If it still wants to understeer no matter what you do with setup, try some light left foot braking through the problem corners, keeping the power on though and assuming that the brakes can take the extra work. And let us know how it all goes, fascinating stuff. SOPwith21, You gonna have to be under power to get her to turn with that welded rearend....BTW, keep a eye on those stub axles as well for breakage....Something has to give or slip for you to turn with the locked diff. I ran with welded rear ....350f/250r rates with rear sway bar Koni D/As...Once I swapped in Quaife, the rear bar had to go. David

My guess for "high" 71-73 prices would be that NADA possibly values these prices with original price taken consideration....hmm...that doesn't make sense, but my thought. Have there been many 70 240s change hands recently that would give NADA something to base their "values" on?.... I've seen several 71-73s sell and for sale recently that were advertised as very nice condition... Maybe others can extrapolate futher.... I would be interested in seeing some of recently purchased car prices..... david

them guards are OK.....unless the bumper is flipped>) david

Impact wrench does the trick coming off, Must take more civilized approach torqueing back on... Screw driver on the tranny bolts is tricky one man job using torque wrench David

HI Sopwith21, I'll throw out one more combo....72 240z SCCA ITS I've ran F/R spring rates 400/300, 375/300, 350/300 , Last year I settled down with 400/300 koni D/As, without R sway bar, front bar about 1", quaife diff. zero rear toe, 1/8 toe in front....... Handles fairly neutral. I to have heard the reverse combo of heavier springs in rear, but haven't tried..."Mine works" for me. YMMV.... BTW...Keep a eye on your Link Mount Brace..."they help locate the rear of control arms". I just noticed mine were tearing, or breaking at bolt holes where they attach to the body .....lots of over steer... :surprised Waiting for next race weekend..... David Spillman

Jason, I had similar miss at 5500-5800, turned out to be leaking/failing brake booster, short term fix, plugged line at manifold, went away...wasted 2 race weekends, and 45 min on chassis dyno to track down. Shoot a little carb cleaner around carbs, linkage and such listen for rpm fluctuations.....helps me find big vac. leaks.. FWIW, David Spillman

RogersBW, Check your Private Messages on this website, I emailed 8/21..2:28PM . Contact me at volgolf@aol.com or 828-287-4925...cell 828-289-0098.......If arrangements aren't satisfactory with Ken. david spillman

Pulled this of my 70 240 this afternoon, any thoughts to it being a factory option, dealer installed, or plain old aftermarket job...its metal and attaches to the back side of radiator. I've searched and haven't found this question addressed. Thanks, David Spillman

Yea I second that, Without stock horns, you will gain a couple HP up top, but torque curve drops way off. Those MA horns look awesome...I may have to give em a try. david

Jason, I've seen the foam burn, but only under odd ball circumstances.. Fellow racer lost his altenator, and battery lost power, causing misfiring engine, did catch on fire and burn big spot in the hood. Proper running car shouldn't have that kinda flame. :classic: The element is 2 stage on ITG, with proper oiling , I've had no filtration or lack of filtering problems.... david

Can't go wrong with the setup from ITG...MA sells them, large air volume good flow. Little $$$ but worth it. I've seen only 2.5-3 HP lost on RW DYNO :devious: David Spillman

HI Tractor If Adam can't help you out give me a email at volgolf@aol.com.. I have a couple of years as well sitting around. david spillman

No apologies needed, I understand your position. david spillman

Guys, I think Chris got a great deal on the car. I know for a fact that there are at least 2 individuals who would pay double the ebay price to get there hands on that car. Early cars will/are demanding higher prices then the Nissan restored models.....How many <100 VIN cars are left? 25-30? Bout the same number of the redone factory cars. Will be a great investment in the long run. david spillman [i would have loved to be the winner but there's no way I was going that high sight unseen, especially when the seller never responded to multiple requests for information and more pix (I don't know what his deal was but I think he was a very poor seller). I also have to agree with bambi about the price, I was amazed at the final price. :surprised]

Congrads Chris, I to felt is is or will be worth the investment in the long run. I was asleep at the wheel. David Spillman

I've tried for several hours to email questions...getting bounced "undeliverable" Ideas? Kinda fishy to me. :nervous: david

Weighed the tranny today, comes in at 105 pounds without converter...converter weighing another 18 pounds Wow...quite a difference from the 4-5 speed cars!! Bill I'll call a trucking friend of mine and run this by him, for a estimate.......... Yea, I've been thru the ordeal of waddling into the post office with large or heavy car parts to mail....... david

Mateo05, If still considering the painless way, I have the painless wiring kit I purchased for my race car three years ago...minus one relay. I decided not to use in order to save weight went with lighter 6 toggle switches instead. $75 for the kit....minus one relay, minus paper work that came with it. Not too difficult to figure out. Be glad to shoot you a Pic if you like. trying to clean out the barn david

I'll check on the weight of stuff....pretty dang heavy thou.... all I could do to carry it to the garage door. If I had to guess,it'd be close to 75-100 pounds, I'll carry the bathroom scales out to the garage tomorrow,and get you a number. Swapping to 5-speed is fun stuff!......if you remember that they made a couple different kinds of clutch pedals..... david

I started making space for it yesterday, but Looks like I lost out by a couple of bucks.....I did get some more Pics of underbody this morning from the seller, and it wasn't pretty sight. I didn't have a doner tunnel, and both floors/ rails...so maybe for the best!! I wish best of wishes to the winner of fairlady project! It'll be a special car! david

Pulled out low mileage 60-70,000 auto tranny from car last night......Flex plate,converter,lines,brackets for lines,vacumn line....anyone have interest? I have no need for these items. I'll keep the linkage/shifter Free Pay shipping cost and its yours. david

Sounds like it'll hurt...maybe this will help Above screwdriver...laser pointer stand in. David
