Zpeed

my best peice of advice to you would be this as you are a uni student like me, my best advice would be to cut ur loses with this car, if you going to get someone else to do it, its going to cost you in excess of 5g, because they have the to replace both frame rails, and to the extent i can see there being a heap more rust that you havn't even seen yet. best thing to do would be to try and find a good frame that you can swap ur stuff over to... it will take you a while to find a good body... but it could be possible worth it, its a option

here i got a jap spec 2+2 with a G-nose, i'm not sure what year it is... and don't remember where i got it from to find out...

225s fit fine... to fit bigger, you need a nice coil over setup, so that the struts are thinner, and therefore leaving you more room to fit bigger rims.. also the japs do it, by, putting the ZG flares on the car, and get some mega deep dish rims, which looks crayz, if you want to get more traction, but want 215 wide tyres, get good quality tyres, like semi comps, such as falken azenis

damn that sounds like a nice ride... i live in melbourne and always go for drives down great ocean road without a hicup, only hicup is having to look for a petrol station i feel isn't dodgy with there fuel... love the whindy mountain roads, but hate getting stuck behind slow cars

yer the europe one sounds sucky.. likely we (australia) get just about the same car as japan do... about the 30k aus on a z, would be, 10g buying a good 240z, 10k buy a wreck with 6spd, cost around 5k to get the motor in, and approriate mods, Ie upgraded computer possible... 3k get a good suspension setup, coil overs, and 2k on a good brake setup. possibly just using the brembos from the 350z wreck... that be around 30-35g or so... and ud have a sweet old 350z.. haha... and still have a new reliable motor id say it would be hard to get a 350z wreck, thats why i said price tag of 10g for the wrecked car/front cut possible

i found the problem, it was the wheel bearings, its all good now, bought some new ones and its fixed

I'm currently looking at buying this sweet fairlady roadster that i have my eye on, and am going to swap a black SR20det into it, boost to aroud 15psi, with cooler and exhaust, and all i will be getting is wheel spin... so hopefully i'll have that finished by the end of the year, but with school and work its going to be hard... will post pics of the fairlady when i go to look at the car tommorrow, already looked at the car, no rust, perfect interoir, crap engine, perfect swap donor

theres plenty of gear oil in the diff, as i changed the diff around 2 months ago, and put new oil in it, and it has no leaks etc etc any help, even if you think something is stupid. let me hear it, i will recheck all the mounting bolts in the morning to see 100% that they are 100%, but i checked twice last time i did them, and they were pretty damn tight also

hey went for a long drive today, and this noise in the rear got sudenly louder... it used to be tame and quiet but it suddenly got louder and now its to loud to ignore... its a deh deh deh deh noise, only when in motion, and its the same speed as the rotation of the wheels etc coming from the rear area, it could be possible wheel bearings, but its more coming from the middle, and i'm pretty sure it isn't the differantial due to having the same noise, when i had my old 3.7 ratio diff in there, now i have a 3.9... i beleive my diffearntial mount is broken but can't see how it is causing such a noise, i've orderd one from nissan, i can't see any u-joints that are broken, with the movement or anything, my moustache bar is perfect, all bolts are tight, i've got slight movement in my main driveshaft, but i thought that was normal... i really need to get this fixed, as the noise has got louder i can feel the noise now also... as i changed my diff, i know all the bolts are tight, and nothing that i could see was damage, except for the differantial mount, i'm getting one on tuesday, and hopefully its that, but is there anything else that would cause such a loud repeating, deh deh deh deh deh noise at the speed of the rotating wheels, and also my tyres are good pressure.. i think theres something small i have overlooked or something like that... please help,

thanks for that i remember on my points distributer that i had before, i glued that little peice together and that worked very well... but i'll see what i can do with this one... as this one is non points maybe i can use parts from my points dizzy but i will see... has anyone got the part number from nissan for that little part...

Hi for the last couple of weeks, my Z has had a few hikups, like it coughs and stutters at low revs, but i thought this was because my carbs were stuffed, and i have to top them up with some oil... but i opened up my distributer cap today, and saw a little ball bearing that was not held by anything... i remember the guy i bought it from showed me a stuff one and the little ball bearings were flying around the place.. so i am just asking what i should do.. the car still runs, just when it is cold it coughs a bit, but thats what i really think is the carb tuning, as my carbs are stuffed i need to tune them weekly for them to stay alive etc... its a l26 with 240z carbs, and a 79 electronic distributer if anyone can help me out with what i should do... i don't really want to spend any money on the car as i want to sell it soon, for a fairlady but if i gotta spend i will...

heres another

i got a few more pictures of them, but cbb putting them up... damn crayz things.. imagine one with a Rb26dett... wat a sleeper

make car straight and Paint car restore the interoir eventually fit lowred springs, and remove resonator from exhaust take car to nationals.... fit turbo engine

where are you located, differant parts of the world have diffearnt prices for the nifty 240z

what kind of work did you want to get done etc, just a rebuild, pistons, rings etc. or head work, porting polishing, shaved head etc.. i got mine done at a place in brunswick, that does supurb work, and do performance engines, i've had in my family over 5 engines done at this place, so i trust them, and they do quality work at an ok price i guess... but i didn't shop around i went straight to him.. its on mt alanxadra road, in brunswick, opposite the mitsubushi place.. this place also does modding work.. i got my whole engine done for 1800, and that was just the parts, and machining, i put the engine back together, but i've done 20k VERY VERY hard, and it hasn't lost a beat, but up to you with where you want to go

i can see handling improving, the silvia engine is all alloy, and will weigh alot less than a Inline 6,

the holden monaro with the LS1 with the T56 is going to be the GTO... i'm not sure about what the sedan commodore will be called in the us, but that version i don't think will be going there untill 2005 or so, and then it will be a diffearnt looking car anyway.

yer i an't doing the painting, getting a pro to do that

I'm doing exactly what Nick F said in mid december..

mattters what u want, if u just want a simple respray, between 2000-5000, depending on the preperation you want, and the qaulity, 5000, is something that is very nice, but not supurp, i know a friend that is getting full bare metal respray, for around 8g, but it will come out better than original for most people they just want to save some cash and by the 5000, one, but i bought a 76 for 2g and spent some cash on it, just about to start pulling it down for a respray, and some rust repair, but this way i know that i will have it done properly, and it will be the way i want it. You don't want to spend 5g on a nice Z, then to give it 6months and see some rust coming though the paint etc.. so take a good look at the 5g one, and make sure it is worth the money

that car u see, is from japan, i've seen that pic at a japanese drag racing site,

don't know about about the problem, maybe the exhaust pipes (headers) are getting to close to the starter and heating it up alot possible... but main reason of me posting this, was for you to check out www.hybridz.org they specialise in V8 Z's, not sure if you would have check that site out yet or not

gavin, i think its turbo time... build that L28turbo hehe.. the blue smoke is what HATZ said, to bad your engine still is pretty strong, i wouldn't worry about it unless u got the cash to fix it, around 300 or so, if its pretty simple to do thou, just gotta take the head off and give it to a machine shop, then u gotta put it back on, but when u got the head off might as well do the rings, and get new bearings, timing chain, get a larger cam ,port and polish the head, and while ur at it, get tripple's hehe... if you need any help, call me, i've done a few engines, including my L6 so i've got some experiance.. have fun... hehe..

www.zcarclub.com.au i think thats wat it is supposed to be, but theres no info there is toowomba in QL or NSW...
