSM is a good idea...

Ok. Saying that "cams '70 through '83 are the same except the turbo" doesn't convey that very well...

Sounds like Jeff's F54 was a turbo block. They had slightly different sump and oil pick-up locations. Learned this from a buddy doing an F54 stroker...

Not true, each model had a unique cam profile (although some 240Z and 280Z profiles may be similar).

I'd be interested in seeing the impeller blades. Never seen a casting like that before.

Digging this up because of the very useful info in this thread. I was looking for .080" 7075 shim stock and the link in post #1 is perfect, just ordered some. Cost me just over $30 shipped for a 12"X12" sheet.

All 260Zs came with 3-wire, voltage-triggered tachs (with a 7k RPM redline).

I think this is the most logical idea at this point...
