McZ

Do you know what size they are?

Well, had to come up with something, so my middle name is McCoin and the Z is obvious.

I have that issue and re-skimmed it. Pretty much the same as the website article. The car is a 240Z but swapped for the L28 then bored and stroked it to 3098cc. I guess it's just understood that the L24 was replaced by a L28 by stating it is one. Hope that helps.

Yes, the higher the number, say 4.11 instead of 3.54 will make for faster 1/4 mile and 0-60 times, but lower top end speed. Don't know if you plan to, but swapping to a manual trans will help out too.

I check his site again to make sure and he did say a 240's could'nt be used. (His name is Bryan Little not Brian, my bad) How did you do yours? Not having to swap out tachs suits me just fine.

I'll more than likely go with the zx setup first, then later on give Jacobs a try. Like you said, there are other areas that can use the $ first. I thought you have to use the tach from an electronic igition (or at least the guts). Think I read that on Brian Little's website.

Thanx for the info beandip. I'm going to check them out.

Stock for now. Will go with a type of electronic in the future. Has anyone heard of JACOBS ignition? A mechanic who owns a toyota performance shop (I know, I know, but he seems to know his stuff:geek: ) swears by it.

Happy Bithday to her! ROFL

Well, I guess it depends on who you talk to if it's THE best, but what's good about it is if you put it on a 280 block the compression goes up. Down side is the valves are smaller than later heads, but they can be changed. Since yours is a '71 the head is more than likely stock.

After 10 you become an Active Member:classic:

All 240s have the word DATSUN on the front fenders behind the wheels 260s & 280s have 260Z & 280Z. 240s & 260s have the front turn signals below the bumper at the corners, 280s are above in the grill. Series I 240s (mostly '70s, sometimes '69 & '71s) have 240Z on the roof pillars instead of the round Z emblem & two vents on the back hatch below the glass.

Thanx, didn't think to look there!:stupid:

Was checking back on answers to my thread (E46 vs E88 intakes) and I can't find it. Was it taken off of some reason?

My Z is a Series I (built 7/70. Hey, it's its birthday! ) It has the E31 head and I'll check this weekin on the number of carb bolts. Happy 4th to everyone!

Sorry, title was suppose to be E46 vs E88 intake

On the Datsun Z Garage site he talks about the E88 and N36 carb intakes, says heard of E46 but not seen one. My '70 Z has the E46, does anyone know what is different about it?:cross-eye

That's funny!!

Thanx for clearing that up for me guys. As far as why they used Z I read that Z was the japanese charater "mugen" meaning unlimited or the like.

Sorry for the dumb question, but why do you call them Zeds? I never caught the reason.:stupid:

What would be a fair price for an uncracked '70 Z dashboard? I see one on ebay with a starting price of $350. Mine has 2 good cracks in the middle and not interested in a dash cover.

Try looking on ebay, but the best place is in my opinion is ZTherapy.com.

The book Timberwolf was talking about is How to rebuild your Nissan & Datsun OHC Engine by Tom Monroe. You can get it from Amazon.com. Another good one to go with it is How to modify your Nissan & Datsun OHC Engine by Frank Honsowetz.

Thanx for the replies. I've e-mailed Ztherapy and am waiting for an answer. I'll try him too.
