My Datsun 240Z
Picked up the spare L24 today. Casting code 056069 Also for my Friends 67 chevelle project a rare corvette C2 427 high performance casting code GM 3904351 4 bolt main. We checked the head numbers these are from a later 427 but we can het the early high compression cast iron heads from the US that combo it would make stock 435 HP.

How can I unseize a wiper motor????
I can't tell exactly, never taken one apart, but it looks heavily corroded. Check the motor and gear.

My Datsun 240Z
Went back to that yunkyard today. Took some flashlights with us to do a proper search. Did not find the propshaft for the 5 speed yet but did found a low vin 240z complete engine with E88 head. Going to pick that up Offcourse... Not much L24 to be found here in europe. Also a Laurel L24 with E30 head I saw.

Bearings prob failed or something Fun thing in classics is you can take everything apart. Take the time to take it apart. It's an easy fix usually

My Datsun 240Z
Took it out of storage juli 2nd. Had been sitting since october... sadly weather remained bad that's why took it out so late. Handbrake cable replaced and a check up and some new engine oil. Ready to go.

Gauge lights not working, only some.. not all...
contact oxidation could also be. Just grab a multimeter and check for voltage and ground

Datsun ( Nissan ) Z and ZX types of transmissions and differentials
I bought a ( re-printed by now ) hayness manual. It does list the fs5c71a. I think there is a mistake of the differential ratio part they mixed up the 3.90 with the 3.36 on the four and five speed ? 5 speed should be 3.90

Datsun ( Nissan ) Z and ZX types of transmissions and differentials
So a carefull conclusion for now usa and canada did not get the r200 on the 260z, only on the 280z, but europe, uk, japan etc did ? Ow wise men, please correct me 😉

Datsun ( Nissan ) Z and ZX types of transmissions and differentials
Yes, that's why people can add information here, so I can change things. But I want to keep it in the 1st post, or else it will be a mess.

Thanks. I changed 280Z only to US and Canada market.

Thanks for the info. Well new things still come up to this day, so who knows...
-
Datsun ( Nissan ) Z and ZX types of transmissions and differentials
Yes.. that's what I want to prevent with the " confusion " part.. many Z's have been modded, and then the reactions are confusing because they think that R200 came stock on a 260z...
-
Datsun ( Nissan ) Z and ZX types of transmissions and differentials
Okay so the 280z also came with the R200. And maybe the R200 allready started with the 260z but we are not sure about that yet? @Zed Head i don't want to go by year etc this will make it to complicated. But only by z model and what can be found on them as a general guideline.

Datsun ( Nissan ) Z and ZX types of transmissions and differentials
Since there is still a lot of stuff about these not known exactly and many confusing topics, thousand of pages and myths, I will try here to make it easier. If anyone has additional information or something is not right, please post, then I will modify the 1 post. This is for stock factory transmissions only, NOT competition ones. There are A, B and C types transmissions ( C was never used in Z cars so I will not add these here ) Update 9/7-21 : Also the 4.11 ratio R180 was not used on Z cars ( correct me if I am wrong ) Also not sure if 3.90 was used in the USA on the 260/280Z and ZX So far I have: Nissan S30 Fairlady Z Japan till 1978: F4W71A manual F4W71B manual FS5C71A manual FS5C71B manual 3 speed automatic 3N71A 3 speed automatic 3N71B R180 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.36 / 3.54 / 3.90 240Z: Datsun 240Z USA and Canada F4W71A manual F4W71B manual 3 speed automatic 3N71A 3 speed automatic 3N71B R180 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.36 / 3.54 Datsun 240Z Europe, UK, rest of the world FS5C71A manual FS5C71B manual 3 speed automatic 3N71A 3 speed automatic 3N71B R180 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.54 / 3.90 260Z: Datsun 260Z USA and Canada F4W71B manual FS5W71B manual 3 speed automatic 3N71B R180 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.36 / 3.54 / 3.90 Datsun 260Z Europe, UK, rest of the world FS5C71B manual 3 speed automatic 3N71B R180/R200 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.54 / 3.90 280Z: Datsun 280Z USA and Canada F4W71B manual FS5W71B manual 3 speed automatic 3N71B R180/R200 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.36 / 3.54 / 3.70 / 3.90 ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- ----- 280ZX: Datsun 280ZX USA and Canada F4W71B manual FS5W71B manual 5 speed Borg Warner T5 3 speed automatic Jatco 3N71B R180/R200 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.36 / 3.54 / 3.90 Datsun 280ZX Europe,UK, rest of the world FS5W71B manual 5 speed Borg Warner T5 3 speed automatic Jatco 3N71B R180/R200 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.54 / 3.70 / 3.90 Nissan S130 Fairlady Z Japan: FS5W71B manual 5 speed Borg Warner T5 3 speed automatic Jatco 3N71B R180/R200 Differential, possible gear ratios available: 3.54 / 3.70 / 3.90

differential insulator early one
Okay guys. Im bumping this up. Another Datsun mystery to solve. I picked up a euro/jdm spec 3.90 r180 ( together with the rare a type 5 speed )and the insulator was on it to. It's in good shape rubber is not cracked. It looks like the later type but there is a slight difference in the looks. ( See picture page 1 from the later mount ). The numbers might say it's a later type but it's not the same as the US version? Euro type mount?

Need help 5 speed identification
Picked it up today including the 3.90 r180 ( counted it and it's around 4-1 so it's either a 4.11 or 3.90 ? Hè Will search for the driveshaft couldnt find it so quickly.
