gundee

Took a photo of one of the buckets that are going in. Yup, they have eyebrows. Indicate the taller piston?

Yes, I hear you. That is the only way to do it. My rebuild got stopped in its tracks a while ago. My builder developed cancer from agent orange. It has also badly damaged his heart and lungs. The chemo was pretty aggressive. He can hardly lift a simple wrench anymore. I will be going to plan B once I figure it out.

The head i planned to use is an E88 from a 260Z. It has been ported and shaved .020. I still have the original 72 E88 head as well. I will dig out the pistons and measure.

I plan to put my numbers matching L24 back in the car. This I think will help to sell it. In doing so I had the block bored out and fitted with .040 pistons. P/N 12010-H2716. Not sure now if these are going to extend above the block deck. I am also not sure what they mean by 'these items are not interchangeable.

If that previous owner dropped in that L28 with the P90 head bone stock then it really was not much of an upgrade anyway. May he had a bad L24 and put that engine in. It is nothing more than a bigger cubic inch motor with low compression. Complete waste of time. Unless he just needed a replacement motor.

Probably. Road America does not have a corner worker station like that shown anywhere on the track. At any time ever.

Still have my 1977 Road Atlanta stub. Lost a lot of the photos over the years unfortunately.

Group 44 build one TR250 and two TR6's. The TR250 later had TR6 sheet metal put on it. We don't know for sure what car this is. The PLN car was purchased and returned to the Group 44 livery. Another person built and has been racing a clone with this livery.

Not Road America. I have worked all the left hand turns there.

Thanks I just may get my Z a Christmas present. He does have them back in stock now. Not sure if a local aluminum foundry is making them. Or from overseas. Will look nice when the car goes on BaT

Anyone here have the cast aluminum oil pan sold by Arizona Z Car? Any issues? Does it fit well with clearances. Been eyeing this up for some time.

Has anyone ever tried upgrading the 240Z master cylinder to the 15/16 master cylinder using the stock calipers? I have Hawk HPS pads. I just never liked the cold street grip no matter what pad I used. A 20 minute track session is fine where you get some heat in the pads. Getting a 240Z to work more like any newer daily driver you might have is what I want.

Not a fan of these bolt on plastic flares or their design. All the ones I see look as though they were made for a different car and a person screwed them on to a 240Z. Also, I too could never cut my fenders. I like all your other work. I see a lot of money there for sure.

I live up here in Snow land and have some good friends that live in the South. I like it down there as well. I did not support those that want to remove all the Statues of people of the Southern Heritage because some were "offended" at having to view them. Now we need "safe rooms" on College campus's complete with care bears and other stuffed toys. They call it protection from others micro aggression's. Things sure have changed since I was in College.

Being a Veteran, I lean certain ways on some issues. However I much disliked both candidates this last Election. I am an equal opportunity disliker. I do like Guns though!!!

This is from the 1984 Datsun Competition Parts Catalog. IMSA GTU 280ZX.

Mike, I sent it to you. See if this is one you do not have already.

I scanned a 3 page TSB into a PDF file. Being from 1975 its a bit dirty. I would like to clean it up a bit. I can do it with a JPG photo but not sure I can do the same with a PDF. My photo editor does not do PDF's.

Who is XENON online Manuals? I have these two for scanning. Or would someone on this site like to scan them and return them.

Good idea. I am installing towers on a head now with .015 shims.

I also have a used 1981 280ZX FSM for the asking. Better condition than the 280Z FSM I had posted above.

I worked at an electrical company for years located right across the street from Pierce. I watched what seemed like weekly plant tours for prospective buyers.

Always wondered if it was still around. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2014/03/25/bonnie-and-clyde-death-car-controversy-takes-center-stage-for-upcoming-anniversary/#comments-block

On my bucket list is to remove this valve assy. totally from my system. I see no need. I want separate piping direct to both front and rear. Next owner can do what he wants.
