More interesting long forgotten stuff in boxes. Recieved from motorsport in 2009. Seems to be perfect.

Jeff im using the block and head. Turbo seems complicated beyond my needs. A few little mods will pump her up around 30%. This is enough work for me. ?

Switch pans. Got to get a new clutch.

Thanks for the tips. Got one ordered.

ZH, i was hoping that was the answer. The Courtesy nissan link doesnt seem to be working. #14 looks like threaded pipe.

F54 block has this adapter sticking out The side. Can this just be removed and the filter installed as per the regular manner (straight to the block)? It unscrews, however the filter fastener is in the adapter knuckle.

Waiting on parts. Other jobs that are less glamorous...

Yep, shes got a mechanical fuel pump aperture. Some pipes i found in the shed.

Hey Guy, we’re on the same page on the head. Had it done years ago, brought it home from the machine shop and got lost in some other project. It sat in the garage wrapped in cellophane on a wood crate until yesterday. Anyway, back in the game. Fuel is one of the main issues. Cooling is the another, not sure if the old rad will do and there is nt really a standard for the hoses. All in good time, no panic. Ill have a look through your threads see what i can find.

Haha... in my garage. ?

Hi SUS, stuff a fella needs to know. Thanks. Lots of homework to do. Any recommended sites for new parts?

Hi GK, thanks. I just ordered some stuff from Z Source. Good deal for mounts (two engine, tranny and a dif) $112. Next job is soap and water. Two weeks befor is see delivery ild say.

Hey ZH, i have some pipes and a header. Ill post a few pics of them, maybe tomorrow. I just eyeballed the intake manifold that i took off the original this afternnon, looks correct.

Good day ladies and gentlemen, i havent logged in for a long time, but i think thats going to change to being the guy you're sick of hearing from. Im way up north in Newfoundland and i have a 73 that i tucked away in the back of my shed / garage 10 years ago and forgot about. Just retired-a couple of years ago and after clocking 100k miles on my bike im thinking of a more practical hobby. Long story short, I have a rebuilt f54/p90 modified with compression pumped up, ready to go carbureted. Most of the go fast gear sitting in boxes ready to be bolted on but not everything im going to maintain her as a typical Z. Appearance wise other than engine and pipes. at this stage im dismantling and scratching my head. Engine is out and the car looks pretty good. Trying to figure how much is transferable to the replacement engine. Thoughts and experience pointers welcome. If you know obvious considerations, please throw them out here for me to ponder. ill stick in a few pictures of the state of affairs.

I am looking for new tires and have done a quick search online. The Perelli P4 seems ok, it's not fancy, not expensive and I can get it in 195 70 14 size. It's review ratings at tire rack are in the 80% range. Anyone familiar? Can anyone recommend a better reasonably priced tire? SB

I have the same wheels. Found them in a guys back yard cleaned them and painted the recesses black. They work for me.

Moldings look better than dings. I like Zs lowered an inch or so. Tires I can't find the TAs around here anymore. I have a set on the 280 that I installed in 07, they look good, but didn't wear as nicely as I hoped. 15000 miles - need replacing - to be fair, I didn't spare them.

Beautiful!

Made a donation through Red Cross yesterday. Hope to help someway - this club can focus a small effort. Did it online, took two minutes.
