I have a simular ( f54,p90a) set up with mikuni's and a mallory distributor. I recall setting 37 degrees of advance at 3000 rpm +/- a degree or two.

this is one mans opinion: unless you have an unlimited budget, building a proper 3.1 liter z motor is not very practacle. The diesel crank must be really worked over to be light enough to out perform a nicely built up 2.9 liter motor. the diesel crank is very heavy and will rev slowly unless substantially lightened. As far as a head choice i would suggest a P-90a modified to solid lifters, the combustion chamber is a better design ( to eliminate detonation) and this head was used for the factory turbo offering, so if you are thinking turbo its probably a better choice.

i will mike, it's a very rare part...i have been told that there are only 6 torson gleasons in existence. All out of the neuman haas racing effort. Torson won't even admitt that they exist...or so i have heard...you scored my friend!

to install a fully automatic antenna you need a switched 12 volt constant output from the radio in the car. the factory 240z radio does not have this output. Therefore, the "switched" factory antenna is your best option. If you go to an aftermarket radio there will be an output for antenna (usually a blue wire) that will trigger a relay on a fully automatic antenna, but remember that you will have to do some additional modification to the wiring harness for a fully automatic antenna.

I just picked up a nissan competition rally transmission, fire system and ajustable front and rear swaybars, all for $300.00. life is good!..he has a torson gleason R-200 4.11 but doesn't want to sell it.....

z owners of northern california, known as ZONC. I believe they are listed in the phone book, and they do have a web site.

I have what you need, I have a perfect gas tank that I had completely gone through and re-done. I have decided to go to a fuel cell instead. you can have it for what i have spent to have it re-done. -the tank was disassembled, cleaned out, recoated inside and powder coated black on the outside. If you interested you can e-mail me at gcarter@sd.znet.com thanks, Ron
