Well found a handy list at http://www.geocities.com/inlinestroker/ratio.html hope it helps if someone else is looking for one.

Hi recently at the wrecking yard close to my house in the middle of no where they have recieved several Nissans with R200s and I am trying to get info on the ones I should get before they are crushed soon. They have a mid 80s non turbo 300zx, a hmm late 80s early 90s 200sx I think, 280zx turbo that I am buying, 280zx non turbo and varius other nissan cars from the 80s and maybe early 90s. I was searching and keep find a little bit here and there but has any one found a list of models and what R200 they had? Thanks in advance for the help.

Ahh ok didnt relize thats all it needed. I have to pull out the tank when I am doing the switch to the early 240 bumpers so I can do it then. Thanks for the help:)

Hi I purchased a 260z that had been modified with an L28, Webbers etc but one of the things the previos owner did for some reason was take out the vapor recovery stuff. Also he left the open holes in the tank. His solution was to only put maybe half a tank of gas in so it would not splash out. I dont think this can be safe plus it just seems like bad idea in general. So my question is should I track down all of the vapor recovery parts and try and put it all back together or should just come up with something that will let it vent to a safe place or just do the fuel cell? Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give me.

Ahh great thats what I was wondering what things I can use to upgrade onto my 260z. Thanks:)

Oh ya I know. But I need the 5 speed and the R200 and I think both of those should work. Also I already have an L28 with trips on the car but I am thinking of doing the turbo or a V8:)

Sounds like I need to get it home and start moving parts over to my 260:)

Hi I found a 280zx turbo that someone is selling. Its just a parts car really but the motor, transmission is all there. I am mainly buying it for the turbo pieces but what other parts would be good to get off of the car before I have it crushed? I am thinking they had R200s with 3.90 grears but I am not sure. Oh I am getting the parts for my 260z or to sell or trade:)

After looking at some photos in struck me that the GTO conversion for the Datsun and the Daytona Couple have almost exactly the same lines almost all the way around. Any one ever think of buying the kit and using it as a starting point to make your z into a Daytona couple knockoff?

Well today I am driving home my new Z (see http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=111658#post111658 ) car I have not had a running one in 8 or 9 years give or take. While looking for this one I was thinking about taking out the sound proofing to save weight and doing a v8 conversion etc. Driving the car home that already had the sound proofing taken out and some other things to make it louder etc plus a wheel barring about to die driving 55 or 60 becouse of the low gears I started thinking differently... I need to add really good sound proofing.... I dont need a V8 this L28 with triple webbers is fine since I am not going to be street racing like when I was 19.... I would rather just drive to car shows and be comfortable and the car just run good.... I need to have good highway gears.... etc etc etc. Then I start thinking to myself man I am getting old and I am only 34:) Has any one had this experence:)??

Well I have my new Z finaly. I had been looking for one for a while and made a deal for this one http://www.geocities.com/ellencardona@sbcglobal.net/Pictures/Z/ . I traded a camera and some cash for it. It was a nice car at one time but needs a little love to get it back to good a really nice condition. But he has already done a lot to it. It has the triple webbers, header, almost all bushings, exhoust, swaybars (geting the front one fixed and the back one is the good one that mounts to the dif housing and not the body. Also has the alternator upgrade, electric fans, 3.83 gears I believe, short shifter, centerforce clutch and preasure plate, and came with a kevlar racing seet and 5 point harnes. Runs good and idles good. But it does need a new interior but I just happen to have one:) Its geared to low for using the 4spead I had to drive about 60 the 70 miles home at 3500RPM. So I am going to get the good fivespeed out of one of my parts cars and maybe trade out the dif but not sure. Needs a wheel barring very badly. Need to service the air. Fix a couple of spots on the body, small hole in passangers floor. Probobly change heads he said it has the older model head with the flat top pistons and it deisels a little when you kill it. Needs a brake booster. I also need to change to the early z style bumpers that fit close to the body and go back to normal crome not the blacked out bumbers and crome. Probobly a lot more but thats enought to think about for now.

I live in the area but have not joined one. I might after I get my Z going.

Well unless the body is messed up I have 6 parts cars, about 3 good transmissions and tons of other parts. I am just worried about having to put the body on a machine to get it strait:) Of spending a lot of time welding things back together. But parts those I have. But then again if somethings wrong I will see if I can get a better price;)

Hi I have made a deal for a car pending final inspection. Its a 260z that the owner used to drive and autocross. I am wondering what to check for that could be broken from autocrossing. I know the front swaybar mount needs fixed but that seems to be very common. The car has an L28 with triple webbers and header, performance springs, swaybars, bushings etc. It also still has the air and heater hooked up and the inside is not to bad but I have all the pieces to make it look perfect I think. Any way excited to get the car but want to make sure to know what damage to look for besides rust.

Do you know of any sites with info on doing it. Is it just a matter of heating and cooling the metal and shaping it with a hammer and form?

Hello how would you go about fixing a top that is a little wavy. It had been bondoed in the past and now has a crack. Would fiber reinforced bondo on top with maybe even a couple of strips of steel underneath work? Whats the best way to fix this?

Ya I guese I can take jack back with me so I can get it up in the air more. I crawled underneath it but did not have a hammer with me. I would like to find Z with no rust but I am not sure it will ever happen I have looked at a lot of them. Even the ones where they told me they stripped it down etc and it had no rust had bondo behind each door and where they rust on the hatch. Oh well I will check it over again when I can get up there.
