Hmmm, Interesting how the subject's of people of throwing up on shoes, and Victor wearing a thong seem to come up in the same post. They just seem to go together. :tapemouth

Welcome to FANTASYLAND, Kelly! :stupid: ROFL :stupid:

Hi Dave: No, I haven't heard of GUDE, but I'm going to try a web search and see if anything comes up. EDIT www.gude.com Yeah, sometimes in rushing to lend a hand, people seem to mis-read the question being asked and end up giving an answer to a different question that wasn't asked. Carl

Well, he asked for advice on a BUILDER for a NA Engine (not on how to build one) putting out those HP numbers. I'm fairly certain that Tom (as a Mech Eng. Tech.) understands that HP costs $$$. Rebello (and Sunbelt Engines) do have the knowledge to get 300+ HP out of a NA L6. He may end up going Turbo, but that isn't the question he asked for advice on.

BANZAI MOTORWORKS sells VIN plates (and many repro Stickers etc found on S30 Z cars) for 240Z's, I don't know if they offer them for 260Z's

Your first post specified NATURALLY ASPIRATED, so I don't understand the Turbo suggestions. :stupid: REBELLO is the way to in CA

Just found out it was caught on Film (if you have a dial-up connection, it'll take a while to load and run)

Are you aware that he 240Z's had wiring built into the wiring loom for driving lights? Up front, near the horns, feel around on the wiring loom for a bulge near each horn. That is the connectors for driving lights. It has been folded back and wrapped in tape from the factory. ***Now I'm no electrical wiz, and I don't know what amperage you would draw with the lights you bought. Also, I don't remember where the other end of those wires ends up, so you'd have to look at a schematic and look around under the dash (probably). Anyway, just thought I mention this.

Hi Bruce: Without getting into a BASHING of the previous ZTherapy owner or his product; can you enlighten us on what changes have been made to the SU's currently being sold by your company to make them better than before? BTW, Were you at the MSA show in 2002? If so, I may have met you on the bus tour to the Nissan Museum. Regards, Carl

Here's a copy of an email posting to the IZCC Mail List from the Crew Chief for Chet Wittel Racing, who won 2 SCCA ITS National Championships in a 240Z. Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 13:11:51 -0600 Subject: <L6> Exhaust advice and muffler reccomendation needed I'd stick to a Dynomax Super Turbo. Much less obnoxious sounding than a Flowmaster. I think the P/N is 17723 for the 2.5 diameter in/out, you're on your own for stock pipe size. Only loses 1hp at the wheels over a straight pipe in my tests.

Finally! That Forum has needed a good cleaning for a LOOOOONG time. Thanks.

Having never done this, I'm probably not the best one to answer, but...........my understanding is that the strut housing needs to be sectioned (shortened) and the coil-over spring perch must be welded onto the housing. 2ManyZs, you can chime in anytime as I'm sure you know more about this than I do

Yeah, Alfa; I'm not sure what the deal is either. It never bothered me. It is bigger than the ones they use in cars now, but back in the late 60's and early 70's when these cars were produced, "micro-electronics weren't all that "micro" and were much more expensive to produce.

Sorry, No Picture, but he's refering to the switch assembly that turns on the parking and headlights on a 240Z. It is sort of "bulbous" at the end on a narrow "stem" from the steering collumn. Thus "potato on a stick":stupid:

Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable Strut cartridges are considered very good for these cars. There are other coices also, such as Koni struts. A wide varienty of Suspension bits are available from www.ground-control.com including springs, sway bars, adjustable coil-over kits, adjustable camber and caster kits. Many folks replace the rubber bushings with Polyurethane bushings and/or switch to an adjustable coil over spring set up. Suspension Techniques is another place that offers bushings, springs, and sway bar kits for 240Z's.

There are indeed two types of Round Top SU's. The earliest ones have the 4 screw domes that you mention. They are supposed to be more desirable to racers, though I don't know the reason that they are more desirable. It could be that they do not have provision for the engine coolant to preheat them like the 3 screw one do. The 3 screw Round Top SU's are from later 240Z's, like in 1972 (prior to the Flat -top Hitachi's being used in 1973) You may be able to find more info on www.ztherapy.com. They are reputed to be the best rebuilder of SU's in the country. Good Luck!

When my LEFT turn Signal stopped working, it was the turn signal switch causing it. I cleaned mine several time and the problem kept recurring, so I spent the bucks (big ones) to replace it with a new one. There is a thread from last week discussing the different switches and replacement Read THIS THIS THREAD for more information.

Just two months ago, I bought one from Nissan. So there is a fourth source. I am refrring to the rubber one, not the vinyl one.

Simple. www.arizonazcar.com

My understanding is that the Hazards have a different "flasher unit", so I assume tha they are on a different circuit. Do your brake, and/or tail lights work? I think that they are on the same circuit as the signals, since they use the same bulbs. EDIT: :stupid: Err, wait a minute, the Hazzard's use those bulbs too, but as Zs-ondabrain indicates below one circuit is switched and the other is not. Guess I shouldn't type when sleepy

Have you swapped in a new fuse for that circuit? A fuse can look good and still be bad. Try a new one. Have you looked for a wire that might have gotten pinched in your installation of the radio?

I'd be interested so long as the cost remained semi reasonable.

:cross-eye Well, the verdict is in from eBay. Somebody wanted them pretty badly. Wonder how p*ssed he'll be when the first stone on the road flys up whacks a big divot out of one of them?:mad:

Thanks Alfa, Now I can figure out what the heck Rick has been saying all this time!
