Thanks for the help V12, I'll have to ask around and see if 5 lugs will be worth my time and money. (they sure as hell will up the kudos with the guys at work) Watanabe has a website right?

Thanks again Carl... sorry for the mixup. :bandit:

Try Victoria British. They have parts for all years. I will be getting some piston rings from them soon. Good luck

Has anyone seen this? http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=7065&password=&sort=7&thecat=500 I got this a long time ago and will have it in my car by winter. I would also like to know if this is right? Thanks

What is the difference between the two? I want 432 fender flares for sure, but there's a company that makes wide body panels that look pretty cool too. The rims in the sketch are Vision Hi-Revs. They were the closest thing I could get to 114.3 in Import Tuner magazine. How good do you think the 5-lug conversion is?

I will have to change it next month. I have already used my money on brakes, slave cylinder and gear oil. Did you say that the one man bleeder was $5? I'll have to get one of those, also. Thanks again Bambikiller240 :classic:

I was just on MSA's website, looking at some new parts. Came across the cylinders. Wanted to see how much they where selling their slave cylinders for. The post said to replace the Master Cylinder and the Slave at the same time. It is bothering me that I should have changed the Master also. It works just fine though. Do I have anything to worry about? Thanks

240Z with the 2.8 liter 280Z or ZX engine, P79 head, and SU carbs. Even though the engine is tired, she will still blow the doors off a Honda/ Acura.

Does anyone know if these come in 114.3?

Ft. Walton Beach, Baby! I know a guy who helps me a lot. His name is Mike. Would you like his number/ fax?

Well, I have been driving her around to "break it in" and it seems to feel the same to me. I figure that if something goes wrong with it, I want it to happen closer to home insted of 12 miles away trying to get to work. Besides, while I am building the other engine (2.8L), I can still drive the car around. I just have to keep myself from outdoing those Honda boys for now. Thanks

You could buy an MSD 6AL ignition modual (or is it 6A?) . One of them has a "rev limiter" built in. I'm buying the 6AL and putting it on my rebuilt L28 sitting in my den. I have it down to the block, just need to get off my butt and get it milled, port and polished, and bored to a 3.1 stroker. Still tossing the idea around about getting the Jim Cook supercharger. Don't know yet. Good luck with the LS1 swap CabelSrv and welcome to the Z family. :classic:

You are an oasis of knowlage Bambikiller240. Thanks for all the help. :classic:

No, you read it right. The car would not go into 1st gear when I was stopped at the light. So, I had to "pump" the clutch for it to engage. The parts I was talking about where for internal transmission stuff. Should I drain the gear fluid from the trans and put new stuff in? Where is the drain plug and filler plugs located on the trans? (so many questions) Thanks

Yes, The car has the 2.8 liter with the 5 speed trans. I put the new one on today in 5 minutes. Most of the time was consumed after I installed it. Bleeding the line until new fluid came out. then 4 more times after to get any air out of the line. I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was. I had a little trouble at a stop light when the trans did not want to go into 1st gear. I pumped the clutch and then it went in. It never happened again on the way home. Now, should I look into getting replacement parts for my trans? If that is the case, I don't need to be driving the car until I get it fixed. Did the same happen to anyone else?

We will be on the edge of our chairs waiting. :classic:

Hi all. I have the same problem with my slave cylinder. Driving home yesterday, I went to downshift from 3rd to 2nd and my clutch pedal went to the floor. :tapemouth I stopped on the side of the road to look. Fluid trailed from the cylinder boot down the trans. I thought :dead: Taking a closer look, the boot was torn. I bought a new slave cylinder and it came with a new boot. The guy I bought it from said that I had to adjust my clutch?? :stupid: The slave cylinder that is on the car now does not have an adjustable thing?? It looks like it rests up agenst the fork and pushes it. The new cylinder I got today is exactly the same. Just a pushrod type. Is he right or :stupid: ? Could I theoretically pull the old boot off and replace it with the new boot? ( I have already decided to put the new cylinder on, if it fits.) Engine is an F54 block 2.8L . Besides the adjustable link on some, are all slave cylinders alike? Thanks

Thanks a lot bambikiller, I'll give it a go this weekend. Cheers,

Tholt29, That last photo of your car looks alot like mine now. ROFL Check it out.... http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=6978&password=&sort=7&thecat=500

Just how much would you loose? Would this work for a 240 w/ a 280 engine? It might solve my "engine still runs in off" problem.
