exhaust question
F-54 setup in not on a 71. Weight reduction over the stock setup includes removal of the smog pump and all related hardware. HP increases come on the top of the powerband, from both the increased flow dynamics of equal tract length tubing and less drag on the crank.

exhaust question
The biggest thing you gain with a header over the stock manifold is weight. Headers are mild steel, stock manifolds are Cast Iron. I prefer a good equal length tube 1 5/8 in primary header, 2.5 in mandrel bent pipe and a Borla. Thats what I have run on all of my Z's. And when it comes to headers, you get what you pay for. Clifford, Nismo, or Stahl all build quality headers. The 6-1 header from MSA is not bad with some modification. And Jet Hot coating is worth its weight in Gold.

What makes you drive craZy?
I would not say that I drive crazy but my wife says I drive like the French. You know....bumper to bumper at 70mph. I do love to drift, but with the suspension mods and fat meats under the car it is becoming more difficult to do. And speaking of bumper stickers.....there was one that just made me completely crack up. It was one of many on a very old VW Bus. It read: "Don't Laugh, Your Daughter Might Be In Here":devious: :devious: :devious:

Spark Plugs --NGK, yeah?
For a relatively stock 240-Z: NGK BP6ES For a 240-Z with electronic ignition MSD etc: NGK BP6ES-11 And always use NGK wires

Intake Manifolds.
In 1972 Nissan engineers were working hard to "fix" the flow problems of the original intake manifold. See problem was that you had a short radius curve to cyl 2 & 5. Thus was born the N-33 manifold which was used on the 1973 240. It had a much improved total airflow capability as well as being much more even accross all cyl. The N-36 intake is essentially the same as the N-33 and was used on all 260's. Ever wonder why when you pull your plugs they are not burning even. In fact I will wager that cyl 1,3,4,&6 all look alike and 2 & 5 look alike but different than the others. Put the N-36 on the car, You WILL increase HP (maybe 2-3) but you will also get a more effecient burn pattern on the spark plugs.

Strut bars...
I have used both front and rear stut bars on all of my Z's and would recomend them to anyone who "drives" their Z. Unfortunatly with my new camber plates I will have to come up with a new set of strut bars. If anyone is interested, I have a set of MSA 240Z strut tie bars (F/R). They list at around 130 ea new, and they were only on my car for a few months. If anyone is interested in them let me know. I could part with them for about half the cost of a new set.

Alternator Choices
Since you are in LA...I would just go down to my local AutoZone etc and buy a re-man 60amp. They usually come with a lifetime warranty. Did the same thing in 97 with my 72 up in Seattle. I must have gone thru 3 of them before I got a "good" one but I did not pay any shipping and the price was very right
