  6. heres a buntch of images i am to poor to tackle this project i am beggining to worry
  7. I tryed everything the 27mm on the crank this motor refuses to move i have sea foam in the cylnder... I am goonna tear the motor apart and see what all is messed up..
  8. Yesterday i went to pick up my 260z. It has been sitting for 20 years in Colorado climate.... The person who owned it before me died and his brother let it sit in his farms field... I got my hands on it... I barly know were to start... I drained oil looked new surprisingly... did full tune up spark plugs, spark plugs wires. distributor cap, I took the headers off and blasted exhaust out to make sure i had flow... put sea foam in all 6 cylnders haven't put spark plugs in yet... But I could not get the motor to crank it is seized up, The guy told me it ran when it was parked... So I know there hope... WHat all can i do? I have taken the starter off pryed on the flywheel and the timing gear at differnt angels... The cam moves a little to the slack of the timing chain but the bottom end is seized... What all can I do? To get the motor unstuck? The guy told me his brother bought the car brand new from the dealer... WIth the sports package or what ever for the better suspension... Is there any way to tell? And the car is a automatic how crappy are the automatics of this era...? is has bf goodrich tires p245 60r14... there huge and thick and bald as a slick... the front tire have a lot of tread just dry rotted.... the car has m ost of its emission off headers... dual sun roof. whale tail... Are the 260z fast? in comparsion to the 240 or 280...? Car has little to no rust just surface.... but has a front spoiler and wide stance in the back for the bigger tires... in the condition of the motor and every thign the odometer reads 26k.... which is belivable with the condtion of parts.... Is there anyway to tell once iget the motor to crank over? Sorry so many questions I am just figuring out what i got. Any information or help would be nice thank you
  9. i do everything in my driveway of my apartment with cheap tools
  10. yeah and that car i was doing 155 i had r200 diff.
  11. I have 0 knowledge of nitrous... How bad is it on a motor? and I really am not worried about blowing the motor up as long as i run pretty good times ha... Is there any place I can just go to get a entire nos setup or is it all online?
  12. The car went 13's with a pretty nicely built n42 block with e88 head... But this year I just have a p79 with f54 block... is it possible to turbo charge carbs? that may be dumb but i mean if you force air into the SU carbs is it just gonna break them? ha i am just trying to find a quick fix i have a budget of $1200 and two weeks... This motor seems to build much nicer with the lightweight fly wheel then the previous one but it might be my imagination... Woudl it be a good idea to buy some slicks for the back? I tend to spend the wheels going through first and beggining of second...
  13. ok last year I ran consistent 13's... But I have a new motor thia year so what is the easy way to get better times... Should I run higher octane? Last year I had a E88 head on a N42 block so I believe the compression was around 10/1*... This year I have a p79 head with a f54 block... So I think the compression is around 8.5/1* ... I ran a 13 high last year running NA motor at 6000+ elevation but I had 100+ octane. Can I run avation or blue fuel with the new motor? What happens with high octane in lower compression motors? What can I do fast and quick to get my time nice?
