thanks Ed.... appreciate the help... mellow:cheeky:

people this is the car you are helping get fixed http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=8885 thanks, mellow

the thanks Mr Camouflage, i need all this so my mecanic can finish my car, its an 82' 280ZX ill try & post a picture up for ya..... ive never driven it yet, so it should be really cool, how would a L28 injected compare to and L26 with twin flat tops? They are both auto's, my 260z 2+2 is the only zed ive driven so far, i hope the 280ZX will go as well.... anyone else know the rest? thanks, mellow:dead:

i also have this disease, i started off as a 260z fan... so i got a 2+2, then another and now i just got my 280ZX which i am having the engine rebuilt at the moment... but still my dream car the 240z hasnt come along yet.... this Z fever $^!# is taking over my mind & unfortunitly my wallet aswell:cry: mellow

Hey Zedheads! i need a few stats for an L28 injected engine... what i need are Torque settings for: *Big end bearings *Mains *Head bolts also i need measurements for: *Ring end gap *Bearing to journal clearance thanks once again, mellow:dead:

Hey zlovers!!!!!!!!!! ok ive been thinking of puitting an RB26 into my 260z.... question is what mods will need to be made, to the engine, mounting brackets & everything else...... around what would this cost me to get done, with a 5 speed box put in at the same time?!?! im in south ozzy btw... now this is all legal if im correct, but can i replace my engine with a turbo engine? (RB26 DETT has my attention) or will this need compiancing or any other tests or anything???? also im assuming that my genie 6-2-1 headers wont fit an rb26?!?! or am i worng there? any other suggestions and comments would be appreciated.... thanks, mellow:stupid:

yes inline6 i have also noticed that people have split into two main groups here, both sounding great i bet :classic: i havent yet got Gavs to work either, would really love to hear i tho! no i have no idea what scavinging is.... can anyone help me out there? thanks again, Cris:dead:

youch, well i dont think ill be buying a 240z set of carbs... ill see how theese britt ones go... i know the britt carbs work (they ran my old motor) but how good is the thing, well i spose ill try & get my new motor running & get the carbs tuned up & see how it goes from there. thanks all, Cris:dead:

Hey beandip, so a length of smaller pipe in there would give me more low end stick or a better sound or what? i thought that the hotdog creates back pressue but like i have said im new to most of this... cris:dead:

hey all, ok right on top of the little fuel wells it has Brittish SU Carburettor company writeen on there (or something along those lines) it also has the 3 screws... Also i have no idea how to adjust the floats and the carbys are now in my car.... the numbers on the inlet manifolds are N36 (water cooled) and the head is an E88... @ raman, so if i chose to put an RB26 engine in my 260 that wont have to go through regency??? that would be cool but id really like to stick with the original engine for now... my emails also mellowoutandplaysomehackey@hotmail.com if anyone has any info to help me that would be great! so the jap carbs are a better than the brittish?!?! whats a decent seccond hand set worth??? i dont have much money as im only a young kid (17) and this is my first car and i pretty much spent most of my money on a new engine for it... so if theres any cheap options i would also like to hear them... but i dont want to comprimise performance really thanks for your help everyone! Cris:dead:

Hey, this is what ive found, i have genie 6-2-1 headers on my 260... if your going to put one a 2 1/2 pipe and a turbo exhaust i suggest getting the headers also, if not for the extra bit of power for the sound atleast, your 2 1/2 pipe will sound much better with the headers! sorry im also a carby man too tho mellow

cheers Victor Laury, my 260z is my first car (my dad convinced me to get it) and i love it, ive been trying to read up a bit on it.... and ive been doing it up a bit of corse.... mine has a nice jap sounding idle but then when i stomp it i have a sweet rumble!!! take care all, mellow:dead:

Hey Sammy, thanks for helping out once again... anything you do find out about the upgrade i would like to hear, as i would also love a turbo :cheeky: one question.... the roundtops in my gallery, are they 240z carbys or not. sorry im rather new to all this.... If you could scan the setup sheet and email it to me, that would help alot. thanking you once again, Cris

im pretty sure i have a couple spare form my 260 2+2 parts car... i assume there the same, they look the same! give us a pm, if ya still after one.... mellow:dead:

ok this is my first car and i dont know alot about all the names of parts etc....... but ill give it a go..... i have the twin SU roundtops in an E88 head (stock) that goes into the genie extractors....then to a 2 1/2 inch pipe for about 1-2 feet then into a hotdog and out in a 2inch pipe then at the rear end of the line it goes into a flare back upto 2 1/2 then into my dump pipe (turbo type muffler big chrome one ) i dont consider this an ideal setup but its still pretty loud :classic: i would like to one day change it to 2 1/2 all the way through for a bit more of a rumble, but what it has no seems to be doing ok, every time i drive down a street people look up and yell at me to bag it up (heh heh gotta love that) take care yall, mellow

yes from what i have heard you can put the same size engine or smaller in without all the trouble with compliance but if you put a bigger engine in i think you have to get your complience redone & your braking system upgraded, thats just form what i have heard tho not experience...... ps, can someone please tell me which carbys to use as i want to put them on soon. Cris:classic:

i apoligise im pretty new around here but could you please check my gallery for the pics... thankyou, Cris

Hey agian... @ Gav... yes both engines are L26's..... @sammy..... a L28ET wouldnt be bad.... dont you need to upgrade brakes & get your car complienced to put a bigger engine in it??? Sounds like alot of hassle to me.... my pics have come through ill try posting them up for ya's.... 659flat-tops2-thumb.jpg 659SU-carbs-thumb.jpg 659SU-carbs2-thumb.jpg

Cheers for the replys Gav & sammy. @ Gav - the engines i currently have are....both are #P30's which would make them L26 engines?!?! Im reading the links you posted up now, thanks alot for that! @ sammy, your from Adelaide, well im not in desperate need of parts now.... but once i have this new engine in my car i will be rebuilding the old one... or atleast attempting, i have a rolling shell (rusty bucket, ) that i can have the engine in while im doing it up but i will be needing a new water pump and radiator.... the radiator doenst need to be really good but it just needs to work so i can muck around with the engine.... i also need other bits which are uncommon, like a turbo kit, ram pods or high air flow pipes a nitrous kit wouldnt be bad either... i understand how uncommon these things are just thought it may be worth a go..... i also have pics of both sets of my carbys they are pending im not sure how long that takes but ill post them up when there done... thanks, mellow
