Hi all, Who's had an engine done recently? I'm trying to get a feel for a price to rebuild a stock L28. At the moment, I am staring at an invoice from ATK for $1,695 plus a $195 core. Back when I had my L24 rebuilt (in 1989), it cost me around $1,500. So, this might not be such a bad deal. What do you have into your engine rebuild? -- Mike

I moved this to the engine forum. It doesn't qualify for front page news.

Whoa!! Store coming back ASAP!!! No, really, we got into a tizzy about copyright with the people who did all of the production for us. They didn't like me using the 240z because it is copyright by Nissan. But, I'm going to start up the store again when I get some time to make designs and such. But, if your GF really wants to model for our club, I'll be happy to get a thong made as soon as possible. We do need a club model. She interested? I'm sure we can start off with a few hats. -- Mike

I just moved this thread to the PDX forum.

Yea, I'm up for a Z meeting in Portland somewhere. Just let me know! -- Mike

Also, try the links area. I am waiting for a rebuilt engine from ATK Engines at the moment. They should have a few more within the next month. Cost is around $1,800. [m]

Hmm... I'm 33, 0 kids, 0 wives, 0 girlfriends, 2 parrots, a '71 under restoration, a '75 parts car, 1 crotch rocket, and a house renovation project.

Hmm, yea I see what you mean. He must have just done a few changes and added text. Sorry for the mixup.... Nonetheless, both images look great and I give credit to BOTH of you. Feel free to contribute more works of art. I'd be glad to feature them on the main page. And, remember this site is free, so we aren't making money on your artwork. It's just there for other Z fanatics to enjoy! Thanks again.

Yea, I just noticed that today!! Awesome job noticing the details Keith!!

What are you talking about? The girls? That was a piece sent to us by our artist. Not to mention, the club is free (we don't charge for it). -- M

Excellent!! I actually considered putting a Skyline twin turbo in my Z. But, at this point I'll be happy to get it going again. [m]

This came through the mailing list. It should be posted here for someone who may need it.

Victor, what year did you replace? I'm thinking about doing this very same thing. Was it a simple plug-and-play install?

It's an easy job. Just disconnect the vacuum hose, electronics, and then the two bolts holding it in place down by the engine. I think they are 10 or 12mm bolts. You shouldn't have to mark it because the connection to the engine has an offset slot that makes it impossible to put it in backward. There is probably a gasket between the distributor and the mount-point on the engine, so, you might need to tap it from side-to-side to get it to break free.

And more...

These are great.

Just wondering what some of you consider your favorite part of the club site? I really like the random Zcars page. Every time I want a short burst of random Z's from our gallery, I just open that page and hit refresh every time I want more.

Salem isn't that far away....

Do the later 260z and 280z door seals fit the 240z? They are better design.

Ok, thanks for the explaination, Camo. I did get some feedback from the mailing list. Kmack sent this:

What do you mean one piece all the way around?
