RB25DET, with 200zr oil sump, it is the lowest the engine will go and I might be able to raise the engine a bit but I'm looking for excuses to not, like my brother's camaro is 65mm off the ground and he doesn't seem to have WOF problems.

it's 100mm here as well, is that from it's lowest location? my oil sump is about 20mm - 30mm lower than what would normally be the car's lowest point, if that matters it means it's 20mm heigher than it could be?

don't know much on the inner workings of the 240z fuel tanks but it sounds like a good idea if it works. How safe is that, I mean whats the chances of hitting something that knocks that line, especially if it's lowered? Are there any '75 or '76 280Z's in Australia? they have built in surge tanks and fit straight in 240's. Another idea is a fuel cell, bit expensive though.

Is this as opposed to getting a surge tank?

240's did over this way

Will they agree on a quote from an insurance evaluator? - when I had my 300 insured they said it was only worth about $7000 so I got it evaluated (evaluator said $12000) and they accepted that.

22yo 65% no claims (never claimed ever), thanks That Ozzy Guy, Ben, for the insurance co names

isn't that what was used in the old GTR's (like '71's or so)

Thinking about coming over next year with my Z, what do you think my chances are of getting insurance for an RB powered Z?

the '75 and '76 fuel tanks have surge tanks built in as well

I believe the only thing you need to do is to not sell it for 12 months. Here are the exact rules: http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/factsheets/12.html

I thought the 75 / 76 was the latest year gas tank that fits a 240

This has been disscussed here before, can't be sure but I believe the answer was yes, you might want to do a search to be sure. good idea though, will reduce the weight a bit and looks better

sounds good

you might be able to use the sump off a 200zr, don't know if this needs mods on an RB30 (it does for RB26's but doesn't on RB20's or RB25's). I'm using that sump + modified mounts and my engine is pretty dam low. best to change the mounts, might as well have the engine as low as it can go and as far back as it can go for better handling.

I just spoofed my pants

Dam right there from NZ, their songs are simular to the Rolling Stones style of music

not the best colour but the last Z race I went to, a dark green 240z and the orange gnose got my attention the most out of the other colours.

just curious, how many people here drive Autos?

that's the colour my 240 used to be, looks better wet

are you joking, they look crap!

Some people don't seem to try very hard in selling their cars

around 500lbs you recon, at 250hp thats a better power to weight ratio than a F1 car

triple DCOEs if can spare the money, you will need a new cam setup though
