Gav240z

could be the module on your distributor on the way out. Mine was playing games on my carbed 240z similar to what yours is doing it gradually stopped all together. Never really made it hard to start, the car always kicked into life easily until the module died.

Now not that I've driven one but as other have pointed out to me you can't judge the machine until you drive it. I remember being told this when i claimed porsche's were nothing special only to feel i ate those words when I watched a porsche special on the history channel. I'm just much more passionate about the Z car. So of all those who dislike the 350z how many have driven one and put it thru it's paces? I think there a good car but I've never driven one .

www.geocities.com/spized1969/ you can find a bit about the car their.

I'm pretty confident they can handle well. The first problem is the rubber bushings in the suspension replace that with urethane. Adjust coil overs, control arms, sway bars etc all help the car but it's a very subjective question. It all depends on your horse power your braking system etc.. Are you going to race? what category are you thinking of? Porsches are good because they've been imporved for years especially the 911. The 959 the turbo 4 wheel drive (911 Shape) is a bit of a supercar for the Z, but I still believe you can get the Z to do what you want. I think all datsuns had great handling probably because of the IRS suspension.

Nobody even mentioned the color scheme doesn't it reminisce the old 240z?

Hi guys, A couple of video's of a friends 240z turbo VS a Skyline GTR. Hope you enjoy Remember to right click and choose save as:- http://fangartists.com/vids/gtrzed.mpeg This is a turbo L28 240z Vs a 600HP Skyline GTR down the 1/4 mile http://fangartists.com/vids/gtrzed2.mpeg Same thing different run. http://fangartists.com/vids/zed01.mpeg 240z turbo vs Ford Falcon V8 I think. http://fangartists.com/vids/zed02.mpeg 240z turbo vs Holden Ute think it was a VS SS ute. They are all 1/4 mile runs.

Anyone know when the Z special will be back on the history channel seeing as I now have cable .

Damn would have been worth the trip to canberra not too far from Vic. I'll spew if it was non vented :sick: .

what a shame i hope they find it again.

All 260z's came with flat tops, anything else was retro fitted later. 73 or the last 240z's had the round top's.

If your intake manifold says N36 it's most likely L26 if it read E88 then your looking at more likely a L24. P30 came on both l24 and l26 blocks as already stated. What year is your Z also? If it's a 2+2 parts car I think it's gonna be l26.

Well finally solved the problem it was the distributor module that was causing all the headache's. I had the rarest of all dizzies too the series 2 turbo 280zx electric dizzy(mitsubishi) so the module wasn't easy to find. I ended up forking out for another electronic dizzy with the E12 module(Hitachi) I think is the one. The car is going ok but I'm also bought another cylinder head with a larger duration camshaft. Around 76 degree's which is what I was thinking of doing. I was tempted to go with a turbo set up I saw for around $3k but decided I was best of not doing that just yet anyway. Thanks for the advice everyone and I'll let you know how my new camshaft profile turns out. Will have to get the dizzy recurved also . BTW: If anyone has a module to suit the mitsubishi dizzy let me know.

You'd be better off using a single weber to suck thru the air into your turbo. Just a thought.

Is the Zap one with the funky paint job? We never got a 280z here in Aus you see just curious .

It's a 280z and not a 240z, I don't know the current value of a 280z maybe one of the others can help you. BTW a 280z can be identified by it's larger front bumpers. :tapemouth

I fit the 10 - 25 k bracket doesn't help when trying to restore the car, but it's the best I can do being a Uni student at the moment unfortunately .

My friends VL turbo had a crank angle sensor problem, didn't stop the car from starting but it did cause it to stall or die for no reason it would missfire and cause all havok. A VL turbo is an RB30Turbo (Nissan Turbo) car and straight 6 basically a younger brother of the L28. I guess it would be best to wait for pictures. As I understand it the L28(280zx) turbo had a different intake manifold, and distributor.
