i have a 71 240z i just insured my z after the long winter and went for a ride. it is still doing the same thing as last fall. the engine is buckling. its like the engine never warms up or something. it seems like the carb is messed up. any ideas. i cant enjoy her like this. boy she looks good thow.

i am putting a 83 zx turbo motor in my 71z. i would like to get headers or at least a new manifold. would a 83 fit my car? or would i have to get an older year header?

i am swapping a 280zx turbo motor into my 71 240z. the garage is going to open the 280 motor today. is there anything i should look out for, or ask questions about? is there any parts that i should get to make it run well or better? this is of course more performance parts that i am talking about. about 300 hp is what i am going for.

all i could do was hear it. any idea's on how to see it too?

it does not say what you would do 0 to 60. i dont know what the 1/4 mile mark is, so i dont know how to figure out the rest.

i dont have the car....i was thinking of buying a subaru impreza rs and i wanted to know how much slower it was then the wrx. i searched all the mags to see if anyone had tested one. all they tested were wrx's.

i know how much horsepower i have, and the weight of the car. so there somewhere i can go to fugure out how fast it would be aprox. to 0 to 60 mph?

i thought you ment the engine block. i was thinking the compression could not get around the block or something... i was trying to figure what the heck you were trying say

ok thats good to know. i think that it has the original head on it. and i am keeping the fi and turbo.

what do you mean get around the block?

where would a head like this come from?

does anyone have a idea, how long it would last?

i might be able to get a high compression e31 head. would it fit on my 83 turbo zx???

what happened to the corners on your hood?

that was great! it looked very fast. i cant wait till i fix mine up.

i have a 83 turbo zx. can i get a power chip for that?

i am so glad that we dont have any emmissions testing here. the only thing we have is red light cameras. i want to whip by in my z just to see what it can do.

i too think it looks real nice. As soon as you buy it you can sell your truck and then paint the z resale red.

i just gad my stereo stolen last night. i just put it in a couple of days ago. brand new. never see that again. i have had so many stolen. as soon as you have something nice someone steals it.

thanks a lot well i dont know so i guess i will have to wait

i have a 71 240 and i have a 5 speed that i want to put in. do i have to remove the exhaust to get it out? can i squeese it by? i have a leak in my header that i dont want to fix because i am changing motors in the winter. if i have to take it off i will have to get a whole new system that i wont need in a few months. am i stuck with the 4 spd until then?

i went for a ride in a 73 240z with a skyline motor in it. i seen it at the world of wheels show here in town. the guy has just got it going and i went by his place to get his 5 speed. he asjed if i wanted to go for a spin, and i said hell ya! wow is it fast. 343 horses at the wheel. with those twin turbos making all the noise, it was scaring everyone we raced by. now i can hardly wait till my 280zx turbo swap is done. if all goes well next summer.

well i know that i am late, but here goes. i live in winnipeg manitoba canada. i have a 71 240z, and a 83 turbozx, that i will use for switching motors. i install ceramic tile and i am now making enough money to be able to put money into a car that i have loved for a long time.
