Z-point

I’m not an expert on engines. Not at all, so tell me why an E31 head is more desirable. It has to do with the cambers, valves? But why does people write “E31 having small valves” if they are desirable? I would say the more power you want out of an engine the bigger the valves you need. I have on my car an E31 with 6-2 header and a L28 in the barn an. The camshaft is on my wish list.

Not only two Z where flooded but many more, read. http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Savinganddebt/Saveonacar/P129008.asp?GT1=7009

Tell me, how can I do this here in Holland???

Sure it is taken place, it’s our anniversary!! The meeting is open for all generations of Z's. I’m not in the event committee therefore I don’t know how many people are coming but I can ask for you. I'm the guy who hits the big drum Send me you mail address and I‘ll mail some documents, all right? Zpoint@tiscali.nl

Some close ups from the accident, what a lucky man I was!!!

Rainer, In august Trier is coming, that's WRC!!! Plus a bonus of 30 oldies, without me But here's another movie Starts with some fast Skoda's

Here's a long movie 190Mb, you need cable or DSL: Eifel

time for a movie

here a 'slowly sideways' of the Audi S1 the driver is a works driver with the Skoda WRC team!!!! more fun

Well we had great fun!!! The spectators, the photographers, on believable that many!!! It was the first time I ever drove a stage rally; in fact we had to ask a lot of things to every body. Still we had fun. It started with the shakedown; we didn’t have the time to scout the track, so we went in ‘blind’. Before driving a series of stages you have the chance to scout the track and make pace notes. Do you know how to do that, we didn’t. But with a lot of asking we manage.. Friday afternoon the picture was taken and of we go…into the late evening. Saturday morning it was bingo!!! We slipped of the road into the Forrest……. After the whole pack came by for the second time the fire brigade pulled us out. Got everything on tape (its coming). After checking the car we regrouped with the others and drove the rest of the three stages. Normally you drive along your year of build, but now I had to close the row between the big Audi, Björn Waldegard and the many quick Lancia’s. What a way of living….

Here's a picture taken from the fire truck.

Did my first (demo)stage rally Last weekend we took part at the Eifel Historic Rally in Germany. What a great event that was!!!! The historic group is called “Slowly Sideways”. First I’ll tell you what’s this is all about. Took this from their website. ------------------------------------------------ All about us .... If you own one of rallyings classics of the past, but do not want to enter any kind of the numerous kinds of historic rallying with your collectors item, we have some news for you: Just imagine you own one of Sandro Munaris Lancia Stratos or Hannu Mikkolas Audi Quattros what would you do with this car. Even if it was eligible, you would not enter historic rallying with it. You could drive it on a race track, there it would not get damaged, but it would not feel good. Rally cars are not made for racetracks. To use it for a weekend drive in the countryside, no way. To leave it parked in the garage? How boring. We have news for you. During the course of a year we organise a few demonstration events for collectors rally cars. We use a few selected stages of current events and drive about one hour before the first real competitor over these stages. These stages are carefully chosen - nice tarmac with almost no gravel- to suit our cars and not damage them. But they are proper closed stages with lots of demanding bends. There is strictly no competition, everyone drives at the speed he feels safe to do and in respect towards each other. Björn Waldegard is one of our regular guest driver and said once: The difference to rallying is here that everyone drives with each other, not against each other. You can recce the event and go full swing with pace notes, but you do not have to, it could also be a gentlemans drive. If you have a problem with your car you can even service it and rejoin later. And all this in a friendly atmosphere without the pressure of competition and sets of regulations. But if you need to collect fame and cups, it is the wrong thing to do. In our group the cars are the stars, not the drivers. - Our demo drives are strictly non-sporting and therefore not subject to any sports regulations. - There is no technical scrutineering, noise check etc. and no competition licence is required. - Thus during the course of the event drivers and cars can be changed and parts of the route can be omitted to rejoin later. - Cars need to be road traffic insured and the use of helmets and fireproof overalls is recommended due to safety reasons. - Entry is reserved for rally cars only, no street homologation models. - Cars must be in restored condition and represent the international history of rallying, being built until and including 1986. Cars built after 1986 (Group A) must be original works cars only. - Optical appearance must be original, private sponsors are not welcome and their size is limited to a space not exceeding 50x50cm in total. - Cars do not need to be an original, replicas are also welcome. - Entries close about 4 weeks before each event. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secondly have a look at the entree list over here Then we start with some appetizers Lancia Stratos : http://www.rallye3.de/videos/clips/eifel05/eifel05-h42.wmv Audi Quattro S1 : http://www.rallye3.de/videos/clips/eifel05/eifel05-h1.wmv

thanks Andrew, Your are close! But I changed the diff in Holland so it ‘could’ not be a UK diff....but on the other hand I don’t where the 2e diff came from. It’s a funny thing. You read; many Z drivers are looking for a 3.9 so you think that’s the one I must have. Never realized it was just under me ‘seat’. Now I changed it ‘in the blind’ for a R200 3.7 :nervous:

Well I came to this conclusion by this list.......... Here in Europe Z's were equipped with 3.3 and 3.5.! ---------------------------------------------------------- Ok, here's a list of what came in what...... 3.36 R-180: 240-260Z manual trans R-200: 280zx 6/78-7/79 280zx auto's and 280ZX Turbo's 3.54 R-180: 240-280ZX auto's Maxima sedan, manual trans R-200: 280Z manual, 280zx Turbo 3.700 R-180: 810 sedan R-200: 280ZX manual 6/78-6/79, 300zx non-turbo and Turbo 3.90 R-180: 720 4x4 1/83-6/83 R-200: 280ZX n/turbo 80-83 200SX Turbo 84, 200SX V-6 4.11 R-180: 720 4x4 6/83-12/85 R-200: 200SX Turbo 85-86, 200SX n/t 84-88 4.37 R-180: 720 4x4 6/79-12/82 R-200: n/a 4.62 R-180: 720 4x4 Long bed 6/79-6/80 R-200: n/a

Hi all, I don’t get I just opened my R180 diff and this is what it says on the wheel 39:10 BX 2 10 12 There is also written on the wheel with yellow paint, 113 Can somebody help me out because I always thought a R180 was not in a 3.9 version??? This is not the original diff of the car..

Chris, This looks superb. That’s what I call a fresh start!! Perhaps I over read it in the story but how do you tackle the hollow spaces of the chassis and the double layers which are welded. Is this bare metal as well? I put my chassis in an (hot air) oven and it burnt everything off it. I think both ways are good but at the end you have to take another bath or something like that to protection the chassis again. Therefore I like to know what you are going to do about it? oven
